Apple Zen Support Thread

[SPH]

Did a fix by taking out the Contact Us tab in the top menu, and the menu is now stable in IE6-9 per my online screen shot link. Shopping Cart tab no longer wraps under Home in IE 6 & 7.

I put Contact Us in the Customer Service (Information) drop down via an ezpage link.

We also have a custom footer menu with everything; redundant but looks nice & professional...I think.

So looks like we're with AppleZen, as we wish to be for various reasons.

PS: Since I'm not 100% certain about the drop-down menu, I'm keeping the manufacturers (designers) sidebox for now as an alternative for customers. Also looking at the Category Select Drop Down which is similar, but I'm not sure if as stable as zencart's built-in manufacturers sidebox.

Need a drop-down/fly-out for SEO (subcats open for search engines) and tidying up categories via subcats.

Okay, I found out what original problem was with Shopping Cart wrapping under Home in IE6&7 (which google anaylitics say alot of our customers still use.)

When I widened the site via the stylesheet css, I also widened the style sheet header menu css. Mistake. I reset the style sheet header menu css back to original 70em and now everything is fine, per my online screen shot tester.

So, can widen the site somewhat with stylesheet, but don't widen the style sheet header menu css.

So now I don't have to take out any nav items, and put Contact Us back.

Found this out by testing the new zencart 1.5.0 and uploading AppleZen on a test site and began trouble shooting with original AppleZen.

In case anyone wishes to know.

Thanks for your time.....
I need to change the links in the first drop down menu on the left...
new products and reviews.
I have to change both the name of the link and the URL that is called with a new hard coded one,
I think that it should be done in the headermenu.php file by changing the definition but than I do not know what to do in the tpl_drop_menu.php....

Can you help me?

In the ones I have made adjustments to I have not needed to use the the other files I just placed the direct link to the item then changed the name to what we needed it to be.

without a link we have no way to actually see what you are talking about so that is the guess you get

Thanks Dark Angel,
this is the link: http://store.ornellosport.com/ and I'm talking about the drop down menu on the left "online store".
I have to change the dropdown links "nuovi prodotti" e "recensioni".
I think that changing "nuovi prodotti" to what I need can be done in the headermenu.php file.
The problem is changing the currrent http://store.ornellosport.com/index....e=products_new to the url that I need.

Thanks for your hints

well remember to also work off a duplicate file and save the original one in case it gets messed up. sometimes placing a ~ at the end after the word php (.php~) will save the original online---sometimes it confuses the software.

ok, now as I said I did not change anything else and since you are also changing the link then it can probably be done the same way...but be careful for it does put up a fight at times...lol

iIn the following code (just an example for you to see) replace the red area with your link, the replace the blue with the name you want to call it---can be done for both places:

for new products (nuovi proditti):

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_NEW_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>

so it will look somewhat like this:

<li><a href="place_url_here">new name here</a></li>

do the same for the recensioni too

that gives you the new link you want (red) and the new name too (blue)

hope i did not confuse you--I am very good at that

I am just wondering if anyone knows the font used for the included logo at the top of the page for the Apple Zen theme...and whether or not it is free or purchaseable? I really like this font and would like to use it if I can!
