Apple Zen Support Thread

[english_1969]

Hi,

I've recently discovered both Zen cart and the apple zen template, which is GREAT! I am slowly working on an online floral shop and the apple zen template has a lot of what i've been looking for.

One question, however:

I would like to inquire about how to modify the category/link CSS display so that:

a) the categories are displayed horizontally in using the CSS menu style with sub categories being displayed as the vertical component (instead of the horizontal listing with just top category links).

b) the information items (about us, my account, etc.) is displayed somewhere else (maybe in a box on the right).

This is my html mock-up/design for the site:
http://tegflorist.com/indexmain.php

Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
W

a) try using the "Pauls Version" of the css drop down menu, you'll find it in the downloads section in "other modules"

b) Turn on the ezpages sidebox, and add any pages you'd like (you can link to the about us page, my account page, etc.), under "Tools", "Layout boxes controller", then add the ezpages under "Tools", "Ezpages".

I have a site which I built using apple zen some time ago and it has worked just great. The client now wants to offer items for sale in different currencies. I've switched on sideboxes/currencies in layout box controller and set it to OFF, LEFT, 0, 0, ON as I would like it to appear next to the search box.
This hasn't done the trick though. How do I get them to display?

You have to add the code for the currencies sidebox in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/currencies.php'); ?>

Hi Jettrue,
Thanks for your help. But where do I put this code? The page code up to EZPAGES_STATUS header is as follows:

?>
<?php
  // Display all header alerts via messageStack:
  if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
    echo $messageStack->output('header');
  }
  if (isset($_GET['error_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['error_message'])) {
  echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($_GET['error_message']));
  }
  if (isset($_GET['info_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['info_message'])) {
   echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['info_message']);
} else {

}
?>
<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->
<?php
if (!isset($flag_disable_header) || !$flag_disable_header) {
?>
<div id="headerWrapper" class="clearfix">

        if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
                <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>

I'd like the currencies to display to the left of the search box. I tried putting the line of code you gave me directly before

<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?>

but that gave me errors when I opened the page.

I love the Apple Zen template it really looks good.

What is the best way to move an attribute up to the level of the Add to Cart, just under Shipping Weight?

Any help would be appreciated.

Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

Everything is nicely segregated in that template, you can move chunks around where you'd like them.
