Apple Zen Support Thread

Jade,

Found a bug, but not yours! If you look at the contact us page you will notice that the bottom field is not properly aligned for the Message area:

open tpl_contact_us_default.php and go to line 72 (or so) and look at the entry for "enquiry".

The <label> is missing it's class: class="inputLabel"

This will fix the offset of "Message:"

HOWEVER, I cannot seem to get the textarea to line up on the left correctly.

Any ideas? I have tried several things in the CSS to fix this by no success so far.

Also, it seems that zen_draw_textarea_field() does not respect the width parameter....?

Found it! In sytlesheet.css I had formated the TEXTAREA with different margins then INPUT.

Curious: do you know how to specify a specific TEXTAREA for formatting?

I have tried TEXTAREA.enquiry but it doesn't seem to work.... ???

Sorry, I didn't look at this one before I replied.

Try TEXTAREA#enquiry (i think its funny that "enquiry" is spelled "encorrectly") :-)

You could also target that specific page, like this:


#contactusBody TEXTAREA

#contactusBody TEXTAREA

Ah, this is what I was looking for!

I was using TEXTAREA.enquiry ... ;)

(enquiry appears to be a British variant)

Also, if you look closely at tpl_contact_us_default.php I think you'll agree the LABEL for message is missing class="inputLabel" ...

I also changed this to include a subject line. Strange that the base zencart doesn't do that by default.

Thanks again for the help!

Hi. I'm trying to make changes to includes/languages/english/apple_zen/header.php

but the apple_zen folder is missing in this location.

Is there a way to rectify this?

Sorry I replaced the folder/file from the apple zen download . I must have deleted/moved it by mistake.

I do however have another question.

I would like to remove the CREATE ACCOUNT (which I have renamed) tab from the header.

Just open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and remove it there.

This is a great template--thank you! I looked at all and this came closest to what i had in mind.

A few customization things i cannot figure out after trying many things:

1. How do I keep the page contents (as well as the footer) from sliding to the left when the window is re-sized by the user?
2. The "Home" link in bread crumbs and header is not linking correctly. How do i fix this?
3. How do I correct the text in lines 3,4 & 7 in the drop-down menu under "INFORMATION"?
4. How can I add a 3rd column to the main body, where my categories are listed?

Thanks in advance,
Alice

That's a fairly complicated setup you have there, and without taking too much time, I can just give you a few tips on your layout.

If you're sure you want to go with a non-fluid layout, that has to be forced to stay inside a certain section of background, you're going to have to do some absolute positioning.

I'd start by removing all instances of 70 or 71 em, I'd remove the margin-left on the headerwrappera.

I'd set a width on the body tag, that is no wider than your background image, I'd add a new div that wraps around your site, starting at your header, and ending at your footer (just inside mainWrapper), that you can give the style:

position:absolute;
left:150px;

You'll have to move the header background image to mainWrapper.

That's just the beginning, I'm sure there would be much more to it, but the above may steer you in the right direction.

2. I'm not sure what you mean by this, can you be more specific?

3. It looks like you added some extra pages to the site, but didn't add all the files necessary? You can use the about_us mod from the downloads section, which shows you all the files you need to add when adding extra pages.

4. That's not possible with this template (as stated in the readme.txt).
