Apple Zen Support Thread

flax:

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!

First, remove the <br> that you have above the image, its right above the table.

Then open up includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php, remove this:

Then save it as includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_default.php

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

1. Yes, open up includes/classes/categories_ul_generator and change this zero:
   $max level = 0

to another number, I think 3 is the level you need. Or maybe 4. Test it out and see what you need.

2. I'm not sure. Are you talking about the specials page? Does it happen here on my test site?

Thanks for your answer, I really appreciate it!

To answer your questions:

1. Perfect, spot on. Thank you very much :clap::cool:

2. On the index page, if you look at the bottom (Monthly specials for this month), the items were listed on a line for themselves. This stopped happening after having more than 2 items in the special category, so it's working fine now, I'll just have to remember to have more than 2 items in there :)

Thanks again :)

Dear Jettrue,
your advice worked great as usual.

You are too good to be true.......
but you are true!

Hi Jettrue

Firstly I just wanted to say that your template is great
You did an awesome job on it

I was just wondering if you can let me know how to change the font color for "Home, Log In/Out, My account" at the very top of the page?

I can manipulate the font under this heading in the ccs #navMainLinks {
But not the font color

I dont want the whole sites font changed
Just that one line

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance
Julie

Thanks for the compliment.

For example, to change the links:

#navMainLinks li a {color:#ffffff;}

When hovered over:

#navMainLinks li a:hover {color:#333333;}

Thank you so much, that worked perfect!

I looked through everything to work out which one to change
But I didnt even think about adding in a new section to cover it

Hope you dont mind if I ask one more question?
Is it possible to have the category page the same as the sub category page?

Example of a category page: http://www.everglen.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1
Example of sub category page: http://www.everglen.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_3

So the main category page would list the items in a single row and have its discription showing, just like the sub category list does

Even if you could point me in the direction of the two (or more) files that controll these settings, so that I can replicate from one to the other

Thanks
Julie

how do i change the size of the logo.gif and get rid of

"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/"

I read thru a bit but couldnt find out how to fix it, thx.

Read the readme. :smile: Especially Step 4 and 5.

I've searched high and low, and believe I'm just not looking in the right places..

I was considering Apple Zen which looks very clean and simple.

My question is that in the demo it looks like it displays products one over another vertical. Is there a way to have the product images in the New Products section to just simply show images side-by-side (say 3 across) with price below?

Then the user can click the image to go to the regular vertical display info view.

I find that looking at the New Products in a vertical sense on the home page seems to clutter a screen. But it's def a great place to show new products...

Again, looks great ad I'll most likely be using it - just want to be sure I can accomplish the above.

Thanks!

Hi, i'm new to the forum and just have a quick question, i wanted to add my EZ pages to the drop down menus, so follwed the instructions from a previous post but have incurred a slight problem, i now have two menue headers, one in the correct position and a new identical one at the top of the page.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

No, the New products page is set to be like that in zen cart. But the regular product pages can be that way. And on the home page, the new products box should show them horizontally as well.

Well, it looks like you added the menu twice to tpl_header.php.

Hi Jettrue,

I really like the template and was hoping to install it today.

only trouble is when i try to download the zip file i get an error message saying the file is invalid or currupt.

is this something you can help with??

Many thanks

Hi Jettrue

I couldn't manage to install Cherry-Zen so I went for Apple-Zen instead, all installed ok.

I am in the UK and I use VAT, but what I have noticed is in the shopping cart parts 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 don't show the word VAT in the columns, it shows the figures of what the VAT should be but not the word VAT to explain what the figures are.

Any Ideas? I have better together installed, but that shouldn't make any difference - should it?

Thanks,

Phil

PS You make great templates, I am so pleased with Apple!

Hmm, I've never heard of that issue before. What are you using to open the zip file?

If you switch to the default template, does the VAT title show up? HMMM, let me know.

Also, could the VAT title for some reason be a different color, so that you can't see it? View the source of the page, and see if the word "VAT" is where it should be.

Jettrue,

I've tried on another computer with Win-rar and all seems to be fine. i was previously trying with win-zip.

all sorted now, but thanks for coming back to us.

Hi Jettrue

I am having trouble with my menu showing blank lists for submenus and occasionally the first item super-imposes over the main menu bar.

I believe this problem has been addressed with upgrades but because I have heavily modified my menu and css, I have used Winmerge to transfer colour changes etc when upgrading to 2.5, and I can only assume I have inadvertantly overwritten the necessary changes to correct the problem.

Can you point me in the right direction to know where the essential parts of the css and other files are so I can address this issue please?

My advice is to start with a fresh copy of the mod, then change the colors back to yours. I don't have an easy answer for why the menu might be doing that, sorry!
