Okay I have tried to install this template which looks like it is going to be great. But when my page loads at first it looks great and then the page slides down any thoughts on this

Hello everyone,

I have chosen this slick design for my up and coming site. I will be asking questions every so often until I get this perfect, so please bare with me, lol.

1. How do I get the mainpage to not be linked to the first item I had posted?

3. How do I rename Categories something else and make it have no subcategories, such as Contact Us.

4. How do I delete 'Privacy Policy', 'Conditions of Use', and 'Gift Certificate FAQ' from the INFORMATION category menu?

5. I tried adding a picture for my first item, but it doesn't work? I choose the image on my machine with the button Browse, and then try to overwrite the no image, but I am missing something.


Thanks in advance on any help, it is appreciated.

2. How do I get rid of the header text where it says Veerman Exclusive?

3. Is it possible to take out 'Categories' completely?

4. How do I delete 'Privacy Policy', 'Conditions of Use', and 'Gift Certificate FAQ' from the INFORMATION category menu?

1. Add categories, add the products in them.

2.You don't want a logo? Or did you remove the header sales text already?

3.Do you only have a few products? You'll want to have categories anyway. If you only have a handful of products, give each product its own category, then when you click that "category" that product will show up, because if there is only one product in a category, it will show the product directly. If you don't want it to say categories in the drop down menu, open up includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php

and change it there.

4.See this post:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1265
Then turn it off in your admin:
configuration > define page status > conditions of use = 3

(set them to 3)

5. You're trying to upload a .gif or .jpg only, right?

1. Unsure how to add categories , I know how to add a product, I was looking at the same area to add a category but am unsure.

2. Took away text and added a temp logo, I got that covered. DONE!

3. Changed the definitions file and the headermenu file and changed categories to Collection. I now need to make it so Collection is like Contact Us, with no drop down menu. Collection has one with no actual ez pages with it, but it still has a black thing come down.

4. Thanks, really easy to take out the pages, fantastic! DONE!

5. Yep I want to upload http://veerman.ca/justin/images/lindt.jpg for my first test product.

1. You'll have to delete the product first, now that you've added a product, you won't be able to add a category. (product and categories can't be mixed on the same level)

2.great!

3.The collection drop down will be your category drop down still, but if you do like I said, and make the product name the category name, then add only the product, then the products will show in the drop down.

4. great!

5. Don't try to overwrite the no_picture.gif. Don't change anything for the image from the default zen cart settings. Just upload lindt.jpg, don't rename it as anything else, don't try to overwrite anything else. once an image is uploaded, the no_picture.gif will go away automagically.

1. Deleted product, added category, but now the category shows up on top of the main menu(I dont want it to). How do I get rid of that?

3. I fixed that problem a few hours ago by editing something somewhere.

5. I try to upload the picture, but nothing really happens? I just click browse and then select lindt.jpg from my computer and then click insert at the bottom..?

1. Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and change this:

            <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?></a>
              <?php

 // load the UL-generator class and produce the menu list dynamically from there
 require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php');
 $zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator;
 $menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('<li class="submenu">','<li class="submenu">',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace("</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n","</li>\n</ul>\n",$menulist);
 echo $menulist;
?>
            </li>

to this:

            <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?></a></li>

5. When you installed the template, did you follow all the instructions and change the permissions on your images folder (and all folders inside of it) to 777? If the answer is yes, I don't know why its not working for you, I'd ask in the general questions forum.
