Apple Zen Support Thread

dreamweaver is one of the text editors that I hear does not play nice with this store software...neither does frontpage.

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish in the line of edits but seems rather drastic to abuse the coding with that program...lol

a link to the site, even if it is not looking right, is always helpful for others to give a better answer.

Hi,

No I understand doing design to the template in dreamweaver might stuff up the site. But I only write my html in dreamweaver for the defines_pages... I cant get the text to line break or follow left, right and centre alignment.

My site is on my computer running under WAMP so not online...

It worked fine with the ZenCart template, not a problem at all using dreamweaver coding in main_page or the defines_pages...

Are there some code in template.css that override the rules I put into the defines_pages.... All the text is chucked to together like almost on top of eachother..No spacing between sentences etc...

I'm only using plain simple html, nothing else...

Does this make sense?

maybe dreamweaver is adding something else but if it is working in default template then it should work in the others too. are you using this apple zen template?

I manually add the html or use netscape communicator (old yes but works well) to do my tables better. the only thing is I do replace the <br> with <br/> cause that is coughed up as an error if I don't.

But I have manually used <p> many times with no trouble at all.

Have you tried installing a different template to test it out and see if the file still does it.. As far as I know there is nothing in stylesheet to govern the editors to use.

It is breakline that is not working as it should. I use the latest version of Apple Zen on 1.5.1 ZenCart... I have noticed now If I put in a couple of more <p> it works but not with just one <p>.... E.g. one <p> will not give a breakline but <p> <p> will give one breakline.

If i test it in another template everything works fine, no issues...Just this Apple Zen template...

This netscape communicator does it work like a text editor?

Hmmm...mega wierd...The Apple Zen template responds with <br> (got a breakline) good but not <p>? I just tested it on one of my product descriptions and it worked straight away...But why not with <p>...

that is weird but yes happens in some things with even the <br/> when used. I am not sure why either since I myself have had to "fix" it when reposting the newsletter for our store into our forums. Sometimes also if the closing part of the paragraph is not there it will break it up a bit. I tend to sometimes forget to add that </p> too

I miswrote, I meant to say Netscape Composer, it is really old but still works great and yes it will do the same in some places with those breaks. It does work like a text editor and allows you to make your tables and floating the images to the left/right of your text and resize the images to suit your needs also. I learned how to do things with it which is why I still have it around.

Later I just edit the links or whatever in the documents I post that do not need but minor changes. Also Once you get your page to be the way you want it and don't require much in changing it up later---you can do it straight from the tools editing area.

I have both the html editor that comes with ZenCart and CFkEditor too and really like the latter for eyesight problems I have at times....cataracts get in the way at times...lol

Interesting, would be cool if anyone found what is making the problem. Anyway, I will just have to use the find and replace function in Dreamweaver and replase all </p><p> with <br>, lol... This will take a long time...

Hi All-
I have searched everywhere on here, as far as I know, for a way to delay the dropdown menus using the css3 Transition tags with no such luck. My main issue is that when the mouse slides off the menu, which is very easy, they have to start from the top again which is driving some of my customers nuts! Has anyone tried this before? I just need to try and figure out where to put the css. in the regular stylesheet.css or in the stylesheet_header_menu.css.
I am testing it out on my trial site (http://petetrial.midwestbusparts.com/) on the stylesheet_header_menu.css

line 91
/*My attempt at delaying the dropdown menus*/
#nav ul {
	transition:         opacity 0s 1s, z-index 0s 1s;
	-o-transition:      opacity 0s 1s, z-index 0s 1s;
	-ms-transition:     opacity 0s 1s, z-index 0s 1s;
	-moz-transition:    opacity 0s 1s, z-index 0s 1s;
	-webkit-transition: opacity 0s 1s, z-index 0s 1s;
	}

before i monkey with the full site. here is a link to my example that I would like to do. https://github.com/Prinzhorn/delayed-css-drop-down Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a couple of minor issues I'd appreciate help with:
1, I have changed the font of page titles (enlarged, centred and greyed). But on product pages, where the name is too long for one line, it is causing overlap. Is there a way to change the line spacing?
2, Is it possible to make a full width logo / banner to go in the white space at the top? (What width should the banner be for a standard width display?) I realise I will need to disable the auto resizing, but I am hoping it will make it more compatible with mobile phones etc.

Site in question is AinleyOrganics.co.uk

Thanks in advance.

Martin

Sorry, forget number 1, I added "line-height:120%;" to the stylesheet and fixed it - been a long week ;)

Not sure what I did here LOL

My menu is not centered when I extend the browser window, using chrome

Thanks in advance :)

Disregard

My old eyes missed

About Us is missing in the Define Pages Editor on my 1.5.1 site. I checked the readme, and confirmed that all the following files are in the proper location. What am I missing?
==includes/extra_datafiles/about_us_filenames.php
==includes/languages/english/apple_zen/about_us.php
==includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/about_us.php
==includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_about_us.php

Can someone help?
Apple zen 2.6 installed, but the check out steps look like missing images, snap shorts attached below

I don't think that has anything to do with the template.

But

Go to your zencart zip/unzip it and reupload the images for the default template and then check to see if the template (apple zen) has image to upload too and upload them too.

they may have been missed or corrupted when you initially uploaded them to install the store---you did manually upload them to install the store right?

Howdy all

I want to turn off the sideboxes on applezen only on the index page

I think this is what I need to modify but not sure how

// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

$header_template = 'tpl_header.php';
$footer_template = 'tpl_footer.php';
$left_column_file = 'column_left.php';
$right_column_file = 'column_right.php';
$body_id = ($this_is_home_page) ? 'indexHome' : str_replace('_', '', $_GET['main_page']);
?>

Nevermind just me again

Founf my soultion again soon as I post

//the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}
if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

I think everybody should not use this template, it does not support responsive.

Wow, I didn't realise what a popular template this was with all the support.

I am using Zencart v1.5.1 new install
AppleZen template (new version)

My original issue was with the About Us page not displaying. Not sure if this has been covered or if it affecting others?

But I fixed it by reverting back to the old about_us_filenames.php. It seems that the code:

// About Us Filename Defines
define('FILENAME_ABOUT_US', DB_PREFIX . 'about_us');
define('FILENAME_DEFINE_ABOUT_US', DB_PREFIX . 'define_about_us');
?>
wasn't calling the DB, but the old one:

// About Us Filename Defines
define('FILENAME_ABOUT_US', 'about_us');
define('FILENAME_DEFINE_ABOUT_US', 'define_about_us');
?>

works fine, for me anyhow.

Not sure if this will help others or not.

Thanks for such a nice template.
