Ah, I see the issue. When you tried to comment out this section, you did it incorrectly:

/*#logo {
width:19.1em /* To prevent the logo from resizing, simply delete or comment out this section */
}/*

/*#logo img {
width:100%;
}/*

Just go ahead and delete that section. Or, if you prefer it to be commented out, it will work like this:


/*#logo {
width:19.1em To prevent the logo from resizing, simply delete or comment out this section
}

#logo img {
width:100%;
}*/

Well, that did it! Wouldn't have thought that line of code would have messed the bottom up...oh, well! Glad you know what you're doing ;)

It's because of the way you wrote the comments.

To comment something out in css, it should be like this:


/*#hiddenStuff */

You had it like this:

/*#hiddenStuff /*

So, the hidden stuff was never actually closed correctly, so until it ran into another */ a whole chunk of stuff was hidden that shouldn't have been.

Aha, that makes so much sense :) I have a question for you: How would I go about adding the flash logo thingy from here: http://bridalweddingconcepts.com/ to the zencart I'm building for her here: http://www.modesty-matters.com/catalog/ I want to try to replace the logo pic with the flash logo she has on her old site. I have the template files, but I no nothing about flash. Can I get rid of the "Click here" thingy that doesn't work anyway?

I figure this might be an easy one for you...

Alright, I did some research and downloaded a contrib to display flash anywhere on the site. I went to tpl_header.php and took this code

<?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT, HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT) . '</a>'; ?>

with

<?php echo get_flashed('0883_1','578','125'); ?>

But it's not clickable to take me back to my homepage. Can you tell me how to make it do so? I have messed around with the code but can't get it right....

Those are both really easy fixes. The logo issue is also addressed in the readme.tx, but all you have to do is remove this section of the stylesheet:

#logo {
width:19.1em /* To prevent the logo from resizing, simply delete or comment out this section */
}

To have padding above the logo, just do this:

#logo {
padding-top:5px;
}

And to adjust where the blue stripey half background sits, you can adjust this:

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

(change the 9em to 8em)

To be honest Amy, I have no idea, I've never dealt with flash, mostly because I personally don't care for flash on sites, but perhaps a google search will help? Sorry!

Hi Amy

That button is built into the flash itself and that's almost certainly where you would need to make changes. Flash allows you to build whole user interfaces so a simple "click here" link is well within its capabilities, but it's a whole different way of working and not something that can be covered in a quick forum post here.

You could try placing a wrapping an HTML link around the banner, but then you would still have to give the flash banner a transparent background (see Adobe Technical notes 15523 and 14201) and adjust the z-indices to get the link on top. Even then, irritatingly, you're likely to find that although it will work fine in some browsers, in Internet Explorer visitors will need to double click - so not a great solution. Which brings us back to editing the Flash.

ok did that and the second issue is fixed with the blue lines in both IE and Firefox. but still having issues in IE7 with the logo going stretched and cannot figure out why. does any one know

Hi Jade - Originally I posted about this in Email - Newsletters. However, my problem doesn't seem to be ringing any bells with DrByte and Merlin. I wonder if it may be Apple Zen related?
Here's the original thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...936#post355936

I'll summarize my issue here: when placing a test order, I'm receiving an order confirmation email that only says:

Order Confirmation No: 3
$EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML

And an [EXTRA CC ORDER info] email that only says:

[EXTRA CC ORDER info] #3
$EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML

I re-uploaded all files in the /email folder

I re-uploaded /includes/functions/functions_email.php

I re-uploaded the includes/classes/ files

All other email functions seem to be normal and I do correctly receive the [NEW ORDER] Order Confirmation that details the order specifics.

My problem is in my PittiVintage site.

Any idea what might be going on?

As always, thanks for taking the time to look into these things for me, it is much appreciated. Tim
