Apple Zen Support Thread

Jettrue,
Thank you again so much for all your help! Everything you said worked, of course. I will definitely try your Firefox suggestion.

I guess I'm not really sure where/how to install the files.

How did you install the files that were successfully uploaded? You just have to make sure all the files are in the correct folder. The files in the download are organized in the correct folder structure, and somehow you have to get them on your server in that same folder structure.

So, I need to put them in the folders on the server that they are in on my computer?

Yes.. but it sounds like you don't really know what it is you're doing so my advice is if you're working on a live site to have someone help you.

I think I about have it, just some minor problems:

Okeedokee. Looks like you've recently upgraded a store? It looks like you didn't upgrade the database. Perhaps a search on the forum with that error message at the top of your site would help.

Also, did you go to the admin, and go to "Tools", "Template Selection" and choose "Apple Zen" as your template? I'm confused because some of your source still refers to template_default.

From a quick glance, you also need to upload:
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php

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.
The majority of those in 800 x 600 resolution are shoppers. I don't like 1024 resolution, but I guess it's because of my vision problems, which I will have to deal when upgrading my computer, since I won't be able to set it to 800. :(

It's amazing the lot of people that don't know how easy is to change the resolution setting, some of them don't even know it's posible. :blink:

And yet even more people don't know that you can change the default dpi settings to enlarge fonts when increasing your resolution. Here's a good article on that topic:

I hope this isn't a dumb question. I'm working on upgrading and I added your fantastic template. The upgrading part isn't really important other than the fact that this is the first I've worked with the ez pages. So, my question is...when you create an ez page where is the info written to? I'm trying to figure out how I add an ez page to the drop down header menu.

I know what file to add it to, but I'm confused on what to call the new page. Example, the checkout page is referenced like this:

Is there an EZ_PAGE defined somewhere? I hope this is making sense.

Thanks,
Chris

It's certainly not a dumb question, though it would probably have been better posted on one of the threads about EZ-Pages.

Very quickly then, when you program an EZ-Page the information is written to your database. However, you can program a link to the page by following the instructions here in the FAQ.

great template! thanks!
i have a question, if i would to remove some menu voices like "my account" and "shopping cart", how may I modify tpl_drop_menu.php? what i have to remove?

Go ahead and open up tpl_drop_menu.php and have a look around. It should be fairly self explanatory. To remove "My account" remove this section:

      <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a>
        <ul class="level2">
          <?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_NEWSLETTERS, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_NEWSLETTERS; ?></a></li>
          <?php } else { ?>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
          <?php } ?>
        </ul>
      </li>

Thanks for the help!

With what program are you getting these warnings???

Hi,

Very nice template. In our store we have MANY categories. When I click on our categories it shows about half of them in the dropdown but there is no way to scroll down to see the rest. Is there a solution for this?

One other issue I noticed when testing this is the placement of text. In FF the text starts far to the right of of the left side and crosses over the grey area. Yet in IE7 the placement is correct. I have not made any css changes yet as I am just looking to see if this template will work for us.

Thanks

Rick

Ok, I have figured it out. I had no sideboxes showing. Once I turned a sidebox on everything lined up just fine.

Any page that I access. This is my first week using Firefox (since it was mentioned so often here..) so I am looking at "Error Console" to see what is happening.
I am running 1.3.7....

Solved the other issue I was having and am still wondering if there is something I can do for the issue in the above quote.

Thanks
