Apple Zen Support Thread

[QUOTE=vivaraquel;561746]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.

Oops, me bad, I did it this time. Thanks. But an idea on the cut out main page will be appreciated. Cna't use the developer's tool kit for that.

nvm, it's fixed now, dont ask me how. maybe something to do with the header file.

Thanks, my site is now ready for its goodies.

Any help for me...post 236?

[QUOTE=evariety;561726]> jettrue:

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

includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/[/QUOT
is that u mean at include/modeles/apple zen? sorry...i very new on this, so need to confirm more.
If is at this folder I check already, i have delete all the IH 2 file at this folder. I plan if I still can't solve this problem may be I need to redo from start again...but it will take times for me..:(

I think IH2 files are still present, because its still looking for images in the medium/ folder, other than that, I don't know what else to say.

I see you posted at #1996, the number 236 referred to how many times you had posted on this site.

Anyhoo, see this link:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=561452&postcount=1996

I followed the instructions but it did not work at all. everything is the same. Specials is still in the drop down menu and the side boxes shift to the left.

I double checked to see that they uploaded properly.

The website is here https://www.thethreadedneedle.com

Thanks for any help ...prefer to just turn specials off completely as they will never happen at this shop.

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

RSS FEEDER Also gets under the drop down bar on this template.
Please post if you find a solution.

I've also just noticed...did it change? I don't know......
That my forum link does not appear in the Information Drop Down Menu; however, it is in the information sidebox.

In post 174 i found some instruction on the drop down but it added a drop down column. What I would like is the forum in the list under one of the tabs.

Hi All,
My apple-zen site is apparently not working well in IE, and i am at a loss for how to fix it. I am using a Mac, and I have an old version of IE that is my only way of seeing what is happening. In my old version, the menus don't drop down and the right column shifts to the left on many pages (not all). Since 60% of my site visitors use IE, I need to get this fixed. Can anyone help with this? Thanks
John

Hi,
I had a question about changing up this template just slightly. I was wondering if there was anyone who could explain how to change the top navigation from the top to a side bar navigation and then move the drop down menus to come out on the right side?

I can probably figure out a work around with it - but I figured I would check here to see if I could save some time in trying to figure out how to do it if someone else has already done it and wants to try explaining it to me :blink:

Thanks!
Seth

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.

Hi Jade - Thanks so much!

Unfortunately... I'm having a blonde moment of my own :blush: and can't figure out exactly how to work the css. I spent an embarrassing amount of time today trying to work this out with no luck. I did make the changes you gave in the dropdown template, just now I can't get the css to affect it. We are talking about the header menu stylesheet, right?

Any more suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated - as is your infinite patience with all us newbies!

Thanks again

I have edited your template pretty heavily. If I don't get it figured out today I will be working on it again Monday morning - but so far I can't for the life of me get my menu's to display properly. I have moved code around so it is displayed on the left side - and it shows up alright in 7 and 8..just can't get the flyout of the menu to display correctly. They are still drop downs (as that was what they were originally designed for..so I am thinking that may be a problem).

Here is a link to the website I am trying to implement this into:
http://www.tqmeats.com/shop/

What I want it to do is what the prototype does:
http://www.tqmeats.com/new/

Hopefully someone will be able to help me - I will check this off and on today - and definitely more on Monday (going to be away from the internet all weekend :frusty:).

Thank you in advance!
Seth

Ok, I figured it out. What I had to do was change the dropdown menus to have a margin-left attribute in the style sheet. I also found that in order for it to make it so it doesn't scroll all the other buttons down the page there has to be a margin-bottom attribute with a negative value. I made mine outrageous in case they add a lot of products when their site goes live.
I made it have a "margin-bottom:-1800px;" so that way they won't have any margin attached to them and they overlap the buttons located below them.

Yeah if that confused you you can private message me - I'll try to help you out however I can.

Thanks for anyone who looked into it - but...I'm good :wacko: lol

hi Jettrue ~ thanks so much for your work here ~ I'm totally new to zen cart, so I hope my question is not silly... but I am setting up my site and trying to get zen_lightbox to work. Actually, it's working beautifully except the drop-down menu bar doesn't disappear when a product is in lightbox mode.

Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

thanks for any help ~

You'll have to add that manually, as I didn't add that functionality to it, but I will add it to the next version.

You would open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and insert this:

<?php  if ( (isset($phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && $phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && (isset($phpBB->phpBB['files_installed']) && $phpBB->phpBB['files_installed'])  && (PHPBB_LINKS_ENABLED=='true')) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_BB_INDEX, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo BOX_BBINDEX; ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>

where you'd like the forum link.

I missed one set of instructions. Open up includes/modules/pages/specials/main_template_vars.php and change this:

  $num_products_count = $specials->RecordCount();
  if ($num_products_count) {
    if ($num_products_count < SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS || SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS==0 ) {
      $col_width = floor(100/$num_products_count);
    } else {
      $col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS);
    }

    $list_box_contents = array();
    while (!$specials->EOF) {

 $num_products_count = $specials->RecordCount();
  if ($num_products_count ==0) {
	$col_width=0;
  } else {
    if ($num_products_count < SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS || SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS==0 ) {
      $col_width = floor(100/$num_products_count);
    } else {
      $col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS);
    }
  }
    $list_box_contents = array();
    while (!$specials->EOF) {

You can also turn off specials in the admin, "configuration", "layout settings", "Categories Box - Show Specials Link".

Hi,
I first want to say that I love this template. It works perfectly with the rest of my site.

I've run into a small problem. I can't seem to get rid of the "you can change the colors and add your own logo" directions on the top of the page. I removed it from the header.php file. Is there somewhere it would be cached that I am not seeing, or anywhere else that it might be?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Again, Jade,

Thanks for all the help you've given me so far on this issue.
Unfortunately it's still not quite right. I was able to get the images now to show up, but not without the text on top - AND, on the menu items that drop down, I lose the drop down completely. So I was wondering if it's more of an issue with the language file - is there a way to define the text as really the image for JUST this one part? I don't want it to think that every instance of "home" needs to be this image, just in the navigation bar.

Here's the link again, so you can see what's happening - I didn't add the image to the drop down items because we use those a lot...

Sorry to be so dense about it... but thanks for your help!!
