Apple Zen Support Thread

No, h1-h3 wouldn't do anything, since the menu doesn't use h1-h3 at all. You can view the source of your site to see what that section DOES use (for example, you'll seen the menu is wrapped by <div id="dropMenu"></div> so then you can use:

#dropMenu {font-size:.9em;}

Sorry, I am still not sure how to correct this. it is in zencart/includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

I tried the following:

1. <div id="dropMenu">
#dropMenu {font-size:.9em;}
<ul class="level1">
2. <div id="dropMenu" font-size:.5em>


both are not working. the site is fx.pcmfx.com

thanks, -dale

For my site fx.pcmfx.com, the feedback I got is it is too scattered. I want to make it more packed like radioshack.com. If we can make it packed, the font size issue could be solved as well. Could you suggest how to achieve this?

Many thanks, -Dale

Hi Jade,
I'm still have some unanswered posts but will try with this question as it is pretty blaring to visitors. I know it has been addressed but can not get the solutions to work for me.

Problem: java applet covering drop down menu.
Some suggestions from Old Thread: Problem W/ Css Category Fly Out & A Flash Object

Placeing the

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

in my applet looks like it should work but does not.

So I took Dr Byte's suggestion

Potential Solution:
1. set z-index:1; ... likely best by adding a new selector:
Code:
div#nav-cat ul.level1 {
/*position: absolute; */
z-index:1;
}

and looked at your stylesheet_header_menu.css for a place to put it and realized you have many z-index set to 1000. Which should I change to "1"? Changing them all to 1 did not make any difference.

Just wanted to add this note for those trying to figure out where to put their images for flash or a java applet to work on the intro page...in the main folder. It is index.php that calls for the images coded in define_main_page.php.

Jade...i've been reading all over the web and just don't think this is fixable. I've moved my applet out of the way of the slideshow. Still would like to know of a fix if I missed it, though. Some folks have gotten it to work.

hi, Does anyone know how to display a row of category images like Jade did on
http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com/ ?

Many thanks.

I too would like to know how to display category listings to wrap horizontally instead of in one single column...I would like my category and subcategory listings to look just like the "New Products, Featured Products, Specials, etc" listings. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have been searching this thread for the past hour and have found some related questions, but not related answers...

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subcategory images issue:

You changed this:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
	float:left;
	}

to this:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
	float:center;
	}

A) There's no such thing as float:center;, B) When you have a list of css things like the above, never change all of them, only change the one you actually want changed. SO, if you want the logo to no longer be "float:left", simply remove #logo from the above list, like this:

.centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
	float:left;
	}

Then the other stuff that NEEDS to float:left, will still float:left.

1) admin, "configuration", "product listing"

2) same as #1, change next/prev to bottom

3) Add to css:
#productDetailsList {float:right}

4) "catalog", "product types" edit the product general layout

Okay, I was able to get everything accomplished except for the Category/Sub Category listings. I changed the code as you pointed out, but that seemed to only affect my main logo so I am not sure what it has to do with the layout of the Category and Subcategory images.

To repeat my request...I would like my Category and Subcategory listings to wrap horrizontally accross the page, just like the "featured, or new product" listings do. Is this possible? If so, how do I accomplish it.

Thank you very very much for your help! I hope you get paid somehow for all the time you put into this template!

Say, I solved it! My applet, as simple a script as it was and better,...but I found a java script equivalent and it works like a charm. No obstruction of the submenu.

did some searches and didn't find an answer, so I'm going to ask here. I just installed Apple zen template following the readme. Once installed, I reset the layout box controller. I don't see any sideboxes. Did I miss anything? I went ahead and turned off the ones I don't want, but I don't see any.
