Apple Zen Support Thread

[northy]

Hi all.

I've recently taken over the role of administering and designing a web shop which is based on Zen Cart with a modified version of the apple template.

I'm currently getting into all the documentation (still got a long way ahead of me), but there are two things that I want to fix that I haven't been able to find any documentation about yet:

The web shop's URL is: http://www.cottermc.com.

1. When you click on categories -> Tyres -> 17", you see a huge list of different sizes. Is it possible to stop Zen Cart from automatically creating the sub menu's that come after 16", 17", etc.? So the user has to click on 16" and then goes into the category overview?

2. If you browse the web shop with IE6/7, the images for "Monthly specials" are shown on a single line each, whereas Firefox displays them in a row, the way they should be. Does anyone know what might cause this? I've tried changing the image sizes, checking the .css, but haven't found anything so far.

I'd greatly appreciate any help!

Best regards,
Northy

1. Yes, open up includes/classes/categories_ul_generator and change this zero:
$max level = 0

to another number, I think 3 is the level you need. Or maybe 4. Test it out and see what you need.

2. I'm not sure. Are you talking about the specials page? Does it happen here on my test site?

Thanks for your answer, I really appreciate it!

To answer your questions:

1. Perfect, spot on. Thank you very much

2. On the index page, if you look at the bottom (Monthly specials for this month), the items were listed on a line for themselves. This stopped happening after having more than 2 items in the special category, so it's working fine now, I'll just have to remember to have more than 2 items in there :)

Thanks again :)

Hi Jettrue

Firstly I just wanted to say that your template is great
You did an awesome job on it

I was just wondering if you can let me know how to change the font color for "Home, Log In/Out, My account" at the very top of the page?

I can manipulate the font under this heading in the ccs #navMainLinks {
But not the font color

I dont want the whole sites font changed
Just that one line

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance
Julie

Thanks for the compliment.

For example, to change the links:

#navMainLinks li a {color:#ffffff;}

When hovered over:

#navMainLinks li a:hover {color:#333333;}

Thank you so much, that worked perfect!

I looked through everything to work out which one to change
But I didnt even think about adding in a new section to cover it


Hope you dont mind if I ask one more question?
Is it possible to have the category page the same as the sub category page?

Example of a category page: http://www.everglen.com/shop/index.p...=index&cPath=1
Example of sub category page: http://www.everglen.com/shop/index.p...ndex&cPath=1_3


So the main category page would list the items in a single row and have its discription showing, just like the sub category list does

Even if you could point me in the direction of the two (or more) files that controll these settings, so that I can replicate from one to the other

Thanks
Julie
