Hi Jade

I have nearly finished modifying the template and have loved using it!

However there is just a few things left to do... Could you please help?

Q. How do I Create an 'About Us' page?

Also, can you provide any additional info. on 'favicon's' - I have tried to add one to my site but it only displays on the secure section or in the admin!

My front page center only shows at the top, the center bottom is blocked out. Any ideas what the problem is, I am posting in this thread because it was fine until I switched to Apple_zen. I love it though and don't want to switch back.
Thanks for your help!

From the readme.txt file:

8. *Optional* Add the "About Us" contribution to your site using this module: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=182 OR, remove this section from includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_US; ?></a></li>

I don't deal with them too much, but have you tried googling it? I know it needs to be a .ico file created with a specialized program, and it needs to be linked in the HTML of the site. Also, have you tried searching in this forum?

The site looks fine, except there's not much on the home page. What would you like to show there?

It also looks like you have un-needed HTML in your center content section,

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <span style="font-size: 24pt; color: #e4006c; font-family: Monotype Corsiva">Mommy and
        Baby Essentials<br />

        <br />
        We know both pregnancy and baby are true blessings!</span>

</body>
</html>

Go to "Tools", "Define Pages Editor", choose define_main_page.php and make sure only:
Mommy and
Baby Essentials 

 
We know both pregnancy and baby are true blessings!

is there.

Hi All!

I don't want to say I solved this, but I am well on my way. Of course, for our Company's site I did some trimming ... ;)

I worked in three main files: stylesheet.css, stylesheet_header_menu.css and apple_zen/common/tpl_main_page.php

The side shadows are achieved by layering two div and setting their background to the left or right shadow. I put these after the <contentMainWrapper> and set them to 71em. I then adjusted (through MUCH trial and error) the containing divs to either 100% or 70em. Adjusting padding to taste, etc.

Make your life easier and turn off the header until you get the main page working. Fixing the header is simple after that.

Also, if you want your footer to be enclosed this box, this is where you do it.

It was neither THAT simple or that hard. Take your time. Change one thing and test it.

One of the things I really love about apple_zen is it's zoom-in/zoom-out strength without breaking layout. The stretchy header is also cool for some site designs.

I am no CSS guru, so I don't know if there is a way to make a single template do both. At least not easily. Perhaps a second template with a different name for the enclosed header? Orange_Zen? Grape_Zen? LOL. I'm sure Jade will come up with something awesome!

Please take a look at my test site and tell me what you think ...

I turned off the setting which, if I understand it correctly, should have made the links to the Discount Coupons and the Conditions of Use pages disappear from the main dropdown menu, but they both seem to persist.

Any suggestions?
