Apple Zen Support Thread

jcleftie:

Hi! Great template, BTW. I came across it by accident - meaning an accident made me have to redo everything from scratch. :oops:

Actually, it was on purpose by my host... :censored: so I've changed hosts and am rebuilding. :frusty:

Anyway, I'm trying to refamiliarize myself with the whole thing... I set the old cart up long ago, and for months was just tweaking and adding products so please forgive me for being a bit rusty with the coding of it all.

I changed the logo and removed the sales text that had your template directions on it, but I can't seem to figure out how to center the logo in the area. Please don't tell me it is as simple as adding another define in header.php.... :P

I tried looking to see if anyone else had asked a similar question, but I couldn't seem to find it. TIA!!

That would be done in the css,

#logo {
text-align:center;
margin:0 auto;}

jonisolis:

Dear Jade did you get a chance to check out why my tagline text on the right hand side is getting cut off?

Yep, and I already replied, #716

penzman:

Does anyone know why when in admin/tools/IMAGE HANDLER , all the images I uploaded previously are displayed in full size?

The only place I can see an image setting for ADMIN is under CONFIGURATION/IMAGES/

Heading Image Width - Admin 0
Heading Image Height - Admin 50

I tried changing those but that did nothing.

I get this same issue too. I would ask in Image Handler's thread.

welldon:

Dear Jade,

Thank you for this template!:cool:

I am just working on it to come out with a new website:
www.kopaldiamonds.com/shop

I would like to work on the header next to the logo.gif.
Can I put extra pictures, text, animated gif or flash, there?

In advance thank you for your help.:P

Pascal.

Sure, the great thing about zen cart is that you can do pretty much anything you want. Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php, and you can start there. If you want to replace the tagline, you can replace that with something else.

Hi Jade

I'm almost finishing the changes to your fantastic template and I want to thank you once again for the work you done.

Please, take a look at it:

<a href='http://www.cigarpremium.com'>www.cigarpremium.com</a>

I think its stylish and modern-looking :blush: but...:oops: may be a little dead (I dont know the word in english for this but I think you will understand what I mean...:P)

I think that a nice picture of a cigar or a tobacco field could help. Is there a way to place one in the main page text area, where is the "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen..."?

Thanks in advance

Guilherme

Yes, that is addressed in the newest template, and within a few pages back I've explained how to do it. My internet connection is iffy right now at the new house, so I can't go search for it for you, but don't forget you can search within the thread if you need. You can also download the newest version, and simply find the change within includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Hope your move went well and your getting settled in! I would die if I had to use dial-up again (my first modem was 2400 baud! back in the days of BBS's).

I found the post and made the correction. Thank you. Sorry I missed it first time around.

Hi There,

Sure you can add an image, what I would do is first upload the image to your server, in your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/ folder, then go to your admin, under "Tools", "define pages editor" and choose "tpl_main_page.php", and add the image there, like this:

Hello Jade,

I still can not had a image to background header, but only can change the color with the CSS.

In the default classic template I just replace the "header_bg.jpg" and in the CSS I change the code to:

#logoWrapper {
width:760px;
height:110px;
background-image:url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

This is indicate in treat: "https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=124" How do I change the Header Image.:blink:

In advance, thanks for your help.

Jade, I just had the oddest thing happen! I decided to turn on the shopping cart sidebox to make it easier for customers to see how much they are spending as they go along, and when I turned it on, all of my pages subsequent to that had their displays put into the bottom of my sideboxes, making it impossible to shop any further. I have turned it off for now but could turn it back on for you to let you see what's going on if you say the word.

Nevermind! Just updated shopping cart with image mod and all is now well :)

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:

Specializing in professional horse graphics, logos designs, and clip art**,** for your horse business.

Dear Jade, I made the changes to the CSS like you said but still having the tagline cut off. So I messed with the CSS again myself but still cannot get it right. I used the Ardvark tool in Firefox and can see that the tagline div is too wide; see attached image.
#tagline {
font-size:1em;
line-height:1.5em;
margin:0 auto;
width:70em;
color:#6DA378;
font-weight:bold;
}
This is my coding for now, but it is not right. Thank you for all your help.

remove width:70em; in the section above, and change margin:0 auto; to margin-right:30px;

Why would you replace it in the classic template, when you use the apple_zen template? :smile: You need to upload the image to includes/templates/apple_zen/images

it's not there, because when I go to:
http://kopaldiamonds.com/shop/includes/templates/apple_zen/images/header_bg.jpg

I get a 404 not found.

Well, I did it after reading for a few hours..., It is ok now!, thanks!.

By the way, I did install the Shipping insurance module and get this error message when it is set on "percent"

Warning: Missing argument 2 for zen_add_tax() in /hsphere/local/home/bijouxou/kopaldiamonds.com/shop/includes/functions/functions_taxes.php on line 94

When it is set on "amont" no problem.

Ho, I forgot, Would you have the buttons in PNG, I would translate them to French and English? I would save time that way.

Hi Jade,

I am having two problems.

#1: I can't get the dropdown menu to function on IE6 but all other browsers work (FF, Opera, IE7.)

#2: In IE6 & IE7 there is a line/gap between the navMainWrapper and logoWrapperOuter and I can't seem to fix it. If you change the colors of the background and the navMainWrapper, you will know what I mean.

Thank you so much...

Hi all !

I am new to Zen Cart and i love this template :smile:

.. but (there is always a but) i don't manage to get the "Narrow" version of the template to work. I have made the modifications in the stylesheet.css file as described but it doesn't work: i still have a right and a left column even with an unmodified Zen Cart v1.37 installation ... (see my Attachment).

can someone help plz ? (i have attached a copy of my css file too).

Thanks a lot
Guillaume

Dear Jade,

Thanks for all the help.

OK I tried that, but the tagline and the logo outer wrapper are still too long. I really think I need to hire you to fix this and put the drop shadow behind the whole thing.
