Apple Zen is not guaranteed to be compatible with every other mod out there, so you may have to abandon Apple Zen. As far was the right to left, in includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css, you can change div#dropMenu ul.level8{top: 0; left: 12em; background:#4f4f4f} to div#dropMenu ul.level8{top: 0; left: -12em; background:#4f4f4f}

For the multi-site module, I'm sure there's some sort of modified functionality for the right category sidebox that causes it to filter. You'll need to find out what they did to make that work for that mod, and somehow apply that to includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php (there's a category query in there, since it hasn't been modified for your multi-site module, of course it will show all categories, that is what it is designed to do).

As far as the language issue, I've not dealt with two languages, so I'm not fully sure what your issue is. There are three language files with apple_zen:

==includes/languages/english/apple_zen/header.php
==includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php
==includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/order_steps_defines.php

So maybe you need to copy them and place them in your custom language folder after modifying them?

SORRY JETTRUE, BUT HOW DO I GET THE HEADER BOX FROM RIGHT TO LEFT TOO? SO? FROM RIGH FIRST HOME, then category, then information etc .
I added a "direction:rtl," to mainwrapper of stylsheet.css , doesn't work, also to headerwrapper, doesn't worked, any idea please.
thanks

No, you'll have to do that manually. Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and shift things around in the order you want them.

For example, this is the section for HOME:

<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a>
        <ul class="level2">
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_NEW_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ALL); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ALL_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SPECIALS; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SEARCH; ?></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>

Move that down to after this:

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
      <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>
        <ul class="level2">
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
<?php } else { ?>
      <li><a class="noLine" href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>

And keep moving things around.

hi
well this is what I get after just implementing header css flyout, I did changes in stylsheet.header_menu.css , and in order to get the menu bar goes to right as the site is right to left, I changed div#dropMenu li to float:right.

hi jettrue
again I come to ask you another question,
because I have too much category and in sideboxes is very horrible figure to get show them , I found in http://www.amazon.com/, above when your mouse goes over the " see all 41 product category", a window opens and if you don't select it will close automatically,
do you know what is the name of this script or the name of this action? or which are keywords to find something about it?
thanks

Hi!

Great template. :)

I have disabled the shopping cart as we only use Zen for it's catalog functions.

SHOPPING CART is still displayed in the horizontal menu. I have read a similar request in post# 53 and followed jettrue's instructions explaining how to remove CONTACT US (tpl_drop_menu.php) but haven't succeeded.

Your help would be much appreciated. :)

Change the -12em back to 12em, maybe? If I could see a real site, that would help me greatly.

I'm not really sure, however you may be able to do something similar (but without the fancy expanding and collapsing box) with a CSS popup. You can do a google for CSS popups and see a few examples. I used some here:

www.jmb.jadetrue.com (hover over "Our Newest Additions" and "Important Info".

You would remove this section:

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>
<ul class="level2">
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } else { ?>


from includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Mmm, I have, not exactly sure if that's exactly what I attempted before but followed your instructions and the Shopping Cart is still appearing in the horizontal menu. I have renamed the original file to keep it intact, tried over and over, refreshed, nothing. Same result now.

Here's what's left after I ''gutted'' the file.
