I'm not sure exactly where you wanting these lines, but all this is done in the css.

The css for a black border would be something like this:

#whereveryouwanttheborder {
border: 1px solid #000;
}

All you have to do is figure out what the tag for the portion you want the border on. If you're talking about the sideboxes, you can try putting it under #navColumnOneWrapper (left side) and navColumnTwoWrapper(right side). Or under .leftBoxContainer for both left and right at once.

HTH!

Will Simple Zen work with the latest release, 1.3.5 ?

Will Simple Zen work with the latest release, 1.3.5 ?

Yes it will work, HOWEVER there are some css changes in 1.3.5. I've uploaded the changes to the downloads section. I've set the css up so that it will STILL work for 1.3.0.2, so you can use the download for 1.3.0.2 as well as 1.3.5.

In case you've heavily updated your css file, and just want to know the css changes for 1.3.5, here they are:

STEP 1.
change

#navMain ul li, #navSupp ul li, #navCatTabs ul li {
	display: inline;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}

to

#navMain ul li, #navSupp ul li, #navCatTabs ul li {
	display: inline;
	}

Step 2.
change

#navMain ul li a, #navSupp ul li a {
	text-decoration: none;
	padding: 0em 0.9em;
	margin: 0;
	color: #fff;
	}

to

#navMain ul li a, #navSupp ul li a {
	text-decoration: none;
	padding: 0em 0.9em;
	margin: 0;
	color: #fff;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}

Step 3.
change

#cartAttribsList {
	margin-left: 1em;
	}

to

.cartAttribsList {
	margin-left: 1em;
	}

Step 4.
ADD

.orderHistList {
	margin: 1em;
	padding: 0.2em 0em;
	} 

Step 5.
ADD

#cartBoxEmpty, #cartBoxVoucherBalance {
  	font-weight: bold;
  	}

Step 6.
change

.centeredContent, TH, #cartEmptyText, #cartBoxGVButton, #navNextPrevWrapperTop, #navNextPrevWrapperBottom, #navCatTabsWrapper, #navEZPageNextPrev, #bannerOne, #bannerTwo,  #bannerThree,  #bannerFour,  #bannerFive,  #bannerSix, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP, .center, .cartRemoveItemDisplay, .cartQuantityUpdate, .cartQuantity, .cartTotalsDisplay, #cartBoxGVBalance, .leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading, .productListing-data, .accountQuantityDisplay, .ratingRow, LABEL#textAreaReviews, #productMainImage, #reviewsInfoDefaultProductImage, #productReviewsDefaultProductImage, #reviewWriteMainImage, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .additionalImages, .centerBoxContentsSpecials, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .centerBoxContentsFeatured, .centerBoxContentsNew, .gvBal, .attribImg {
	text-align: center;
	}

to

.centeredContent, TH, #cartEmptyText, #cartBoxGVButton, #cartBoxEmpty, #cartBoxVoucherBalance, #navNextPrevWrapperTop, #navNextPrevWrapperBottom, #navCatTabsWrapper, #navEZPageNextPrev, #bannerOne, #bannerTwo,  #bannerThree,  #bannerFour,  #bannerFive,  #bannerSix, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP, .center, .cartRemoveItemDisplay, .cartQuantityUpdate, .cartQuantity, .cartTotalsDisplay, #cartBoxGVBalance, .leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading, .productListing-data, .accountQuantityDisplay, .ratingRow, LABEL#textAreaReviews, #productMainImage, #reviewsInfoDefaultProductImage, #productReviewsDefaultProductImage, #reviewWriteMainImage, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .additionalImages, .centerBoxContentsSpecials, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .centerBoxContentsFeatured, .centerBoxContentsNew, .gvBal, .attribImg {
	text-align: center;
	}

That's IT!

I've expanded jettrue's list to include explanations for why each of these changes was done and how to implement them both for 1.3.5 but also, in most cases, even if you don't plan to upgrade yet. You can find this in this thread.

has anyone been able to fix the issue with the clickable links in IE for the header. This is just a plain irritation. I have IE but its still out there and still used (why, why not lol)

Man! I swore I fixed that! In fact I know I fixed that! Yet when I re-download the upload where I said "I fixed it", it doesn't fix the issue. So, somehow I mixed up a new file with an old file, and now I don't know what it was that I did to fix it.

I came up with a temporary fix that seems to work, until (if ever) I come up with a better solution.

* html #tagline li {
  margin-left:-165px;
  }

It's basically telling IE ONLY to start the links for the image map 165 pixels to the left. For some reason that is over my head, I can't tell why IE wants to start the links 165 pixels to the right. Anyone? Anyone? :lamo:

ahhh...ok fixed the issue with the IE thanks for the tip. Now im having issues with another problem. I put this code in...

 <div id="navMain"> <ul class="back">
 <li> <?php

  echo zen_draw_form('categoriesSelect', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');

  echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('cPath', zen_get_categories(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => Categories))), (isset($_GET['categories_id']) ? $_GET['categories_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="1"') . zen_hide_session_id();

  echo '</form>';

?></li>
<li><?php

 $manufacturer_list_query = "select m.manufacturers_id, m.manufacturers_name
                            from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m
                            order by manufacturers_name";

 $manufacturer_list = $db->Execute($manufacturer_list_query);

  if ($manufacturer_list->RecordCount()>0) {
    $number_of_rows = $manufacturer_list->RecordCount()+1;

// Display a list
    $manufacturer_list_array = array();
    if ($_GET['manufacturers_id'] == '' ) {
      $manufacturer_list_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_ALL);
    } else {
      $manufacturer_list_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_MANUFACTURERS);
    }

    while (!$manufacturer_list->EOF) {
      $manufacturer_list_name = ((strlen($manufacturer_list->fields['manufacturers_name']) > MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) ? substr($manufacturer_list->fields['manufacturers_name'], 0, MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) . '..' : $manufacturer_list->fields['manufacturers_name']);
      $manufacturer_list_array[] = array('id' => $manufacturer_list->fields['manufacturers_id'],
                                       'text' => $manufacturer_list_name);

      $manufacturer_list->MoveNext();
    }

    }

  echo zen_draw_form('manufacturers', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
  echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturer_list_array, (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) ? $_GET['manufacturers_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="1"') . zen_hide_session_id();
  echo zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page', FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '</form>';

     <li> <?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></li>
  </ul>  </div>

Ok, first, I would put it in it's own div, like this:

  <div id="navCatForm"> <ul class="back">
 <li> <?php

  echo zen_draw_form('categoriesSelect', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');

  echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('cPath', zen_get_categories(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => Categories))), (isset($_GET['categories_id']) ? $_GET['categories_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="1"') . zen_hide_session_id();

  echo '</form>';

?></li>
<li><?php

 $manufacturer_list_query = "select m.manufacturers_id, m.manufacturers_name
                            from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m
                            order by manufacturers_name";

 $manufacturer_list = $db->Execute($manufacturer_list_query);

  if ($manufacturer_list->RecordCount()>0) {
    $number_of_rows = $manufacturer_list->RecordCount()+1;

// Display a list
    $manufacturer_list_array = array();
    if ($_GET['manufacturers_id'] == '' ) {
      $manufacturer_list_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_ALL);
    } else {
      $manufacturer_list_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_MANUFACTURERS);
    }

    while (!$manufacturer_list->EOF) {
      $manufacturer_list_name = ((strlen($manufacturer_list->fields['manufacturers_name']) > MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) ? substr($manufacturer_list->fields['manufacturers_name'], 0, MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) . '..' : $manufacturer_list->fields['manufacturers_name']);
      $manufacturer_list_array[] = array('id' => $manufacturer_list->fields['manufacturers_id'],
                                       'text' => $manufacturer_list_name);

      $manufacturer_list->MoveNext();
    }

    }

  echo zen_draw_form('manufacturers', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
  echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturer_list_array, (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) ? $_GET['manufacturers_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="1"') . zen_hide_session_id();
  echo zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page', FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '</form>';

?></li>
     <li> <?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></li>
  </ul>  </div>
  <br class="clearBoth" />

Then I'd give it it's own css styles:

#navCatForm ul li {display:inline}
#navCatForm form {display:inline}

That should do it!

Ok, I've uploaded a NEW NEW version, 1.5. This should BOTH be compatible with v1.3.5 AND fix the header in IE. the only file changed is stylesheet_new.css.

alright first off thanks jettrue this is a excellent template, second thanks for all the support ive found on this template.

also this works with Firefox but not IE it still breaks up

scratch that found a hack, and its good now. <div id="navCatForm" style="float: left; display: inline">

ok another one for ya. how can i change the text header for the search button with a actual button.

nevermind again. Im gonna quit asken till i get it all down lol

shopyoungway:

nevermind again. Im gonna quit asken till i get it all down lolYour questions seem to have moved beyond the scope of the Simple Zen template to more general customisation of Zen Cart. You might want to try giving them their own thread when they are not specifically about this template - they'll get a wider range of potential respondants that way.

well this is actually one for you i have tried to figure this out now for a day and a half but can't find what needs to be done. I am trying to carry the border around the my account area ( the light border around the whole thing and it sits between the title) i want to set that onto the categories menu but i can not get it at all. would apreciate any help.

Thanks
