Hola!

I am assuming I can post this here. Awesome template!

I have installed it here: http://tenseinobi.com/shop/

I want to change the gray right side bar & add an image. Where do I find that in the style.css?

Thanks!

The gray right bar is actually controlled by an image, content_bg.gif. You'll have to open the image and change it there. :)

Hi Jade,

Hope all is well...

I have followed all your instructions and all is good. I have made good progress today fixing up a few other things as well.

I took your advice on the logo and ended up having no side bars on my header. I couldnt find a quick fix for that so just made my logo width 100%, proper amatures solution i know but it will do the job :)

I have 1 last thing wrong with my site. Chances are thaat a lot of other people using the narrow header may have the same problem.

after changing the file stylesheet_header_menu.css switching the 2 instances of 70em to 75em results in the drop down menus spanning over 2 lines instead of 1 in internet explorer 7.

I done a bit of trial and error with the size and i think it was about 73.9 when it starts going wrong. One thing i noticed that may help with a solution i was nudjing it up by increments of 0.1 but could never get the drop down menus to cover the width of the page fully so is it a wrapper / border problem?

I tried changing the width to 100% and that also resulted in drop down menus over 2 lines...

Any Ideas?

Cheers

Colin

You had no sideboxes on your header, because you removed this:
#logoWrapperOuter {
width:75em;
margin:0 auto;
overflow:hidden;
}

from your stylesheet (it was originally 70em, I changed it to 75 for you)

as for the IE menu issue, keep it at 75em, but try decreasing this number in stylesheet_header_menu.css bit by bit till it goes away:
*width:16.649%;

Hi Jade,

Just one last quick message to say thanks for eveything. Again you have delivered everything is working spot on.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes

Hi Jade,

I'm using 1.3.8 verison. I have signed up with Aweber (an autoresponder service), have integrated an optin on the main page AND have ordered a "custom parser through AWEBER" for the back of the house. The purpose of this parser is to ensure that after customers order the product through the zen cart site that their email information is captured for 10 days of autoresponders.

MY QUESTION: I need to direct the follow up emails, through ZENCART, to "[email protected]". How do I do this? :frusty:

I just love Apple Zen (thank you, thank you, thank you):D

http://www.GreenGardening101.com :blush:

I believe I figured it out (and it was quite simple :huh:)! In Config, Email Options there is a setting "send copy of order confirmation emails to" and I added the email address to aweber that I needed.

I hope this helps someone else! Lynn

Hi Jade, I am a newbie to Zencart. I have installed your amazing template, but I am having a difficulty - the Add to cart button is not displaying in the products listing - I tried from the admin side but nothing works. I also check other message in this thread but could not find any hints. What can I do?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Fred

Hey Jade,

I am not sure whats going on but when my website loads the drop down menu flickers before it loads and it seems to be taking longer then it should. COuld you please take a peek and see if this is normal?

Hi Jade- Absolutely love your template, been using since October for a our client mustangseats.com

We just installed Testimonial manager 1.5 and have a curious thing happen which I cannot for the life of me find a solution anywhere. I am sure it is something within the css but some guidance would be helpful. Clyde over in the Testimonial support thread suggested I try this thread....

If you go to www.mustangseats.com/cart/index.php everything looks fine. When you click on the sidebox "Testimonials" link Read More or View All Testimonials the Apple Zen Template shifts. This happens to all browsers regardless of platform. I am a complete loss as to the cause of this.

These lines of code were all that were added to the stylesheet.css

.testimonial {
color: #000;
padding: 0 5px 5px 5px;
text-align:left;
}
.testimonial p {
margin: 0; padding: 5px 0;
}
.testimonial span {
float:right;
}
.testimonialImage {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}

Any thoughts?

Reupload the includes/templates/apple_zen/images/ folder

if not showing still, see if you change to the classic template if it shows up. If NOT, its probably a setting in your admin. Dig around more in there.

Hi Jade,
Thank you so much for the quick response.

Remove this:
#testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;}

This line of code is no where to be found in the stylesheet.css nor anywhere within the site so I am not sure where to go from here or where to remove the code you mentioned. The lines I added originally were

.testimonial {
color: #000;
padding: 0 5px 5px 5px;
text-align:left;
}
.testimonial p {
margin: 0; padding: 5px 0;
}
.testimonial span {
float:right;
}
.testimonialImage {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}

Please forgive my questions... I am fairly new to Zen Cart and all the wonderful world of Add-Ons and as I have added more and more to mustangseats.com the more I have learned about the beauty and capabilities of the Zen.

Hi Jade-
Clyde on the Testimonial Manager thread pointed me to the right files- display_all_testimonials.css and testimonials_manager.css

replace the following line of code:
Code: #testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;}

with this
Code: #testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;width:76.8%;

The change got me closer- I will tweak the % to get it as close as possible
Thanks again for all your help- You are awesome.

Thanks Jade for your reply.
I looked and everything is fine in my template folder but still not working. even with classic. I looked in the admin section but didn't find anything either. Any idea?
Thanks anyway for this wonderful template.

Something else not related:
Would you have any idea on how to disable the possibility for customers to create new accounts. I only want to enter each client on the admin side for them to be able to login. One way to limit access to my shop!

Well, it was on your site, because what I pasted here, I got DIRECTLY off of your testimonials css file, LOL.

It was this one:
.testimonial {
color: #000;
padding: 0 5px 5px 5px;
text-align:left;
}

That you or someone you know edited since I copied off your site.

What page are you looking for the add to carts to show up? Could I see a link?

As for your second question, no, I don't.

I wonder if someone can figure-out why I have a pink line to the top right of my header - ie. to the left of 'shopping cart' on this highly modified version of Apple Zen http://www.dreamacres.co.uk/cart/

I added the pink border to headerwrapperb & c, but I don't understand why the pink line is continuing so far up the page. I want it to end as it does on the right hand side.

Well between Clyde on the Testimonial Manager thread and Jade on this thread, we got all the pieces to this puzzle and fixed the issue-

Or you could do as Jade suggested in her post on this issue.
Just delete that line of code altogether.

---

Clyde

Once Clyde directed to the files where code was, I followed your advise Jade. Well mostly... Instead of just removing the code, I just remarked it out. (I hate deleting original code) That did the trick-

So if others have the same issue here is what I did with the wonderful instructions and guidance from Clyde & Jade.

In the /includes/templates/apple_zen/css folder, I opened the

display_all_testimonials.css, testimonial_manager.css and testimonial_manager_all_testimonials.css.

Found the very first line of code:

#testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;}

and changed to

/#testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;}/

Thanks again Clyde & Jade- You are AWESOME:clap:- This is why I love open source software
