Apple Zen Support Thread

Thankyou, love the template. I don't want to change much just colors and that sort of thing.

I have also been trying to get rid of the To change any of the site colors etc... and I removed it from the language files leaving the '' and in between blank as I want my logo to go all the way across.

I included logo size in header.php so the height is correct but not the width and the text to the right is still there.

Is there any where else I need to change?

And where can I change the font color for the Home and Log In links right at the top?

Thanks again.

You have the answer to your question in your question:

Whenever you are searching for text to change, use the "tools", "developers tool kit" in your admin... it is your friend. No need to stay up late hours searching. Search for a portion of the text above, and it will tell you exactly where it lies (hint, it's in a language file).

Font color for Home and Login, you change in the stylesheet.css:

#navMain a {color:#ffffff} (put whatever color you want)

Hi! LOOOVE the template. I'm working on my revision. This is the first time I've worked with ZEN so if I am asking in the wrong place please let me know.

Everything looks great - except for when I go to the specials page my sidebox flips over to the left side instead of the right side. I have everything set on default for the template for now.

Is there some place else I'm supposed to indicate the boxes to go to the right side?

http://nwfashionista.com/store/index..._page=specials

This is a missing feature in zen cart, it doesn't add any default text when there are no products.

Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_specials_default.php (if it is not there, use the one from includes/templates/template_default/templates, but save it in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/)

Add this:

<?php if ($num_products_count ==0) {
 echo TEXT_NO_SPECIALS; }?>

Right after:

<h1 id="specialsListingHeading"><?php echo $breadcrumb->last(); ?></h1>

Then open up includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/specials.php (again, if it doesn't exist, get it from includes/languages/english/, and save it in includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/) and add this:

define('TEXT_NO_SPECIALS', 'There are currently no specials. Please check back later.');

how can i change listing template to reflect zen style product listing?

This is how i want it: http://citystylefurniture.com/index....e=products_new

This is how it is now: http://citystylefurniture.com/index....dex&cPath=1_27

You'd have to learn how to write PHP, LOL, zen cart does it like that by default. You can go to your admin, "configuration", "product listing", and there are some things you can change there.

Anyone can get zen lightbox working with the template?
The lightbox always gets under the css menu

Don't forget to use the search this thread feature, at the top of this thread. You could have found the answer easily there, anyhoo, this is the answer, from a previous post:

A search revealed it was in the file "stylesheet_lightbox.css" found in /includes/templates/apple_zen/css/

I made the modification (increasing z-index:100 to 1000) and everything appears to be working well now.

Thanks again Jade for a great template

Instructions:

Try changing the z-index on this section to 1000:

#lightbox {
left:0;
line-height:0;
position:absolute;
text-align:center;
top:40px;
width:100%;
z-index:100;
}

Can someone tell me why the home page is coming up short? See here http://dreamevent.com.au/

Also, I am still trying to gert rid of the To change any of the site colors, open up includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet.css. To overwrite your own logo, upload your logo.gif to includes/templates/apple_zen/images/ message below my logo. Anyone know where?

And will the column lay out grid and column divider pro work with this template?

Thank you.

Yes, the column layout grid and divider pro will work with this template. I answered your other question (removing text) already, and it looks like you fixed the home page coming up short issue?

One more issue I found and need help with.

I am entering the text into the info pages, atm I've only done the shipping info page. On the editor I am entering paragraphs for some reason it is not displaued the same on the page. http://dreamevent.com.au/index.php?m...e=shippinginfo

I have redone it several times increasing the paragraph size to see if that would make a difference. Is there a setting or something in a file I need to fiddle with?

Thank you.

add to stylesheet:

p {padding:.4em;}

[QUOTE=jettrue;561435]do you have any of the IH2 files in your custom template folders? Such as

includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/[/QUOT
is that u mean at include/modeles/apple zen? sorry...i very new on this, so need to confirm more.
If is at this folder I check already, i have delete all the IH 2 file at this folder. I plan if I still can't solve this problem may be I need to redo from start again...but it will take times for me..

Yes, the column layout grid and divider pro will work with this template. I answered your other question (removing text) already, and it looks like you fixed the home page coming up short issue?

Thank you Jade, the paragraph padding worked, I placed in row 304 for anyone else who may be wondering.

About the other 3 issues, I did use the developers tool kit and that sentence does not appear in any file but for some reason it is still showing. I will try again and let you know.

However, I have not worked out the issue with the home page comning up short, don't even know how it happened. The site is http://www.dreamevent.com.au

I really appreciate your tiem Jade, I have 4 kids myself and can appreciate what it's like to find the opportunity to sit at my laptop.

Kind regards.

Oops, me bad, I did it this time. Thanks. But an idea on the cut out main page will be appreciated. Cna't use the developer's tool kit for that.

[vivaraquel]

nvm, it's fixed now, dont ask me how. maybe something to do with the header file.

Thanks, my site is now ready for its goodies.
