Apple Zen Support Thread

Ok, bunch of problems.

I'm working locally to test everything before going online.
I installed your template following readme.txt instructions.
The first problem I got was a
1054 Unknown column 'pages_title' in 'order clause'
in:
[select * from ezpages where status_header = 1 and header_sort_order > 0 order by header_sort_order, pages_title] error.
I saw another user had the same problem with Cherry Zen but there was no solution for it. So I looked around and I found something on the italian support forum.
Here they suggest for the same problem to copy 3 files:

includes/modules/classic/ezpages_bar_footer.php
includes/modules/classic/ezpages_bar_header.php
includes/modules/sideboxes/classic/ezpages.php

to the new_template directory.

I did so and the problem somehow dissappeared, but, as you can see from the first picture my header is different from the original.

Then, when I switch to the italian language, I get this:

Any suggestion?

Hey there,

I've been searching this thread for the past couple of days before asking anything but I'm wondering how exactly I'd go about doing the following for a music store I'm designing:

Artist & Track Name Price Preview Track Download

I've reviewed tpl_product_music_info_display.php & tpl_modules_media_manager.php still unsure what to do. If you could provide some simple advice, that'd be great.

Otherwise, nice theme :smile:

Any suggestion?Did you also move the language files for apple zen to an italian folder?

That's really not template related, and would be better served in the general forum.

Hi quick question hopefully.
in the stylesheet.css file, the tagLine fontsize is set to 1.3em, when rendered on my site it appears quite small.
Any suggestions on what might be going wrong?
The site in question is located @ http://games.savagesoftware.com.au .

:oops:

Ok, I made it, I made it.. at least I think everything is working.

Now I have a problem with about_us page and the specials page.
I've uploaded all files (both in english and italian language - define_about_us.php).
Also the page in the apple_zen directory (for both languages).

the specials page looks this way, in both languages.

Rotating banner in header?

I've tried using the banner manager using the "Header Position" and it doesn't work. I want the main banner for my web site to change as a customer is surfing my web site.

It doesn't look "quite small" to me, but why not just make it more than 1.3em?

Are you using the newest version of this template?

Please read the banner tutorial in the FAQ section, and there's nothing in the template stopping the banners from working.

Hi - I absolutely LOVE this template and am trying to use it for a client/friend of mine.

Here's the URL: http://mcduckcreations.powweb.com/shop

I've installed the template from the newest file on the download site but am having a little bit of trouble. The home page of the site is not displaying correctly. It seems to be missing the menus and sideboxes. However, when you click on a category from the top menu, everything looks beautiful. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? It seems to have happened after I uploaded the client's logo. I've since tried to "reinstall" the files to see if I changed something I shouldn't have but it's not helping.

Thanks! (And thanks very much for this contribution!)

Hi again

I'm not sure if what I am asking is possible but I have added a image for the background at the size of 1280 x 873 it fits perfect for my screen. Which is 1280 x 1024 the body settings are

body {
color:#666666;
background-image: url(../images/background-borders.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}

But if I change the screen resloution down to 1024 x 768 you can only see half of the background image.

any ideas or other suggestions into how I can get this to work, the reason of the background is because it matches the rest of the site then it comes to zencart. link below will show you the image.

JanelleTake out the <noscript> from you home page welcome text.

Thank you so much - must have been in the code I copied in just to play with content on that page. Thank you again! I'm sure it's something really simple, but how do I stop the categories from showing up on the main section of the index page?

Thanks!

Hi All & Jade,
Thanks for the template! It really makes my site look good. I am now ready to reveal it to all the other Apple Zenners out there. I have a few little things that I am having trouble with, if any one can offer some help - on my categories page, I am leaving categories without images to keep things looking clean, but I end up with a long left side list, instead of a block -
http://holidaytoyexpress.com/Shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8&zenid=1a0da6e71c94b32a78d1008cdea0b63b

I also seem to have my products clumping in odd, asymmetric ways, even when I change the display numbers.
Otherwise, the template works great, and I appreciate all the work that went into it! By the way, I am a complete Mac person with no access to Windows etc., so if it isn't showing up well in that format, please let me know!

Hi All,

Would anyone mind too much having a look at my store, and pointing me in the right direction of how I add a banner across the top please?. http://www.tierra-norte.com/store

I haven't worked on the site for a week or so, and now completely forget where to do everything! (I know...DUH).

I think I disabled the logo.gif somewhere...but I'm not sure that's the correct place to put it anyway?

Thanks!

Well...I figured out how to get one on the bottom of the page...not having much luck with the top still though . :(

Getting this to resize will be complicated. I think you'd have to create two new divs, that would be 100% wide, one with the left image, one with the right, then as the site window would resize, so would the background? I'm not positive, but it would take a bit of work.

Configuration, Index Listing, "Categories - Always Show on Main Page"

Also, your home page categories are one on top of the other because of a change you made in your css. You didn't want your logo to float left, so you should have changed this:

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

to this:

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

So that ONLY the logo would stop floating left. The other things above need to continue to float:left.

You changed that section to this:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
	}
