Apple Zen Support Thread

Hello all,

I've a similar problem with the previous guy on the navigation bar...

whilst his problem is not uploading the right files (i.e. some files missing), mine is the different tabs in the navigation bar won't appear!

as u can see from the pic below, the navigation bar only shows HOME and CATEGORIES. its supposed to show other tabs like MY ACCOUNT, INFORMATION etc.

i've been using the developer's toolkit to search all the files and i just cant seem to find out what is wrong. I've checked the tpl_drop_menu.php file and the coding seems intact, so is the header.php file.

am i missing a file too? please advise! >___< thanks in advance!

Re -- "whilst his problem is not uploading the right files (i.e. some files missing), mine is the different tabs in the navigation bar won't appear!" I also had this exact problem with only the Home and Categories menu buttons showing up. The cause was also (as for alexisthemovie) that I'd not correctly uploaded the apple_zen directories/files. I fixed my problem by (re)dragging the apple_zen includes folder into the zen-cart (very top) directory so that all the files were correctly placed, allowing the zen-cart override system to work as designed. After reloading apple_zen, voila, all the top drop down menu buttons were in place. I did have to re-do some customization to files. While missing, or mis-located, apple_zen directories/files may not be the cause of your problem, perhaps try re-loading. If you've not done massive customization, it's a quick thing try. Hope this helps.

hey there

i've tried the overrides already. didnt seem to work either... in fact the HEADER_TITLE error thing appeared, which i find is quite weird...

okay more info, my site was transferred to this domain from a dummy site previously. could this transfer have caused the error? we basically just cloned the whole site over and the navigation bar became like that >___< oh dear

Re: "in fact the HEADER_TITLE error thing appeared"

Tell me this: do you find these two apple_zen files located exactly in the directory paths shown below?

1. zen-cart/includes/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php
2. zen-cart/includes/includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Am usually pretty good at figuring stuff out but have gotten stuck.

Am trying to use the define pages generator to make some new pages. Have created a page called "Party Plan" fine through the tool and then uploaded via FTP.

I added:

if (DEFINE_PARTY_PLAN_STATUS <= 1) {
   $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PARTY_PLAN) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PARTY_PLAN . '</a>';
 }

To includes/modules/sideboxes/apple_zen/information.php

and that worked fine to display the page in the information side box, it didn't show it in the drop down header information menu though.

To get it to display in the drop down header menu information subcatergory i put:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PARTY_PLAN); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_PARTY_PLAN; ?></a></li>

in includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and that works to a certain extent. It puts HEADER_TITLE_PARTY_PLAN as the menu text whereas i just want Party Plan. Now i assume im missing some file that tells it that HEADER_TITLE_PARTY_PLAN = Party Plan.

Overall i think adding extra pages is a bloody pain of a task in zen cart(nothing against apple zen template, its a awesome template). It is so much easier in cubecart...

thanks for any help.

Website is https://www.countrywoodencrafts.com.au if you want to have a look.

Are you using Tools>Define Pages Editor, or Tools>EZ-Pages?

neither

If you mean you want to see Party Plan in the drop down Information menu:

1. what you have in tpl_drop_menu.php plus
2. /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/zen-cart/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php

define('HEADER_TITLE_PARTY_PLAN','Party Plan');

You are missing files too. Keep checking, I promise that is your issue. Either you have them in the wrong folder, or you have the folder spelled wrong, have things capitalized that shouldn't be, etc.

Hey there Jade,

I've checked and double checked i finally found out which files i were missing

apparently i was so hung up on the modules and templates files i missed out the classes and extra_datafiles folders :oops:

everything works now! THANKS! :clap:

Hi I just applied the Narrow Header and im having issues with the header shadow on the right hand side. What have i missed?

jettrue:

That is of course possible, it's just a matter of being able to create the coding for it. Basically you need some php that says
if category_id=(number of category you don't want), then,
Don't show.

If you open up includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php, you might be able to do something like this:

$categories_query = "select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd
where c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
[B]and c.categories_id !=3[/B]
and c.categories_status=1 " . " and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' " . " order by c.parent_id, c.sort_order, cd.categories_name";

> 
> And change the number 3 to the category id number of the category you want to block.

This works perfectly. :smile:

Is it possible also to exclude all subcategories of 3, for example 3_4, 3_5, etc without listing them by name?

jet true your PM mailbox is full, can u assit me here

I have the Applezen Template working beautifully on my WAMP localhost server, now i need to FTP/transfer it to my hosting provider... is it as simple as that? Or can you help me in the right direction.... when I tried the ftp transfer and went to my site it said that wampserver config not found. It seems that when I set up zencart in WAMP all of the files are setup looking for the WAMP server. what can I do ... please help me get in the correct direction. One last thought, I can install a new zencart installation on the hosted server no problem but then how do i get all of my heavily modified Applezen info over to the working zencart on the server from my WAMP? Any help would be appreciated.... I am almost there!! Thanks Charals
