Apple Zen Support Thread

jonisolis:

Jade, now that the EZ page links are showing up in my header I now have a white line/area running from one side of the page to the other. How do I fix that in the CSS? I am seeing it in the Firefox browser.

You can change this:

#navEZPagesTop {
background:#fff;
}

to this:

#navEZPagesTop {
background:#fff;
width:73.8em;
border-left:2px solid #FF0000;
}

I have been avoiding posting, but I can't seem to find a solution so here it goes...

My Search button acts very funny....

1. The "search" image button is not overridden by the search button in the template package...

2. I cannot get the search to just show up on top (in the navMain) and not in the lower part as well...I think it was coded this way, but can't be sure...

Any suggestions?

The zen cart search button defaults to just a default form submit button. On my test site I have the updated Css Buttons installed, so that is why it is using my custom button.

You can override this function by opening up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php

and make line 19 match line 17.

As for the search, try making sure that in "Tools" "layout Boxes Controller", you have tpl_search_header.php OFF for the LEFT/RIGHT column status and ON for the header only.

How to display the categories dropdown menu in the right sideboxes for this template?

I am trying to get it to display the Categories drop down in the right sidebox as in the example, I cant find where that would be in the admin/layout box settings though.. can anyone point me to it?

Thanks for this!

That's something I added separately, and will be adding to the download section soon.

Ahh thanks! Nice touch!

On an unrelated question- looking right now for changing the pct display for the logo.gif... ? Thansk for the quick reply and great job with this!

Technically, I should set all boxes to SINGLE???:yes:
(even though most properly work on both settings)

Hmmm, Why?

Single is for the mods that have been coded for somewhere on your site other than the left or right sideboxes (like your search header). If you turn single ON, and sidebox OFF, it won't show up in any sidebox. If you have both single AND sidebox ON, then it will show up in the sidebox, and would only show up elsewhere if its programmed to do so.

jettrue:

Hmm, do you mean you want the banner image in the right side of the header to be lined up with the right sideboxes?

I had made the body wider and the header didn't align the way it did before, so I just put it back the way it was. I've just made all of my products and articles skinnier!

I have to tell you again how much I LOVE this template. It is the nicest one out there and takes away the "Zen Cart" look... Wish I had your expertise. Your Pagerank oughta go through the roof!

Jade, does your temple work with ZenMagick. Have you are anyone tried ZenMagick with the Apple Zen template. If so what are your thoughts on it?

I've never tried it, sorry I can be no help....

Jade,

I'm thinking to add "shopping cart" to header section.

(please see related thread: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59136 )

Since this template is your design, I'd like to ask you in advance if you think I would have any problem doing so or if there's anything I should know?

Thank you very much for all your help!

I can't imagine why it would have any issues on the template specifically, though I'm sure you'll have to do some css tweaking.

how did https://www.horse-logos.com change the background color up by the header...

where is that in the css stylesheet?

what was done in order to remove the sides?

where is that?

i don't want to do it to my site, i just want to understand...

i just can't find it

How do you change the name "CATEGORIES" in the drop menu wrapper to something else like "PRODUCTS".

Also, when you click on "CATEGORIES" it takes you to the site map. Isn't there a better page to link the main Categories page to?

Thanks.

For issue #1, that is done in the includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/drop_menu.php

For issue #2, what page would you like it to link to?

Look back in this thread, I think on the previous page, I helped them get that changed. Basically if you look at the source of your site, you'll see the css tags that can be adjusted. The ones up there are #navEZPagesTop, #navCatTabs and #navCatTabsWrapper, and #dropMenuWrapper and #dropMenu.

#1:
I assume I replace YOUR_TEMPLATE with apple_zen but the only file I have there is header.php

#2:
I was wondering if there was a page that lists/summarizes all the categories under the CATEGORIES instead of linking to the site map. Kind of an overview of all the products listed?

#1. oops, sorry, I should have said:

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php

#2. No, there is no such page, which is why I sent it to the sitemap. :yes:
