Apple Zen Support Thread

Glamorousshoe:

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!!!

Wow, you lost me at this point:

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.

You need to upload the template, keep it called "apple_zen" at this point (it will be easier that way, otherwise you have a LOT of folders to rename), then choose the apple zen template in the admin. The template has nothing to do with index.html, that's your home page OUTSIDE of zen cart. Zen cart has nothing do to with index.html. What is your zen cart url?

Hey Jettrue! I didn't observe this until just now, but not my category links are all under 'HOME' on my drop down menu. The links used to be under 'GALLERY' (formally my categories link)...what could have happened?

You probably took out the WHOLE Categories title and link, instead of just the link. You should have changed this:

<li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?></a>

To this:

<li class="submenu"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?>

So paste the above, right above this:

              <?php

 // load the UL-generator class and produce the menu list dynamically from there
 require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php');
 $zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator;
 $menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace('<li class="submenu">','<li class="submenu">',$menulist);
 $menulist = str_replace("</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n","</li>\n</ul>\n",$menulist);
 echo $menulist;
?>

Well Im confused myself too. What im trying to do is, to be able to see the apple template on my home page. so now when i go my to my website (https://www.homedecor.net) i see the classic template. But i wanna be able to see the apple template so when i go to change it in the zen admin. i will be able to immediatly see how the change affected my template.

What is the link of your zen cart store? You said you installed in on a subdomain?

if you installed the cart on a sub-domain, then it will show up on the subdomain. If you want it on your main domain, you have to install it there.

Also, if you're using zen cart, you need to delete the index.html.

Thanks Jettrue! Gallery came back, but if you go to my site, it looks funny.

Here is my code:

?>
<!-- menu area -->
<div id="dropMenuWrapper">
 <div id="dropMenuWrapperb">
   <div id="dropMenuWrapperc">
     <div id="dropMenuWrapperd">
       <div id="dropMenu">
         <ul class="level1">
           <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a>
             <ul class="level2">
                              <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ALL); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ALL_PRODUCTS; ?></a></li>
                               <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SEARCH; ?></a></li>
             </ul>
           </li>
<li class="submenu"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?>          
             <?php

What did I do?

if you installed the cart on a sub-domain, then it will show up on the subdomain. If you want it on your main domain, you have to install it there.

Also, if you're using zen cart, you need to delete the index.html.

Let start from square one.

1. uploaded the Include file from the zen template to the include folder on the server under the public_html and www.
2. Went into Zen admin and selected the apple zen from theere and clicked upload.

IS there anything else that Iam suppose to do to be able to see the apple zen in the public domain"homedecoronline.net"??????

Now if I got to my url which is https://www.homedecoronline.net, Don't I suppose to see the Apple template there? or Should it still be the Default Zen Template?

If I design a template on MS front Page, How much work it takes to like it to Zen Cart so all the comand function properly?]

The other site"www.glamorousshoe.com" I had a company do and charged me alot of money But it function great so I am trying to learn the Zen cart on the new site" homedecoronline.net"

How can i get rid of the space between the Home and my banner image?

Did you ever see the default zen template? If you do see the default zen template, please post the link where you see it, because I do not see it on your home page (homedecoronline.net), I see a blank page. A blank page with zen cart usually means that some page was corrupted, or there is a space on some page before the first <?php, etc. DID you install the zen cart on homedecoronline.net, or homedecor.net?

If you design a template, you then have to incorporate it into the zen cart, you can't design a page, then somehow get zen cart to work within it. Zen cart is fairly easy to customize, but more complicated layouts can require an extensive knowledge of css styling, and zen cart structure, but most simple layouts aren't too bad.

Remove the padding-top from here:

#tagline {
	font-size:1.3em;
	text-align:center;
	padding-top:15px;
	}

Please post your link to your site with every question, so I don't have to go hunting for it. :hug:

Change this:

<li class="submenu"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?> to this: <li class="submenu"><a><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?></a>

Not sure if this was already answered but I tried reading through as much as I could to see if someone had the same problem..

Anyways, working on setting up a zen store with your template... everything was fine until I looked at the store in I.E ... I was able to find the menu fix in this thread, but for some reason the sidebar content will not display on the side in I.E.. it gets pushed down to the bottom..

http://www.angels-inn.com/shop/

is the url..

Thanks!

Thank you Jettrue! That was the trick! Thanks again for all your help! (sorry about not putting my link!:oops:)

Have an amazing day! :thumbsup:

What version of the template are you using? What version of IE?

how come the new products in my index page is only 1 product per row? how can i set it to 3 product per row?

https://www.fashiontinkz.com

Apple Zen 2.4 - Internet Explorer 7.... It looks fine in FireFox and thats what I always used to preview it when I was customizing it... so I didn't realize the problem until I was done and tried showing it to an I.E user..

Only changes I made was the narrow header modification steps you described in the docs... and I changed the background image, that's it.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

I have searched for this and not come up with an answer.
I am in the process of upgrading from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8a and apple-zen 1.0 to 2.4
my current site is http://igethigh.cecg.com and the new test site is http://zen.cecg.com
There is a problem getting all of the top level drop down menu items to appear.
It is missing menu items "contact us", "my account" and "shopping cart"

Any help would be appreciated.

THANX

Help with Round Corners Please

I would like to know how to add round corners (left and right) at the bottom of wrapper (right column include). See the attachment.

Thanks for your help.

I can't tell what the issue is because your site is down for maintenance. Do you have it set to 3 per row in the admin? If so, your probably is probably css based.
