Download the newest version, and add the text in additions_to.htaccess to your .htaccess file. I think that'll take care of it. :cool:
Thank you for your help.....that did the trick!

I was wondering how to add a button to the navigation bar. I wanted to add a button next to the shopping cart button. Also I would like to know how to add like another page like under the information button. I am adding a faq page and would like to add it in either of those two spots which ever one is easier. Thanks for the help.

To add the faq page under the information button, just open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Find the spot where you would like the new link.

Say you want it underneath the unsubscribe link.

Just find this part:

and add the link there:

As for the button, I'm still not positive what you want to do. You want an actual clickable button like with an image? Or you just want to add another item to the drop menu at the end, and have it look just like the rest of the menu?

Well I am looking at adding another button on the navagation bar. Like next to the shopping cart button I would like to put a button that I could put a link to another page. I would like this button to link back to the main site which is www.clglampwork.com cause the shopping cart is within the same domain but in its own folder. As for the faq I have the faq module located here http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=329 that I was going to install. I was wondering what i would need to do to have this under the unsubscribe button. I have attached a picture with the spots labeled and circled where I would like to add the buttons. Thank you very much for all the help!

Ok, sorry for the confusion, LOL... You're calling it a "button" and to me, a button is like clicking "Submit Reply" when you finished writing a post. Adding a button to the top menu would require a different method, than just adding a new link to it like you would like to do.

The FAQ button underneath unsubscribe instructions are in my post above.

To add the new link after "Shopping cart" first find this section:

<?php } else { ?>
      <li><a class="noLine" href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
      <?php } ?>

Directly after that, just add your new link:

<li><a href="http://www.clglampwork.com/">Name of link here</a></li>

Thank you for all of the help. I tried adding the link next to the shopping cart but it shifted down to the next line. I would like it to be located next to the shopping cart link. You can see the shopping cart here https://www.clglampwork.com/zencart . I realize the text is too long and causing it to go to the next line but I was wondering if you knew of anyway to make it work on that line and fill up the rest of the purple bar. Thanks for all of the help.

Instead of having the link next to the word shopping cart. I was wondering if it was possible to add it to the top bar where the words home and log in are. If possible I would like to add this to the right side or that bar. To clarify I am wondering how to add a link above the logo in the bar. Thank you for you patience and help.

Hi!

You would do that in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php.

Find

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
          <?php }?>

and add this right after the above:

<li><a href="http://www.clglampwork.com/">Name of link here</a></li>

I tried to add the link but it is not showing up. I tried different things to get it to work but it is just not showing up on the site. I am adding the link to the includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_main_page.php I have attached the file for you to double check. Thank you for all of the help. I really appreciate it!!!

Look closer at my example. You put the :

before the

It needs to go directly after that.

I noticed something that is giving me some trouble to fix. This happens on a fresh installation so I know it isn't something I broke.

I believe it has to do with the ContentMainWrapper. When clicking on certain links like usually product on a page the wrapper appears to go 100% wide before redrawing. This gives the page the appearance of blinking white between clicks but only in the area below the header. Kind of annoying. This is even with a very fast connection (3mb).

I am pretty certain it's a CSS issue... somewhere a div is going 100% wide before being redrawn.

Anyone manage to fix this? I tried to search for a solution, but didn't have any luck.

Thanks.

This is not a default issue:

http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com/

As far as I can see, it does not occur on my test site, but does on your site. I would investigate into changes you have made?

The issue is because you added your background image to

#mainWrapper

In my original css, I have the background image set to body. If you do the same, your issue will go away:

body {
background:url(../images/site-bg-royal.jpg) 0 0 repeat-x;
}

Thank you for solving my problem but I was wondering if it was possible to put it on the right side of the page where the search box would normally be because I want that link to be separate from the ones associated with the shopping cart. I have the header search box turned off. Thank so much for all of the help.

Hi jettrue,

We are new zenner and like your design very much. We have few questions for you regarding customization of apple zen.

1. How do we remove the six pix from the bottom of the following url? A handful of our products have the same issue, some with one or two pix.

2. How to add another 'add to cart' button on the top part of the page, next right to the product name?

http://peg2u.com/catalogue/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=5

3. We noticed that product listing are shown differently than subcategories product. How to make subcategories product listing same with those new listing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jade - I'm sure this has been covered as I've found refrences to it thoughout the thread. However, I am still not clear how to do it correctly.

I would like to place an ezpage link of my creation into the dropdown "Information" menu. How do I go about doing that?

Thanks very much for your help.

1. your names are too similar. Zen cart has a nifty feature where you can have additional images just by having the same starting letters, with numbers following. All of those images begin with n73.

2. I've helped someone do that before, but it didn't work. The cart didn't like it. :blink:

3. I'm not sure here, can you show me the two pages that are differing?

a)http://peg2u.com/catalogue/index.php?main_page=products_all&zenid=4a93d0500a77800e453ab012dd2e72f5

b)http://peg2u.com/catalogue/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=14

We would like to show our product list (a) to be the same with (b)

For question 1) our previous post, could we solve the problem if we upload our pix in different folder?

Lastly, how to disable zen cart from showing 'Units in Stock' in product info ?

Thanks

I just can't get my brain around how to achieve this. :huh:
Can anyone tell me how to go about it?

Thanks again.

Hello, I want to keep the structure of this template but edit the images and the colors.

How should I do this?

Thanks in advance

First off I just wanted to say I really love this template so I decided to switch to it today but I have one problem as you can see in the links below the text and some images overlap. I'm sure this is an easy fix but i'm not sure where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Below are two examples how can I get the text and images to align properly?
