Simple Zen Template - Support Thread

ezskratch:

Jet,

Time for 2 quick questions?

I am beating my head against simple mis alignment issues. I have read and read - but cannot seem to solve these problems for this site : http://www.ezskratch.com/store/index.php?main_page=index

1. Blank space to right of SHOPPING CART - want to kill and spread remaining 6 MENU ITEMS over same space.

2. Want to line up Grey HOME menu w striped lines and Green Home menu line.

Thanks!

It looks like you're using apple zen, not simple zen, but you probably want to update to the newest version of apple zen.

1. The newest version of apple zen fixes this issue.

2. You're missing the <div class="clearBoth"></div> which comes standard in the newest apple zen, at the bottom of includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Due to some additional mods like betterCategoriesEzInfo.css, I now have 4 css stylesheets running on my ZC, is it ok to merge those css stylesheets into your stylesheet_new.css so I have only one css running.

Sure, though sometimes its simpler to find css you need that way, but you can certainly combine them.

Thanks for above..

I currently have Display Cart After Adding Product set to false.

Currently the alert displays at the top of the page (above the header links)

would it be posssible to move the "Alert" (light bulb) Success Successfully added item to the cart ...

down a bit into the product info display?

I looked in the product_info_display page and couldn't find any mention of alerts...

Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php.

This chunk handles all messages:

 <?php
  // Display all header alerts via messageStack:
  if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
    echo $messageStack->output('header');
  }
  if (isset($_GET['error_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['error_message'])) {
  echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($_GET['error_message']));
  }
  if (isset($_GET['info_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['info_message'])) {
   echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['info_message']);
} else {

}
?>

I think it would be good to remove it from tpl_header.php, and move it to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php, perhaps just after:

<!-- eof breadcrumb -->

Thanks works perfectly!:clap:

Makes a Huge Difference...smoking! :smoke:

jettrue,
I need to know what the size of the space is at the top of the page and where it is controlled. I'd like to remove the text and make the logo.gif precisely the same size as the "hole" so there is no space around the edges of it.
Thanks for your help, this template rocks and you are very helpful.

I like this template, but am having a bit of trouble with the graphics not showing up on the Shopping Cart Contents page. Here's the site: http://glass-cleaning-tips.com/

When you click the "Order Now" link near the bottom, the page that displays is just showing a few of the graphics that are needed to move forward. This site is meant to be very simple and is a work in progress - the look and feel is being worked on.

Could you point me to what I am missing that is making those graphics not show? I am sure it is something fairly easy. Thank you!!!

I wanted to move the product details list (model etc) on the product info page, up from under the primary image, to join the rest of the product description (to the right of the primary image).

i have moved the product details block around the page, but it looks like it should be where it is, but this code needs to change to float right or something:

<ul id="productDetailsList" class="floatingBox back">

I have guessed a few code varations of float right, but the bullet points ride into (too close)to the image, and the text is not in a linear line:

Model:
THX
1138

instead of

Model: THX 1138

Any suggestions? maybe a float right, with a back twist and a margin dohicky?:wacko:

also...I have changed one of the links in the topnav to open in a new window, and don't want it open as a https secure page, when browsing SSL pages in the main window.

is there a way to tweak this to make it never open as https?

ex:

<li><a id="cu" href="open-as-non-ssl-page.html" target="_blank"><i>Non SSL page</i></a></li

maybe a zen_href_link thingy? or a 'NONSSL' doodad?:bigups:

Make sure all the files for this template are uploaded into their correct spots. It sounds like you missed some.

That would be a good question for the general forum, I'm not sure how to do that.

I ended up moving the product details block up into the product description and getting rid of the <ul> and <li> and adding a <br />:

<!--eof Add to Cart Box-->
 <!--bof Product description -->
<?php if ($products_description != '') { ?>
<div id="productDescription" class="productGeneral biggerText"><?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof Product description -->
<!--bof Product details list  -->
<?php if ( (($flag_show_product_info_model == 1 and $products_model != '') or ($flag_show_product_info_weight == 1 and $products_weight !=0) or ($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) or ($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name))) ) { ?>
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_model == 1 and $products_model !='') ? '' . TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL . $products_model . '' : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_weight == 1 and $products_weight !=0) ? '' . TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT .  $products_weight . TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT . ''  : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . $products_quantity . TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY . '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <br />
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name)) ? '' . TEXT_PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER . $manufacturers_name . '' : '') . "\n"; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php
  }
?>
<!--eof Product details list -->
<br class="clearBoth" />

its kind of ugly:yuck:, as I do not know how to code, but it displays ok. hope this helps others....

I just noticed the topnav gif header Link "my Account" is non SSL:

english/header:

<li><a id="ma" href="index.php?main_page=account"><i>My Account</i></a>

Since the other My account link in the Header is SSL.......Do you know how to make the topnav my account header gif goto the my account page as SSl?

dharma:

I just noticed the topnav gif header Link "my Account" is non SSL:

english/header:

why not just code the full link, with the https:// before it? But yeah, I should figure that out for the next release.....

why not just code the full link, with the https:// before it?

I think that IE would shoot a warning (secure and non-secure items) if it was a real world link, no?

I tried forwarding to an EZ page, no dice...:frusty: javascript? can't think of anything else...please post if there is a solution...

First my compliments for the simple-zen template!
I managed to change some colors and made some adjustments for my site. And I have made a new image for the topnav.gif.
I was wondering if it is possible to have different images for the different lanquages?
I have one in english and dutch. I tried to do it by making two folders in the CSS folder (english and dutch) and renamed one image in the image-folder and css-file. But this doesn't work.
Who has an idea for a solution? Thanks in advance.

This would be a good question for the general forum. I'm not experienced in using different stylesheets for different languages. I think there is a way to do that, but you have to name them a certain way.

Thank you for your fast reply!
I've put your words in the 'search' form and found more info:
