Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi Jade,

I'm using Cherry_Zen as the "bones" for my store, because it was the closest in layout to my osc store. I'm having a problem trying to do two things & I hope you can help:

1. I want to put a "frame" around the entire body content. I tried making a div id for MainWrapper but couldn't get that to work. It just put extra space on the sides of my header & aligned my footer to the left.

To get a clearer idea of what I'm talking about - Here is my osc store and Here is my ZC store.

2. On my product_info pages, I want to add some padding to the center column so that the left & right columns don't push up right against but whenever I try to add padding to anything my store goes a bit wacky.

Here's a test product page, see the right column especially and it's not quite centered, there's a bit of padding to the left.

When I view the style in FF dev. toolbar, it just brings me to the same block of code which shows 0px padding. I'm confused :blink:

Anyway, TIA for any help.

Jade

I have 2 quick questions, that im sure yourself or someone else can answer quiet easily.

My online test store is here, http://www.qikazz.com.au/test/
I imported its contents from OSC

Anyway, first thing is, I would like the "whats new" or "new for janurary" on the front page, for some reason its not there, I only have the featured products listing, secondly, I changed the layout to colum as suggested, but for some reason, I only get 1 row, EG http://www.qikazz.com.au/test/index....index&cPath=75

...and another query.

I've messed with the template a bit, but cannot find how to control the layout of text (price, prodname, etc) associated with products in category listings. I want them to look like the layout in the New Products listing (ie pic, with price and product name centered beneath).

Can anyone help?

example page here

See 'new products' at bottom of page for how I want the other listings to look...

Any assistance much appreciated...

Regards,

Sean

I think it may be that the logo is too big. I will play with that a bit but your suggestions would be appreciated.

I see them just fine in the grey bar below the logo, perhaps you fixed it?

1. I'm not sure of the best way, but the easiest way, since your site is a fixed with, would be to make a background image with those bars on the left and right.

2. This is because you changed your sidebox widths to 165px, but didn't fully follow the instructions in the readme.txt for changing their widths. Re-read #6 in the tips section (hint, you need to change all instances of 165px in that section to 180px)

Then if you made any padding changes to try and fix that error, I'd put them back as they were. :smile:

These are all issues for your admin. Do you have new products turned on in your admin? (Configuration, Index Listing) Are any of your products "new"? (Configuration, Maximum Values, New Product Listing - Limited to ...)

Then for the 1 row issue, you probably have it set to only show 3 products per page (Configuration, Maximum Value, Products Listing- Number Per Page)

You do that under "Configuration", "Product Listing", and then change around the order of each item.

Yes... I somehow stumbled upon the solution. Not really sure what I did but it looks like when I was adjusting my header graphics I changed some sizes in the CSS file that ended up covering up the EZ bar.

Thanks for taking a look!

Doh!
Well, I'm getting to grips with it, slowly...:blush:

Thanks for the pointer...

Hi,

I have been messing with this for far too long. I noticed a number of mistakes in my css and scrapped the entire file. Well...now that I've started over, I can't get a few things to work again. The old file was unreadable so I am not sure how I did all these things over the time I have been using this template.

The biggest is the white background in the center of my page. Please take a look. I have tried everything I can think of to add my background image to match the rest of the page, the light beige background, but I can't seem to find the right id to make it happen.

Any help would be appreciated it. You can see what I mean by looking here.
