Simple Zen Template - Support Thread

Yep, that's fixed it, thanks. All I need know is to find out how to put more space between the boxes on the left and right columns.

Thanks again.

dharma,

90+% of the time, if IE looks bad, the problem is with something in the code. FF is very forgiving and will adjust. IE is clueless. Head over to http://validator.w3.org/ and let it check your site or add the html validator from tidy to ff.

You Guys Are So Smart!

It turns out I was missing an end tag, and it was not a custom IE7 css massagey thingy as I thought..... it looks fine now! thanks again!

oh! I was not able to validate the shopping cart page because a product must be the cart to view that page.

Any work arounds? I have also tried Total Validator from the FF browser, but no luck viewing the shopping cart page with products.

Hey all, hey jettrue. Wanted to ring in with my $.02 that your theme kicks much ######, and I am currently kicking back because finding it took about three days off the project for me.

I had a question, though. I've switched up the topnav file with one of mine, separated into four icons. I've adjusted the css to allow for four a.link spots, and currently the three that existed before are fine now, but I have added a third button (my account is the fourth) and don't understand where to put the actual link. I've looked through all the included files and cannot see any static links, and I don't know how zen cart is generating those.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm sure this is a very easy question, but I can't work it out. How do I add pictures/images to the sidebars. I know this is a fairly elementary question, but I just can't find anything on this.

Many thanks.

Sorry for the way delayed reply. I think I put that image map in the footer?

You can do it in the stylesheet. :)

Hello-

I have undertaken an implementation using your template and it is involving some significant customization, I am hoping to get answers to a few questions.

1. I am using horizontal category navigation and each category is represented on my navigation bar. When a category opens, it is opening to a H1 title that is the same as the category name. I need to change the text that appears at the top of the category page above the category description. Can you explain how I would do this?

I have modified the header and am having trouble getting all horizontal navigation buttons to line up properly. I have played with several adjustments, but cannot seem to get control of it. Can you advise?

CSS posted here:

#navCatTabs {
height:30px



}
#navCatTabs ul {
padding-left: 0px;
padding: 0 3px 0 0;
list-style-type: none;
background-image: url('../images/OFF.jpg');
float: left;
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
margin-left: 0px;
}

#navCatTabs ul li {
display:inline
}

#navCatTabs a {
padding: 6px 9px 7px 9px;
display: block;
float: left;
border-right: 1px #666666 solid;
width: 111px;
}
#navCatTabs a:hover {

background-image:url('../images/ON.jpg')
}

#navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
color: #FFFFFF;
}


Very nice template

Thanks for your help!

I know everyone thinks I harp on this a lot, but your code errors are creating most of your problems.

http://tinyurl.com/cmko2z shows your site's errors. Fixing the UL, TR, etc errors will help.

I use the Simple Zen template for my store, http://amuchbetterstore.com (and love it, thank you!). I recently switched hosting providers and everything seems to be working great except some of the css didn't transfer properly.

Most of my store appears the same except for the gradient line under the horizontal nav, the color bar in the header and the three main shopping icons.

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! TIA

I don't know if this is a template issue or a general Zen issue because I am still figuring this cart out, but how do you

1) Remove the number of products in each category from showing next to the category

2) Remove where it says "New Products For Month"

Thanks for a great template.
