Apple Zen Support Thread

[DezineJunkie]

Im a new zenner- have been installing Apple Zen for 3 days.
I kept getting an error message with the drop down menu, where only 3 of the menu pulldowns were showing. In trying to solve the problems i deleted files and reinstalled files, still not able to fix it. Last night i deleted the template default folder and reinstalled. Afterwards my site was not loading at all.
I keep getting this message
Warning: main(DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATEtemplates/index_default.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATEtemplates/index_default.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear') in.

Is there something i can do without have to go thru reinstalling the whole thing all over again?

I have several templates installed successfully and categories and products, defined pages were all working in my admin panel.

The other question is where does all this info live when on the server?
Is there a folder specific that contains all the settings ive installed in the zen cart admin?

That's a really odd error, and I think you've mucked things up somehow. As far as I know, there is no file called templates/index_default.php, (there is a "tpl_index_default.php") and I have no idea where "DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATE" comes from, I have never seen that before in zen cart. There are portions of files that say "DIR_WS_TEMPLATE" but DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATE is completely foreign to me. Did you change something somewhere to DIR_WS_INSTALL_TEMPLATE??

All setting that you set in the admin are then stored in a database, not a folder.

If you happen to reinstall, if you get the same error you first received, STOP, and then come ask for advice before going to town with files.... You say you deleted the "templates" folder? Did you DELETE the entire templates folder, like you deleted includes/templates? If so, YEAH, that will totally mess up your site. REupload the entire templates folder from your original zen cart download. Please note that includes/templates is NOT THE SAME folder as includes/templates/apple_zen/templates. includes/templates/ contains the template_default folder, which has all of the template files required to control zen cart layout. If includes/templates/template_default/ is not present on the server, the site will tank.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but...

Why is my image handler causing pictures to open up in the top left corner forcing the whole page down? Can't seem to find an answer in the forums. Image Handler seems to be working fine on the Apple Zen demo page...

You didn't upload all of the files for IH2. Be sure to upload the jscript/ file, and the css/ file that comes with IH2. If you've switched templates, you have to move those files into the apple_zen/ template folder.

Your right! I missed copying the neccessary files to my new custom template. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the reply: i fixed the prior problem had a missing folder in wrong destination. As to backing up the database is there a link to how to do this.
I would hate to go thru so much work and building the database to have it crash on me.

EZ PAGES in APPLE ZEN
Why does this seem so difficult to acheive. I have the files installed.
My ezpages are not showing up under the pull down menu, newsletter subscribe. I did install Jades file that she posted. I think im doing something incorrect in the ADMIN rather then missing file, but cant figure out what.
i set the settings as Jade posted. Under "Tools" EZ Pages ive created 3 test pages and have them set to show in "header" all with values greater then 0. I called them Ez Page Test 1 and 2. But they dont show up anywhere on the site.

DROP DOWN MENU
Under where in Admin do i set the values for how many stacks across i want on the pull down.

ADVANCE SEARCH
Warning:
I had this working with the form but now its gone. would i be missing the default temp tpl_advanced_search? main(includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_advanced_search_default.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

Jettrue, I spoke a little too quick. Everything fine in Firefox, but not getting a popup at all in ie6. I'm using v1.3.0.2. I reinstalled Image Handler again without an improvement. I also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling IH from the database. Is there a compatability problem with my zen cart version and ie6 in the apple zen template? It worked on other templates, so I can't think of any reason for the problem. I could try and remove all the IM files, and then reinstall, but I'd rather not if anyone knows of a compatability problem.

These are all questions that would work well in the general forum but here you go....

1. Your images look good to me... what exactly are you trying to do?

2. includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php don't forget to save it as includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php

3. Use the "Per Unit" shipping option under "Modules", "Shipping" in your admin. Set the Shipping per unit cost to 1. Now when you add a product, instead of putting the product weight in, put in the shipping cost in the weight box.

Yes, I would change the fact that you are not using any sideboxes, but you didn't make any changes in the css, so your content isn't showing correctly. Add this to your stylesheet:

#centerColumnWrapper2 {
background:#ffffff!important;
}

.centerColumn {
float:left!important;
width:95%!important;
}

1. I figured out the images thing on the general forums.

2. I did as you said but now there is a comma in front of what I want, and tried deleting it but it just results in an error.

// page title
define('TITLE', ' ');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'Veerman Exclusive - A Luxurious Online Expirience');

3. Perfect solution! Your answer made me smile because it is so simple!

4. Where do I add that

#centerColumnWrapper2 {
background:#ffffff!important;
}

.centerColumn {
float:left!important;
width:95%!important;
}[/QUOTE]

which file?

I actually like not having side boxes, big reason I chose this template, that and it is by far the best one in terms on looks.

5. I got a new problem, my logo now appears EnOrMoUs in internet explorer, any idea what would cause this?

is the logo and the pic it says it is, but it goes really huge.. I hate IE

I would contact your host about this.

Did you also go to "Cofiguration", "EzPages Settings" and turn the ezpages on for the header?

DROP DOWN MENU

What do you mean by "stacks across"? Do you mean how many subcategories it goes through, or do you mean you want to remove one of the main drop downs? None of this would be done in the admin, either way.

Yeah, it looks like you're missing files still.

No, there should be nothing in the template stopping it. If you send a link, perhaps I can see what the issue might be.
