Apple Zen Support Thread

[jettrue]

Hi, this is my first post here, firstly, I love this template, it works well for me.
I am fairly new to Zen and have spent the last 2 weeks learning how over-rides, css and php are glued together.

I do of course have a question, on my create account page, it works fine in Firefox and IE7, but in IE6 the form drops down below the sidebar when it is displayed. I have seen this issue on another Apple Zen site, but on other people's it seems to work OK.

My Create Account Page is here

Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ian

Excellent Jade thank you very much, I have moved the site to primary domain now at@

http://www.juliestoys.co.uk

I do seem to have a slight problem with the product listing row being quite fat.


And remove button to the left seem up and right of the quantity box, is this something I may have done to the php file in my messing session.

Again thx a bit closer now to adding actual products.

Can I see a working site or an image like before, I can't envision what you're describing.

Thanks, it's a school boy error! I started reading all the previous posts, but after about 2 hours I gave up, even though I have learned a huge amount. This is a really busy thread! I will search harder next time.

My create account page is working now.

Thanks again.

Hi Jade thx for the reply, I was unable to get a screenie of the issue, as the site took a turn for the worse.

Unknowingly I had lost the ability to edit categories in admin I was getting a php error all the time, I dont know what was causing and I have posted on the forums, but as yet not one reply to it, so forced to start from scratch im affraid.

I get you a pic soon.

Here we go jade, and again thx for your help.



I have to work backwards now, and edit css from scratch from this forum.

If you're talking about the height of each product row in the cart, that is because of two <br />'s after the quantity box.

You'll have to open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default and find this section:

<?php
if ($product['flagShowFixedQuantity']) {
echo $product['showFixedQuantityAmount'] . '<br /><span class="alert bold">' . $product['flagStockCheck'] . '</span><br /><br />' . $product['showMinUnits'];
} else {
echo $product['quantityField'] . '<br /><span class="alert bold">' . $product['flagStockCheck'] . '</span><br /><br />' . $product['showMinUnits'];
}
?>

and remove one or both of the <br />'s after the </span>. I'd do it in both places.

As far as the remove button, it looks fine to me?

Jade, I have to echo the compliments to this design. It's really, really nice.

Thank you for taking the time to make such a clean and well thought out template, and for helping everyone use it. I got mine running without any trouble at all. (Yay)

Here are a couple questions I didn't see anwsered yet.


1. How would I manipulate the CSS to make the site a fixed width, in pixels?

I'm using a flash header (rotating through various products), and I'd really like it to have it fill the whole top, without the width of the site being variable at all.

2. I added the flash header alright (in a header.php file) but the logo still shows up below the flash in IE. (But not in FireFox). (Basically, a big flash header with the logo beneath)

How would I kill this logo image the best? Or, would it work just as fine to make the logo.gif a 1px X 1px transparent gif?


Thank you very much, and again, your template has made the complete rebuild of my site worthwhile.

I think this will get you close...

change all 70em's to 820px
change all 71em's to 833px

If you want a different width, you'll have to play around with the centercolumn sections to get it to work and center nicely.... cause of the left and right shadows.

As for the logo, just remove that section from the header.php if you're not using it.

I figured that it might be something similar, but I didn't want to mess up the template.

Thanks again.

Hi

Thx again jade.

I am trying to edit the way boxes are displayed in center column main page, new featured and specials, as you can see I have entered a background colour to the boxes and also a border.

What I am trying to do is fix width and height, so its uniformed, with spaces between boxes, and also have a header like the main box has.

Also when I edit background colour of these boxes, so my side boxes colours change

Regards, thx in advance for any fixes
