Apple Zen Support Thread

Hi Again!
So I needed to move my site to a new server, and I figured I would upgrade to 1.3.8 while I was at it. I got everything moved over, except I have one small CSS problem which I can't seem to fix. Maybe another pair of eyes can see what i am missing. My logo is small, and my footer is pushed to the left:

http://67.210.99.216/holidaytoyexpress/

and it should look like this:

www.holidaytoyexpress.com

Any help would be appreciated and allow me to get some sleep!

Remove all those extra stylesheets from your server from includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/. Only have ONE main stylesheet uploaded. They will all try to enforce themselves if they are online.

Thanks! That explains a lot of things. I just assumed that if I renamed them, rather than replace them, I could save them in case I needed to back up a step. I learn a little every day!

hello and thank you for such a wonderful template. i have my headermenu.php file in the following location: includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php. however, when i edited the file, my menu/submenu names are not changing. for example, i changed define('HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US','Contact Us'); to define('HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US','contact us'); but the menu heading is still showing Contact Us (in sentence case). I've checked and re-checked the english.php file but I have not found the problem yet. are these defined somewhere other than headermenu.php and english.php? my store (that i'm still working on) is at www.alethiaonline.com/store. thanks.

Hi,

I'm using the blue colored template. I just recently decided to switch from right side-boxes, to left side-boxes. Moved them over no problem, but I see that there is a light blue graphic remaining behind where the column used to be. Can you tell me how to move it over to the left side, so it can be under the boxes, like it used to be on the right side please?

Thanks.

OOH, love the site! Very cute!

OK, all you have to do is change the "none" of the chunk below that is found in stylesheet_header_menu.css to "lowercase":

div#dropMenu li a {display: block; padding: .6em 0;text-decoration: none; text-transform:none/*edited uppercase*/

Also, as a side note, I notice that you have two main stylesheets online, stylesheet.css and stylesheet1.css, remember that if a stylesheet is uploaded, it will try to exert itself, so you should only have ONE uploaded at a time.

Did you do this portion of the instructions on moving the sideboxes to the left?

change:

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg.gif) repeat-y 80% 0;
}

to:

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg2.gif) repeat-y 20% 0;

Thanks Jade. That did it. I also found where I needed to edit for the submenu. Question about moving sideboxes to the left side. I followed your instructions

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg.gif) repeat-y 80% 0;
}

to:

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg2.gif) repeat-y 20% 0;

Also change:

.centerColumn {
	width:75%;
	float:left;
	margin:0 2% 2% 3%;
	text-align:left;
	line-height:1.6em;
	display:inline; /* fixes IE Bug in IE6 and earlier - do not remove */
	}

to:

.centerColumn {
	width:75%;
	float:right;
	margin:0 2% 2% 3%;
	text-align:left;
	line-height:1.6em;
	display:inline; /* fixes IE Bug in IE6 and earlier - do not remove */
	}

but it didn't work. do i need to change any settings in the layout boxes controller to make this work? oh yes, i also removed the extra stylesheet. i did that while i was troubleshooting to see where the information was coming from. thanks.

p.s. i'm glad you like the site. it's for a new line i'm launching.

I'm all set. I went back through the code more carefully and it worked perfectly. Thanks again for such a great template.

P.S. If you want to be notified when the store goes online, just send me your email address via private message and if you're interested I'll give you a special discount as my way of saying thank you.

Thanks...sorry about that!!!
