Apple Zen Support Thread

[jettrue]

Hey Jettrue! I didn't observe this until just now, but not my category links are all under 'HOME' on my drop down menu. The links used to be under 'GALLERY' (formally my categories link)...what could have happened?

You probably took out the WHOLE Categories title and link, instead of just the link. You should have changed this:

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

To this:

<li class="submenu"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?>

So paste the above, right above this:

              <?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;
?>

What is the link of your zen cart store? You said you installed in on a subdomain?

if you installed the cart on a sub-domain, then it will show up on the subdomain. If you want it on your main domain, you have to install it there.

Also, if you're using zen cart, you need to delete the index.html.

Thanks Jettrue! Gallery came back, but if you go to my site, it looks funny.

Here is my code:

?>
<!-- menu area -->
<div id="dropMenuWrapper">
  <div id="dropMenuWrapperb">
    <div id="dropMenuWrapperc">
      <div id="dropMenuWrapperd">
        <div id="dropMenu">
          <ul class="level1">
            <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a>
              <ul class="level2">
                               <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ALL); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ALL_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>
                                <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SEARCH; ?></a></li>
              </ul>
            </li>
<li class="submenu"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?>          
              <?php

What did I do?

Let start from square one.

1. uploaded the Include file from the zen template to the include folder on the server under the public_html and www.
2. Went into Zen admin and selected the apple zen from theere and clicked upload.

IS there anything else that Iam suppose to do to be able to see the apple zen in the public domain"homedecoronline.net"??????



Now if I got to my url which is www.homedecoronline.net, Don't I suppose to see the Apple template there? or Should it still be the Default Zen Template?

If I design a template on MS front Page, How much work it takes to like it to Zen Cart so all the comand function properly?]

The other site"www.glamorousshoe.com" I had a company do and charged me alot of money But it function great so I am trying to learn the Zen cart on the new site" homedecoronline.net"

Did you ever see the default zen template? If you do see the default zen template, please post the link where you see it, because I do not see it on your home page (homedecoronline.net), I see a blank page. A blank page with zen cart usually means that some page was corrupted, or there is a space on some page before the first <?php, etc. DID you install the zen cart on homedecoronline.net, or homedecor.net?

If you design a template, you then have to incorporate it into the zen cart, you can't design a page, then somehow get zen cart to work within it. Zen cart is fairly easy to customize, but more complicated layouts can require an extensive knowledge of css styling, and zen cart structure, but most simple layouts aren't too bad.

Remove the padding-top from here:

#tagline {
	font-size:1.3em;
	text-align:center;
	padding-top:15px;
	}

Please post your link to your site with every question, so I don't have to go hunting for it.

Change this:
<li class="submenu"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?>
to this:
<li class="submenu"><a><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?></a>
