I am trying to update my apple zen and when I did so (I'm using WinMerge) I am now getting an error
> Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' in D:\hosting\member\admin\site1\includes\classes\categories_ul_generator.php on line 28

Any idea what is causing this? $data=array(), is line 28

 
Here is the file just incase it is needed...

I compared the old and new files and tried both of them, but I still get the same error. Thanks for your help!

Never mind....I reloaded the file and the 3rd time it worked. Why the after the 3rd time, don't know, but it works now!

also when I click on a product where there is more than 1 catergory it puts them all in a line on the page like this page -->

http://www.temp-tattoos.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=22

and it also does it on the specials page page -->

http://www.temp-tattoos.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=specials

Cant find out why?
Thanks in advance

Where did this line in your css go to?

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
float:left;
}

My guess is, you didn't want your logo floated left, so you deleted the entire line? :P Add it back, but with #logo, removed.

Hi, thank you for this great template,

Thank you

Since the About Us is not a standard zen cart page, I am not going to add it to the site map page in the download, however, you can do this by opening up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_site_map_default.php and add this wherever you'd like it:

<li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US) . '">' . HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_US . '</a>'; ?></li>

Thanks again for your pointers!
Another issue:
I have an image (centerbox_bg) in the content area of my page. Right now, my girl is missing her head (sad, but true!) and I would like to set the image so it that it starts just under the bar that has "HOME" in it on the homepage.
I tried adding a padding comment but to no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Try changing the background position to:

background-position: center 17em;

in #centerColumnWrapper2

Thanks! That worked like a "charm"!~:clap:

Hi jettrue,

Thanks for all your help and sorry that I skim-read the readme file - I hadn't realised that the narrow header layout would give me the effect I was looking for.
I've added it now and it looks perfect on Firefox but is a bit out on IE. See http://www.keela.co.uk.tango.webhoster.co.uk/catalog/
The client also wants the search button replaced by their own graphic with 'go' on it. How can i swap the button for a graphic?
I actually have the opposite problem as you, Firefox is messed, IE is fine?

Anyway, since you're not using the little striped grey border on the site, remove this section and see if that helps:

#centerColumnOuter {
margin:0 .5em;
width:70em;
height:15px;
}

Then, as for the graphic, I actually use the CSS Buttons contribution:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46705

which is really nice.

But if you don't want to go through all of that,you can open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php and make line 17 the same as line 19, and upload a button image here:
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/buttons/english/button_search.gif

I cant remember deleting this but hey its back in the stylesheet now without the #logo, but still they go in a straight line down the page :(
looks strange on my specials page:-
http://www.temp-tattoos.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=specials

the links I like at the bottom are like on thias site:-
www.mommyandbabyessentials.com

Take a close look at where you added that css:
.centerColumn {
width:73%;
float:right;
position:relative;
margin-right:1%;
padding:1% 2% 0 2%;
text-align:left;
line-height:1.6em;

.centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
float:left;
}
}

No I'm afraid that hasn't made any difference. You can see the effect it [hasn't ]had at http://www.keela.co.uk.tango.webhoster.co.uk/catalog/

Now just need to sort out the width in IE and I would like the white on all the page to be a lightish grey? dont know where to start?

Thanks again YOU ROCK

Did you get the IE size thing figured out? For some reason I had to convert the em to px on the #Logo{} part of stylesheet.css...so it went from:

#logo {
	width:19.1em  /* To prevent the logo from resizing, simply delete or comment out this section */
	}

to

#logo {
	width:305px  /* To prevent the logo from resizing, simply delete or comment out this section */
	}

and it fixed my logo size problem in IE. :dontgetit

I did but if remove any of te } it makes all the products even on the home page go down in a straight line ??? mmmm

Phew, that was hard to find:

#dropMenuWrapper {
width:70em; /* change to width:70em; for narrow header*/
/* remove float:left; for narrow header */
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
height:1.18em;
}

It should be 2.18em

Those were done with the ez-pages contribution, just add an ez-page, and turn on the footer option for that ezpage (be sure to add a sort order).
