Simple Zen Template - Support Thread

[jedbase]

Hi,

I am new to this, so I hope I am posting this correctly. I love the template, but so far I am having a problem getting the topnav.gif to show up at the top of the page. In the space this should be showing I am showing 'Get your Baseball Stuff here'. That was what I had keyed in as a test when I was working on the Classic template. I believe I have my override path right:

includes\templates\mysimplezen\english\simple_zen\english.php

When I look at english.php, I see where the links are, but in my FTP Client, where it says Header Sales Text Goes here, it is shaded gray, like it has been commented out. Any idea on how to go about getting the images at the top? Here is a link to the page:

Thanks in advance,
Eugene

Hi Eugene,

Ok, what are you using for this template. mysimplezen OR simple_zen?

Also, the defines for that header image is not in english.php, its in header.php.

The override path, if you have used simple_zen as the folder names, should be:

includes/languages/english/simple_zen/header.php

Here are the instructions on using this template with 1.3.7. The template still works fine without these updates, but 1.3.7 added the option where you can turn the breadcrumb links ON, OFF, or OFF on the home page only (so there's no "Home" link on the home page). I had set this template to AUTOMATICALLY turn off the breadcrumbs on the home page, these changes allow you to use the new functionality fully.

Open up includes/templates/simple_zen/common/tpl_main_page.php

1) ~ line 51, change this:

  $body_id = str_replace('_', '', $_GET['main_page']);

to this:

$body_id = ($this_is_main_page) ? 'indexHome' : str_replace('_', '', $_GET['main_page']);

2) ~ line 94, change this:

<!-- bof  breadcrumb -->
<?php if (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '1' && ($current_page!='index' || (int)$cPath>0 )) { ?>    <div id="navBreadCrumb"><?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!-- eof breadcrumb -->

to this:

<!-- bof  breadcrumb -->

<?php if (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '1' || (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '2' && !$this_is_main_page) ) { ?>

    <div id="navBreadCrumb"><?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR); ?></div>

<?php } ?>

<!-- eof breadcrumb -->

3) is actually not a change from 1.3.6 to 1.3.7, but it seems I left a chunk of code out:

~ line 109, find:

<?php
 /**
  * prepares and displays center column
  *
  */
 require($body_code); ?>

Right above that, add this:

<!-- bof upload alerts -->

<?php if ($messageStack->size('upload') > 0) echo $messageStack->output('upload'); ?>

<!-- eof upload alerts -->

That's it~

Hi Jade!

Thank for the wish list tweak, there is some other mod that jumps in the left sidebox too, (which escapes me now) but I will try that fix to it also, if it helps.

and thanks for the update to ZC 1.3.7!....You were already ahead of the game with the breadcrumb off on the home page!

Oh! There is a new button: "log off" in 1.3.7 can you provide a blank button and font info for making one of your fab buttons to go with SZ? As I also need a "delete" , "secure login" & "secure checkout" buttons...

Thanks Again!
