Good Morning everyone, I have used the cherry zen template in a couple of applications of my store, It has worked with no problems except now I have created a development section of my store so I can make changes and not have it affect my sales until I want to push all of the changes.

What I have done is completed a full clean install of zen with a completely new database that is not the same as my production DB. I applied the latest security patch for zen, and then copied the entire includes folder that came with the cherry zen template. I have completed all of the steps on in the read me file and all I get is a blue screen with nothing on it. I have seen where someone has gotten the same thing on here but I did not see that there was a resolution for that person.

on another note I have also tried to copy the entire file structure from my prod site to my dev site and I am getting the same thing. This "seems" to be a problem with the new security patch but I cannot seem to get the issue resolved.

you can see the current Dev site at
http://www.gottoys.biz/dev

I am currently not using the template on my production site but you can view that site at http://www.gottoys.biz please note that this site is an adult toy company so no one under that age of 18 should go to this link.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Gottoys.

Oh, sorry, didn't think of that:

So to sum up, what I'm really asking for is a way to get rid of the white space that is reserved at the top of the center column for the banner. I don't use a banner and I'd rather push the content up higher so more is above the fold.

Thanks, Susie

Hi. I am using Cherry Zen and like it very much. I am just having a few issues I was wondering if anyone could help me with.

At the very bottom where there is the "home" link, I was wondering what the best way to either put a background image behind that or simply change the background color of it would be?

And also how to make sure it is the same width of the rest of the site (mine is 900px) and also how to make sure whatever the background color or image is is flush with the bottom of the main content, so there are no spaces showing the site background.

I'd also like to know the same information for the copywrite section.

And how do you add to those links down there and make more than just home?

Also how do you make the entire site flush with the top of the page so there is no background showing at the top?

Also at the bottom where there is the banner link I would like to change that banner to one of my own and have it link to another site of mine, how would I go about doing that?

Any help at all with any of these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

(BTW, I am using the most current versions of Zencart and the Cherry Zen Template)

Hello --

I'm hoping to be able to add image (small flower or butterfly) inside the sidebox header... so I know that that area is filled with sideboxbg.gif, but I would like to also add a small image next to the box title (categories, information, etc) - I hope that my description of what I want to do makes sense and isn't too difficult?

hi

sorry for the newbie question, but i am having problems trying to figure out how to install this template...i have read the readme file, etc.
in the readme it says to upload the includes folder to my site ( i am currently just trying to install on my local copy of zencart), and that no files need to be overwritten, but if i copy/paste the includes folder from cherry zen to my existing site it wants to overwrite...
if i try to copy/paste the subfolders included in the cherry includes folder into the existing includes folder it wants to overwrite those files...
how and where exactly do i put the cherry zen includes folder in order to install this template?
do i open each individual file in the template and copy those individual files into the apprpriate subfolders of my exisitng includes folder...?

many thanks

Give us an example of the files being overwritten.
You should be creating a lot of new 'cherry_zen' folders.

thanks for the reply

i am trying to install the template to my local copy of zencart. i am using xampp on my C drive. in the readme it says to "copy the includes folder to your website..there are no files to be overwritten". if i copy the includes file to (in my case) C/xampp/htdocs/zen, then it wants to overwrite the existing includes file. if instead i open the cherry includes file that i have unzipped and try to copy the four folders (functions,modules,languages,templates) to the existing includes folder, then it wants to overwrite those folders. you see where i am going here? if i then open those four folders there are more subfolders,etc...
i am trying to figure out how to copy these template files correctly and at what level in order to avoid overwriting folders/files that i still need.
thanks

What are you using to copy the cherry zen files? Windows Explorer? WinZip?
It is okay to overwrite the folders - doing so won't change the files within the folders. The Cherry Zen files should not overwrite files.

If we look at one file in the cherry zen zip file - includes\modules\cherry_zen\product_listing.php : this should go into c:\xampp\htdocs\zen\includes\modules\cherry_zen\product_listing.php
