EStore Now layout questions

I have just installed the latest ZenCart and the EStore Now template.

I can't seem to figure out a couple of layout issues.

1. How do I have the Search Box at the very top like the sample?

2. How do I display the navigation bar that the sample shows just below the logo?

I'm sure these are pretty basic things but I just can't seem to find where the controls on those are set.

Please help.

The search box at the upper right should automatically appear with the default install.

The menu bar is the EZ-Pages menu. In admn/configuration/EZ-Pages Settings, make sure EZ-Pages Display Status - HeaderBar is set to 1. And, in Tools/EZ-Pages under Headers make sure status is set to active for the items you want to appear in the menu.

Since most of us don't use that template, a link to your site might help.

Fortunately, it's one I have installed at my sandbox.

Maybe it should but it does not automatically show the search.

Also in the EZ-Pages menu it is set to 1 and it does not display the menu bar in the store.

This is a brand new install and apparently must be uninstalled and then reinstalled since it is not doing the things that it simply should do.

Will this be something that I will need to figure out how to change the code to make it display?

I did try reinstalling both ZenCart and the template and the same problems exist.

This clearly is something that I will need to figure out how to modify the code to make it display. After re-downloading and then reinstalling both ZenCart AND the template there is no change.

Where will I find the code for the content that displays in both of those locations? It is clear that something is missing or has been filtered out somehow.

I have php5.2 running on my hosting account.

Could this be the issue?

I have confirmed that anything that appears within the DIV tag <div id="navMainSearch"> on

includes/template/template name/common/tpl_header.php

will not display no matter what is entered.

For the navigation bar. Something is preventing it from accessing /tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php

If I copy and paste the code from that file into common/tpl_header.php at the correct spot the navigation bar appears.

So what would be blocking that from displaying?

It's more than just setting the EZ-Pages menu to 1. You also have to set the status for each page to active in Tools/EZ-Pages. Did you do that?

You don't need to modify anything. This template works fine right out of the gate. What version of Zen Cart are you using? Is it 1.50 by any chance?

Okay, I just added this template to my 1.50 RC2 install, and it works perfectly. So, it works in 1.38, 1.39h, and 1.50.

It appears that either you screwed something up during the install, or there's some kind of server issue.

I have 1.3.9h

I have uninstalled both ZenCart and the Template migrated to a brand new hosting server had the hosting provider reinstall ZenCart and the template for me this time. The same problems persist.

My mistake was selecting this template. I clearly will need to dramatically alter the template to get it to work correctly.

How do I do this? There is nothing to set a status for.

Admin/Tools/EZ-Pages. Across the top are the locations - header/sidebox/footer. Status is set by the green / red icons. Green is on, red is off.

If it's installed correctly, there is nothing to alter.

So this is something that I need to manually create?

No navigation & no search box

No, it isn't manually created. Your install or your database is screwed up. Do the options appear if you revert to classic template?

Nothing appears in Tools/EZ-Pages

The search, however does show up on the page with the default template.

I guess I need to unistall ZenCart and install an older version since there is an issue with the current version.

Try clicking new file at the lower right and creating a test page linking to your contact page, which would be index.php?main_page=contact_us.
