I have a few questions regarding the Drop Down Menu section...

I want to put next to the drop down menus links to the pages from the "Define Pages Editor" (the 'Page 2,' Page 3,' etc.). How is this done?

I also want to change the names of those menus (CATEGORIES to AVAILABLE for example).

I believe those are my only questions at this time. :)

Did you know that this template is setup to automatically add any pages that you setup in EZPAGES to your drop down menu? You just have to adjust a few settings, the instructions for getting EZPages into the information menu are in the readme.txt. This would be easier than getting the other pages into the drop menu.

You'll have to open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php, and move things around. Everything in that page is nicely sectioned off, so you can move the cart section below the price, etc. Then you'll need to adjust things in the css most likely, so just get things in the right order, then I can help you get the css adjusted if needed.

I'm sorry, this is probably a really simple question, but for the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I downloaded AppleZen and know I'm supposed to upload the "includes" folder to my public_html folder and miraculously the files are supposed to appear where they should be and then I can go into Admin and choose AppleZen from my template choices.

I must be doing something wrong as AppleZen does not appear as one of my template choices in admin after I upload the "includes" folder.

This is what I've been doing step by step, I'm hoping someone will correct my mistake.

1. After I download AppleZen I have a folder called "AppleZen" that sits on my PC.

inside this "AppleZen" folder are four items (two folders and two files). One of the folder is "includes".

2. I assume that the aforementioned "includes" file is the one that I need to upload so I copy just that folder and it's contents to my web site's root directory on my local machine.

3. Using Dreamweaver I take that "includes" folder and copy it to the main "/" folder on my remote server.

What am I doing wrong?

I don't see a public_html folder on my hosting server, is it the same as the "/"?

Should I not have removed the "includes" folder from the "AppleZen" folder in the beginning?

Should I be copying the "includes" folder to the "zencart/includes/templates/" folder instead?

Any help would be much appreciated, I've been trying to install this thing for three hours and I'm at my wits end.:shocking:

The includes folder goes into the root of your store, whatever that is. If you have your store at:

http://www.mysite.com/store

then the includes folder would go in /store

if you have your store at http://www.mysite.com, then your includes folder goes in the public_html folder. It goes in the same level that you have

admin
cache
docs
download
editors
email
extras
images
includes <-- it goes here
media
pub

Now, after uploading, make sure by looking at the remote site, that everything did indeed upload into the right spot. Also, if includes/templates/apple_zen/template_info.php didn't get uploaded, the template won't show in the admin.

Dear Jade,
Thanks for your kindly help.
Now I have set special price for my products to let it shows two price there,but I want change a little the text organize like this:

What can I do?
Thank you again.

My 3rd-level subcategories are displaying weird. Is this something to do with the template?
See http://www.ilasco.co.uk and select GEAR > POLICE > and then click on SPECIALIST UNITS.
The layout one level up [eg. when you click on Police] is fine

Thank you... I got it to install... I knew I was missing something simple....

Its because of the category image. I'd turn it off under "Configuration", "Product Listing", "Include Product Listing Sub Categories Image".

Or, includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_categories.php, and add

<br class="clearBoth" />
``` after

As far as getting the "Our Price" in there, you can add it in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template/tpl_product_info_display.php by changing this:

  echo $one_time . ((zen_has_product_attributes_values((int)$_GET['products_id']) and $flag_show_product_info_starting_at == 1) ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : '') . zen_get_products_display_price((int)$_GET['products_id']);

to this:

  echo $one_time . ((zen_has_product_attributes_values((int)$_GET['products_id']) and $flag_show_product_info_starting_at == 1) ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : 'Our Price: ') . zen_get_products_display_price((int)$_GET['products_id']);

But as far as getting rid of the percentage off and such, I'd start a new thread about that in the general forum.

I don't want the EZPages to show up under the Information menu. I have a specific page structure that I need to follow for the pages, which is why I need JUST certain pages to show up in the menu bar.

Example:

Collection --> Ball Pythons | Boa Constrictors | Cornsnakes | Crested Geckos

If you're saying that you want them added at the top, next to your category drop down, Then you need to open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and add those pages manually, following the menu format. However, realize that you really can't add many drop down menu items without running out of room.

Good Evening,

I just installed the Apple Zen and I've been working on it for a couple of hours now, what I don't understand is:

Before the products were aligned in columns on 3 (as specified in the Index Listing).. no problem.

Now, they're showing up in 1 column.. even though the settings in the Index Listings page still say 3...

any suggestions? Where can I look?

Here is the link: www.tuscanywines.net/catalog

Thank you in advance!

P.S. Nifty Zen was a cool template, but Apple rocks :)

Do you have the Layout Grid mod installed on this site? Its not turned on right now, or you don't have the files in the right place. You turn it to "columns", under "configuration", "product listing", "product listing - layout style".

If it is set to columns, then when switching templates, I'm guessing all the files for the grid mod aren't in their proper places.

I actually made my own solution by putting links where the header search is normally. Works pretty good I think. :)

Hi Jettrue,
Just a quick question, maybe theres already a question like this one, is it possible to add a link to the menu? I want to make a prominent link to my main website from my store and I was thinking that if, under the "home" drop down menu if it would be possible to add an extra link like "Main Site" and have it send the people to my main site ie, https://www.thedidgmaster.ca? Not the store. Thanks.

Jade,
great work.
I was reading all 126 pages (quickly :blush:) and I couldn't find a solution.
I have 2 questions.

1.) How can I have the dropdown menu in my language (italian)? I must have made some mistake but I get the proper titles only in english.

2.) What font did you use to make the logo image?

Thanks in advance.

Nico :smile:

1. You have to have the corresponding language files in the proper spots. So anywhere there is a includes/languages/english/apple_zen/ file, you need to have an includes/languages/italian/apple_zen/ file.

2. It is called "Pupcat"

You're welcome!

Oh, and I think you emailed me about making italian buttons? See this post about making free buttons online:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=379914&postcount=759

Also, you wanted to have the cherry zen styling of products. You could do this by uploading the cherry_zen includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_product_info_display to apple zen, and then adding the relevant css changes from cherry_zen to apple_zen.

Yes, that was me :)

Thanks for all your support.
I'll let you know if everything went ok.
