Apple Zen Support Thread

[alexlunde]

Hi. I downloaded and installed this skin and it look really nice. However, in the demo page (http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com/), the six main sections at the top of the centre column are evenly spaced and take up all the width of the column. In my installation, and in lots of others I have seen on this thread there is a gap at the right hand side of the centre column with empty space. Can anyone suggest a way of correcting this and achieving the layout of the demo? Thanks.

im working on my website right now and im having one thing that i cannot change. and i need your help please.

I'm not really following what you are trying to do. I think we have a bit of a language barrier or something? You said "I'm trying to move all blocks to the left (where the gray is start)". You want the sideboxes on the left side? Or you want the main content to fill all the way to the right to meet the sideboxes??

I notice that you are using tables, and that is not default for the template. What version of zen cart are you using? When I look at your page source, I see sections like this:

<div id="indexDefaultMainContent" class="content"><p>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="465" border="0">

<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="465">
<div class="maindiv">

That 465 is what is making the center section smaller. That table needs to be removed.

Oh, I SEE, you're trying to use this template on what used to be a template monster template. If I were you, I would start fresh, get rid of ALL template monster files, and start over with apple zen. They've hacked the heck out of your zen cart code. Ask TM for your money back.

I think I may be starting to understand you now. So you want the content of the right sideboxes to be wider?

You can change
#navColumnTwo, #navColumnOne and give it this width: width:40&#37;;


And you can change
.centerColumn and give it this width: width:53%;

Why are you using all those tables in the home page? Now that the width is set via the css, you can get rid of all of those.

The "six main sections" are part of the drop down menu. I'm in the process of updating this template, and part of this update is equally spacing the items of the drop down menu, like the test site is. Anyway, to achieve this, follow the instructions here:
