Apple Zen Support Thread

Hi symmo,

Go into your stylesheet and change colour of #headerWrapper to #000000.
Am not sure how to get rid of the nav bar at the top though. Interestingly, I'm wanting to move my search box up there. How did yours end up there?

search box switches on and off from admin> tools> layout boxes controller

Then set the sideboxes/search_header.php on

but I really want to get rid of the whole bar ??

I just went into the apple zen image folder and replaced the stripey image with a plain white one. See includes/templates/apple_zen/images/site-bg-green.gif

I guess you could also do it by going into the apple zen stylesheet and removing the instruction to use the image in the first place. In the stylesheet just change:-

body {
background:url(../images/site-bg.gif) 0 8.5em repeat-x;
}

LOL, yeah, that would be the preferred method.

Have you posted a link to your site yet? Please have a bit of patience, I would be happy to help you. Have you sorted out all the issues? Let me know which ones you're still having.

Great Template, but one minor question. Is there a way to change the grey box circled in this pic to another color?



I've tried looking and playing with different elements but can't find if it's in the CSS or if it's an image?

Look in the includes/templates/apple_zen/images folder. There's one named content_bg.gif. Open it with your favorite image editor, change the grey, and re-upload the image.

Thanks so much for that jettrue, but the client has now changed their mind about the layout!
What I now need to do is move the search box to the top right of the page in the same line as 'HOME' and 'LOGIN'. I need the search box right aligned and I need the search button replaced by a button of their own design.
I have no clue how to do this and need mickey mouse instructions!

That's how the template is designed by default. I explain this in the readme.txt (that no one reads, LOL)... Under Item 3.:

"3. Go to "Tools" then "Layout Boxes Controller"
and turn on the sideboxes you would like to use. This template is set to ONLY use the right sideboxes, whether or not you have left sideboxes turned on. All left sideboxes that happen to be "on" will show up on the right side, underneath any right sideboxes. It is impossible to have sideboxes on the left side of the page with this template. Be sure to turn on the tpl_search_header.php, by setting the "single column status" to on. This will put the search box on the top right of the site. "

And one more thing... How do I continue the shaded border all the way up to the top of the page?

Also in the readme.txt. Is this what you are trying to accomplish:

4. Due to popular demand, I have added a second Layout style for this Template, it is called the "Narrow Header" version. Here is a screenshot of what it should look like:

In order to use this, you need to open your stylesheet (includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet.css) and simply follow the instructions near the top of the page.

Add this to your css file:

#navMainWrapper {display:none;}
