Apple Zen Support Thread

[barleywine]

Hi again,

Been playing around a bit more, and tried changing this code in headermenu.php:

define('HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES','navbar_shop.gif'); 

And it seems like a step in the right direction, but now instead of the word "categories" in the display it has the filename for the image I want to use. Somewhere, in some file, I need to change something else, but I've done the developer search for HEADER_TITLE, and cant' find anything.

My deadline for this site is rapidly approaching, and if I can't accomplish this I really need to give the bad news to my client, but I've seen it done elsewhere, so I think it is possible...

Should I also post this in the thread for the menu? I searched there and no one has mentioned anything like this...but I didn't want to double post...

Thanks again!

1. You did not upload all the files for this template, go through each and every file in the download and make sure it is in the correct spot online.

2. You can do this in your admin, "configuration", EZpages Settings.

3. Admin, "Configuration", "Layout Settings", then toward the bottom "Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF"

4. Admin, "Define Pages Editor", "define_main_page.php"

You might have found 2-4 by searching the forum instead, they're pretty common questions.

Thanks a lot for your help. As for Q1, I did not upload all files. The big question is what files I should load (i use zen cart 1.3.8):

1. I did upload all in /Apple Zen 2.5/includes/templates to zencart/includes/templates, so after loading, /apple_zen will be in zencart/includes/templates. Is this enough? seems not?

2. I guess that I need to upload all in /Apple Zen 2.5/includes to zencart/includes. if so, i would mix some apple zen files with zen cart files. For example, files in /zencart/includes/extra_datafiles. is this right?

I read previous posts, some people had similar issues. you replied in #31. But I am not 100% sure. I guess the above 2 is what we should do. can you please confirm?

You must upload ALL of the files. Every single one.

Jade,

Thanks a lot for your timely help. my site is in a good shape now. I have only one question:

how do i change the menu font size?

The drop-dwon "CATEGORIES" runs out of page. I want to make those fonts small like radioshack.com, so all users can see all menu selections. I tried to reduce font size h1-h6 by .3, i did not see any changes.

I suspect sb may ask this before, but I can not find it. it is very difficult to search since i can not search 'menu font size' within apple zen support thread. Is there a better way to search?

Thanks, -Dale

No, h1-h3 wouldn't do anything, since the menu doesn't use h1-h3 at all. You can view the source of your site to see what that section DOES use (for example, you'll seen the menu is wrapped by <div id="dropMenu"></div> so then you can use:

#dropMenu {font-size:.9em;}

I am having an issue with the text editor. See this page http://dreamevent.com.au/index.php?main_page=index for what I mean. It obviously doesnt look like that when I am editing text. How do I fix it, it's driving me mad. And more importantly how do I keep it from happening again?

Thank you.

Hello :)

Im trying to change the name of the drop down menu 'CATEGORIES' to read 'SHOP' but cant for the life of my find it! Ive changed langauage files, but its not having any effect... maybe its just too late! LOL!

If anyone can point me in the direction of where I need to go to change this I would love some advice please :)

I think that you should use an external text editor instead of the zencart one. (you should use the override system and place the revised file in a folder with the name of your template)
You can first downolad the file (define_main_page.php in this case) with a free ftp client (filezilla is a good option) and then modify it with a free text editor (notepad is a good option).
Finally you upload the modified file with filezilla and you should have no problems.
Let me know if I can be of help.
