Apple Zen Support Thread

[hrinfo]

Hi everyone,

I have looked and searched through the thread without success so I hope that someone may be able to help.


I am putting a new site together using this template (excellent work and thanks for it). Now I have had to modify few things and everything worked fine. The problem is the header in that I had to hardcode it because the site uses the mouseover effect.

Anyway it works great in IE and FF but not in Safari. It looks like there is a problem with the way that Safari handles the background layer in the header. You can see the site here:

Any ideas will be great.

Thanks

ok found the answer .So if anyone attempts something simular and has the same problem with Safari in tha tthe background layer in the header does not show correctly use the following code:

#logoWrapperOuter {
background:#800000 url(../images/yourimage.gif) repeat-x;
height:100%;
margin:0 0 0 0;
position:relative;
text-align:center;
z-index: 0;
padding: 10 0 0 0;
overflow: hidden;

It worked for me and it is an inherent problem that Safari has in that it handles some elements differently than IE and FF

Hi Everyone,

OK got new problem which is totally weird. Any help will be appreciated.

I have moved the Ezpages on the drop down menu to be by itself rather than part of the information box as it looks neater and it makes it easier when you have a lot of pages. That works fine and the links are shown properly.

The problem is that for some strange reason all the ezpages are showing up in the New Products Sidebox as well. I have tried but I can not figure it out why it is doing that.

The site is now on its own server here http://www.carmo.nl/store/index.php?...ex&language=en

Just look at the right hand column near the end. Any help will be great

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has attempted displaying two sideboxes on the right side using this template?

Most folks are viewing websites on wider screens these days and this would be a great way to get more sideboxes "above the fold"

thanks!

Question on Apple Zen...
Using ZC 1.3.8, newest AppleZen, working on Mac with Textmate. From the very beginning, the drop menu is sticking to the left side of the page, no matter what the width. I've tried every CSS position attribute with no success. I've looked at other stylesheets of AppleZen stores and there is no difference. I've gone thru the install, file by file with no success. I also have a demo store where the drop menu is correct, but the sidebox is not showing, which I'm not concerned about in this case (the sidebox that is). I have gone thru forums to no avail. Problem is the same on Safari, FF and IE7.0. Store is here, demo store is here.
Any ideas?

Is a complicated css and floating issue. I need to redesign the way the product page works. If you can wait a few days, I can upload the file here for you.

I was wondering if you were ever able to figure out the bullets issue?

Maybe because you commented out this height setting from the drop menu stylesheet?

div#dropMenu li a {
display: block;
/* Hides from IE5-mac \*/
/*height: 1%; */
/* End hide from IE5-mac */

Just a guess. That is the only difference I found with the original stylesheet, other than the green/grey selection.

I tried that and affects only the height of the dark grey menu bar, not the left/right placement. Are there any other stylesheets that might be superceding this one? I haven't done any major tweaks or add-ons to the code, just the basic color changes, content changes, etc.

If the screen rez is above 1280 x 1024 then you can see 2 sideboxes above the fold, if you properly tighten up your top logo section... thing is, over 50% of rez are below vertical 1024:

You should probably optimize for 1024x768

Sorry. I am no CSS expert.

When I looked at your page source I did not see it calling any other stylesheets. So I am not sure where the conflict is.

I would use WinMerge or similar program and compare your ORIGINAL unaltered files with the current ones and see if you find any other differences.

I am sure if Jade was around she would figure it out fast. I have not seen her on here much lately though.

If you can't get an answer here, you might want to try the general forum.

Good luck! And let us know if you resolve it.
