Apple Zen Support Thread

[FarmGrrl]

I love your template!! I've got it on a test site and I haven't modified it at all. I'm having a bit of trouble -- my main page is basically blank. I have only the main_page.tpl stuff from the Define Pages editor. I went in Configuration and told it to display stuff on the main page -- do I have to do something to your template to make it happen? The test site has stuff on the main page!! See http://three-elms.geekfarmlife.com/ for what I mean. Thanks a lot for your help!

how do I center the logo?
It seems to default to being align-left.

I love the 3D effect along the sides of the main page, is there any way to replicate this effect along the sides of the logo and the sides of the drop-down menu? I'm in the middle of customizing the page and would like to see the entire thing appear to hover as a whole.

also, the shadowAlpha_bot.png doesn't seem to look transparent on a dark background the way that shadowLeft.png and shadowRight.png do.



ps. where's your donation box? this template is well worth the support.

Hi There,

I see that issue... your site is the first I've seen with a darker background and I didn't realize the issue. Though I'm not quite sure yet of the solution.

Donations aren't required... however Paypal works on my apple zen site. Apple Zen

Hi There!

I've updated the template, and the new version should no longer have this issue with the bottom shadowAlpha_bot.png. The stylesheet.css is the only file you have to adjust to correct this issue. However, as will all of my template updates there are various tweaks in the css because I'm a perfectionist, and I always find things to adjust.

Also, this new update addresses one of the changes in the recent XSS Vulnerability fix for zen cart. Everyone should go to the link above and apply the rest of the fixes; my template only uses includes/templates/apple_zen/templates/tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php, and there are more files that need updates.

I've also made updates to includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php, so that if you have Discount Coupons Module turned off in your admin, it will no longer show up in the Information Drop Down Menu.

I need to come up with a solution for doing that, because a lot of people have requested that feature. Will do that when I have the moment.

Hi All!

I don't want to say I solved this, but I am well on my way. Of course, for our Company's site I did some trimming ... ;)

I worked in three main files: stylesheet.css, stylesheet_header_menu.css and apple_zen/common/tpl_main_page.php

The side shadows are achieved by layering two div and setting their background to the left or right shadow. I put these after the <contentMainWrapper> and set them to 71em. I then adjusted (through MUCH trial and error) the containing divs to either 100% or 70em. Adjusting padding to taste, etc.

Make your life easier and turn off the header until you get the main page working. Fixing the header is simple after that.

Also, if you want your footer to be enclosed this box, this is where you do it.

It was neither THAT simple or that hard. Take your time. Change one thing and test it.

One of the things I really love about apple_zen is it's zoom-in/zoom-out strength without breaking layout. The stretchy header is also cool for some site designs.

I am no CSS guru, so I don't know if there is a way to make a single template do both. At least not easily. Perhaps a second template with a different name for the enclosed header? Orange_Zen? Grape_Zen? LOL. I'm sure Jade will come up with something awesome!

Please take a look at my test site and tell me what you think ...
