sethererm:

I was wondering if there is a way to update the navigation to have the links stay extended - not disappearing.

I have already moved the menu over to the left and made it so it is a vertical menu. What I now want it to do is to stay open. I don't want it to drop down and then close when I move over the next link below it.

I'm not sure if this is in the csshover.htc file - or if I am missing something in the css file but I am going nuts trying to figure it out! :blink:

If you would be able to help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
Seth

I think this is what I'm looking for too. I'd like the drop-down menu to stay for perhaps half a second if the cursor slips outside it. Currently, it disappears instantly which can be annoying for a prospective customer if they've navigated to perhaps a fourth level category and have to go back to the beginning again.

I've seen it working on other sites but have no idea how it could be implemented.

Otherwise I've almost got my site how I want it now. I love the apple_zen template. Thanks.

This is not an adjustable setting, this is a CSS menu, not a javascript one.

Ahh, that makes sense to me now. Thanks Jade.

I have been digging and digging through this thread (Dang there is a TON of good information here!!), but I can not figure out my logo problem. I figured you guru's could figure it out in a snap!

I replaced the logo.gif with my logo and got it centered, it fits properly and it looks great in FireFox 3.x... but in IE7, it is not centered (left justified?) and there is a dark horizontal bar beneath my logo (what the?).

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

How do you comment out green and uncomment blue ect.?

Hi
This is exactly the same issue I have but it seems no one seems to know how to resolve.

To remove the colour bar below the logo you can set the colour as I had the same problem I set the background in #headerwrapper in stylesheet.css to my background colour, although I think you also have a background image with that dark brown colour somewhere - "apple_zen/images/site-bg.gif" I would try changing that as well as to be perfectly honest I am not great at this stuff but it worked for me!

Although I still have the bar below the logo but now its same as my background - FF/Safari seem to render it perfect just like your example...

I see you also have the other same issue as me in the the drop down Menu in IE actually covers the top two pixels of the div below it! See image attached

(same issue on my site (see post: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=586672&postcount=2161)

There must be someone on the forum who knows why IE dos this and can offer help to us less css empowered people :)

Andy

First of all, I see a lot of issues in your stylesheet. I think that you think that a # symbol hides css, as I see a lot of stuff like this:

#logo 
{
 /[B]#[/B]width: 19.1em;/* To prevent the logo from resizing, simply delete or comment out this section */
}

#logo img 
{
 [B]#[/B]width: 562;
}

Those need to be gone. If you want to hide css, you can do this:

[B]/*[/B] Hidden Stuff Here [B]*/[/B]

As in the instructions in the stylesheet, simply add:

text-align:center;margin:0 auto

to #logo to center the logo.

Try turning off the ezpages header section in your admin. "Configuration", "Ez-Pages Settings"

/* Hidden CSS Here */

Hide the colors you don't want, and un-hide the one you do. :smile:

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!

Yes... my knowledge of css stylesheets is severely lacking... I admit that I am confused by it simply because I am not familiar... I did not know the correct tags for comments... I was using the old html # in front of... which is the root of my problem. I had made so many changes, it was difficult to figure out which fields I screwed up, so I simply took a new clean approach and all is working wonderfully now!!

Thanks again for this AWESOME template and all the support!

Hello there, really loving this template, thank you. I've done a bit of modification to it, and still hacking away at it. I've noticed that it looks pretty awful in Internet Explorer 6 (looks fine in Firefox, Safari and IE7). The top level tabs of the drop down menu are stacking on top of one another, and stretching across the page. The website is at http://one.valcatohosting.com/~arcademu

I've tried the .htaccess instructions but I'm not seeing any difference, however, I can't be sure if I've done it correctly. My .htaccess looks like this:

-FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess /.?? *~ *# /HEADER /README /_vti

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^one.valcatohosting.com/~arcademu$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://one.valcatohosting.com/~arcademu$1 [R=301,L]

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help with this one. I have searched this forum (which is an effort in itself - loads of posts) but can't really find much on this issue.

Cheers!

First off... thanks for this template, its really saved me alot of time for this project im working on. I added a scriptaculous effect to the drop down menu so the menu rolls down. The problem im having is theres a little flicker from the original menu code appearing then the scriptaculous effect starts. Do you have any ideas about how to disable this from happening?

For reference, heres the domain I'm doing the development on.

Thanks

Do you see the same IE6 issue at my test site, http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com?

The .htaccess will not cause or fix an issue like that, that sounds like a bigger issue. The .htaccess is only there to make the drop downs drop down in IE6. I see you are trying to use images with the menu, that's not easy to do with this menu, though I see you have the image listed twice in your source, so its showing up when you drop down also.

Sorry, no, I'm not sure!

This is my first e-commerce site and I have the template installed. It works great!

I need help changing the drop down menu titles and subtitles. I want to change them to different words as well as add more subcatagories if possible. The shopping cart title and My Account title are not showing up as well. I read all the posts here and still could not find a clear description of how to do it. I'm sure it is just me being a noob. Any help or links is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

From the readme:

2. To change the text used for the dropdown header menu links, open up includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php

Then that file will tell you to look in includes/languages/english/apple_zen/header.php for the login and shopping cart links and such.

The subcategories are added automatically when you add subcategories to your store via your admin.

Hi all.

I've recently taken over the role of administering and designing a web shop which is based on Zen Cart with a modified version of the apple template.

I'm currently getting into all the documentation (still got a long way ahead of me), but there are two things that I want to fix that I haven't been able to find any documentation about yet:

The web shop's URL is: http://www.cottermc.com.

1. When you click on categories -> Tyres -> 17", you see a huge list of different sizes. Is it possible to stop Zen Cart from automatically creating the sub menu's that come after 16", 17", etc.? So the user has to click on 16" and then goes into the category overview?

2. If you browse the web shop with IE6/7, the images for "Monthly specials" are shown on a single line each, whereas Firefox displays them in a row, the way they should be. Does anyone know what might cause this? I've tried changing the image sizes, checking the .css, but haven't found anything so far.

I'd greatly appreciate any help!

Best regards,
Northy

While the menu is working fine (besides the flicker that you mentioned) in firefox, you might want to try using IE to open the webshop.. I don't get the menu at all when opening the URL.

I'd like to remove the white line (under the line with grey diagonal pinstripes) that separates the skis in my home page (please see http://www.skipros.eu).
Can you help me?

I use this opportunity to thank you again for your great template!
