Apple Zen Support Thread

Dear Jade,

Thank you for this template!

I am just working on it to come out with a new website:
www.kopaldiamonds.com/shop

I would like to work on the header next to the logo.gif.
Can I put extra pictures, text, animated gif or flash, there?

In advance thank you for your help.

Pascal.

Sure, the great thing about zen cart is that you can do pretty much anything you want. Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php, and you can start there. If you want to replace the tagline, you can replace that with something else.

Hi Jade

I'm almost finishing the changes to your fantastic template and I want to thank you once again for the work you done.

Please, take a look at it:

<a href='http://www.cigarpremium.com'>www.cigarpremium.com</a>

I think its stylish and modern-looking but... may be a little dead (I dont know the word in english for this but I think you will understand what I mean...)

I think that a nice picture of a cigar or a tobacco field could help. Is there a way to place one in the main page text area, where is the "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen..."?

Thanks in advance

Guilherme

Yes, that is addressed in the newest template, and within a few pages back I've explained how to do it. My internet connection is iffy right now at the new house, so I can't go search for it for you, but don't forget you can search within the thread if you need. You can also download the newest version, and simply find the change within includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Hope your move went well and your getting settled in! I would die if I had to use dial-up again (my first modem was 2400 baud! back in the days of BBS's).

I found the post and made the correction. Thank you. Sorry I missed it first time around.

Hi There,

Sure you can add an image, what I would do is first upload the image to your server, in your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/ folder, then go to your admin, under "Tools", "define pages editor" and choose "tpl_main_page.php", and add the image there, like this:

<img src="images/name_of_image.jpg" alt="alt text here" width="120" height="120" />

Hello Jade,

I still can not had a image to background header, but only can change the color with the CSS.

In the default classic template I just replace the "header_bg.jpg" and in the CSS I change the code to:

#logoWrapper {
width:760px;
height:110px;
background-image:url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}


This is indicate in treat: "https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=124" How do I change the Header Image.

In advance, thanks for your help.

Jade, I just had the oddest thing happen! I decided to turn on the shopping cart sidebox to make it easier for customers to see how much they are spending as they go along, and when I turned it on, all of my pages subsequent to that had their displays put into the bottom of my sideboxes, making it impossible to shop any further. I have turned it off for now but could turn it back on for you to let you see what's going on if you say the word.

Nevermind! Just updated shopping cart with image mod and all is now well :)

I'd change #logoWrapperOuter to this:

#logoWrapperOuter {
margin:0 auto;
width:70em;
overflow:hidden;
padding-left:15px;
}

And then I'd change the padding-right for tagline:

padding-right:30px;

And then this is totally unrelated, but I'd maybe take out that last comma in your tagline:

Specializing in professional horse graphics, logos designs, and clip art, for your horse business.

Dear Jade, I made the changes to the CSS like you said but still having the tagline cut off. So I messed with the CSS again myself but still cannot get it right. I used the Ardvark tool in Firefox and can see that the tagline div is too wide; see attached image.
#tagline {
font-size:1em;
line-height:1.5em;
margin:0 auto;
width:70em;
color:#6DA378;
font-weight:bold;
}
This is my coding for now, but it is not right. Thank you for all your help.

remove width:70em; in the section above, and change margin:0 auto; to margin-right:30px;

Why would you replace it in the classic template, when you use the apple_zen template? You need to upload the image to includes/templates/apple_zen/images

it's not there, because when I go to:
http://kopaldiamonds.com/shop/includ.../header_bg.jpg

I get a 404 not found.
