Hi, I'm very happy with this template, very easy to use, I have just a small problem that i dont have any idea how to solve. You can see here www.thebooktrunk.com

when you click on a product on the main page, the product info page goes down a bit, is not very important, but i would like to get some help about it.
Thanks a mill

Never mind, solved, it was a problem with the position of my rss link.

This is a great template--thank you! I looked at all and this came closest to what i had in mind.

A few customization things i cannot figure out after trying many things:

1. How do I keep the page contents (as well as the footer) from sliding to the left when the window is re-sized by the user?
2. The "Home" link in bread crumbs and header is not linking correctly. How do i fix this?
3. How do I correct the text in lines 3,4 & 7 in the drop-down menu under "INFORMATION"?
4. How can I add a 3rd column to the main body, where my categories are listed?

Thanks in advance,
Alice

I have a PositiveSSL certificate from Comodo installed on my site. I would like to know how to insert the PositiveSSL seal.gif on the bottom of my pages. I've uploaded the .gif to the images folder,
Thanks,

That's a fairly complicated setup you have there, and without taking too much time, I can just give you a few tips on your layout.

If you're sure you want to go with a non-fluid layout, that has to be forced to stay inside a certain section of background, you're going to have to do some absolute positioning.

I'd start by removing all instances of 70 or 71 em, I'd remove the margin-left on the headerwrappera.

I'd set a width on the body tag, that is no wider than your background image, I'd add a new div that wraps around your site, starting at your header, and ending at your footer (just inside mainWrapper), that you can give the style:

position:absolute;
left:150px;

You'll have to move the header background image to mainWrapper.

That's just the beginning, I'm sure there would be much more to it, but the above may steer you in the right direction.

2. I'm not sure what you mean by this, can you be more specific?

3. It looks like you added some extra pages to the site, but didn't add all the files necessary? You can use the about_us mod from the downloads section, which shows you all the files you need to add when adding extra pages.

4. That's not possible with this template (as stated in the readme.txt).

Jade, thanks so much for the speedy reply and for the detailed instructions.

1) I would like a fluid page, but I thought the header, site background, and footer images i created may not allow for that?
Is there something i can do to make a fluid page possible while still using my images for these three section?

2) When you click on the bread-crumbs "Home" as well as the "Home" next to the Log-In in the very top (sorry can't remember the div section name), it goes to the 403.html error page. I know it's cuz the URL ref is incorrect, but i don't know where to correct that. Does that make sense?

3) Yikes, i don't know anything about that! Those pages were in the template, which i really liked. Thanks, I'll look through the downloads as you suggested & see if i can figure it out.

4) Sorry, i didn't get that part. I thought i read that i just could not have a "right" sidebox column.
So the product listing is always limited to 2 columns? Sorry for asking; just need to clarify that you don't mean just the side-boxes.

1) I think it would be very complicated to use your images and be fluid.

2) I would ask this in the general forum

3) Well, the "Terms and Conditions", "About Us", and "Discount Coupons" is part of the template. You cant just change the filenames to what you want them to be just by changing the language file codes. For example, I guess you wanted it named "Terms and Conditions", so you changed

HEADER_TITLE_CONDITIONS_OF_USE

to

HEADER_TITLE_TERMS_AND_CONDITIONS

Instead, you need to open up includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php, and change:

define('HEADER_TITLE_CONDITIONS_OF_USE','Conditions of Use');

to

define('HEADER_TITLE_CONDITIONS_OF_USE','Terms and Conditions');

etc.

Otherwise, if you really want the different file names, you will need to use the about_us mod to see what files you need. AND you'll need the about_us mod, because as stated in the apple zen readme.txt, its not installed by default, and needs to be added if you want to use it.

4. You said you wanted a third column. I assumed that meant you want a left sidebox, a center and then a right sidebox. You can only have one sidebox with this template. If that's not what you mean, then I don't know what you mean.

Ok, thanks.

No, what i was asking was:

1. How can I add a 3rd column to the main body, where my categories are listed?

So what i was asking was can there be more than 2 columns in the center where the product listing is (not the sideboxes)? As in a table?

Thanks,
Alice
