Apple Zen Support Thread

Hi Jade,

First of all let me say that your template and the support has been awesome... I just spent 6 hours going through each of the posts ( each of the almost 950 posts ) and I learnt a lot! ... if theres any way I can contribute, I would love to ( anything involving graphics, video and audio!... I tend to stay away from the programming lol )

My main issue is the categories that show up on top of the drop down menus, I got a lot of categories and I would rather turn that feature off... your posts mention that I need to turn off Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF , but any changes there dont reflect the display of categories ( www.pavs.biz/showcase )... any other way to turn it off?

Other small issue was the gap below the logo... and any idea on how CENTER the categories to the middle horizontally? & to put icons next to categories in drop down menu, like small arrowheads. I am sure if I browse the forum I'll come up with solutions to these but I just cannot figure out how to turn off the categories ( I am sure it will be a small one-line change and then i'll feel really dumb lol )

Thanks again for the great work here Jade.

Cheers,

Nrupesh

EDIT : I SWEAR to god that I posted this reply before ALEX did...even the timestamp shows that I posted it earlier lol ( Maybe its coz I am posting from china? )

Hi How Delete a Categories from Header

If you mean you want to remove a specific category from the drop down menu, you can do that by following the instructions here:

Hi Jade,
My main issue is the categories that show up on top of the drop down menus, I got a lot of categories and I would rather turn that feature off... your posts mention that I need to turn off Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF , but any changes there dont reflect the display of categories ( www.pavs.biz/showcase )... any other way to turn it off?

That's the way to turn it off, and I just tested it, so there must be a problem with the code that tells it to check and see if its set to on or off. First, double check that its set to "0", and if so, then open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php
and make sure it looks like this:

<?php
/**
 * Module Template - categories_tabs
 *
 * Template stub used to display categories-tabs output
 *
 * @package templateSystem

 */

  include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_CATEGORIES_TABS));
?>
<?php if (CATEGORIES_TABS_STATUS == '1' && sizeof($links_list) >= 1) { ?>
<div id="navCatTabsWrapper">
<div id="navCatTabs">
<ul>
<?php for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($links_list); $i<$n; $i++) { ?>
  <li><?php echo $links_list[$i];?></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>

Other small issue was the gap below the logo...

That is the ezpages section. Make sure that is off in the admin:
"Configuration", "Ezpages Settings", "EZ-Pages Display Status - HeaderBar".

and any idea on how CENTER the categories to the middle horizontally?

Not sure what you mean by the above.

& to put icons next to categories in drop down menu, like small arrowheads.

If you open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css, there is a section for little arrowheads for items with submenus already, you just need to uncomment that section:

/*div#dropMenu li.submenu li.submenu {background: url(../images/submenu.gif) 95% 50% no-repeat;} */

Hope that helps!

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php? There is no file called tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php under that folder...I guess u meant some other folder.

I'll try for the other suggestions, thanks!

What I meant by "and any idea on how CENTER the categories to the middle horizontally?" was that right now the whole line is left aligned and that leaves a gap on the right side after the last section... I want even gaps on either side... I guess its just my viewpoint, I need everything perfectly aligned lol

Thanks again for the help Jade, I believe a great support like this has to be made worth the effort and if you are accepting contributions then do let me know, I am sure a lot of people on this thread would be more than happy to join in!

Nevermind... just realised that my host had some problem in setting up the zencart I guess, since when I edited the file with contents u gave me, it worked like a charm!! Thanks again for pointing me to right direction. Just got to figure out a way to center the bar under the logo.

Cheers

Has anyone successfuly installed a spanish pack and if so can you please tell me where you got the pack and any problems you encountered?
There seems to be very little discussion on the subject. Thanks in advance.

I have altered the title of the 'information' box to 'our world' and now want to change the order of the ezpages that appear in the drop down menu. I have set the order under heading in admin>tools>ezpages but still find that they appear in alphabetical order. I had a look at the FAQ that is mentioned in this thread, but that doesn't seem to apply to what I'm doing.

Hi again... Most of the issues sorted out and I got a few more tweaks done :)

Was wondering how I can get the shadows to the left of the sideboxes... something like http://www.ejpshop.com/shop/index.php ... couldnt figure out!

Thanks again

That is due to an error by me that i need to fix. Open up includes/modules/sideboxes/apple_zen/ezpages_drop_menu.php

Change line 23 from:

$page_query = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_EZPAGES . " where status_header = 1 order by sidebox_sort_order, pages_title");

to:

$page_query = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_EZPAGES . " where status_header = 1 order by header_sort_order, pages_title");

I incorrectly had the "sidebox_sort_order" instead of the "header_sort_order".
