Simple Zen Template - Support Thread

[b16_madman]

I can't edit my previous post for some reason. Ok, I tried this method to remove the 3 icons in the header, by commenting it out using an additional CSS property. It's not working though in any of my browsers. I cleared their cache too.

You can see it here: http://lm.teestube-online.de

Anyone an idea what I have to do to remove the links?


Thanks and greats

Hi Christain

The links are part of the HTML generated by your common/tpl_header.php file. The CSS section that commented out styles these links, so all you have removed is the styling rather than the links themselves. To remove the liks you would need either to comment them out in the tpl_header.php file, or you could hide them by adding the following to your stylesheet
Quote:
#navMain {display:none}

I'd like to add this in case anyone needs to know: I was looking for the way to remove the icons in the header and their links. A friend with more knowledge said do this in the stylesheet for the template:
#tagline {display:none;}

this guy just removes the top bar login things:
#navMain {display:none}

I upgraded from Simple Zen 1.8 to 2.0 today. It looks fantastic! So much cleaner and tighter.

However, I have some display issues, which I have spent today trying to figure out, but can't seem to track down:

in all browsers:

1. a small "s" in the lower left hand corner - appeared when I added:

#navMainWrapper {
    background: url(../images/gradient.gif) repeat-x;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #fff;
    width: 100%;
    font-size:1em;
    border-bottom:1px solid #333;
    height:34px;
    } 

2. the search sidebox is now attached to the shopping cart sidebox (I have pages with just the shopping cart sidebox-now both appear)

in IE6:

3. The top header has the lower halves of letters missing: the "g" in log in and the "p"'s in shopping.

in Safari:

4. shipping insurance box is out of alignment (in check out)

------------
On going issues before the upgrade:

in Safari:

1. My account bullet points running into the sideboxes
2. My wish list bullet points running into the sideboxes (still exists even with this code added)

<div class="centerColumn" id="un"> <!-- begin (un) id for styling --> 

3. In category sidebox: large gap under last category before Specials Link (could be BetterCategories mod-not sure)

in IE6

4. My wish list bullet points running into the sideboxes (did not exist pre-up grade)

in FF:

5. I deleted some category headings ie: "Search" from the english file. In FF an Empty Space remains there (might have to live with this one?)

----
And a FF warnings which I don't know if important, or not:


Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'font'. Declaration dropped.

LOL, I'm trying to imagine a scenario where that chunk of css could cause an s, and it's not working out for me. When I view your source i see the letter "s" just after this section:

<!--bof-navigation display -->
<div id="navSuppWrapper">s

Check your common/tpl_footer.php file, you may have accidentally added a "s" in there.

2. the search sidebox is now attached to the shopping cart sidebox (I have pages with just the shopping cart sidebox-now both appear)

I'm not sure what you mean by the above. Attached?

in IE6:

3. The top header has the lower halves of letters missing: the "g" in log in and the "p"'s in shopping.

Try changing the following section to this:

#navMain ul {
padding-top:.5em;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
line-height: 2em;
}

in Safari:

4. shipping insurance box is out of alignment (in check out)

I think I see what you mean, but I don't see that as an alignment problem, the selection button is just below the text.

remove the top padding from here:
HR {
height: 1px;
margin-top: 0.5em
border: none;
border-bottom: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
}

#searchHeading {height:0}

You can ignore that, its not important.... however there is a way to stop it... I can't recall exactly what the issue with that was, I either addressed it with this template or another, I'll post when I remember where that can be adjusted. ;-)

Try removing:

from #navSuppWrapper

I am a SHE btw :)

I am still not getting anywhere with changing the horrid gray background...although not for lack of trying...

I want to add a simple faintly dotted background tile to replace the gray on the outer side of main box..if this makes sense..not the background of the main site area...

Here is my current code in the body:

body {
margin: 0 auto;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 78.5%;
background: url("../images/bluedots.jpg");
padding-top:25px;
}

What is wrong here...? Still seeing gray....

Thanks,

Thanks for the compliment. Anyway, I guess you figured it out, because when I go to your site, I don't see "horrid" gray, I see polkadots.

I finally did get it - no idea what was different this time but obviously something was wrong with my css...now I can do it I can find a background image I like to match colours!

Can you still tell me why I can no long see the tail of the "G" in LOG IN at the top of the screen???

Or how about where to change the hover effects to a HIGHLIGHT on the leftside categories menus...or make them into a bullet list as others have done rather than the current line setup??? :)

Wow - fixed the MISSING G myself...still curious about where to change the hover effects to a HIGHLIGHT on the leftside categories menus...or make them into a bullet list as others have done rather than the current line setup??? :)

Or how about removing righthand colum altogether as my prodcuts seem cramped as they are now in the small center column...Like in the sample of the layout you show in your main inttro (it shows a large left column and smaller category right column..but only 2 not 3 as I have now).

I DO loooooove the template and ZenCart BTW...just really not an easy thing for a die-hard HTML coder to wrap their mind around this CSS stuff... COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!!!
