Apple Zen Support Thread

hmmm, this is strange...my latest version of stylesheet.css appears to be showing the amended changes with clear:both;

I have also removed the <div id="centerColumnOuter"></div> - has this registered? It still doesn't appear to be working.

Also, I'm not sure if this is related but it is another matter that I need some help with, when I enter the site I get the following error message

"access is denied to includes/csshover.htc

do you want to continue running scripts"

I am using internet explorer

Thanks for all your help so far

I see the changes now, thanks...

I don't really think this will help, but to make your site match my site, can you go into your admin, then go to "configuration", then "layout settings" and change "define breadcrumb status" to "2" (you are using 1.3.7, right?)

As for css hover, the permissions on that file should be 644... that may be the issue.

Two questions: Concerning the main text area: Could you tell me how to change the background color of this area?

Second: Is it possible to have an image where the center navagation bar is? (but still have the nav bar function)
Here's what I have so far, but it doesn't seem to have any effect:

#navEZPagesTop {
	background:#FFDFFF; url(../images/Lipstick.gif) repeat-y; 
	}

Thanks.

Hi there,

It seems you're currently having a symptom of an error I made on common/tpl_main_page.php. (we're talking about the pitti vintage site, right? Please post the link to the site in question whenever you post, thanks!)

Before we address the issues above, you'll need to replace includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_main_page.php. I've attached the file as a txt file. I've updated Apple Zen with these changes (1.5).

Then you'll need to make these changes in your css.

Change:

#navColumnTwo, #navColumnOne {
	float:right;
	position:relative;
	}

to:

#navColumnTwo, #navColumnOne {
	float:right;
	position:relative;
	width:20%;
	}

You can remove this section:

.columnRight, .columnLeft {
	width:20%;
	float:right;
	}

duxfield, I'll PM you, but you'll need the same changes.

OK, for the questions you just asked... background color of the "main text area"... I think you're talking about the portion that is white behind the products, then grey behind the right column? That is controlled by an image. If you'd like the white and grey all to be the same color, then you can change this:
#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg.gif) repeat-y 80% 0;
}

to:
#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:#000000;
}

BUT if you want to keep the grey, and just have the white different, you'll need to open up the includes/templates/apple_zen/images/content_bg.gif with an image program, and change the white to the color you would like.

The center navigation bar... are you talking about the blue bar with your categories? That is not #navEZPagesTop, that is #navCatTabs.

(Please see screenshot)

1. How do I remove the "padding" below the logo and the navigation?

2. How do I make the background go all the way to the bottom of the page. Right now I just use: filterrogidXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#ff2400', startColorstr='#ffd800', gradientType='0'); for the gradient. I know that's not the best way to do the gradient, so any suggestions I welcome very much.

Hi Jade - Sorry but I don't see the attatched txt file... I went to downloads to get the tpl_main_page.php from version 1.5 but only 1.4 is available.

Oops, sorry! Here you go:

Hmmm... As you can see from this link, the alignment is all screwed up after I replaced the tpl_main_page.php:

I am not sure what was the best way to convert that txt file to a php, however. I could have messed it up in transit. Basically all I did was copy the new text you provided, opened up tpl_main_page.php in my text editor, (Arachnophilia) selected all the text and then pasted the new text in it's place.

You did that part right, but didn't make the css changes I mentioned in the original thread.

Oppsss... I knew I forgot something!!

Jade - Originally I had posted this question in the Zen forum under General questions to try and give you a break but I've been directed back to you.
Sorry, I just can't seem to give you a break.

If possible, I would like to hide the sideboxes on the main page only. To this end I placed the following code into tpl_main_page.php:

  if ($this_is_home_page == true) {
    $flag_disable_left = true;
    $flag_disable_right = true;
  }

It works, as the sideboxes are hidden on that page. However, the items on that page are all pulled to the right. It sounds as though this may be an Apple Zen conflict. Is there any way to achieve this desired result in Apple Zen?

Thanks again,

Tim
