Apple Zen Support Thread

aqalbany:

I have a problem with the flyout menu on the product categories section. This is only in IE 6 and 7. When you mouse over one level, then to the subcategories, then back to the category above it, the subcategories menu still appears to the right, but all blank for text, with just the background showing. See the screenshot attached. FYI, the development server this is on is at http://74.52.92.130/~jwebmark/

That should be fixed in the newest version of the template.... what version are you using?

I really like this template, thank you.

I have a question, I would like to add another column to the drop down menu called Links. How would I do that? I am a real newb to zen cart so pardon my ignorance.

Thanks

I am using version Apple Zen Template v2.4 and Zen Cart 1.3.8

I would create those two pages in EZPAGES instead. Then if you follow the instructions, they will show up automatically.

Thank you for your response Jettrue! I will see what I can do....

Did you update from an earlier version of apple zen? Cause I thought that issue was fixed with my latest version, and it included some significant changes to the stylesheets. If you did not apply all of the stylesheet changes, that could be the issue. Could I see a link to your site?

Well, that would take some doing. :-)

You could add the links manually in includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php, something like this:

<li class="submenu">Links
<ul class="level2">
<li><a href="sub_link_here.htm">Sub Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="sub_link2_here.htm">Sub Link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="sub_link3_here.htm">Sub Link 3</a></li>
<li><a href="sub_link4_here.htm">Sub Link 4</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

The site is on our development server - http://74.52.92.130/~jwebmark/

It is not an upgrade, but we did modify the CSS to accomodate the site colors.

Does the same thing happen at my test site, http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com

Hello Jade,
http://ZEN-CART_URL/index.php?main_page=specials
(The problem occurs, when no product is marked as special.)

http://ZEN-CART_URL/?p=1
(the single post view page of the Wordpress mod.)

When there is no special product, the side boxes which are supposed to in the right column move to the left (FF2 & IE6). Also when I view the single post page of the Wordpress mod, the side boxes move to the bottom-left corner under the blog comment section (IE6).

My site is powered by Zen Cart version 1.3.0.2 and Apple Zen template version 2.3.

Thanks for your attention

Hi,

I have figured out how to fix the problem occurred with WordPress on Zen Cart.
What I did is add

.widecolumn { width: 95%; }

to /WordPress path/wp-content/themes/default/style.css.

That was so easy.

I will disable the dropdown "special" link under "home" when no product is marked as special.

Thank you,
Tsuyoshi

Wow... I am at my wits end with trying to figure out some things in apple zen with it's drop down menu! I really need some help!

I have the drop down menu in the header and I would like to get rid of the following: (I have tried and tried to no avail)

1. About us
2. Discount Coupons
3. Gift Certificates
4. Specials
5. New products

I also cannot get the site map to go away!

You can remove About us in includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php, just remove it:

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

2. If you want coupons off for the whole site, go to "Modules", "Order Total", and disable the discount coupon module. If you want it off for only the drop menu, remove it from tpl_drop_menu.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 } ?>

3. If you want gift certificates off, do the same thing as #2. If you want it off only for the drop menu, remove this chunk:

<?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 } ?>

4. If you specials off for the whole site, go to the tpl_drop_menu.php again, and remove it:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SPECIALS; ?></a></li>

5. Same as #4, but remove this chunk:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_NEW_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>

If you'd like the Site Map off for the entire site, Go to your admin, to "Configuration", "Define Page Status", and turn the site map off. If you want it off for the drop menu only, remove it from tpl_drop_menu.php:

<?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 } ?>

Thank you so much for helping me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap:
I am thrilled beyond belief!
Everything worked except getting rid of SITE MAP! I totally removed:

            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SITE_MAP; ?></a></li>
            <?php } ?>

from my tpl_drop_menu.php file and also in my admin, site map status is set to 3.....it's so annoying!

The site map link is no longer in the drop down menu, that is what removing the code above accomplishes. Now, did you notice that you are LINKING TO the sitemap on your home page.... the "GALLERY" link is pointing to the sitemap page:

http://photographysisters.com/index.php?main_page=site_map

Ok...you are on to something I'm sure, but in my ignorance of knowing how to edit Zencart, I'm not sure what I need to do. Hopefully I can explain this to you....

The 'GALLERY' link on the ZENCART page was originally the 'CATEGORIES' link and all I did was change the name from categories to gallery. The site map appears every time you click on the GALLERY link as well as when you enter into Zencart from my html page.

So...how do I then remove the link to the site map page? If you will also notice...I turned off SPECIALS and NEW PRODUCTS so they don't appear in my drop down box, but they are showing up on the site map.

Thanks Jettrue....I'm sorry if I seem to dumb, but truth is...I guess I am when it comes to this! :blush:

Ok, I changed the link from my Html page to Zencart. I didn't realize the "sitemap" connection. When I built the html page I just went and copied the url from the top of the page and pasted it in to the html page...so the big question remains, how do I get rid of the site map page to the GALLERY link (other wise know as the categories link)?

Hi, I am really new on this , i just install the theme cherry but i dont know the propiet distribution of the columns and single columns, can you send the configuration of the columns show it in your sample, please, thankyou

Open up includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and remove the link there.

Please read the readme.txt, it gives lots of basic setup information. The Cherry Zen Support Thread is here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72703

Open up includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php and remove the link there.

It worked! I remember trying to remove that link before, but I think I took out too many words or symbols last time because when I would save it, my page was entirely messed up! But it worked this time!

THANK YOU JETTRUE! You helped me SO much! Thank you thank you thank you! :jump::hug:

Iam new to this.
I installed this template same as the instruction, Now I see it in the Zen cart admin panel, So I set it as my default template. If I go on my Domain name I still see the classic template. So I created a simple template on front page and called it index.html I uploaded it to a sub domain "dev" when i go the that subdomain url I see the design i uploaded. So the question is, How come I can't see the apple template on the main domain name?
How would I be able to change it around if I can't see what it looks like?

Am I doing something wrong or Do I have to reconfiger something in the Cpanel. I've been reading the forums on the hosting company and they keep refering to index.html and that its the only name that you can sav your site as.

Please help!!!
