Ok,

Three new issues...

First off how do you edit the order of the "Information" Drop down menu. I also have a few menu items repeated like "Privacy Policy," and "Site Map"

I tried the editing of the information.php file and changed the order in the righ sidebox, but the sidebox and dropdown info boxes I guess are not communicating today...

btw the link is http://www.organicplanetonline.com/zencart/

Ok question 2...

Is there a way to have my catagory pix for my coffee catagory display all 4 images in one row. If it's just a pix size issue I know how to fix that. Here is the link to the page i'm talking about.

http://www.organicplanetonline.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66

Final question...

In my "Tea Catagory"
http://www.organicplanetonline.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=67

The pix on the left is off all by itself while the two on the right are smooshed together. I know the pix are not all the same size, but is there a way to make them display with equal padding between them?

Ok that's all for now.

Thanks so much for all the help.

1. Reupload the original includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Then find the information section there, and CAREFULLY cut and paste links where you want it. They are probably duplicated because you have the links listed twice; this is not default behavior.

2. Yes, open your admin, "Configuration", "Maximum Values", "Categories to List per Row".

3. Their centers are distributed evenly... you really need smaller images there.

Hi Again!
So I needed to move my site to a new server, and I figured I would upgrade to 1.3.8 while I was at it. I got everything moved over, except I have one small CSS problem which I can't seem to fix. Maybe another pair of eyes can see what i am missing. My logo is small, and my footer is pushed to the left:

http://67.210.99.216/holidaytoyexpress/

and it should look like this:

https://www.holidaytoyexpress.com

Any help would be appreciated and allow me to get some sleep!

Remove all those extra stylesheets from your server from includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/. Only have ONE main stylesheet uploaded. They will all try to enforce themselves if they are online.

Thanks! That explains a lot of things. I just assumed that if I renamed them, rather than replace them, I could save them in case I needed to back up a step. I learn a little every day!

hello and thank you for such a wonderful template. i have my headermenu.php file in the following location: includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php. however, when i edited the file, my menu/submenu names are not changing. for example, i changed define('HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US','Contact Us'); to define('HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US','contact us'); but the menu heading is still showing Contact Us (in sentence case). I've checked and re-checked the english.php file but I have not found the problem yet. are these defined somewhere other than headermenu.php and english.php? my store (that i'm still working on) is at https://www.alethiaonline.com/store. thanks.

Hi,

I'm using the blue colored template. I just recently decided to switch from right side-boxes, to left side-boxes. Moved them over no problem, but I see that there is a light blue graphic remaining behind where the column used to be. Can you tell me how to move it over to the left side, so it can be under the boxes, like it used to be on the right side please?

Thanks.

OOH, love the site! Very cute!

OK, all you have to do is change the "none" of the chunk below that is found in stylesheet_header_menu.css to "lowercase":

div#dropMenu li a {display: block; padding: .6em 0;text-decoration: none; text-transform:none/*edited uppercase*/

Also, as a side note, I notice that you have two main stylesheets online, stylesheet.css and stylesheet1.css, remember that if a stylesheet is uploaded, it will try to exert itself, so you should only have ONE uploaded at a time.

Did you do this portion of the instructions on moving the sideboxes to the left?

change:

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg.gif) repeat-y 80% 0;
}

to:

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg2.gif) repeat-y 20% 0;

Thanks Jade. That did it. I also found where I needed to edit for the submenu.  Question about moving sideboxes to the left side. I followed your instructions 

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg.gif) repeat-y 80% 0;
}

to:

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg2.gif) repeat-y 20% 0;

Also change:

.centerColumn {
width:75%;
float:left;
margin:0 2% 2% 3%;
text-align:left;
line-height:1.6em;
display:inline; /* fixes IE Bug in IE6 and earlier - do not remove */
}

to:

.centerColumn {
width:75%;
float:right;
margin:0 2% 2% 3%;
text-align:left;
line-height:1.6em;
display:inline; /* fixes IE Bug in IE6 and earlier - do not remove */
}

but it didn't work. do i need to change any settings in the layout boxes controller to make this work?  oh yes, i also removed the extra stylesheet. i did that while i was troubleshooting to see where the information was coming from. thanks.

p.s. i'm glad you like the site. it's for a new line i'm launching.

I'm all set. I went back through the code more carefully and it worked perfectly. Thanks again for such a great template.

P.S. If you want to be notified when the store goes online, just send me your email address via private message and if you're interested I'll give you a special discount as my way of saying thank you.

Yup...first thing I did....

I'm an idiot...I HAD changed it...but evidently forgot to save changes...when I dbl checked I saw that it was still old setting!

Thanks...sorry about that!!!

Thanks Jade for the help,

But, UMMM, I'm confused...Not that it takes much, but anyways...

Then find the information section there, and CAREFULLY cut and paste links where you want it. They are probably duplicated because you have the links listed twice; this is not default behavior.

I did what I was instructed, downloaded then ftp'd a fresh copy of the tpl_drop_menu.php, onto my site...did nothing. Problem of having duplicate Privacy Policy Tabs and Site Map tabs under the "Information" pull down menu still was there.

So I looked at the code itself... and saw no duplication of "Privacy Policy" or "Site Map" in the php code itself, as you can see:

        <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_INFORMATION; ?></a>
          <ul class="level2">
		    <?php if (DEFINE_SHIPPINGINFO_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SHIPPING_INFO; ?></a></li>
			<?php } ?>
			<?php if (DEFINE_PRIVACY_STATUS <= 1)  { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_PRIVACY_POLICY; ?></a></li>
			<?php } ?>
			<?php if (DEFINE_CONDITIONS_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CONDITIONS_OF_USE; ?></a></li>
			<?php } ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_US; ?></a></li>
            <?php if (DEFINE_SITE_MAP_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SITE_MAP; ?></a></li>
            <?php } ?>
            <?php if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_GV_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_FAQ, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_GV_FAQ; ?></a></li>
            <?php } ?>
            <?php if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_COUPON_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DISCOUNT_COUPON, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_DISCOUNT_COUPON; ?></a></li>
            <?php } ?>
            <?php if (SHOW_NEWSLETTER_UNSUBSCRIBE_LINK == 'true') { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_UNSUBSCRIBE, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_UNSUBSCRIBE; ?></a></li>
            <?php } ?>
            <?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/' . $template_dir . '/' . 'ezpages_drop_menu.php'); ?>
          </ul>

When I saw the last line there, for some reason I went to the "EZ Pages" in my admin's "Tool" Menu and I turn off the Privacy Policy and Site Map for the Header on the "EZ Pages Control Panel, the duplicates disapear from the pull down menu as well as in the "header."

I'm ok with this, but then I guess it will need more padding there to make it look right. Cuz if I turn all of them off then the green bar is not displayed with the same thickness as the top green bar(the small green bar above my list of catagories.) I hope this is making sense...

http://www.organicplanetonline.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index

The other solution I guess would be to remove the 'ezpages_drop_menu.php' part out of the tpl_drop_menu.php code.

Please let me know if I am understanding this correctly.

Thanks in advance,

Hiya, I was just wondering how to delete links from the dropdown menu and the information area on the right.

Also how do you edit these? For instance, I want to delete the Gift Certificate FAQ section and change another to a different name. Thanks Ash

Simply turn off the ezpages for the header, under "configuration", EzPages Settings".

You can modify the text used in your header by opening up includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/headermenu.php

You can add or remove links from the header menu by opening up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_drop_menu.php. Though you can turn off links such as "Privacy Policy" or "Conditions of Use", etc. from the admin, under "Configuration", "Define Page Status". (This turns them off anywhere they may be on the site). If you're not using Gift Certificates or Discount Coupons, you can turn those off globally by removing their modules under "Modules", "Order Total".

You can change the colors or widths of the header menu by opening up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css

Hello,

I am using the red version of this theme (eta - Love the theme!) on my site and I have two questions. I am also very new to zen cart and whereas I don't have programing background I have a knack for figuring things out on my own. But...I can't figure out these two things...:wink:

1. On the drop down menu across the top, under the categories tab the menu doesn't fold out? Not sure why, I copied over everything from the download but maybe I have something turned off? I have no clue what ez pages are, and I'm wondering if that might be why it's not working?

2. On the title part of the page, there seems to be a ',' in the title and I can't find it anywhere. For example, my title on the home page says:
   "Design your own Handbag :: , Pomzie.com"
   Any idea on where that comma came from? I didn't add it.

The web address is www.pomzie.com

TIA for your help!

Kari

1. The categories pop down for me.

2. That's in includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php:

// Define Tertiary Section Output
define('TERTIARY_SECTION', ', ');

Are they supposed to pop out after they pop down, or just pop down? In other words, if you click on

Categories -> Pomzie Bucket Tote

is it supposed to pop out to the right and list the items? or is it just supposed to pop down and that's it. Just making sure I didn't screw something up. :D

Thanks again! I love the layout of the template.

Jade!

No worries on that background image!

I just can't seem to get it to scale correctly now that I changed the navcolumntwo width... sooo... I am going to try and use a background color ... THAT hasn't quite worked either with the <div> not wanting to extend to the bottom of the page. I have tried both methods I know to achieve this, but I must have a <div> order / containing / float issue somewhere.

I'll ask Prof. Ruthsarian if he has a moment to look at the page.

Yes, I did change some of the DIVs. I am not using your nice side shadows, so I eliminated the extra markup.

BTW, seeing A LOT of Cherry and Apple based carts! Congrats!
