Apple Zen Support Thread

I am using version Apple Zen Template v2.4 and Zen Cart 1.3.8

I would create those two pages in EZPAGES instead. Then if you follow the instructions, they will show up automatically.

Thank you for your response Jettrue! I will see what I can do....

Did you update from an earlier version of apple zen? Cause I thought that issue was fixed with my latest version, and it included some significant changes to the stylesheets. If you did not apply all of the stylesheet changes, that could be the issue. Could I see a link to your site?

I really like this template, thank you.

I have a question, I would like to add another column to the drop down menu called Links. How would I do that? I am a real newb to zen cart so pardon my ignorance.

Thanks

Well, that would take some doing. :-)

You could add the links manually in includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php, something like this:

<li class="submenu">Links
<ul class="level2">
<li><a href="sub_link_here.htm">Sub Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="sub_link2_here.htm">Sub Link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="sub_link3_here.htm">Sub Link 3</a></li>
<li><a href="sub_link4_here.htm">Sub Link 4</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

The site is on our development server - http://74.52.92.130/~jwebmark/

It is not an upgrade, but we did modify the CSS to accomodate the site colors.

Does the same thing happen at my test site, http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com

Hello Jade,
http://ZEN-CART_URL/index.php?main_page=specials
(The problem occurs, when no product is marked as special.)

http://ZEN-CART_URL/?p=1
(the single post view page of the Wordpress mod.)

When there is no special product, the side boxes which are supposed to in the right column move to the left (FF2 & IE6). Also when I view the single post page of the Wordpress mod, the side boxes move to the bottom-left corner under the blog comment section (IE6).

My site is powered by Zen Cart version 1.3.0.2 and Apple Zen template version 2.3.

Thanks for your attention

Hi,

I have figured out how to fix the problem occurred with WordPress on Zen Cart.
What I did is add

.widecolumn { width: 95%; }

to /WordPress path/wp-content/themes/default/style.css.

That was so easy.

I will disable the dropdown "special" link under "home" when no product is marked as special.

Thank you,
Tsuyoshi

Wow... I am at my wits end with trying to figure out some things in apple zen with it's drop down menu! I really need some help!

I have the drop down menu in the header and I would like to get rid of the following: (I have tried and tried to no avail)

1. About us
2. Discount Coupons
3. Gift Certificates
4. Specials
5. New products

I also cannot get the site map to go away!

You can remove About us in includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php, just remove it:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_US; ?></a></li>

2. If you want coupons off for the whole site, go to "Modules", "Order Total", and disable the discount coupon module. If you want it off for only the drop menu, remove it from tpl_drop_menu.php:

<?php if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_COUPON_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
                <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DISCOUNT_COUPON, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_DISCOUNT_COUPON; ?></a></li>
                <?php } ?>

3. If you want gift certificates off, do the same thing as #2. If you want it off only for the drop menu, remove this chunk:

<?php if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_GV_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
                <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_FAQ, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_GV_FAQ; ?></a></li>
                <?php } ?>

4. If you specials off for the whole site, go to the tpl_drop_menu.php again, and remove it:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SPECIALS; ?></a></li>

5. Same as #4, but remove this chunk:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_NEW_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>

If you'd like the Site Map off for the entire site, Go to your admin, to "Configuration", "Define Page Status", and turn the site map off. If you want it off for the drop menu only, remove it from tpl_drop_menu.php:

<?php if (DEFINE_SITE_MAP_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
                <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SITE_MAP; ?></a></li>
                <?php } ?>

Thank you so much for helping me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am thrilled beyond belief!
Everything worked except getting rid of SITE MAP! I totally removed:

<?php if (DEFINE_SITE_MAP_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SITE_MAP; ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>

from my tpl_drop_menu.php file and also in my admin, site map status is set to 3.....it's so annoying!
