Anybody?........Please?

Did you follow the instructions for adding the about me page in the readme.txt? If so, then you adjust it at the Define Pages Editor.

Hello

How do I remove the categories from displaying at the top. Im happy with the category displaying at the drop down only.

Thanks

In your admin, "Configuration", "Layout Settings", "Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF"

That's just normal. I've designed the site so that the width resizes as people increase their font size, and since IE has a font that is larger by default, it will be wider in IE.

Ok, so if I were to change it to fix width, do I simply replace all instances of the "width:**em" to "width:770px"? Would that do it or is there something else I would need to modify?

Thank you..

You'd need to change font sizes to px too, and basically anywhere that is sized with em's. But then you'd lose the coolness :cool: of the site looking the same even if font is resized (sideboxes run out of space, menus run out of space, etc.). Yes things are a little larger in IE... but its all relative. Your customers will probably not be comparing browser to browser side by side.

Ok, to spill the guts...The reason for this is because the LOGO I made at the top has graphics on the right side, so if it is in IE,FF..etc, the LOGO is not displayed properly as it moves to the left with a gap on the right due to it being smaller in those browsers....

Unless there is a good way to go around that, I would have no choice but to make it fix width...Dont' get me wrong, I would much rather it be liquid but LOGO is important in my case.

Thanks...

Hi jettrue!

The help you gave me last time was perfect! But I got another problem now!

My header is perfect in Mozilla Firefox but has a strange red line in IE,

see http://winkel.smileysmart-grow.nl/

How could this be? Css?( I did change some of the settings from em to px)

I would need to see the website to offer some suggestions. Also, if you upload a larger than needed image for the logo, and specify its width in em's as the original logo with the template is done, the logo will resize with the site.

That could be the read from your top and your black from the bottom showing through a little gap between the two.

In your tpl_header.php, try removing the:

Hi Jade

Firt of all let me thank you for the fantastic work that you done creating this template and the time spent for all of us to have a great looking site. Please let know how can I make a contribution to your effort.:clap: :clap: :clap:

But, one more question... :blush:

Where can I find a real good css colour chart? I've been using the one from somacon.com, but I would like to have more "degree" of colous in the same family. The grays are fine but on the others they go from too light to too dark:no:

Thanks in advance

I tried this. None change at all.

The strange thing is the problem only occurs in IE and not in Firefox :huh:

Hi!

This is kind of a neat color picking tool... it also can show you complimentary colors, analogic, monochromatic, etc.

As for a donation, its really not required, but thanks. Instead make a donation to zen cart if you haven't already. :cool:

So I have almost everything the way I want it and went to do a test order and I am getting this message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: in_special_checkout() in /homepages/26/d164447903/htdocs/includes/templates/apple_zen/templates/tpl_checkout_payment_default.php on line 50

I opened up tpl_checkout_payment_default.php and on line 50 I have this:

49 <?php // ** BEGIN PAYPAL EXPRESS CHECKOUT ** 50 if (!$payment_modules->in_special_checkout()) { 51 // ** END PAYPAL EXPRESS CHECKOUT ** ?>

Anybody know what I can do to make this go away? I do not take paypal if that's any clue only credit cards.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

What version of zen cart are you using? In the readme.txt, I give instructions for people who are using a version prior to 1.3.7. That message leads me to believe that you aren't using 1.3.7.

I am using 1.3.5 and thought I followed the instructions properly. I went in an erased all instances of paypal express and did a test order. I seemed to have solved the problem I just hope what I did doesnt have me running into more problems in the future. Sorry to bother you and thanks for your help!

There is that button on my test site. Perhaps you don't have /includes/templates/apple_zen/buttons/english/button_change_address.gif

uploaded?

It's there in my files but does not display...

Did you make any updates to:
/includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping/header_php.php file, (maybe with some mods you added?) which is what establishes the value for the $displayAddressEdit variable. Also open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php and make sure the section for the button is still there (it should be).

I haven't made any changes to that one that I can remember, but I just put the 1.3.7 zen cart code into the header file and the button's there now :o) I hope I didn't mess anything up since my cart is 1.3.6 Looks good though. And tests fine too. Thanks!

Jade,

I don't know if there is a reasonable solution to this, but I noticed that when I use the header menu to navigate to a sub-category, that the bread crumb trail does not get the full path:

home -> sub3

instead of:

home -> sub1 -> sub2 -> sub3

not a css issue that i can see, but the code for bread crumbs.

What do you think? Zencart's search function honors the breadcrumb path so the code is there somewhere... ;)

Also, on a different Header Menu subject....

What do I need to do to set the header menu to stretch to fill the whole space? I'd like to eliminate the left over spot on the end. It's not necessary for the look I want, but would be nice.

I have fiddled around in here, but keep breaking layout. Also trying for a slightly larger font. When I use a larger em the whole menu breaks out of the 70em width.

Ideas?
