Simple Zen Template - Support Thread

On the product page? You'd have to open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_product_info_display.php and find the "add to cart" code, copy it, and paste it where you would like it to show up.
Excelent! Thank you again....

I cannot get the "top" location for "add to cart" in product display to accept anything but '1'. I mean if I indicate quantity 3 it will only show 1 in the shopping cart. I copied 26 lines (88-114) to a different location, but obviously I need something else as well.. test site at:

well I'll just drop the second "add to cart"; that's working..

Similar to issue above...

I want the "add to cart" box on the product display page to be directly under the price, next to the photo of the item.

So far I have moved the "add to cart" code block up and under the <!--eof Product Price block --> on the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_product_info_display.php page,

but the button remains on the right of the page no matter where I place the block, is there something in the code that makes it stay on the right? or is it a stylesheet thing? if so, how do I move it to the left and under the price and over the product description?

Just open up your stylesheet, and change:

#cartAdd {
	float:right;

to

#cartAdd {
	float: left;

By the way, I got your PM about the new buttons needed for this template. I will do that today! :-)

I'm guessing there is no way to have two on one page. Because I think perhaps the customer would have to enter the right quantity into both boxes before pressing add to cart.

It has been a couple of years since I updated my Zencart, and things have really changed. I have looked at all the new 1.3.7 templates and really like Simple Zen. However, I would like to create a different header image which includes a couple of additional links. I was wondering if there is a tutorial that would be able to walk someone step by step through the process? If there is no tutorial, would someone be interested in providing that information?

Your help is appreciated.

I've updated simple zen for 1.3.7 (may take a bit to show up in the download section).

Here are the changes made (from readme.txt):
v1.9 updated includes/templates/simple_zen/common/tpl_main_page for 1.3.7. Have moved the older tpl_main_page.php to the "pre-1.3.7 files" folder. Updates to the stylesheet (cosmetic tweaks, plus 1.3.7 updates). Also added buttons that are new in 1.3.7 in the includes/templates/simple_zen/buttons/english/ folder. Small changes were made to includes/templates/simple_zen/common/tpl_header.php

I assume you're talking about the "shopping cart, contact us, my account" image? There is no step by step tutorial to do that. My advice would be (the easiest way) to create a new header image that has the links in roughly the same spot, so all you'd have to do is upload a new /includes/templates/simple_zen/images/topnav.gif.

If you want different links for the new header, you'd change the links in includes/languages/english/simple_zen/header.php.

If you want to change widths and such for the links, you'd need to manage that with the css in stylesheet_new.css. Its fairly complicated, but you'd want to look for the "#tagline" tags.

Thanks for responding. I guess I will see if I can get it to work on my own.

I've made a small update to this template:

v2.0 update to includes/templates/simple_zen/common/tpl_header.php for spacing gap in IE6.

If you are already running 1.9, the only change is:
Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php and
remove the:

that is directly after:

Wow!
I like that. Its elegant. I wish I were more of an artist and less of a plumber sometimes.

I wanted to make the the shopping cart gif (header) appear only when, there are products in the cart. I see an IF statement already in header to make the "shopping cart" text/link appear, appear if the cart has contents:

  <?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>

can the same statement be applied to the gif? if so where do I place it?

No, that is not possible, as the header gif image is one big image for all three.

How do you get rid of the separator underline for 2 or 3 of the sideboxes, but leave the rest with the underline?

I found I can get rid the underline on all sideboxes by altering border-bottom :

.sideBoxContent {
/background-color: #ffffff;
padding: 0.4em;/
margin-left:.3em;
border-bottom: 1px solid #999999;
padding-bottom:5px;
}

to:

border-bottom: 0px solid #999999;

Would I add ```html
border-bottom: 0px solid #999999;

But cannot find these sideboxes noted in the css, do I create them? and add the code modification? if so where?

Yes, you would create them, and add them anywhere in the stylesheet.

I added these to the end...nothing happened:schmoll: might be wayyyy off, guessing on the code.

.SearchContent.sideBoxContent {
border-bottom: 0px solid #999999;
}

.product_notificationsContent.sideBoxContent {
border-bottom: 0px solid #999999;
}

Did you show me a link to your site before? If you can repost it each time you ask a question, I forget where I'm supposed to be looking, and don't want to hunt and peck.

Thanks.

Got your PM... sorry, I'm so busy answering many different questions, that I forget whose site is whose and what I'm looking at. Posting links (or PM'ing me links) is your best bet.

Your suggestions are close but not quite. These will work:

#productnotifications .sideBoxContent{border:none}
#search .sideBoxContent {border:none}

Great Templete, Simple and Clean.

I have some little bits I would like to resolve, if someone out there can help I will be grateful.

When I use Firefox the alignment of the subtotals and totals is out of wack on the "Payment Infomation" Page

When I use IE the above is OK, but the size of the font on the "Graded" Red headed are very small, also the Login details font is small.

I would like the change the Black outer border colour from black, which one in the style sheet and I would like to replace the "outer" rest of screen from grey to an image, which one on the style sheet.
