Can the drop down menus be done in multiple languages?

Thanks

Yes, by using language files, just duplicate any language file I've created for the drop down, into the language folder for your second language, with the new language defines. If you are unfamiliar with using multiple languages, I'd search the FAQ (see link at the top of the site) for some related articles.

Hi.
i've read info.txt
i've tried both configurations of .htaccess

(example.com -> www.example.com) all formating on page crashed, all pictures do not appear.

(www.expample.com -> example.com) drop down menu appears larger than browser can display.

what am i doing wrong?
Thank you,
Chris.


PS. what's better www.example.com or http://example.com?

PS. Firefox browser works just fine.
IE6 and IE7 Crashes formatting of drop down menu bar lenth. It makes it longer than viewable page and all side boxes do not appear on main page(user has to scroll to right).

Thank you.

Try adding your background images to #centerColumnWrapper2b in the stylesheet.css.

ahh perfect, thank you!

The final thing I would like to do is to round to bottom corners of that same area I just added the background image to.

I'm off to do a search on the forums to see which will be the easiest/best way to go about it. Any tips/suggestions will be most welcome if you have the time/knowledge to do so.

Thanks again for your time

It's not rude to ask to increase the width, he was referring to make it a "fluid" layout, which means that the width would change depending on the width of the browser.

TO make the middle wider, you'd need to open up includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet.css and change all instances of:

"width:68em"

to another width. You'll have to test to see what works best for you. First, try adding 7em more. Replace all of the "width:68em" to "width:75em"

Then change all instances of

"width:69em"

to "width:76em" (which is 7em more).

Then open up includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css

and change all instances of "width:68em"

to "width:75em".

I would like mine to be wider but I have not found any instances of "width"68em" in the specified stylesheetcss file. which lines of code should I be looking for?

This section from the readme can help you:

** STEP 5. To use your own logo, simply overwrite "logo.gif" that is located in includes/templates/apple_zen/images/ and upload. You can create an image that is larger than it is designed to be viewed, so that when someone increases their font size, the image will enlarge also. If your logo is a lot wider or narrower than the one I designed, you may need to adjust this section in the stylesheet (includes/templates/apple_zen/stylesheet.css):

#logo {

width:19.1em

}

To keep your logo from resizing, remove

#logo img {

width:100%;

}

I've adjusted the template since then, the 68 is now 70, and the 69 is now 71.
