Apple Zen Support Thread

[jettrue]

Hi - I love apple zen but erm I'm a real newbie, I'm not sure if my problems are template based or just erm idiot based but I was wondering if anyone could help?

Firstly the bar at the very top of the page - I can't change its colour?

Also I tried to add a new category, and it popped up in th nav bar. not in the drop down category menu, and I can't work out how to get it there?

Sorry if these questions are eye roll worthy lol

here's my site so you can see what a mess I've been making www.beautybybea.co.uk

Hi!

The top grey color is controlled by the color here, in the css:

#navMainWrapper

It also looks like you need to use the newest template version. I don't think that's what is causing your drop down menu issue, but it could be the part of the problem. Specifically you should make sure includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php is re-uploaded fresh, and includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php, but since you're early in the design process, i'd upload the newest version of this template.

I just tried adding the 'About Us' page following the readme and I must have done that wrong too I got (when I tried to do define pages edit)

Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions on: /home/beautyby/public_html/shop/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_about_us.php

You have to set the html_includes folder to 777 permissions, else you can't write to it. I should add that to my instructions! Though, this is in the zen cart install steps.

Save your logo over the old logo, in includes/templates/apple_zen/images

remove the header text in includes/languages/english/apple_zen/header.php

NO!

Go back to the language file, and LEAVE BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS alone. Simply change the word "Manufacturers" to "Designers". You NEVER change the name of the define, ONLY its value.

I have a few questions regarding the Drop Down Menu section...

I want to put next to the drop down menus links to the pages from the "Define Pages Editor" (the 'Page 2,' Page 3,' etc.). How is this done?

I also want to change the names of those menus (CATEGORIES to AVAILABLE for example).

I believe those are my only questions at this time. :)
