Did I tell you how awesome you are? Thanks so much for your help. I never would've figured out what I did to my CSS without your help.

Still having an issue with the categories. I assumed it must have to do with my main page configuration, but I swear, I have every last thing in "Index Lising" turned off (set to zero). I recall seeing the "Categories - Always Show on Main Page" option in other installs of the cart I've done but it's not on this one. Is it possible to just alter some code on the back end somewhere? I really just want to start with a "blank slate" when I start putting general content on this page.

Thanks!

I mis-typed, go to "configuration", "Layout Settings", and find the "Categories - Always Show on Main Page".

Hi, i'm mostly new to the Zen Cart world and have been fiddling with templates a little and have come to like yours very much. The client also likes it very much.. but.. and please excuse me for asking what may be an unpardonable sin (and i have tried to search this thread re this question with little success) but.. is it possible to display the menu boxes on the left only rather than the right only? I am not entirely without a clue as far as CSS goes and can fiddle PHP a bit...

Would i be better off to just use another template thats got the left on and disable its right column?

Much appreciation

Craig

There's instructions for doing that in the readme file.

Howdy all!

Thanks Jade for such a master crafted template. Beautiful,...absolutely beautiful!

I have three questions...if I may.

1) The first one I feel very stupid in asking, but I have been looking and tried all the "normal" said fixes but to no avail...

Where is the "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution." Editing file? I do not even see an "index.php" file in the "incluedes/languages/english/apple_zen/" folder. Am I missing something. I've been searching the forums for 4 days now. So It's not like I didn't try to find the answer.

2) on my website...btw it's not live yet located at http://www.organicplanetonline.com/zencart/
how does one display the catagory pix horizontally instead of vertically?

3) Finally, in the right hand side boxes, the "Catagory drop-down" feature is squished. How do I unsquish it?

Ok thank's for the help, and the absolutly fab template. Oh and above all, your generous time and energy to help those not as good at these things.

Well it took a while...
But I figured out the answer to my own "stupid" question.

1) The first one I feel very stupid in asking, but I have been looking and tried all the "normal" said fixes but to no avail...

Where is the "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution." Editing file?

So It's not like I didn't try to find the answer.

I however still need assistance with questions 2 and 3.

Everybody and their gramma seems to make this mistake, LOL. You changed this:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {float:left;}

to this:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {text-align: center;}

If you only wanted the LOGO to change, you should seperate the logo out, so that you don't change 5 other things at the same time:

#logo {text-align:center;}

.centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {float:left;}

3) Finally, in the right hand side boxes, the "Catagory drop-down" feature is squished. How do I unsquish it?

Try adding this to your stylesheet:

.sideBoxContent select {margin:0; padding:0;width:150px;}
