Apple Zen Support Thread

Hi again,

Been playing around a bit more, and tried changing this code in headermenu.php:

define('HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES','navbar_shop.gif');

And it seems like a step in the right direction, but now instead of the word "categories" in the display it has the filename for the image I want to use. Somewhere, in some file, I need to change something else, but I've done the developer search for HEADER_TITLE, and cant' find anything.

My deadline for this site is rapidly approaching, and if I can't accomplish this I really need to give the bad news to my client, but I've seen it done elsewhere, so I think it is possible...:dontgetit

Should I also post this in the thread for the menu? I searched there and no one has mentioned anything like this...but I didn't want to double post...

Thanks again!

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

I am having an issue with the text editor. See this page http://dreamevent.com.au/index.php?main_page=index for what I mean. It obviously doesnt look like that when I am editing text. How do I fix it, it's driving me mad. And more importantly how do I keep it from happening again?

Thank you.

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

Thanks for this great template!!

I'm trying to use it without sideboxes but the zip code box (and this box only) goes to right, instead of staying below the text, when I paste the following code into stylesheet.css as per instructions:

#centerColumnWrapper2 {
background:#ffffff!important;
}

.centerColumn {
float:left!important;
width:95%!important;
}

I've enabled the grey color and everything else is working perfectly.
Thanks for any suggestions!!

Thank you.

The main page content is defined in "define_main_page.php".
You can modify the text by downoading the file with a free ftp client (filezilla is a good option) and then alter it with a free text editor (notepad++ is a good option).
I suggest that you use the override method and load again this file in a folder with the name of your template (I think Apple Zen in your case) instead of replacing the original one.
You should have no problems ....................

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

I think that you should use an external text editor instead of the zencart one. (you should use the override system and place the revised file in a folder with the name of your template)
You can first downolad the file (define_main_page.php in this case) with a free ftp client (filezilla is a good option) and then modify it with a free text editor (notepad is a good option).
Finally you upload the modified file with filezilla and you should have no problems.
Let me know if I can be of help.

I think that this tip from the readme file could help:
2. To change the text used for the dropdown header menu links, open up includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php

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

I really don't mean to be a pest, but my client is asking when this is going to be resolved, and I'm still at a loss -:frusty: can anyone help me?? Pleeeeease?
The rest of the site is nearly done and we're supposed to launch next week...
Thanks!

Ok, first of all, you did this:

<li class="**catalog**" id="catalog">

Instead of this:

<li class="**submenu**" id="catalog">

for the "catalog", and the "contact" sections. That'll need to be fixed first off.

Change HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES back to "Shop" in your language file, that's not the way to go.

then in the css, you need to replace your background image section with this:

#categories a, #categories a:hover {
	background-image: url(../images/navbar_shop.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
#cart a, #cart a:hover{
	background-image: url(../images/navbar_cart.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
#catalog a, #catalog a:hover {
	background-image: url(../images/navbar_home.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
#information a, #information a:hover {
	background-image: url(../images/navbar_info.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
#contact a, #contact a:hover {
	background-image: url(../images/navbar_contact.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;

}
#account a, #account a:hover {
	background-image: url(../images/navbar_account.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Add text-indent:-9000px; to div#dropMenu li a to hide the main level text.

Then add:

div#dropMenu ul li ul li a {text-indent:0!important;}

to un-hide the submenu's text.

Change this:

div#dropMenu ul.level1 ul.level2 li {background-image:none;} /*added per jadetrue*/

to this:

div#dropMenu ul.level1 ul.level2 li a {background-image:none;} /*added per jadetrue*/

Add this to your css to keep the sidebox from showing the background image for the shop section, as it also uses #categories

#navColumnTwo #categories a {background:none;}

Err, I might have forgotten something, but that should get you closer.

  1. You did not upload all the files for this template, go through each and every file in the download and make sure it is in the correct spot online.

  2. You can do this in your admin, "configuration", EZpages Settings.

  3. Admin, "Configuration", "Layout Settings", then toward the bottom "Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF"

  4. Admin, "Define Pages Editor", "define_main_page.php"

You might have found 2-4 by searching the forum instead, they're pretty common questions.

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

I can only presume this has been asked before, or the answer is somewhere simple, but I could not find the answer via searching for the life of me.. :blush:

So it is with a little embarrassment I ask, what do I need to edit to change the text found to the right of the logo (which reads '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/')

Thanks

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

Thanks again for this template which is great.

I've a problem with the create account page.
The zip code field (and this field only) aligns to the right instead of being under the text like all other fields.
See: http://www.skipros.eu/index.php?main_page=create_account

This happens only since I modified the template to have no sideboxes.
More precisely when I paste the following into stylesheet.css:
#centerColumnWrapper2 {
background:#ffffff!important;
}

.centerColumn {
float:left!important;
width:95%!important;
}

May be I'm not pasting it in the right position as I do not know CSS as I should.
(Note: I've enabled grey)
Can you help me?

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

http://agapehousenj.org/petstore/

how do I make the images larger? Also I installed the AppleZen template, activated the categories and search(side) then switch it off, but they still show up. In the Layout Box Controller they are off.

Please help.

Thanks a lot for your help. As for Q1, I did not upload all files. The big question is what files I should load (i use zen cart 1.3.8):

  1. I did upload all in /Apple Zen 2.5/includes/templates to zencart/includes/templates, so after loading, /apple_zen will be in zencart/includes/templates. Is this enough? seems not?

  2. I guess that I need to upload all in /Apple Zen 2.5/includes to zencart/includes. if so, i would mix some apple zen files with zen cart files. For example, files in /zencart/includes/extra_datafiles. is this right?

I read previous posts, some people had similar issues. you replied in #31. But I am not 100% sure. I guess the above 2 is what we should do. can you please confirm?
