Found it....I needed to copy the other php file (categories_ul_generator.php) in the error into the "other" includes folder! (Thanks for pointing me in right direction!)

Now...just need to figure out the titles (as in what's wrong with them!), and how to display 3 items across (in the same row) on each page...and I'll be ecstatic.

You're missing language files, and probably others.

I'll have a peek. Thx. I suspect you're correct...they're not in the correct places. It took a bit for me to get it this far...in that it's not the only template on the server, and I'm serious noob! lol

It does take a while to get used to the file layout... but you'll get there! I was a noob once too!

I think I've got 99% of it now...after digging and copying a lot! lol Question if you'd be so kind... The "About Us" page that links from the pull-down doesn't appear to be the same page that I defined in the define pages editor. Any idea how I might get it to read the page I defined?

And on an aside...I love the simple neat/clean look of your template, and appreciate your work on it. Oh damn...one more thing!!...the stripes that are still left on my site (in the top area border)...how would I change those out for solid please?

THANKS!!!!!

jettrue -- Thanks for the help! I have been working to try to find a solution to one of the problems in ie6. In ie6 if you hover over the header menu, but not over text, it won't highlight. Well, I have almost found a solution. I need your help to finish this! I changed my tpl_drop_menu file by removing the <li></li> for each drop-down option. Now, there is only one <li></li> for each drop-down. The only side effects appears to be removing the divider line between each option. And, they work in ie6!!!! :)

But..... I can't seem to figure out how to do this with the categories drop-down header menu. At first, I thought this was no problem, because these work when there is a subcategory in ie6. But, the subcategory menus do not work in ie6. Is there a way to change this so that it is like my other drop-down menus? I'm not sure if this is possible considering the fact that this menu uses subcategories, and the others do not. Thanks!

BTW -- You can see what this looks like at: http://www.birdingdepot.com/index.php

torrence -- To change the background stripes, you need to replace site-bg.gif, site-bg-blue.gif, or site-bg-grey.gif depending on which color you are currently using. They can be found in include/templates/apple_zen/images. If you want to have the background simply be one color, change this line in stylesheet.css:

body {

background:url(../images/site-bg.gif) 0 9em repeat-x;

/*remove this background image for narrow header, unless of course you want it there (green stripe background) */

}
to

body {

background:#ffffff;

/*remove this background image for narrow header, unless of course you want it there (green stripe background) */

}

Change #ffffff to whatever color you want. Enjoy! :)

srturner47 - Thanks! I actually "borrowed" your bg-custom gif...it looks much better graduated like that.

I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't get my contact page to load...not sure where the file should be read from, as it IS where I would think it should be! lol

I removed the About Us link entirely...got too tired of trying to figure out why it wouldn't load too. As jettrue suggested earlier, I'm sure it's a matter of my files not being in the right place, but it gets VERY tedious looking.

Here's one more noob question...I'd like the products to display 3 items across ALWAYS, like they do on my "feature" page...can someone please spare me the agony, and point me in the right direction to accomplish this?

Thanks!

[torrence]

Found and fixed the Contact Page link. (I'm beginning to feel like I'm giving a "play by play" here...lol)

So - only looking for 3 items across, display help now!

Thanks...sorry to dump all these id-10-t questions on ya'll.

Uh duh i found the settings for the add to cart. Thanks

In your screen shot, the Out of Stock image has replaced the Add to Cart button. You will have to add quantity to the item, or change your settings for the Add to Cart button to show.




It looks like you are missing the following file...

/home/torrence/public_html/store/includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Jade- i think you might be the only one who could figure this out- no one seems to post on an answer- i the apple zen temp on the events calendar for the heading on the side box the pull down menu is showing over the heading for Events calendar- any idea on whats going on- ive pasted a screen shot-
i cant seem to get this one fixed and ive posted in the "events calendar" threads.

I think you're missing more files for the about us page.

Make sure you've uploaded

includes/extra_datafiles/about_us_filenames.php
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/about_us.php
includes/modules/pages/about_us/header_php.php

To change the image to solid, you'll have to create a new image that is solid, and replace the striped one.
