Apple Zen Support Thread

Actually - would it be in the headermenu.php file? If so, how would I edit only the actual header images?

Thanks!

I have a few issues I am not sure how to fix...

First, I would like my category/subcategory images and names to repeat/wrap accross the page and be centered instead of being listed in one column to the left...see pic.

Also, I would like to make some chages to the way my items and descritions appear in the detailed view...see pic.

(1) How can I delete the thumbnail and name of the category on the page. The category tree is already listed in the header, so I don't want it to show again rightbelow it.

(2) Is it possible to move the Product Count, "Previous", "Listing", and "Next" Buttons to display between the "Write Review" and "Tell a Friend" Links? If so, how?

(3) I would like all the desciptive text to be justified to the write of the image, instead of wrapping around it. Another acceptable option would be for all the descriptive text to be justified to the left and below the image. (The first would be preferred though). How can this be done?

(4) How can I delete the text "This item was added...etc..."

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you to everyone who puts so muc work into these templates and support forums!

Whenever you are searching for text to change, use the "tools", "developers tool kit" in your admin... it is your friend. :smile: No need to stay up late hours searching. Search for a portion of the text above, and it will tell you exactly where it lies (hint, it's in a language file).

Thankyou, love the template. I don't want to change much just colors and that sort of thing.

I have also been trying to get rid of the To change any of the site colors etc... and I removed it from the language files leaving the '' and in between blank as I want my logo to go all the way across.

I included logo size in header.php so the height is correct but not the width and the text to the right is still there.

Is there any where else I need to change?

And where can I change the font color for the Home and Log In links right at the top?

Thanks again.

Hi! LOOOVE the template. I'm working on my revision. This is the first time I've worked with ZEN so if I am asking in the wrong place please let me know.

Everything looks great - except for when I go to the specials page my sidebox flips over to the left side instead of the right side. I have everything set on default for the template for now.

Is there some place else I'm supposed to indicate the boxes to go to the right side?

how can i change listing template to reflect zen style product listing?

This is how i want it: http://citystylefurniture.com/index.php?main_page=products_new

This is how it is now: http://citystylefurniture.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_27

Anyone can get zen lightbox working with the template?
The lightbox always gets under the css menu

Can someone tell me why the home page is coming up short? See here http://dreamevent.com.au/

Also, I am still trying to gert rid of the To change any of the site colors, open up includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet.css. To overwrite your own logo, upload your logo.gif to includes/templates/apple_zen/images/ message below my logo. Anyone know where?

And will the column lay out grid and column divider pro work with this template?

Thank you.

One more issue I found and need help with.

I am entering the text into the info pages, atm I've only done the shipping info page. On the editor I am entering paragraphs for some reason it is not displaued the same on the page. http://dreamevent.com.au/index.php?main_page=shippinginfo

I have redone it several times increasing the paragraph size to see if that would make a difference. Is there a setting or something in a file I need to fiddle with?

Thank you.

Thanks so much Jade, for getting me started in the right direction, but...
what I had envisioned was that, like the side box image headers, each top level navigation button would be different - ie Home, Shop, About, cart, etc., with the nice font graphics I made, but this way, the same "shop" button goes all the way across the nav bar, repeated for every level 1 entry.

(see attached screenshot)

That's why I was wondering if I needed to edit the dropdown menu template itself, but I was scared of messing something up.:dontgetit

Thanks again for all your help, and for a fabulous template!

You will need to give each section its own id in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Like so:

<li class="submenu" [B]id="catalog"[/B]><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a>

<li class="submenu" [B]id="categories"[/B]><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?></a>

<li class="submenu" [B]id="information"[/B]><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_INFORMATION; ?></a>

<li [B]id="contact"[/B]><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US; ?></a></li>

<li class="submenu" [B]id="cart"[/B]><a class="noLine" href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>

<li i[B]d="cart"[/B]><a class="noLine" href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>

Then you can give them each their own image in the css.

thanks for your reply.
Yes, I do remove the below files
includes/modules/main_product_image.php
includes/modules/additional_images.php
and I also restore back this 2 file from my backup copy
includes/pages/popup_image
includes/pages/popup_image_additional
but the problem is still there. I have go through several times of every file but still cound't find the mistake.....can u help me??

do you have any of the IH2 files in your custom template folders? Such as

includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/

I've been trying to turn off Specials as the link in the drop down takes me to a page that switches the right column to the left..completely. Can not find the control for that and am perplexed it happens only on the Specials link...not site wide.

I've set the layout box controler to "right" and "off" and turned Specials off in the configure>Index listing ...all options concerning Specials is "0" or off.

You can see this at the Home drop down menu, Specials, here: http://www.thethreadedneedle/shop

Any insight appreciated

Subcategory images issue:

You changed this:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
	float:left;
	}

to this:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
	float:center;
	}

A) There's no such thing as float:center;, B) When you have a list of css things like the above, never change all of them, only change the one you actually want changed. SO, if you want the logo to no longer be "float:left", simply remove #logo from the above list, like this:

.centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
	float:left;
	}

Then the other stuff that NEEDS to float:left, will still float:left.

1. admin, "configuration", "product listing"

2. same as #1, change next/prev to bottom

3. Add to css:
   #productDetailsList {float:right}

4. "catalog", "product types" edit the product general layout

You have the answer to your question in your question:

Whenever you are searching for text to change, use the "tools", "developers tool kit" in your admin... it is your friend. No need to stay up late hours searching. Search for a portion of the text above, and it will tell you exactly where it lies (hint, it's in a language file).

Font color for Home and Login, you change in the stylesheet.css:

#navMain a {color:#ffffff} (put whatever color you want)

http://nwfashionista.com/store/index.php?main_page=specials

This is a missing feature in zen cart, it doesn't add any default text when there are no products.

Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_specials_default.php (if it is not there, use the one from includes/templates/template_default/templates, but save it in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/)

Add this:

<?php if ($num_products_count ==0) {
 echo TEXT_NO_SPECIALS; }?>

Right after:

<h1 id="specialsListingHeading"><?php echo $breadcrumb->last(); ?></h1>

Then open up includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/specials.php (again, if it doesn't exist, get it from includes/languages/english/, and save it in includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/) and add this:

define('TEXT_NO_SPECIALS', 'There are currently no specials. Please check back later.');

how can i change listing template to reflect zen style product listing?

This is how i want it: http://citystylefurniture.com/index.php?main_page=products_new

This is how it is now: http://citystylefurniture.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_27

You'd have to learn how to write PHP, LOL, zen cart does it like that by default. You can go to your admin, "configuration", "product listing", and there are some things you can change there.

Anyone can get zen lightbox working with the template?
The lightbox always gets under the css menu

Don't forget to use the search this thread feature, at the top of this thread. You could have found the answer easily there, anyhoo, this is the answer, from a previous post:

A search revealed it was in the file "stylesheet_lightbox.css" found in /includes/templates/apple_zen/css/

I made the modification (increasing z-index:100 to 1000) and everything appears to be working well now.

Thanks again Jade for a great template

Instructions:

Try changing the z-index on this section to 1000:

#lightbox {
left:0;
line-height:0;
position:absolute;
text-align:center;
top:40px;
width:100%;
z-index:100;
}

Yes, the column layout grid and divider pro will work with this template. I answered your other question (removing text) already, and it looks like you fixed the home page coming up short issue?

add to stylesheet:

[QUOTE=jettrue;561435]do you have any of the IH2 files in your custom template folders? Such as

includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/[/QUOT

Thank you Jade, the paragraph padding worked, I placed in row 304 for anyone else who may be wondering.

About the other 3 issues, I did use the developers tool kit and that sentence does not appear in any file but for some reason it is still showing. I will try again and let you know.

However, I have not worked out the issue with the home page comning up short, don't even know how it happened. The site is http://www.dreamevent.com.au

I really appreciate your tiem Jade, I have 4 kids myself and can appreciate what it's like to find the opportunity to sit at my laptop.

Kind regards.
