Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hello jettrue. I would like to give my thanks to you for creating an awesome template. Like many others before me I did not just come here to thank you for the template although maybe I should have thanked you long ago.
I was strolling along for several months on the information super highway sporting my new cherry zen cart template just as happy as can be until one day IE8 came around. It would appear that IE8 does not like my background colors on the side panels or in the center. I am running the latest ver of ZC 1.3.8a . I have switched my browser to compatibility mode which seems to fix it. Also the template works fine in firefox, IE7, and even on a blackberry. The problem seems to be isolated to IE8 exclusively.
Could ya maybe point me in the general direction of where the problem may be?

Here is the normal view:

Thank you,

I know to get rid of the "Congratulations!..." text I need to edit the index.php file.. however if I go to where everyone says it's suppose to be languages/english/index.php it's not there. I have re-extracted the zip file to make sure I didn't accidently delete it.. it is not there. I looked in my site directory as well but do not see this file anywhere I've really tried to not delete anything and don't think I did but I can't find it.. how would I get another copy of this? I don't understand why the Congratulations would show if this file wasn't there to define it?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, i have a problem.
First i wanted to have Categories - Always Show on Main Page so i turned it on.
But i did not like the look and i turned it of again ( 0 ) But now it keeps showing.... I can't seem to turn it off.


What can i do to have it turned off again. I do not want them showing on the main page.

Your link isn't working.

Try turning off sideboxes until the problem goes away, it could be a sidebox issue.

Why should the right sidebox not be on this page?

I too have similar IE8 issues with the background of sideboxes and sideboxes appearing on pages that they shouldn't be on.
Any info to solve would be much appreciated.

Thank you

When that happens, generally it is not the fault of the template.

There could be a third party sidebox that you added causing issues.

If it only happens on certain pages, then it means there's something different on that page that is causing the issue. Usually its a missing </div> or one to many </div>.

I'll need to see a link of a page with the issue.

That was exactly the problem. Thank you. I had created a side box to display my hosts ssl certificate seal and something within that IE8 did not like. Many thanks for your help.

Just curious, you mentioned that my link wasn't working. Did you mean the url to my site? or the images?

This happens on the categories pages.

On the products pages with extra photos the photos move to the right: http://tinyurl.com/knjckj
