Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

About the box header images.

Do you notice that they load slower than the rest of the page? They seem to load last, yet the header images at the top and teh center part load fast.

It looks like header is first, center is second then side boxes load third.

Is there a way the template can be made to load all at once or atleast, the header part and the side boxes first?

Do you notice this at my test site, www.cherryzen.jadetrue.com? Even when I clear my browsers cache, the load difference between images is negligible to my eyes. Browsers load images in the order they appear in the html. The sideboxes are the last section in the html, however I have no plans to change the order of the way the template is arranged, so I have no good suggestions. :-)

Hello. Like all before me, I agree that this is an awesome template. I have a question which has been hit around several times already here. I'm sure if I wasn't into my 12th hour with this stuff I would have the time and patience to search for it properly (or more properly). My long description is in a box at the very bottom of the details page. I'm not sure what I've done to do this. I would like the long descr. up to the right of the image just like the short one is on the list page. The part number and quantity can go just under the image (I swear it was like this at some point) or under the long description. Any help?
Heres a link to an EXAMPLE....

I designed the template like that. However, you can open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and move the description section wherever you'd like it. Or, you can simply delete that file from the server, if you'd like the original stock zen cart product layout.

I promise, its not the cherry zen template, it is an error in the module. The classic template is not a floating <div> based template like Cherry Zen is. The extra </div> is there even when you switch to classic template, but since the classic template is a simpler template, it does not break with the error. All "floating" based designs tend to be more finicky when there is a <div> issue. Believe me, I've seen it happen enough with this template to know what's going on.

I don't have a site with the mod installed to test this fix, but I think if you change the last lines of tpl_returns_default.php from this:

</fieldset>
<?php
  }
?>
</div>
</form>
<div class="buttonRow back"><?php echo zen_back_link() . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>

to this:

</fieldset>
</div>
<?php
  }
?>
</form>
<div class="buttonRow back"><?php echo zen_back_link() . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>

The problem will go away. It is a matter of a misplaced </div>. Anyway, change that, and let me know if the issue goes away.

Thank you!! That move fixed it....

Is there a way to fix or control how the template loads so that it loads the header and side colums first before the center part?

Not easily, no.
