Sorry I've been slow with my replies.

You can try adding

padding-top:3px to #logoWrapperOuter
This solves the problem in Firefox but not in IE, I added a screenshot.

Here some drastic changes in my in the css file

#logo {
           width: 100%;  
           height: 100%;
          }    

#logo img {
                width:100%;
                height:100%;
                }

#tagline {display:none}
    background:url(../images/2.gif);    
    font-size:1.3em;
    text-align:center;
    padding-top:15px;
    }

Basically I laugh at any that uses IE, but unfortuntaly that is like 90% of all people using the internet.

As for the music... I'm going to be brutally frank here and say it was extremely annoying. In my opinion, music on an e-commerce site is a death sentence. I couldn't wait to close your page after trying to figure out the issue so I could stop hearing the beginning of Could You Be Loved. It's especially annoying when the music is programmed to start automatically, and it re-starts on every single page click. Now, if there is some way to set it so it only plays if a person presses the play button, and so that it doesn't keep restarting, I'd say go for it. But people should be able at this point to choose what they listen to when they shop.

But that's just my .02... it's your site, and you are perfectly allowed to ignore me, LOL! :bigups: Sorry for being so brutal.
That was awesome dude! I laughed my ######### of reading this! I have the same opinion , but the kind of customers I have enjoy this feature.

Anyways I updated the player, autoplay is off and it doesn't keep restarting at every page, there is a slight gap, but nothing can be done about this!

Hello Jade,

In the "body" my background image shows up in IE7 but not in firefox.

body {
background:url(../images/site-bg-blue.gif);

If I change it for a background color, every thing is find, so what to do?

In advance, thanks for your support.

It is ok now, I solved the problem!

Regards,
Pascal

I have looked around and haven't been able to find anything on the subject of Apple Zen working with the column grid mod. I have this installed and have made the changes in configuration>>product listing>> but the products only display vertically on the page.

Any help would be appreciated!

Did you set "Product Listing - Layout Style" to "columns"?

Also realize that the column grid mod does not affect the "New Products" or "All Products" listing, just the products that are in categories.

Hi,

I would like to move the link 'SHOPPING CART' to the very top right of the page - ie. in the same line as 'home' and 'login' [but right aligned. I'd also like a little shopping cart graphic there too. Could you advise how I might do this?

Thanks in advance.

Is there also some way that I can put the search box in the logo area and evenly space out the horizontal navigation buttons?

This may be a very silly question, but I can't seem to fix it. How can I take off the stripes on the side to make them just white? Thanks!

As for your shopping cart link in the header... you can manually add that to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php. If you're not using the search box, I'd put it in place of <?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?>

As for evenly spacing out the horizontal navigation buttons, open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css and replace three sections of css (div#dropMenu li, div#dropMenu li a, div#dropMenu ul.level2) with the code below:

div#dropMenu li {
	position:relative;
	list-style:none; 
	margin:0; 
	float:left; 
	line-height:1em;
        width:16.6%;
	}

div#dropMenu li a {display: block; padding: .6em 0;text-decoration: none; text-transform:uppercase; color:#ffffff; text-align:center; border-right:1px solid #ffffff;} 

div#dropMenu ul.level2 {background:#4f4f4f;z-index:1000;position:absolute;left:0;}

Sorry to all of those who have asked to evenly space out their menu before high2k, but this solution just dawned on me!

Just remove that image from the css:

body {
background:url(../images/site-bg-blue.gif) 0 9em repeat-x;
}

I think you're using the blue one, correct?

Maybe you should stick to your standards. :P Just cause they enjoy it, doesn't make it right, LOL! And will not having it make them leave, more than having it might make someone leave? Now I'm just picking on your for the fun of it. :hug: It's not my beeswax. :flex:

So, the IE issue... let me install an ie css editor on my laptop and see if I can get it to work...

Is there a way i can have the stripes continue on the outsides of the main box?

and also put a footer bar to match the header to box off the site and have it look more finished on the bottom?

Jade,
I took out the stripe section in includes/templates/apple_zen/stylesheet.css and nothing happened. I deleted my temp folders and still nothing. What am I doing wrong?

symmo

right sorted the last prob with the use of EZpages... :clap:

Now how do I make the page color the same as the buttons ? im using grey and have previously been using the darkness template and want to keep the main pages dark so my pics still blend in ? thanks in advance

Symmo

Hey, how do I disable the Privacy Notice and About us in the dropdown menu?

I have tried everything now to change the size of the logo the hieght changes but the width will not im now pulling my hair out i just get a pic on the left with a big white space pleeeeese help !!!!

Great Template, but one minor question. Is there a way to change the grey box circled in this pic to another color?

I've tried looking and playing with different elements but can't find if it's in the CSS or if it's an image? :bigups:

I just went into the apple zen image folder and replaced the stripey image with a plain white one. See includes/templates/apple_zen/images/site-bg-green.gif

I guess you could also do it by going into the apple zen stylesheet and removing the instruction to use the image in the first place. In the stylesheet just change:-

body {
background:url(../images/site-bg.gif) 0 8.5em repeat-x;
}

right ive got a big logo now I had to change the text and put a html link in!

now ive got white around the logo ?! ive changed the 2 sidee backgrounds to a gradient effect but need to chage behind the logo?

also how to delete the top bar with signin and seach on si that the logo is right @ the top of the page?

thanks in advance
