Apple Zen Support Thread

[deBeaujeu]

I may have missed the thread covering this situation:
a Flash file displays properly in define_main_page.php but it covers a portion of the Apple Zen pull-down menu (when mouseover activates the menu).

http://aaadisplaygroup.net/index.php

I thought a proper z-index setting would solve the problem but I cannot get it work. Any one has a solution?

Thanks for your help,

Hello -

I am running Apple Zen Template and have made an error I have been unable to correct.

IN my INFORMATION drop down menu I am getting HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_ showing and I assume it should be reading about us. Also the link is bad and I am getting a page not found error.

Any help solving this would be appreciated.

Running 1.3.7

As described in the readme.txt, the About Us page is not in a standard install.

9. Add the "About Us" contribution to your site using this module: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_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>

However, you shouldn't be getting that HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_US issue, since HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_US is defined in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php

I have problem with the about_us page. I have installed the about_us mod but the alignment is off. On the top left of the page, there is the 'Shipping sample text'. How do I remove them?

That is a very odd issue, but if hllight's post just beneath yours also pertains to you:

This isn't a fix but rather a possible cause. I had a similar problem when I attempted to delete "Gift Certificate" and "Discount Coupons" from the drop down menu. I deleted the the associated instruction from the php file and instead of deleting them, I got a similar message. I replaced the file with the original and was back where I started with the Certificate and Coupon menu items.
This just happened yesterday and I decided to move on with more important modifications and wait till another day to remove the menu items. I don't have a solution yet. BUT I WILL and will let you know when I do. Probably not much help but I tried.

If you tried to remove "Gift Certificate" and "Discount Coupons" (or any sections) from includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_drop_menu.php, put it back to the original.

Then go to your admin, go to "Modules", "order total" and turn off the modules there, and those items will remove themselves.

Now, if you want to use "Gift Certificate" and "Discount Coupons", but just don't want them from the menu, be sure to remove ONLY the relevant code:

<?php if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_GV_STATUS == 'true') { ?><li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_FAQ, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_GV_FAQ; ?></a></li>
	  <?php } ?><?php if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_COUPON_STATUS == 'true') { ?><li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DISCOUNT_COUPON, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_DISCOUNT_COUPON; ?></a></li>
	  <?php } ?>

Its confusing because of the way I formatted the code, will fix that in my next release. But remember that the <?php } ?> comes after the section you're removing, not before.

See my above reply to dolzer. There was an error in the way you removed code.

Unfortunately, you can't z-index flash. But I did a search for z-index and flash on this forum, and found this idea (read the optimism section, LOL):

I am working on arranging my apple zen header and really hoping that I'm not going to have to go with nested tables. Can someone out there assist?

Right now I've got problems with the stuff on the right-hand side of the header getting bumped down below the line of the logo image. I've removed everything from the "tagline" div but I'd really like to be able to put another image there or the login header contrib.

Here's a link to my test site:

and a screenshot of how I would like it to line up:



Any advice would be great. Thanks!

All you need to do is reduce the width of #navMain. From my testing, 19em seems to be about right:

#navMain {
width:19em;
float: right;
text-align:right;
margin-right:0;
position:relative;
}

Hi Jettrue,

I'm back with more questions I'm afraid!
I'm wondering if you can tell me how I get the back and submit buttons to align on my contact page as they're a bit squiffy.

It's because of the margin on the INPUT tag. The send button is an "input" button, whereas the back button is just an image with a link.

so you can tell that specific input button not to have a top and bottom margin:


#contactUsDefault .buttonRow input {margin:0 .5em;}

Jettrue:
Thank you so much for the info on the use of the z-index and flash files.
You are a technical virtuoso of immense proportion.

The Apple Zen pull-down menu opens over the flash image as it should. It works just fine.
The secret is to make the flash object transparent with:
“<param value="transparent" name="wmode" / >”.
