Apple Zen Support Thread

[JTheed]

I'm using the apple zen template (fantastic template :) ) and I need to know how I would move the drop down menu up to the top of the page just below where home/login/search are?

The website is located at www.funkymunkys.ca

You will have to edit 2 files to move the dropdown menu. They are:

/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_main_page.php and tpl_header.php

In tpl_main_page.php look at or around line 172. You should see this:

<!--bof-drop down menu display-->
        <?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_drop_menu.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_drop_menu.php');?>
        <!--eof-drop down menu display-->

Basically, your are going to cut and paste that code from tpl_main_page.php to tpl_header.php

Insert the lines in tpl_header.php between these at or around line 60

            <div id="navMainSearch">
              <?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?>
            </div>
INSERT THE LINES HERE
          </div>
        </div>

You will have to adjust your .css files to move your Logo down below the dropdown menu.

Thank you JTheed that worked fabulously!! I just moved it up, and since I have home, login, and shopping cart links all in the drop down bar, I decided to omit the header navigation. Doing that made it all line up nice, I just had to move the center body section up to the top to get it all together.

Thanks alot for your quick response.


I have a few more questions that I haven't had much luck in finding the answers to if anyone would be able to answer:

1. I just noticed as I was flipping around pages on the site that after I changed my sideboxes to be different colors..as seen here:

http://funkymunkys.ca/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

Does anyone know how to stop the little gray squares from popping up in there?


2. I noticed at the bottom of the page just before the footer areas...that the borders of the center content area are missing on the left and right sides adjacent to the corner.

3. My site name logo at the top appears fine in firefox but in IE it's missing the brown bars on the right hand side. Any ideas how to make it not extend past the end in IE?

In your Stylesheet.css around line 55 or below, remove the background gif. It's under the h3.rightBoxHeading

In stylesheet.css around line 437 find:

#bottomwrapper {
   top:  2.18em
}

change it to be :

#bottomwrapper {
   top:  0.18em
}

Awesome, once again my hat is off to you. That did the trick for both of those problems :)

This is the best I could do so far:
Stylesheet.css around line 397 under logoWrapperOuter change the width to be 85.5 em

at #logoIMG change the width to 997px

In the stylesheet_header_menu.css around line 44 change the width to 84.8em.

The best you could do so far.....to me is perfection. I had been playing with the #logoIMG, not realizing I had to change other places.

Thank you very much.

I have some issues with this template... actually, right now I have two problems to solve and couldn't find it in the thread...

- I've installed zen cart in english and portuguese, when i try to see some product it shows just a blank page, in english it is perfect.


- The search box the should be only in the top of the page is in the right menu, and I can't take it out (and want to).

Thanks! I'm kinda newbie in Zen Cart, so, excuse some error.



My site if anybody want to see what I'm talking is http://hearttoheart.com.br/loja/

I fixed the first issue (but now i have a problem with the charset...)

and don't know how to edit a post here, so it's another post.

You can not edit a message after it has been there for 7 minutes.

Go to your admin tools layout boxes controller page and turn the search box off. NOT sideboxes/search_header.php, but sideboxes/search.php
