Apple Zen Support Thread

I was wondering if your nice template is compatible with "minimum order" module?? I can still check out (when less than minimum is ordered) when using the "CheckOut" in the drop down menu or the one in top line. :unsure:

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

Sunabac:

Thank you for your directions, but after switching display to 800 X 600 I don't think I will be touching it.. It looks fine with 1024 x 768 or higher. I wonder how many people still have 800 X600??? Or can we "ignore" them??

The majority of people use 1024 x 768 now. Here are some stats:

http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

It says 58% are at 1024, and 17% are at 800. I don't know that I would yet ignore that group, especially since it still looks fine for people at larger resolutions.

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

DogTags:

You have the following in the apple_zen README:

  1. Goto your Zen Cart administration...

Under the "Tools" menu choose
-Template Selection
-Edit
-Choose "Simple Zen" from the dropdown menu
-Click update

Should "Simple Zen" really be "Apple Zen" ?

HTH :smile:

Thanks for finding my typo. ;)

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

DeFluxx:

  1. I would like to have a background bar behind the type on the top "Home Log In"

  2. When viewing a product Category, I would like to have every-other item have a light color in the background for easier viewing.

  3. On the Product View, after clicking on an item in a Category, I would like to move the item description over to the right so that it is not touching the item's image.

I am not able to find what I'm supposed to modify within the CSS to do this. I am editing the CSS with Adobe GoLive.

I would very much appreciate your help with this! Thanks!

Ok, #1.

First of all, let me ask you, do you want the search box in your header like on my test site (https://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com) if so, that makes #1 easier to solve. You would first go to "Layout Boxes Controller" and turn on tpl_search_header.php. To put it in the header, you'd just leave the left/right column status on off, and set the single column status to "on". Once that shows up, then you'll have the purple color behind the "Home Login". To set the background color, just add the background image to:
#navMainWrapper {
background:#bd95c6;
background:url(../images/YOUR_IMAGE_NAME_HERE.gif);
}

If you DON'T want that search box in your header, well then reply, and I'll help with that.

#2

Use the classes:
.productListing-odd
and
.productListing-even

to set the alternating colors.

#3

There was padding built in the template, but when you made these changes:
.centeredContent, TH, #cartEmptyText, #cartBoxGVButton, #cartBoxEmpty, #cartBoxVoucherBalance, #navCatTabsWrapper, #navEZPageNextPrev, #bannerOne, #bannerTwo, #bannerThree, #bannerFour, #bannerFive, #bannerSix, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP, .center, .cartRemoveItemDisplay, .cartQuantityUpdate, .cartQuantity, .cartTotalsDisplay, #cartBoxGVBalance, .leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading,.rightBoxHeading, .productListing-data, .accountQuantityDisplay, .ratingRow, LABEL#textAreaReviews, #productMainImage, #reviewsInfoDefaultProductImage, #productReviewsDefaultProductImage, #reviewWriteMainImage, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .additionalImages, .centerBoxContentsSpecials, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .centerBoxContentsFeatured, .centerBoxContentsNew, .gvBal, .attribImg { text-align:center; margin: 0 0 5px ; padding: 0 0 5px; border-color: #abbbd3; border-style: none none dotted; border-width: 1px; }

since #productMainImage is in the list above, it is taking on the margin and padding attributes that you added.

I'm not fully sure what your issue is... I've never used that module, but I'm guessing you may need to modify the tpl_drop_menu.php to have the correct shopping cart link?

I see you've made some progress... did you figure out where to put the text? Is it still allowing people to check out with less than $50.00?

well with the following change, I no longer get the "checkout" in the drop down menu (I was hoping the checkout would show if amount =>50.00) well I'll keep looking & trying...

<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a> <?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() >= 50.00) { ?> <ul class="level2"> <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>

I made a similar change in tpl_header.php but once again I don't get the "checkout" in the header at all. However the only checkout is in the middle so it seems o.k. This checkout icon appears when cart =>50.00

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

I've just begun to dabble in the world of ZenCart and completely fell in LOVE with the Apple Zen template! But now I need help configuring it...

  1. The titles of the buttons on the navigation bar are not displaying correctly. For example, one button is called "HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES" rather than simply "Categories"
  2. I'd like to remove two rows that are above the main navbar, one that is displaying my categories, and another that is displaying a menu (EZPages :: Privacy Notice :: Shared :: Zen Cart) which, quite frankly, I don't yet know what to do with.I'd appreciate anyone's help in this matter. Thank you for your cooperation.

You're telling it to show up when someone has 50 or more ITEMS IN their cart, not the value of the cart. You need to figure out how to tell it to check for cart value. Check the coding of the mod, it should have the correct code somewhere in there?

Hi there... the first issue is due to language files not being upload correctly. Make sure includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php is uploaded.

The categories and ez pages bar is turned off via the admin.

To turn off the categories, go to: "Configuration", then "Layout Settings":
Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF

To turn of ezpages, go to: "Configuration", then "EZ Pages Settings" and turn off the header position.

Glad you like the template!

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

Thank you very much for all your help!

I have another question now, of course, under my product listings where I now have every-other one with a background. I would like to have a margin or padding at the top of all of them so they are not so close together, and so the fist one is not touching the bar above. Once again, I can't seem to find the right thing to change within the CSS.

Also, can you tell me, possibly, an easier way for me to find out what elements on my webpage are being defined by which items on the CSS? At the moment, I just go through the CSS and look for items that sound like they might be the right thing, make a change, save the change, reload my webpage, and hope for the best! LOL

Re: Apple Zen Support Thread

Oh, there was something else I wanted to ask.

  1. On my product listing pages, when you can click on the "home" within the breadcrumb area, the hover-highlight comes out below the area for some reason.

  2. Is there a way I can center my headings within the bars vertically, such as "Product Image, Item Name, Sponsors" etc. ?

Thanks.

Ups.. no wonder that "Checkout" does not appear in the drop down or on the top! The mod is working fine "within the middle" I just need to find the correct coding for the drop down and header for "checkout" so that it will appear there in correct time..
Thanks

For those who are also looking for this, I replaced the following:

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() !=0 ) { ?>

with

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->total > MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT) {?>

in two files : tpl_drop_menu.php and tpl_header.php
and all is working well now.
All I have to do now is figure out how to set a different minimum amount for wholesale..

Hi There.

Try adding padding to .productListing-data.

I love Firefox, and use it when developing websites. There is a CSS viewer extension that is handy, and also the web developer extension. I also love the Aardvark firefox entension, it will show you the name of the css section when you hover over it.

Thanks.

#navBreadCrumb a {
padding:1em;
}

  1. That's also due to the same portion that affected your product description padding:

.centeredContent, TH, #cartEmptyText, #cartBoxGVButton, #cartBoxEmpty, #cartBoxVoucherBalance, #navCatTabsWrapper, #navEZPageNextPrev, #bannerOne, #bannerTwo, #bannerThree, #bannerFour, #bannerFive, #bannerSix, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP, .center, .cartRemoveItemDisplay, .cartQuantityUpdate, .cartQuantity, .cartTotalsDisplay, #cartBoxGVBalance, .leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading,.rightBoxHeading, .productListing-data, .accountQuantityDisplay, .ratingRow, LABEL#textAreaReviews, #productMainImage, #reviewsInfoDefaultProductImage, #productReviewsDefaultProductImage, #reviewWriteMainImage, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .additionalImages, .centerBoxContentsSpecials, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .centerBoxContentsFeatured, .centerBoxContentsNew, .gvBal, .attribImg { text-align:center; margin: 0 0 5px ; padding: 0 0 5px; border-color: #abbbd3; border-style: none none dotted; border-width: 1px; }

I would hesitate to do as you did, and set that style to ALLLL of those tags. You have to top padding there set to "0", and that is why. Try changing it to padding:5px 0 5px. Though I can't actually figure out WHY that makes the change, as the tags don't seem to match up, but it does.
