How can i still use the TagLine

You can simply add the text to your language file. Open up includes/languages/english/simple_zen/header.php. Find this section:

<ul><li><a id="sc" href="index.php?main_page=shopping_cart"><i>Shopping Cart</i></a></li><li><a id="cu" href="index.php?main_page=contact_us"><i>Contact Us</i></a></li><li><a id="ma" href="index.php?main_page=account"><i>My Account</i></a></li></ul>

Directly after the closing </ul>, add this:

<div id="taglineSub">Text you want here</div>

Then add this to your stylesheet:

#taglineSub {margin:-15px 0 0 25px}

You can change the 25px to move the text to the left or right to kind of center it.

This will put your tagline right underneath the Shopping Cart/Contact Us/My Account links.

Hi does anybody know how to get rid of the "mini nav bar" under the company logo and above the left side bars? Typically right above the Categories sidebar.

It has **EZPages :: Privacy Notice :: Zen Cart.

**I've looked around and couldn't find anything. I've noticed that a lot of people using this template have already accomplished this, could someone enlighten me?

Thanks in advance.

Thats the EZ Pages Header Bar, you can remove that under "Configuration", "EZPages Settings".

Thanks yeah I figured it out. However I still can't figure out how to get rid of the Product Categories which are above the EZ Header Bar and below the main logo.

I don't see much point having these and having the exact same thing under the categories sidebar.

If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be most appreciative. Sorry I'm still trying to find my way around. :frusty:

Sorry, that's under "Configuration", "Layout Settings":

Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF

I highly highly highly suggest this Reference mod for the admin:
http://www.zen-cart.com/archived_contributions/admin-tools/reference_cfg-keys.zip

It allows you to do a search in the admin to find the right setting you want to change. For example, you could have done a search for "Categories" or "Tabs" with this mod and found the right place. I use it ALL the time... it should be stock with zen cart (IMHO).

Small Problem

Wait a few seconds and the layout bumps down and leaves a huge grey area at the top

never mind, i forgot to upload the stylesheet from the image handler mod

Thanks again jettrue. Took your advice and installed the reference mod :D

I have setup EZ Pages up on another site. Works great. I am now setting it up another site and I am having issues. I am not sure if it has something to do with the template or not. I switched back to the classic and it is still not working. Here is the scenario:

1. Template is simple_zen
2. Just trying to create an internal link url (tried also html content) ezpage
3. I checked to use sidebox.
4. I went to layout boxes controller and turned on ezpages.

Am I missing something? Is there a bug? This is a 1.3.7 site with the only thing non-stock is that I added the faq module and customized to use the simple_zen template. There are otherwise no overrides that I have done.

The site is at http://www.muntada.com/

Mutanda / Whoever can help,

I recently made a site with the simple zen template and noticed on your site a similar problem on mine -- which is that on the site map page, all of the links are displayed in a line and not tiered as they should be. How do i/we fix this?:huh:

Did you give the page a sort order? Is it not adding a new link (I see one link up there now). There's certainly nothing in the template that would stop an ez-page.

ul {margin-left:15px}

ul {margin-left:15px}

well that was an easy fix.. Thanks!

Great template! I like the blue version, but how do I change the color of the links to match? See http://www.cqfiltersales.com. Sorry, I'm not very good at CSS.

Thanks,
Mark

You can do a search in the stylesheet for #933. That is the red I used for links. Find those 933's and change them to what you'd like. That will also get you in the areas for links in general, so you can change some of the grey's as well if you like.

I am using the SZ template at 100% and have a large empty space between my logo and the gif links in the header.

I would like the logo and header gifs to be more balanced.

Is there anyway to space out the header gif links more to the left? (move them in more to the center).

I tried increasing the file size of the topnav.gif and in the CSS:
#tagline ul {
height:86px;
margin:0;
width: 336px;

but, can't move it over to the center.

any suggestions?

#tagline is currently floated right, so it is staying to the right. Something like this would work:

#tagline {
float:left;
height:70px;
width:336px;
padding-left:30px;
}

You know, after thinking about this, and seeing the changes, I'd suggest something else. :blush:

I would change everything back to the way it was, and change #logoWrapper to this:

#logoWrapper {
	background: url(../images/shadow.gif) repeat-x bottom;
	height:105px;
	width:950px;
	}

This way, when your customers either shrink their browser window, or have a higher resolution or smaller monitor, the image links won't wrap down below the logo. Also remember, it seems that you are using a very wide browser window (from the width of your picture), and not everyone does that. The narrowest I can make the window on your site right now is 1005 wide.
