Apple Zen Support Thread

jettrue:

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:

<div class="clearBoth"></div>

right before:

<!--eof-branding display-->

I tried this but nothing changed

Hi. Can anyone help me with this. I have searched the forums but don't seem to be able to find an answer. How do I change the category menu from dispaying the words Discout Coupon to Discount Coupon so the spelling is right. I notice there are lots of apple zen carts out there displaying this error. Thanks.

Dear Jade, Could you please help me, my tagline is getting cut off.

Go to includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\apple_zen\headermenu.php

Search for

define('HEADER_TITLE_DISCOUNT_COUPON','Discout Coupons');

Change this into

define('HEADER_TITLE_DISCOUNT_COUPON','Discount Coupons');

Many thanks. So easy when you know how isn't it. I looked for this for ages. Truly grateful. What a fantastic forum.

:clap:

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!

Ah, OK! I guess I need to find the differences and add tpl_checkout_shipping.php into my "pre-1.3.7" files folder.

I don't think it should give you any troubles....

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... ;)

I'll have to look into that... some time next week after we move.... but good catch! Perhaps someone else will have an idear.

I am pretty good with most php and html problems but the sheer depth of zen cart which is very impressive leaves me struggling a little to find the simplest of things. I am amazed reading these forums how knowledgeable some people are with zen cart.

So far I have customised mine to pretty much where I want it to be using apple zen as the base template. I have managed to include the UK version, integrate PayPal and the Royal Mail new pricing structure and master the coupons and most of the functionality of zen cart. It certainly is a learning curve.

Just a quick question ( I have searched but I must have missed it I am sure it must have been asked before ) but to change the colours in the title headings of products should I be looking at the main css style sheet or is this somewhere else?

chadderuski:

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?

As far as I can find, there's really no way to get this spread out to the whole space. This is because A) different browsers have different default font sizes... so the menu is bigger, and could cause the menu to drop to a second line, and B) as people increase their font size, different browsers round up differently for padding, so again, it difficult to get the menu to the edge without making it go over.

There's probably a little room to play with, to get less space left over, but I figured when designing it it was better to make it look like its supposed to have leftover space rather than getting close but not quite, KWIM?

If you want a larger font, you can make it a tad larger, then reduced the 2em left and right padding. (padding: .6em 2em .6em 2em;)

You're talking about the color of the product name, right? That's probably not already defined in the css, so you'd need to add it:
#productName {color:#ffffff}

Hi!

I'm really sorry, I can't see this quickly, and it's so much harder for me to figure out issues with IE, cause I can't test changes like I can in Firefox. So, I would post a question in perhaps the css forum, and see if someone can help you figure it out. I'd devote more time to it, but I've got to pack pack pack!

I finally fixed that in the newest version. It's been pointed out a few times already here... sorry to all those who have a misspelling on their site! :smartalec:

I'd change #logoWrapperOuter to this:

#logoWrapperOuter {
margin:0 auto;
width:70em;
overflow:hidden;
padding-left:15px;
}

And then I'd change the padding-right for tagline:

padding-right:30px;

And then this is totally unrelated, but I'd maybe take out that last comma in your tagline:

Apple Zen is almost ready to receive products, only two things...

1- Which file handles the size o the tagline in the header?

2- I went and messed around in Admin/Configuration/Images and made changes to some image sizes and now have lost the default settings, and can't get a test products picture to enlarge Slap to the back of the head, same size shows up, I have installed IH2.

Can anyone please have a look at the following settings and tell me what they are?

Admin/Configuration/Images

Small Image Width
Small Image Height

Product Info - Image Height

Thank you. :)

I have figured out header tagline's font size mentioned above.

IH2 can be very finicky. Here is what I do. I set all widths to zero, and give the heights a value, this way the heights are always the same, and the widths change, depending on the aspect ratio of the image.

I'm confused when it comes to adding pics with Zen. I was expecting an easier method.

I' ve tried with and without IH2, sometimes get a larger image but most times it's the same size as the product thumbnail that ends up popping up.

I have tried listing the pics like xxx01 and xxx01_LRG in their respective categories. Guess I just have to get my head around it.

I'm trying to add about 15 clickable thumbnails that can be enlarged, on one product to begin with.

Is there a different module than Image Handler2?

Hi again. Thanks for your help. No not the actual individual products but the main product list of items in each category, where the pages show multiple products. The titles are all in grey / black and I just want to make the titles stand out from all the rest of the text about the products.

:D

A lot of people get confused with image handler.

All you have to do with image Handler is upload ONE and ONLY ONE image. Upload the largest size you want displayed on your website. This is what image handler displays as your large image. Don't upload medium or large images (remove them if you have), and don't upload them with any suffix, just "imagename.jpg" --- no _LRG.jpg or _MED.jpg. Image handler will automatically resize medium and small images for you, based on your image sizes set in "Configuration", "Images".
