Apple Zen Support Thread

imageriot:

Hi jettrue, thankyou for such a lovely and easily customisable template, with the help of the forum I have almost got my site looking exactly how I want it, the only problem I'm having is centralising #navCatTabs. It currently snaps to the left side of the screen and I cant find a workaround via css, I assume that if I can find the div I can simply add <center> tags like I have done for a few other areas, I just cannot find the div, any ideas?

That div comes centered in my template; however its wrapped in another div that goes all the way across the page. Now, if you want to prevent the color of that outer div going way across the page from left to right, you can change #navCatTabsWrapper's background color to white (or to match whatever your background is).

And not sure if you're concerned about XHTML strict complicance, but if you are, don't use the <center> tags to center anything. Use <div align="center"> or even better, add the tag you want to center to .centeredContent section in the css.

Hi Jade - I have a question concerning the Return Authorization module. The Readme gives the option of placing the active link for this module in either "Information" or "More Information," both of which are located in the sidebox. I would prefer to add this link to the drop-down menu instead and turn off the "Information" module completely. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks - Tim

Look three posts up. ;-) You'll just add the link manually to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear. I have been unsuccessfully attempting to introduce this bit of code from the Return Authorization module into the tpl_drop_menu.php. It would place the link for the module in the drop-down list so that I could eliminate the information sidebox:

if (DEFINE_RETURNS_STATUS <= 1) {
  $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_RETURNS, '', 'SSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_RETURNS . '</a>';
  }

However, my complete lack of PHP know-how has me at a disadvantage. It doesn't seem to follow the same sequence as the code around it, thus I have no examples to follow. I want to place it second in the list after shipping info. Could you tell me how to go about doing that?

Thanks again - Tim

Try this:

	  <?php if (DEFINE_RETURNS_STATUS == '1') { ?>
      <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_RETURNS); ?>"><?php echo BOX_INFORMATION_RETURNS; ?></a></li>
      <?php } ?>

Jade would you be so kind plz to help me fix a small problem in categories box right column, I have installed enhanced categories which works great have changed its css to reflect th colours in the template, hopefully without any problems.

Change .sideBoxContent to this:

.sideBoxContent {
font-size:1.1em;
padding:0;
}

Try this:

    <?php if (DEFINE_RETURNS_STATUS == '1') { ?>
      <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_RETURNS); ?>"><?php echo BOX_INFORMATION_RETURNS; ?></a></li>
      <?php } ?>

Hi There,

Ok, I made a bunch of changes to the shopping cart section. Instead of going through each issue, I'll just paste the big chunk of css code. :thumbsup: You will replace everything between:

.tableRow, .tableHeading, #cartSubTotal {
height:2.2em;
}

and

.cartAttribsList {
margin-left:1em;
}

Here it is:

.cartProductDisplay, .cartUnitDisplay, .cartTotalDisplay, .cartRemoveItemDisplay, .cartQuantityUpdate, .cartQuantity, #cartInstructionsDisplay, .cartTotalsDisplay   {
	padding:0.5em 0 0 0;
	}
	
#cartProdTitle {
	text-align:center
	}

.cartUnitDisplay, .cartTotalDisplay {
	text-align:center;
	padding-right:0.2em;
	}
	
.cartQuantityUpdate input {
	margin:0;
	padding:0;
	}
	
.cartRemoveItemDisplay input[type=checkbox] {
	float:none;
    margin-bottom:1em;
	}

#scUpdateQuantity {
	width:1.8em;
	}
	
#scProductsHeading {
	padding-left:2em;
	}

.cartQuantity {
	width:4em;
	}

.cartNewItem {
	position:relative;  /*do not remove-fixes stupid IEbug*/
	}

.cartOldItem {
	position:relative;   /*do not remove-fixes stupid IEbug*/
	}

.cartBoxTotal {
	text-align:right;
	font-weight:bold;
	}

.cartRemoveItemDisplay {
	width:5em;
	}

LMK how that looks for ya.

Excellent Jade thank you very much, I have moved the site to primary domain now at@

http://www.juliestoys.co.uk

I do seem to have a slight problem with the product listing row being quite fat.

And remove button to the left seem up and right of the quantity box, is this something I may have done to the php file:shocking: in my messing session.

Again thx a bit closer now to adding actual products.:thumbsup:

Hi, this is my first post here, firstly, I love this template, it works well for me.
I am fairly new to Zen and have spent the last 2 weeks learning how over-rides, css and php are glued together.

I do of course have a question, on my create account page, it works fine in Firefox and IE7, but in IE6 the form drops down below the sidebar when it is displayed. I have seen this issue on another Apple Zen site, but on other people's it seems to work OK.

My Create Account Page is here

Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can I see a working site or an image like before, I can't envision what you're describing.

Thanks, it's a school boy error! I started reading all the previous posts, but after about 2 hours I gave up, even though I have learned a huge amount. This is a really busy thread! I will search harder next time.

My create account page is working now.:yes:

Thanks again.

Hi Jade thx for the reply, I was unable to get a screenie of the issue, as the site took a turn for the worse.:cry:

Unknowingly I had lost the ability to edit categories in admin I was getting a php error all the time, I dont know what was causing and I have posted on the forums, but as yet not one reply to it, so forced to start from scratch im affraid.

I get you a pic soon.:thumbsup:

Here we go jade, and again thx for your help.

I have to work backwards now, and edit css from scratch from this forum.:thumbsup:

If you're talking about the height of each product row in the cart, that is because of two <br />'s after the quantity box.

You'll have to open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default and find this section:

and remove one or both of the <br />'s after the </span>. I'd do it in both places.

As far as the remove button, it looks fine to me?

Jade, I have to echo the compliments to this design. It's really, really nice.

Thank you for taking the time to make such a clean and well thought out template, and for helping everyone use it. I got mine running without any trouble at all. (Yay)

Here are a couple questions I didn't see anwsered yet.

1. How would I manipulate the CSS to make the site a fixed width, in pixels?

I'm using a flash header (rotating through various products), and I'd really like it to have it fill the whole top, without the width of the site being variable at all.

2. I added the flash header alright (in a header.php file) but the logo still shows up below the flash in IE. (But not in FireFox). (Basically, a big flash header with the logo beneath)

How would I kill this logo image the best? Or, would it work just as fine to make the logo.gif a 1px X 1px transparent gif?

Thank you very much, and again, your template has made the complete rebuild of my site worthwhile.

I think this will get you close...

change all 70em's to 820px
change all 71em's to 833px

If you want a different width, you'll have to play around with the centercolumn sections to get it to work and center nicely.... cause of the left and right shadows.

As for the logo, just remove that section from the header.php if you're not using it.
