Apple Zen Support Thread

Thank you so much for this template - it is great

if you look at my website http://www.3bagsfull.net you will notice I have made "some" changes and have been able to do much of it myself

however, there are a few places I am stumped and just need some guidance (I will start at the top of the page and work down)

1. I would like to remove the wrapper right underneath the logo box -- it currently has a link to Alice in wonderland -- I believe this section is call ezwrapper or something like that

please let me know what .php file I should delete/change or css stylesheet and how to find this file

2. I have "removed" the drop down menus but still have a visible gap

please let me know how to remove this gap so the grey shadows appear to connect

3. Sidebar Navigation area

I would like to remove the small blue box. I am sure this is an easy fix, but just can't seem to find it

4. the "greeting" that replaced the "Congratulations you have installed zen cart" --- I would like for it AT LEAST not to be bold

and possibly a smaller font if the bold reduction still appears to make the font too large

where can I make that adjustment. again, I have looked around alot but just can't seem to figure it out

thank you sooo much for your template and help

Hello! I have an issue that I think is template related. On my checkout page, my shipping choices on the bottom left are jumbled...how do I straighten them out? THe middle column, I would like the cc images to all be in straight line under "We accept". Can you tell me what to do in my stylesheet to accomplish this? Thanks! Amy

Hey,

I had the need to completely redo my website. I switched hosts and grabbed your wonderful apple zen template. Most everything seems to be working fine however there are 2 small issues I seem to be having.

1. I would like to have the main product images for each individual product page to use the _MED picture file and be a bit larger than they are currently. Right now they are using the default image without the _MED extension. The _LRG extension is working however for the large images.

2. As seen in your demo site under the first Categories side box there is a drop down menu. I cannot for the life of me find the correct sidebox or figure out how to get that to work on my current site. It looks so much cleaner than the standard text menu side box.

My website is https://www.coasttocoastusa.com/zencart

Thanks in advance for any help and Im sorry if these have been answered already.

Hello!
Your template is Fantasic and, definitely, the best one among others. That is why I have chosen it:D
However, I would like to ask you a question about changing the design. I don't want any sideboxes, so I have switched them off in Admin section. I don't have any sideboxes now, but there is still right sidebox "sign" on my screen. For example:

How can I remove this "sign", and also make my pages cross this "sing's" border, I mean center it withing the min page, because right now this sidebox space is like a "dead zone", nothing can be there.
Thanx a lot in advance!

yeah, i have found the answer myself, it seems that everything works fine if we change this part:
.centerColumn {
width:75%;
float:left;
margin:0 2% 2% 3%;
text-align:left;
line-height:1.6em;
display:inline; /* fixes IE Bug in IE6 and earlier - do not remove /
}
in stylesheet to:
.centerColumn {
width:95%;
float:left;
margin:0 2% 2% 3%;
text-align:left;
line-height:1.6em;
display:inline; / fixes IE Bug in IE6 and earlier - do not remove */
}
anyway, thanx for ur template!
and, please, let me know if this solution is not really good...

I have searched the database and could not find an instance of this, and I am at a loss to what I did (I am a noob who is trying to do too much compared to the knowledge I have on the subject).

The order steps is not working properly, instead its just a list of the steps in very small text all bunched together. I have made some small wording changes on the checkout pages, as well as a few other places, but I can't remember this working at all so I'm not sure if it was something I did or not.

Is it possible for anyone to take a look and tell me if it's something that can be fixed? I have all the css and php files related to that part, I just have no idea what I'm looking for!

Thanks for any help. Oh, and the site is undergoing many changes so any critique or suggestions are gladly accepted!

So I found a much bigger problem that I just sent as an email question to a programming guy that helps me out every once and a while...but I was thinking it may be a while before I hear from him so I'm going to copy the email I just sent him...
(the how-to aritlces are not a link or sidebox on the site yet, but you can get to it at cornerhardware.com/how_to_articles

So basically I found a much bigger problem and I'm not as immediately
concerned with the header. Basically upon adding this new template, the
articles and how-to's are not working with it (maybe because they are
outside of the 'includes' folder?). And when I went into my analytics
today I found that basically since I added the new template traffic has
gone to zero! So when I search for some of our bigger traffic drawers, I
can still get to the website (usually an article), however the load time
was really long, and the article was too big and made it so the sidebox
didn't show. Do you think that alone is the reason why there is no
traffic, or did I mess up something with incoming links??

SO...you would think I should just go back to the original template...but
NOW I've altered a few of the files (probably in includes/modules or
/languages) so the sideboxes don't show up on the OLD template! And the
footer is all messed up...I have all the files I've been editing and
backups of them, but I honestly don't know which one affected the old
template anymore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am in way over my head here :/

Hi I have a really complicate question regarding the conflict of drop down menu embeded in AppleZen and JGallery.

I installed Jgallery first and found out when I go to Gallery page, there will be some error notice in drop down menu, which is like: Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in /mnt/w0911/d02/s16/b0316c3a/www/clipontogo.com/includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php on line 63

Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in /mnt/w0911/d02/s16/b0316c3a/www/clipontogo.com/includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php on line 72
you can see it live here: http://clipontogo.com//index.php?main_page=gallery
the menu in the bottom of the page belongs to tpl_main_page.php

After million times of trying I found if I move the drop down menu section from tpl_main_page.php to tpl_header.php, the problem will be automaticly solved, but only in FIREFOX! When I browse it in IE7, the drop down menu will not have level2,3...anymore...
You can see it live in the same address: http://clipontogo.com//index.php?main_page=gallery
the menu below the branding is belong to tpl_header.php

So my question is:
1, Is there anyway to use Jgallery normally in AppleZen without messing up the drop down menu?
2, If move the drop menu section from tpl_main_page.php to tpl_header.php is a correct method, why it's not showing normal in IE7? Any way to fix it?

Thanks a lot!!!!!!

Hi

My Apple Zen Template is superb and works like a dream. However, in the shopping cart, the categories jump from the side box to the bottom of the middle (cart) section.

Any ideas why this should be?

Thanks in anticipation.

I'm having the same problem in IE only. I think I have tried to tackle this before, but as I only have Macs, it's almost impossible to trouble shoot. I now have a bootcamp Mac running windows, and I can see the problem and try to fix it. My right column drops to the left and down in IE. There is also a little scrap of I think EZ page (HOME) at the bottom in all browsers. I would appreciate anyone's help too!

Hi, I havent been here for a while, but am wanting to change the colour of my website...only slightly...am completely lost with this..Cant find an answer and sorry for the double up,as it must be posted here somewhere. I just want to change the colour of the center coloum I think it is. when I go look for it, there is no hex number...It is white so I was looking for the hex white number??so that I could change it.:( so not sure where to go to do this.

ok, now I have found another little annoying problem. I only have one language on my cart. English. I dont have the language box enabled, as it always goes to a blank box. I also notice that in my admin. whenever The 'English' icon is placed it just shows up as a blank box with a x in it. If I right click and go to properties it shows an address. The address is right, but the size of the icon is wrong. I only have one icon uploaded so I am very confused about this. in other boxes in admin, the same thing, but icon shows a smaller size. :cool: Any suggestions would e much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

OK got new problem which is totally weird. Any help will be appreciated.

I have moved the Ezpages on the drop down menu to be by itself rather than part of the information box as it looks neater and it makes it easier when you have a lot of pages. That works fine and the links are shown properly.

The problem is that for some strange reason all the ezpages are showing up in the New Products Sidebox as well. I have tried but I can not figure it out why it is doing that.

The site is now on its own server here http://www.carmo.nl/store/index.php?main_page=index&language=en

Just look at the right hand column near the end. Any help will be great

I want to do exactly the same as you - how did you get the ezpages seperate from the information?
and how would I remove the information pages from the top menu altogether as I don't want the information pages on the top bar (would prefer them only on the side).

Christine

Sussed it - for anyone else who wants to seperate the EZPAGES from INFORMATION or to remove INFORMATION you make changes in tpl_drop_menu.php which is in \includes\templates\apple_zen\common

Christine

I simply want to remove the grey bar from the right hand side of all the pages as I don't want any side boxes (example at http://perivandesign.co.uk/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65 ). I have turned off all the column boxes under tools/ layout boxes controller panel. Also, under configuration/layout settings set the global column status to zero. What have I missed?!!

Thanks for any help!

Ok, I figured out how to remove the EZ-Pages from listing on the Info menu, now how to create new menu with just EZ Pages?

Ok, I have answered my own question. They grey background for the right hand column is an image found in images/content_bg.gif.

Hooray!

Hello forum
I would like to remove the last two easy page items from the drop-down menu. You can see it at shop.nilandsplace.com/radio/
I have tried turning them off for the side box in the > EZ-Pages Select a page ... but this then turns off the side box that I do want. It seems no mater what I do there is at least two of the last side-boxes information links in the drop-down menu. I am using the latest zen cart. I took a look at```
/includes/modules/sideboxes/apple_zen/information.php

Thanks for any help

I would like to use a small gif for the arrow characters below:

Category ‹ (4)
‹Subcategory ‹ (4)

Anyone done this before...any ideas?

Thanks!
