Apple Zen Support Thread

[jettrue]

Im a new zenner- have been installing Apple Zen for 3 days.
I kept getting an error message with the drop down menu, where only 3 of the menu pulldowns were showing. In trying to solve the problems i deleted files and reinstalled files, still not able to fix it. Last night i deleted the template default folder and reinstalled. Afterwards my site was not loading at all.
I keep getting this message
Warning: main(DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATEtemplates/index_default.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATEtemplates/index_default.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear') in.

Is there something i can do without have to go thru reinstalling the whole thing all over again?

I have several templates installed successfully and categories and products, defined pages were all working in my admin panel.

The other question is where does all this info live when on the server?
Is there a folder specific that contains all the settings ive installed in the zen cart admin?

That's a really odd error, and I think you've mucked things up somehow. As far as I know, there is no file called templates/index_default.php, (there is a "tpl_index_default.php") and I have no idea where "DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATE" comes from, I have never seen that before in zen cart. There are portions of files that say "DIR_WS_TEMPLATE" but DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATE is completely foreign to me. Did you change something somewhere to DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATE??

All setting that you set in the admin are then stored in a database, not a folder.

If you happen to reinstall, if you get the same error you first received, STOP, and then come ask for advice before going to town with files.... You say you deleted the "templates" folder? Did you DELETE the entire templates folder, like you deleted includes/templates? If so, YEAH, that will totally mess up your site. REupload the entire templates folder from your original zen cart download. Please note that includes/templates is NOT THE SAME folder as includes/templates/apple_zen/templates. includes/templates/ contains the template_default folder, which has all of the template files required to control zen cart layout. If includes/templates/template_default/ is not present on the server, the site will tank.

Thanks for the reply: i fixed the prior problem had a missing folder in wrong destination. As to backing up the database is there a link to how to do this.
I would hate to go thru so much work and building the database to have it crash on me.

EZ PAGES in APPLE ZEN
Why does this seem so difficult to acheive. I have the files installed.
My ezpages are not showing up under the pull down menu, newsletter subscribe. I did install Jades file that she posted. I think im doing something incorrect in the ADMIN rather then missing file, but cant figure out what.
i set the settings as Jade posted. Under "Tools" EZ Pages ive created 3 test pages and have them set to show in "header" all with values greater then 0. I called them Ez Page Test 1 and 2. But they dont show up anywhere on the site.

DROP DOWN MENU
Under where in Admin do i set the values for how many stacks across i want on the pull down.

ADVANCE SEARCH
Warning:
I had this working with the form but now its gone. would i be missing the default temp tpl_advanced_search? main(includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_advanced_search_default.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

Jettrue, I spoke a little too quick. Everything fine in Firefox, but not getting a popup at all in ie6. I'm using v1.3.0.2. I reinstalled Image Handler again without an improvement. I also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling IH from the database. Is there a compatability problem with my zen cart version and ie6 in the apple zen template? It worked on other templates, so I can't think of any reason for the problem. I could try and remove all the IM files, and then reinstall, but I'd rather not if anyone knows of a compatability problem.

No, there should be nothing in the template stopping it. If you send a link, perhaps I can see what the issue might be.

I would contact your host about this.

Did you also go to "Cofiguration", "EzPages Settings" and turn the ezpages on for the header?

What do you mean by "stacks across"? Do you mean how many subcategories it goes through, or do you mean you want to remove one of the main drop downs? None of this would be done in the admin, either way.

Yeah, it looks like you're missing files still.
