Apple Zen Support Thread

[jettrue]

Hi, i'm new to the forum and just have a quick question, i wanted to add my EZ pages to the drop down menus, so follwed the instructions from a previous post but have incurred a slight problem, i now have two menue headers, one in the correct position and a new identical one at the top of the page.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Well, it looks like you added the menu twice to tpl_header.php.

Hi Jettrue

I couldn't manage to install Cherry-Zen so I went for Apple-Zen instead, all installed ok.

I am in the UK and I use VAT, but what I have noticed is in the shopping cart parts 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 don't show the word VAT in the columns, it shows the figures of what the VAT should be but not the word VAT to explain what the figures are.

Any Ideas? I have better together installed, but that shouldn't make any difference - should it?

Thanks,

Phil

PS You make great templates, I am so pleased with Apple!

If you switch to the default template, does the VAT title show up? HMMM, let me know.

Also, could the VAT title for some reason be a different color, so that you can't see it? View the source of the page, and see if the word "VAT" is where it should be.

Hmm, I've never heard of that issue before. What are you using to open the zip file?

Jettrue,

I've tried on another computer with Win-rar and all seems to be fine. i was previously trying with win-zip.

all sorted now, but thanks for coming back to us.

Hi Jet

I am using Windows XP, so I double click on the zip file and extract from there.

As for the VAT problem, I have switched to the default template and the problem is still there in the default template.

I have viewed the source of the checkout pages and the word VAT,Vat and vat is not found in the page - here is the text that I have cut from the source of the page.

<fieldset id="checkoutOrderTotals">
<legend id="checkoutPaymentHeadingTotal">Your Total</legend>
<div id="otsubtotal">
<div class="totalBox larger forward">&pound;7.19</div>
<div class="lineTitle larger forward">Sub-Total:</div>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<div id="otshipping">
<div class="totalBox larger forward">&pound;0.00</div>
<div class="lineTitle larger forward">Zone Rates (Shipping to GB):</div>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<div id="ottax">
<div class="totalBox larger forward">&pound;1.07</div>
<div class="lineTitle larger forward">:</div>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<div id="ottotal">
<div class="totalBox larger forward">&pound;7.19</div>

<div class="lineTitle larger forward">Total:</div>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</fieldset>

I can send you some account login information via PM if you want to log in and check it out for yourself, otherwise I will await your reply.

Thanks,

Phil

PS It is probably something simple - Lol!

Anyone know why I might be having this problem... When you are on the home page the Home, Login (top left) and all the category links are blue like a typical hyperlink. But when you navigate to a category or in most other areas of the store they show up as the grey/dark grey colors like I think they should, if you navigate back to home the text changes to blue again.

Love the template, have not had to do much tweaking!

Hi

You have some css code in your index page and this is overriding the css file. Remove this code and it should work properly.

Did you copy from a word document? That is probably why.

Thanks,

Phil

View the source of your home page, and you'll see the issue, you have a ton of unneccesary word document nasty stuff there, here's a small snippet (scroll down, its really long, LOL):

All of that, and all it says is "Welcome! Thank your for shopping at FishScraps.com!"

Get rid of all the upper section, and for the text, you could greatly simplify. Why not just type your text, inside paragraphs for line breaks:

<p>Text here</p>
<p>New paragraph here</p>
<p align="center">Centered text here</p>

Then for your orange text, you can do this
<span style="color:#ff6600;">Orange Text Here</span>

Stuff pasted from word always makes me cringe, LOL, and you don't want the content of your site swallowed up by all of that, that's what the search engine sees too!
