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

apologies!
i am embarassed to admit that i did not know that overwriting folders would leave the inner files intact (unless a file of the same name is included in the new folder of course)
i can't believe i did not know that...but life is for learning.
i am off and running
thanks for your help and patience
peace

Hello Jade. Definately a big thank you for the Cherry Zen template. Your notes made it quite easy to understand how to make modifications - which is why I have included your link in my footer. It has been a while since I have worked on it, except for the new security patch, so I'm a little out of zen-shape. :wacko: This is Zencart version 1.38a +patch


As you can see I have modified quite a bit - http://www.sparklewholesale.com

I would like to add a couple boxes for news or articles in the large blank space that resides below the new products on the home page. Can you please tell me how to go about adding these?

Best Regards,
Diana

I want to modify the file:

includes/template/cherry_zen/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php

in my site:

www.gamesmart.it

like this:

with Search GIF like pushable search button of course....

Anyone can help me?

Thanks! :blink:

'Add to Cart' button AND a 'More Info' button or link

On the category / product listings pages, how do I have both the 'Add to Cart' button AND a 'More Info' button or link?

It seems to be either one or the other.
If I have the 'Add to Cart' button, I don't get the 'more info' link
If I turn off the 'Add to Cart' button, I get the 'more info' link.

Surely you can have both?

Ideally I would like 'More Info' and 'Add to Cart' buttons side by side.

This is using the column grid addon included with the excellent Cherry Zen template.

Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

zen v1.38a

I have a problem with cherry zen and IE6 (don't know if problem is present in IE 7 or 8).
If you click on any catagory, the catagory sidebox drops down and displays after the end of the center box. See screenshots.
It does NOT happen if you click on the last catagory called "Other Products"
See screenshots.

It displays correctly in firefox, google chrome and netscape 6 (I think)

To see it goto http://angiejolee.com/store/

I am running Zen Cart 1.3.8 and have just installed the cherry_zen template. It looks great and is a great skin, however, when I activate the Cart Upsell module with it, the side boxes are all out of position on the shopping cart page. When I remove the Cart Upsell include (require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_CART_UPSELL)); ) from the tpl_shopping_cart_default.php template file, the side boxes return to normal. Does anyone have any ideas?

I want to alter the product info page to look like the attached screen shot called "newlayout" Also included "default" as a reference.

Can this be done in if so what php file do I make these changes or is it in the css or both?
