Simple Zen Template - Support Thread

[jettrue]

well this is actually one for you i have tried to figure this out now for a day and a half but can't find what needs to be done. I am trying to carry the border around the my account area ( the light border around the whole thing and it sits between the title) i want to set that onto the categories menu but i can not get it at all. would apreciate any help.

Thanks

I'm not really visualizing what you mean, sorry! Are you saying you want the border around the my account section, and have it ######## up against the categories menu?

take a look at my site. www.shopyoungway.com (long off from being finished) the categories menu has better categories built into it. but no outline border it just does not fit right i want to put like a border around the categories menu and the categories header. the prob i run into is i can get it around the menu itself but the header gets on border. i was looking at the my account sign up page and it has a light grey border that wraps around the whole signup sheet and kinda envelopes the hearder for it. this is what i am trying to get it would fit perfect but every piece of css i play with just does not fit

Did you try #navColumnOneWrapper or #navColumnOne or .leftBoxContainer? All three with a border should both enclose the categories menu, along with the categories header.

Thanks for letting me know that Isaac. Here is the fix.

Open up includes/templates/simple_zen/css/stylesheet_new.css.

Find

* html #tagline li {
  	margin-left:-165px;
  	}
  
* html #tagline a {
  	height:67px; 
  	he\ight:0;
  	}

and get rid of it altogether. It was a bad IE hack that didn't address the real issue. (sorry)

Then find

#tagline ul {
  	height:86px; 
  	margin:0;
  	width: 336px;
  	text-align:center;
	background:#fff url(../images/topnav.gif) no-repeat right top;
  	}

and remove text-align:center; from that chunk. Voila! The real fix for this problem. I'll update the download in a bit.

Thanks for the fix. The template now works in all versions of IE and FF I tested.

Hi,

I'm wondering if someone can assist me...

I would like to have seperators between sideboxes on my site. I'm using the Simple_Zen theme.

I'd like either a 1 or 2px line or an image.

How and where in the CSS would I do this? I use both left and right sideboxes.

Thanks

Jeff

Could someone help me out?

1. How do I insert a separator between the side boxes?

2. How do I insert border for my navigation bar?

I welcome feedback and help in anyways to improve my site. Thanks!

Try this:
.sideBoxContent {
border-bottom: 2px;
}

For the sidebox separator:
Try this:
.sideBoxContent {
border-bottom: 2px;
}

for the navigation bar:
#navCatTabsWrapper {
border: 2px ;
}

One thing I would suggest is saving your logo as a .gif; it will be more crisp that way since it is only a two color image. It is a tad blurry as it is now.

Also, I'd add more colors to your site, vs. the grey and red. I included a purple header image, if you'd like to use that instead, open up includes/templates/simple_zen/css/stylesheet_new.css and change:

#navMainWrapper {
background: url(../images/gradient.gif) repeat-x;
margin-bottom:5px;
border-bottom:1px solid #333;
}

to:
#navMainWrapper {
background: url(../images/gradient_purple.gif) repeat-x;
margin-bottom:5px;
border-bottom:1px solid #333;
}
