Apple Zen Support Thread

Wondering if you can help ...

I just installed Zen Lightbox on a fresh install of Zen Cart 1.3.8a.

I have been designing my site around your awesome Apple Zen template and have encountered my first issue.

The product image is properly displayed in the lightbox when viewing the site with IE7 on a PC. However when viewing the image in Firefox (PC) or Safari (Mac) the Apple Zen top navigation bar stays on top of the image and the lightbox.

Can you help? Did I miss something in the setup? Should I be asking this in the Zen Lightbox support forum?

Thanks for your time and wonderful contribution.

Hi Jade,

Thank you for this contribution. I changed the color of the dropdown menu when unselected to match the color of the dropdownMenuWrapper...I was able to put the line back in the last tab (Shopping Cart), but how do I add a line to the front of the "Home" tab. Thank you for your assistance.

Forst open up includes/templates/apple_zen/common/tpl_drop_menu.php, and give the home link a class like this:

<a class="leftLine" href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a>

And then add this to your stylesheet_header_menu.css:

div#dropMenu li a.leftLine {border-left:1px solid #ffffff}

Do a search in this thread for lightbox, there's a lot of information on that topic in this thread.

Hi Jade

Thanks so much for your help and direction.

Elsewhere in this thread, I found the instructions for increasing the z-index to 1000 (I've copied the instructions below for the benefit of others) but wasn't sure where to find this code.

A search revealed it was in the file "stylesheet_lightbox.css" found in Web-Site-Address/includes/templates/apple_zen/css/

I made the modification (increasing z-index:100 to 1000) and everything appears to be working well now.

Thanks again Jade for a great template :clap:

Instructions:

*Try changing the z-index on this section to 1000:

#lightbox {
left:0;
line-height:0;
position:absolute;
text-align:center;
top:40px;
width:100%;
z-index:100;
}*

Cool...that worked...thanks!:smile:

Hi Jade

I'd like to add the Advanced Cross Sell (Or JustAnotherXSell) Module to my site, which runs on Apple Zen.

The instructions state:

5. Now edit your product-info template file (tpl_product_info_display.php) and insert the following code
   at the point where you wish the Cross-Sell box to appear. Usually best at the end of the file:

<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_xsell_products.php', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/' . 'tpl_modules_xsell_products.php'); ?>

---

However, this file does not exist at WEB_SITE/includes/templates/apple_zen/templates/

It only exists at WEB_SITE/includes/templates/template_default/templates/

Where would I make the above changes in the template to add the Cross-Sell box?

Thanks again

Hi
I download it and apply on my website, that is really good!
But i dont know how to remove this

"To change any of the site colors, open up includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet.css. To overwrite your own logo, upload your logo.gif to includes/templates/apple_zen/images/"

from the header .

can you tell me how to do it ?

From this zencart software , does it only show one picture for one product ?
If I want to show many pictures on same product , is it any solution?

Pls help!

I'm a newbie myself...I suggest you check out the FAQ section of Zen Cart. Both these questions are answered there.

for your first issue go here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=127

You should read the "override system" FAQ in the FAQ section of zen cart.
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=230

The file does not exist at:
WEB_SITE/includes/templates/apple_zen/templates/

Because I didn't need to adjust that file for the template.

Now that you want to adjust it, copy the file FROM:
WEB_SITE/includes/templates/template_default/templates/

TO:
WEB_SITE/includes/templates/apple_zen/templates/

You will then save your changes in the apple_zen folder so that zen cart will OVERRIDE the template_default file. This way your changes won't be overwritten next time you upgrade zen cart.

You're totally Zenned... Apple Zenned! Thanks!

Thanks for the template I like it a lot. One thing I'm trying to change is the green color that appears, in text fields customers can type in, and also whenever there is a drop down menu for attributes.

Hello,

First thanks for making such a great template and two thanks for making it free!

So I was able to rebove the image that said applezen with the green apple and replace it with my logo. However what I want to do is to the right of the logo have another image that would be a banner of sorts (really it would just have the company name written in fancy script). So I am wondering how/in what file and what line I would edit to add another image that would display to the right of the logo in the header. Thanks!!

i already figured it out nevermind

I have this template installed on one of my sites, and when I add an iframe or even text with javascript in the ezpage description it makes the menu header move to the right of the page. I have tried every trick I know to get this to work properly, but I'm just not familiar enough with css to know what is happening when I add the iframe. I tend to use iframes in ezpages to allow for php content and javascripting.

If you have any thoughts on how to correct the problem I would really appreciate any help you could give.

I am using the 2.2 version of apple_zen green template in 1.37.

I've added an image to show you what it's doing. I also seem to have lost the category and sideboxes in this image.

Marian

I am having the same trouble as the person above me on this tread. Keeps shoving the menu all the way to the right. Except, I am not using any IFrames.

I am currently working on trying to fix the error. But I must say thank you for a well designed Template!

I got it fixed - I recommend comparing the stylesheet.css directly from the download to the one you are altering. I found two things in my stylesheet missing that just needed replaced to fix.

Hello, love this template! So well commented and organised. Its been a breeze to customise to my clients needs!

There is just the one thing I cant seem to find where to put it....

I would like to put a background image in the text area of the main page. (or can appear on all pages if need be)

Problem: hover effect does not work on all pages.

Installed: zen 1.3.8 NEW Clean install
Installed: IH2

I cant get all the pictures to come up.
The picture resize engine only hovers pictures in "sidebox review" and on "product details page(in additional pictures ex: picflower_morepics.jpg)"

Tried 3 installs:
First install was made over classic template.
Second install was made over APPLE ZEN template.
Third install(listed in installation order) was CLEAN INSTALL(where the public_html was wiped out, zen1.3.8 reinstalled, but database linked was old database file),than IH2 reinstalled.

I figured i have to add code to the pages like "all product" and "new products".
What type of code am i adding?

Thank you for input.
Your advise is greatly apprecieated.
Chris

Try adding your background images to #centerColumnWrapper2b in the stylesheet.css.
