Apple Zen Support Thread

Hi Everyone,

First of all i checked and could not find any similar problem so my apologies if I missed it. Now,I have a problem that I looked and can not find the answer. I want the ezpages to show on the drop down menu by themselves instead of within the information drop down and in their own sidebox instead of the information box.

I have separated the ezpages code in the drop down menu and now they show fine by themselves beside categories and information.

The problem is that now I get the links double in the ezpages sidebox and can not do anything about it. I do need to have a separate side box for the ezapges.

So how can I stop it from doubling up? Any ideas will be helpful.

Thanks

Tassos

PS. An absolutely excellent template, thank you

Hi there.
I'm sure this is simple...but I just can't find it! I'd like to change the color of the font that is in the header (I think it's the header...it's the VERY top of the page, by the 'search'). For whatever reason, the font seems black and I'd like to make it white, but I can't find this in the stylesheet.css file.

Also, where is the footer information in the css file? My footer is on the left and I'd sure like it centered.

Here is my test site:

Thanks everyone!!

I just noticed this issue: When you click to view the large image, the menu stays on top of the image rather than dimming and going behind. (Example: Click to enlarge)

In in stylesheet_lightbox.css, change the z-index of #overlay to 9000 as reccomended here but to no avail.

This cart is a Zen 1.3.6 and I am using the Zen Lightbox mod.

Thanks for whatever assistance anyone can give!

I believe I've worked this out: In stylesheet_lightbox.css I increased the z-index on the lightbox to 1000:

#lightbox {
left:0;
line-height:0;
position:absolute;
text-align:center;
top:40px;
width:100%;
z-index:1000;
}

Hi everyone,

I have looked and searched through the thread without success so I hope that someone may be able to help.


I am putting a new site together using this template (excellent work and thanks for it). Now I have had to modify few things and everything worked fine. The problem is the header in that I had to hardcode it because the site uses the mouseover effect.

Anyway it works great in IE and FF but not in Safari. It looks like there is a problem with the way that Safari handles the background layer in the header. You can see the site here:

Any ideas will be great.

Thanks

ok found the answer .So if anyone attempts something simular and has the same problem with Safari in tha tthe background layer in the header does not show correctly use the following code:

#logoWrapperOuter {
background:#800000 url(../images/yourimage.gif) repeat-x;
height:100%;
margin:0 0 0 0;
position:relative;
text-align:center;
z-index: 0;
padding: 10 0 0 0;
overflow: hidden;

It worked for me and it is an inherent problem that Safari has in that it handles some elements differently than IE and FF

Hi Everyone,

OK got new problem which is totally weird. Any help will be appreciated.

I have moved the Ezpages on the drop down menu to be by itself rather than part of the information box as it looks neater and it makes it easier when you have a lot of pages. That works fine and the links are shown properly.

The problem is that for some strange reason all the ezpages are showing up in the New Products Sidebox as well. I have tried but I can not figure it out why it is doing that.

The site is now on its own server here http://www.carmo.nl/store/index.php?...ex&language=en

Just look at the right hand column near the end. Any help will be great

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has attempted displaying two sideboxes on the right side using this template?

Most folks are viewing websites on wider screens these days and this would be a great way to get more sideboxes "above the fold"

thanks!

Question on Apple Zen...
Using ZC 1.3.8, newest AppleZen, working on Mac with Textmate. From the very beginning, the drop menu is sticking to the left side of the page, no matter what the width. I've tried every CSS position attribute with no success. I've looked at other stylesheets of AppleZen stores and there is no difference. I've gone thru the install, file by file with no success. I also have a demo store where the drop menu is correct, but the sidebox is not showing, which I'm not concerned about in this case (the sidebox that is). I have gone thru forums to no avail. Problem is the same on Safari, FF and IE7.0. Store is here, demo store is here.
Any ideas?

If the screen rez is above 1280 x 1024 then you can see 2 sideboxes above the fold, if you properly tighten up your top logo section... thing is, over 50% of rez are below vertical 1024:

You should probably optimize for 1024x768
