Apple Zen Support Thread

johnga:

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!

John

This is your problem:

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

remove the /* before it. If you don't want your logo to float: left, simply remove #logo from the above list.

Then remove this section so your logo does not resize:

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

#logo img {
width:100%;
}

As far as product clumping, I didn't see that, however I would change your image settings. If you set width of your product listing images to "0", and set a specific height, then all the product listings will look more "aligned", as the images will all be the same height, just different widths.

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!

IF you're talking about a banner ad, you can use the Banner Manager under "Tools" on your site. The Banner ad can be set to "rotate" between more than one ad if you want, and it can click to some other link, and it's links would be tracked.

However, if you are looking to just add a static simple image, I would go ahead and upload it as logo.gif.

Call me stupid but ("ok..you're stupid!) I can't seem to figure out how to get the banners to the top pf the page, rather than the bottom???

Another question please - I'm not sure what the specific terminology is here, so please bear with me!

The template lists the categories ABOVE the pull down menus, across the top. How do I remove those, yet still leave the pull down menus in place?

Thanks!!!

Just upload a logo that size, then remove this section from the css:

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

#logo img {
width:100%;
}

This most probably has nothing to do with the template, I'd ask this question in a separate thread.

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

Did I tell you how awesome you are? Thanks so much for your help. I never would've figured out what I did to my CSS without your help.

Still having an issue with the categories. I assumed it must have to do with my main page configuration, but I swear, I have every last thing in "Index Lising" turned off (set to zero). I recall seeing the "Categories - Always Show on Main Page" option in other installs of the cart I've done but it's not on this one. Is it possible to just alter some code on the back end somewhere? I really just want to start with a "blank slate" when I start putting general content on this page.

I mis-typed, go to "configuration", "Layout Settings", and find the "Categories - Always Show on Main Page".

Hi, i'm mostly new to the Zen Cart world and have been fiddling with templates a little and have come to like yours very much. The client also likes it very much.. but.. and please excuse me for asking what may be an unpardonable sin (and i have tried to search this thread re this question with little success) but.. is it possible to display the menu boxes on the left only rather than the right only? I am not entirely without a clue as far as CSS goes and can fiddle PHP a bit...

Would i be better off to just use another template thats got the left on and disable its right column?

Much appreciation

Craig

There's instructions for doing that in the readme file.

:blush: I seem to have overlooked the obvious.. go figure.. thanks so much..

Great work btw on the template.

Craig

Howdy all!

Thanks Jade for such a master crafted template. Beautiful,...absolutely beautiful!

I have three questions...if I may.

1. The first one I feel very stupid in asking, but I have been looking and tried all the "normal" said fixes but to no avail...

Where is the "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution." Editing file? I do not even see an "index.php" file in the "incluedes/languages/english/apple_zen/" folder. Am I missing something. I've been searching the forums for 4 days now. So It's not like I didn't try to find the answer.

2. on my website...btw it's not live yet located at http://www.organicplanetonline.com/zencart/
   how does one display the catagory pix horizontally instead of vertically?

3. Finally, in the right hand side boxes, the "Catagory drop-down" feature is squished. How do I unsquish it?

Ok thank's for the help, and the absolutly fab template. Oh and above all, your generous time and energy to help those not as good at these things.

Thanks for all your support. I am progressing with the template. When I view the product description page in IE7, it displays nicely but is misaligned in Firefox. The checkboxes and radio buttons appear to the left of the image as shown

On the checkout success page, I noticed that the Navigation bar started around the middle of the page and to the right of the page.

I would appreaciate your advices on how to make corrections.

Thanks
