Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[jettrue]

Coming soon within the next few days... Cherry Zen. I guess I've got a fruit thing goin' on. I fell in lurve with that cherry image (don't they look tasty?), and the rest is history.

You can see it in action here:

I'm in the final steps of preparing this for distribution. If you guys want to look through it in various browsers for bugs I missed, that would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a screen shot:



I'm also offering 7 color options total, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and grey.

Some special features of this template (FROM MY README.TXT):

1. It is a "fluid" width site, meaning that its width changes as your customers' browser width changes. However, the main content portion is prevented from being *SMALLER* than 1000px wide, and is prevented from being *LARGER* than 1300px wide. For a narrower site, this can be adjusted in the stylesheet, and further instructions are included on doing so later in this file in the *TIPS* section.

2. Multiple colors for the top header bar, and for the sidebox headers have been included. These colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and grey. These can be changed in includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css. Instructions for doing so are found there. I've also included matching add to cart buttons. They are found in the includes/templates/cherry_zen/buttons/english/ folder. Simply rename the color you want to use to button_in_cart.gif.

3. Product images on the product information page have a border and drop shadow applied to them. This can be adjusted in the stylesheet, and the section for this is found at the very bottom of stylesheet.css. Some instructions for that section are included within the stylesheet.

4. It includes the "order steps" contribution, which gives a visual indicator for your customers so they understand exactly where they are in the ordering process, and exactly how many steps they have left before the order is complete.

5. It includes a new layout for the product information pages. The width of the image, tell a friend/reviews, and add to cart section is defined by your product image width. Please keep your product image width at 220 or less. If it is made wider than that, the layout will break. The width of the product information image can be adjusted in your admin, under "Configuration", "Images", "Product Info - Image Width". If you prefer the original zen cart layout for the product information page, simply do not upload includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php.

6. It includes the "Column Divider Lite" add on, which creates the dotted lines between products for the "New Products", "Featured Products", and "Specials" sections that can be shown on the home page, after the Product Listings, or after an empty shopping cart, etc. It also creates the dotted lines for the product listings when they are set to show in columns instead of rows. You can change it to columns in your admin, under "Configuration", "Product Listing", "Product Listing - Layout Style". The dotted lines will also show up for additional images, customers also purchased products, and on the cross sell products (if installed). This can be removed by simply deleting stylesheet_dotline.css from your server.

7. It includes transparent drop shadows all around the site. You'll notice that this will be not seen in IE browsers earlier than IE7. This is because IE6 and below do not support .png transparency.

Hope everyone enjoys it. I'll post here when I've uploaded the files.
