I had played around with that setting but then realised that for some reason I was editing the css in the downloaded template folder and not the one in my cart! DOH!!:laugh: Guess I'm sitting in front of the computer for too long!

Now I am trying to get the product info page looking the way I would like. I've been playing around with tpl_product_info_display and have moved the add to cart button up and to the right of the price area, although not exactly where I wanted it. But I have been having no joy with moving the write a review button to be in line with the tell a friend button instead of below it. That way the product description will show up without having to scroll down the page, I've found that unfortunately many people don't even know to scroll down a page! Do I do this in that tpl_ file or in the css?

I tried to add a link to wishlists under the add to cart button, I added the code directly under the add to cart code in the tpl_ file but it was always going to the left of add to cart - pretty much under the price/model number/quantity in stock area. Any suggestions? I plan on creating an image button for wishlist in the near future.

I've attached a couple of screenshots. Screenshot.jpg is how it looks now, screenshot1.jpg is how I want it to look although I am open to style suggestions. I might want to relocate the tell a friend and review buttons elsewhere on the page or even eliminate them altogether. Again, I'm open to any suggestion.:smile:

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help. I am learning more and more every day so hopefully soon I won't have to ask so many noob questions! If you are ever in the market for an African style hand drum, a snare drum or drum kit for yourself or your family I am quite happy to give you a nice discount!:smile:

Thanks again,

Matt

HI Jettrue
very nice template, I tried to solve my problem myself but I couldn't get the nice results.
well, I used cherry zen template, but I need to have my site to be Right to Left , so, in the other templates in stylsheet.css I did very few changes in the file and it works: for example: I chang this #mainWrapper {
background-color: #1a1a1a;
text-align: RIGHT; DIRECTION:RTL;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
FONT-SIZE:12PX;
}

with some changes in float's and it works. in cherry zen I didn't find
#main wrapper , and with some changes in #nw , #contentMainWrapper(b) , .content etc, I couldn't get a nice layout, would you please help me to solve this problem.

thanks

They're spaced out because I think they look better that way.... Also, I don't find them excessively spaced, but that's just one opinion. :cool:

But you can easily adjust that in the css. Also, notice the zip code is out of whack, you just need to change


LABEL.inputLabel {
width:85%;
float:left;
margin:0.3em;
}

to


LABEL.inputLabel {
width:90%;
float:left;
margin:0.3em;
}

You can remove that margin:0.3em; from the above, and that will decrease spacing, and also in the css, you can adjust the margin for the INPUT tag, to decrease spacing.

Hi Matt,
Okeedokee. You'll probably need to make a change or two in the stylesheet and the template file. Also, you can turn off tell a friend and reviews if you like in your admin, just go to "Catalog", then "Product Types", then choose "Edit Layout", and the options are there. You can also turn on Tell a Friend or Review sidebox, turn them off on the page, so that you regain some real estate on the product page. Those sidebox will only show up when you're on a product page.

If you could show me a link to your store, I could get specific css and instructions for you to get things to layout correctly. You can PM me if you don't want it public yet.

Hey,


I have also downloaded the template, really nice.

I have just 1 problem.

The field postcode , is always on the right side of the screen.

how can i get the input field eon the left side, like all other fields?

Please see attach.


Many thanks

Kind regards
Kristof

I've never done this before, I'm not really sure how to help, if you could send me a link (or pm if you like), or send screenshots with specific spots that need reworking, I could do my best to help. But I've tried a few things with my template, and to be honest I can't wrap my head around what its supposed to do.

In includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css, change

LABEL.inputLabel {
width:85%;
float:left;
margin:0.3em;
}

to


LABEL.inputLabel {
width:90%;
float:left;
margin:0.3em;
}

Thanks again for all your help, the site is starting to look like a real store again.

I have a couple more conundrums for you to figure out.

1. Not all of my sub-categories show up on the master category page. They show in the column but not as links in the center column.

2 I have my patterns listed in their master categories and several alternate categories (love that feature!) but I've discovered that when I choose a pattern from the main category to view the individual details I notice the links in the breadcrumbs change to the first additional category I have placed the item in and not the original master category. Why is that?

3. When I go to the multiple categories manager not all of the categories are listed.

1. None of your main categories are showing on the home page. You have to turn that option on. "Configuration", "Layout Settings", "Categories - Always Show on Main Page"

2. Thats just how zen cart works with master categories for now. There should be improvements to that coming in future versions.

3. I'm not sure, I'd ask that in the General Forum.

It would be really helpful if you posted your link as well, so I wouldn't have to search for a post with your website when you ask a question.

Additional note

on #2 - this happens specifically on the Patterns by Designer Category: Lois Ericson as I have her patterns copied to at least 3 different categories (Ladies, Art to Wear and then the specific category such as Jackets). I checked to see if this was happening to any other pattern company and it doesn't. The only thing I did different with that designer was on the Multiple categories page I used the link on the bottom to link all of the patterns to one specific category to save myself time.

Beth-Katherine

:oops: Just tested everything and it's fine with the links from the main category page on the left.

THE problem comes when you click on the links on the left from the manufacturers links. Choose Lois Ericson on the list and you will see what I mean.

I'm sorry, I have very little input on this, if you have more questions about it, I'd start a new topic in the forum. :smile:

My site is www.theindiemusicshop.com

Ok another thing... and I am willing to donate for this help... I want my shop to be a music CD shop... Can you tell me how to have artist info show like that of the manufacturers info box?

Hi there,

The bar below the logo is called the ezpages bar. To turn that on, go to "Configuration", "Ezpages Settings", and turn it on for the "Header Bar"

When you say "I would like the music product info page setup like the normal product info page" do you mean you want the default zen cart product info layout? If so, you can just delete the custom tpl_product_info_display.php from includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates.

It looks like you have the artist list on. I'm not following what you mean by "I also a Artist list like that of the manufacturers list".

I also need more detail on this one: "Can you tell me how to have artist info show like that of the manufacturers info box?" I see you have the artist info box on as well. How would you like it different?

Hi and thank you for the reply. I followed these instructions
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Using_Flash

I can not show you anything because when I add the code they say to add to the tpl_header.php, no logo shows on my site at all, so I really can't show you anything.

But showing me the site could show me what the issue is...

Hi Jade,

I am trying to remove the border around my Featured Products, New Products and Monthly Specials. I also would like the background to be white and include an image to the left of the wording. I have a floral image that matches the image to the left of the Welcome to Sleepless Nights Online.
I have tried adding the following to my css with no luck. I have tried various combinations for the css but no luck. This worked on the old one but it was tables.

Quote:

---

.centerBoxHeading { margin: 1.1em; background:url(../images/flowers.gif) no-repeat left center; padding: 1px 3px 2px 19px; color:#4f4f4f; font-size:14px; line-height:30px; font-weight:bold;}

---

Any idea how I can do this with this one?

Thanks in advance,
Kelly

I followed this direction, still the same problem. When I turned on the Category on Main Menu, the welcome messages shows, but when I turned it off, the message will not show but instead this "HEADING_TITLE" will show. You can see it on my site now.

Can you please do step by step guideline on how to solve the problem, such as actual demonstration of it. I have played with the codes above, but nothing works.

thanks,

Your code works just fine, you just didn't erase my coding for centerboxheading. Search the file for other instances of .centerboxheading, erase mine, and then your will work. :smile:

If HEADING_TITLE is showing, that means there is a problem in the language file.
Around line 32 in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php, you need another like this:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Available Products');
if you want it blank, it should be this:

define('HEADING_TITLE', '');

My advice to you is to reload the original. Also, make sure you are changing the right file (are you changing the one inside your template folder, or the one inside english/)?

I deleted the one inside the english folder, using only from the template folder.

Thanks for your advice. You have been helpful. I'll send a donation as soon as I start making money on the site.
One question, how do I change the color of the product price on the main page. I can't seem to locate it on the css file.

thanks,

Well, is not designed to be changed by default. You will need to make some changes in a few files. There is currently no style surrounding the price, so if you want to style it, you'll need to add a <div> around that section.

Open up

includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/new_products.php,
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/featured_products.php,
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/specials_index.php

Find this piece of code:

'</a><br />' . $products_price

change ONLY THAT to this (make sure you're replacing the exact code above):

'</a><br /><span class="indexPrice">' . $products_price . '</span>'

Then you'll be able to style it in the css like this:

.indexPrice {color:#990000;}

where in the css do I insert the code?

I'm looking to customize the bg image in the EZPages header. I'm editing the lines:

#navEZPagesTop {
background:url("../images/ezbg.gif") repeat-x;
text-align: right /* grey background image behind ezpages section */
}

in the file: /includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css but nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

how do you change the color of the rollovers for Home, Log in, etc? I created a new color in the images folder and updated the colors, however, the individual buttons aren't the correct color.

I cant seem to locate anything in stylesheet.css. Please HELP!!!

Did you see the BIG color section in the css? (very first section of the stylesheet.css)

Did you upload a whole folder of your colors? Did you change the folder name in the css?

It doesn't matter where.

One more question.

On the product listing page I am using columns (2) and was wondering how do I go about changing the arrangement of the listing.

Right now the image loads in first, the price, then add to the cart, then the title. I would like to put the title ABOVE the image or just below it above the price as where it is now it's confusing as it looks like it's part of the product below. I change what where?

Also how do I add in some space above the product image?

If you go to "configuration", "product listing", The number that you give the item determines its order. For example, right now you might have image as 1, price as 2, add to cart as 3, and title as 4. Change the numbers around, and it will change.

You can add space above the image with this:

.centerBoxContentsProducts {padding-top:10px;}

Yes, I see the BIG color section. I renamed the old "red" folder, and created my own new "red" folder with the bg images i like. I made sure they were the same size and same name. I uploaded the new "red" folder to the server at:
includes/templates/cherry_zen/images.

So i shouldnt have had to change anything in the CSS. The header image, and sidebox images are changed with no problem, just not the main nav buttons or rollovers. See www.chroniccaraudio.com/shop to see what i mean.

Actually they did change, as those are not the rollovers I created. However, it looks like you need to flip your rollover images, as you put the darker color (which is the hover), on top:

http://www.chroniccaraudio.com/shop/.../tabrightE.gif

and in the ones I made the darker color goes on bottom:

http://www.cherryzen.jadetrue.com/in.../tabrightE.gif

The rollover and non-rollover are combined into one image, and the css is what causes it to "change" upon roll over. The bottom half of the image should be the same color as your header.gif, and the top half should be your rollover color. So you just need to do a little tweaking of tabRightE_last.gif, labrightE.gif, and tableft.gif actually isn't necessary, I need to just delete it in my next update.

I'm new to Zen Cart and am just getting my first one up and running. I ran into a problem where when I tried to use images for attribute selection, if I tried using 2 images per row, they would overlap each other.

I know now that I posted and asked for help in the wrong area, it should have been here, but I did find some help and got the problem resolved. It was suggested that I post here to let you know what it was. Here is the thread.

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75065

A couple of quick, I hope, questions. First, is there a global setting to NOT show the quantity box on the product page? I found a couple of settings that I thought should do it but they don't. The Add Button and "QTY" box still show up. I've found where to turn it off in each individual product pricing page but isn't there a global setting to do it?

Also, is there a way to move the "Add to Cart" button to the bottom of the product page, after all the attributes and etc?

Thanks

First question, as far as I know, you have to turn it off for each product, or comment out the section that causes the qty box if you know that NONE of your products will need it. That would be done in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_product_info_display.php

To move the add to cart, open up the same file, find the add to cart section (its all divided into nice sections, cut it and paste it where you want it! :smile:

text-align: right /* grey background image behind ezpages section */
}

in the file: /includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css but nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Those are the right lines. Could I see a site? What are you trying to change? What are you changing it to?

---

the site is www.chroniccaraudio.com/shop. I'm trying to update the gray bar behind the "Chronic Car Audio Home" link

---

Thanks for answering my other question it worked great. I just need help with this. If I change the above background:url("..images/ezbg.gif") repeat-x; to anything, there is no change. I even tried changing the line to background:url("..images/foo.gif") repeat-x; which obviously doesnt exist, and it appeared unchanged. I cant seem substitute anything for the default.

To move the add to cart, open up the same file, find the add to cart section (its all divided into nice sections, cut it and paste it where you want it! :smile:

Thank you very much. I did manage to move the "add to cart" button using your instructions. Haven't manage to comment out the line to display the quantity box yet but I'll keep messing with it. Many thanks for your help.

Here's the section for the qty box commented out:

Code:

---

//  if ($products_qty_box_status == 0 or $products_quantity_order_max== 1) {
              // hide the quantity box and default to 1
              $the_button = '<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" />' . zen_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_IN_CART, BUTTON_IN_CART_ALT);
          // } else {
              // show the quantity box
 //  $the_button = PRODUCTS_ORDER_QTY_TEXT . '<input type="text" name="cart_quantity" value="' . (zen_get_buy_now_qty($_GET['products_id'])) . '" maxlength="6" size="4" /><br />' . zen_get_products_quantity_min_units_display((int)$_GET['products_id']) . '<br />' . zen_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_IN_CART, BUTTON_IN_CART_ALT);

You've got two stylesheets online. Delete the stylesheet_081007.css from the server.

Interesting. So, it checks for stylesheet*.css? It worked fine, thanks!

Hi Jettrue,
Sorry I haven't been online. Computer problems ya know:smile: I would like to have the brighter purple for the side boxes. Thank you for your help!:cool:

Hi everyone, I am new to everything. This is the first online store that I have tried to set up. I started with oscommerce (way to much to know) then I heard of zen. Easier and cleaner setup for me. Well I found the cherry zen template and love the way it looks. My site is going to be at ltdammo.com. I will be selling firearm ammunition. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help make a logo for me that is similar in size and quality to the cherry zen logo.. I would be willing to pay, or buy any software that I may need. Just don't know where to start. This forum has been great in helping me install the zen software, and the cherry zen template. Any help would really be appreciated.

Hello, I was woundering what files are using to make the roll over effect or how it was done? I would like to incorporate this into my existing site... Cool looking temp!

Thanks!

Hey Jade I just wanted you to know that I fixed the problem of my site changing font sizes at random times. The problem was with my languages/english/header.php file as somehow the beginning code was changed when my database was reloaded by the server from


<?php

to

'<?php

which showed the character ' at the very top left of the file and caused the font size to shift.

Problem solved.

Oh and for your info the header links don't work in Safari 1.2.2 - circa 2003 nor will it work for IE 5.2 for Mac. I can open up the admin panel but the website will not load in. Good to know.

First you'll need to change the width of the sideboxes in the admin, under "Configuration", "Layout Settings". Make sure to change both sideboxes in both places.

Then in the css, this section contains the changes you'll need to make:

Code:

---

.outer {
    padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
    padding-right: 150px; /* Our right column width */
    }
 
.inner {
    width: 100%;
    }
 
.float-wrap {
    float: left;
    width: 97%;
    margin-left: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
    }
 
#content {
    float: right;
    margin-right: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
    width: 100%;
    line-height:1.6;
    position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
    }
 
.contentWrap{
    padding: 5px 0 5px 5px;
    }
 
#navColumnOne {
    float: left;
    position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
    }
 
#navColumnTwo {
    float: right;
    margin-right: -150px; /* This negative margin-right value is in this example the same as the right column width. */
    position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
    }

---

You'll change the 150px to the width of your sideboxes. Let's say you choose 170px, then you'll need to also increase all of the 165px by 20px, to 185px.

I *believe* that's all you'll need to do, let me know how it works out.

---

Just coming back with feedback for this. All advice given has worked :clap:

Thanks alot :)

Hi,

I have managed to edit the part below where you enter the company name and where it says sagefish, so it looks better, but ontop of all that there is a single link that says "home" which I would like removed from there. Any idea how?

Website: www.notebookwebsite.co.uk

Thanks

Oh and also any way I can align the header banner (Google) To the right of the template? How can I do that?

Thanks

Hi,
Sorry not the google banner but the one next to the logo.

You'll need to open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_header.php and remove this:

<li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

I would answer your following question, but I don't see a google banner next to the logo.

Thanks

Hi everyone. I am trying to set up my first store. How do I remove the zen cart e-book from the center column. Also how do you remove the Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution. Simple terms would be best since I am quite new to zen.

Hi,

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...lations+remove

that will answer your question. There are many topics on this type "Congradulations remove" in the search bar and you will see many threads. :yes:

Hello there.

i really love the buttons on the top left of the template such as HOME / MY ACCOUNT etc. i have added one to that line called WiSHLiST but that button goes underneath the others. i guess it is a stylesheet element that needs changing but i have had no success so far. My new button has been added to be visible when logged on if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

:smile::smile:

Thanks cyptc. I removed the congratulations, but I con not find anything on how to remove the e-book banner in the center column using the search. Probally just not searching for the right thing. Any help on removing it would make my life a whole lot eaiser.

Hi,

Can you give your website address please? Also by ebook do you mean ezpages bar? admin>Tools>ezpages Look in there it might be what your looking for. These questions are not template related though and I suggest a new thread for them :)

All you need to do is adjust the width of taglineWrapper, and remove tagline's padding:


Change:

Code:

---

#taglineWrapper {
        width:75%;
        float:left;
        }

#tagline {
        font-size:1.0em;
                    font-weight:bold;
        text-align:center;
        padding:25px 8px 35px 8px;
        }

---

to:

Code:

---

#taglineWrapper {
        width:45%;
        float:left;
        }

#tagline {
        font-size:1.0em;
                    font-weight:bold;
        text-align:center;
        padding:25px 8px 35px 8px;
        }

You'll probably just need to increase the width of #navMain in the css. :smile:

In your admin, go to "Tools", "Define Pages Editor", and choose "tpl_main_page.php".

Hi,

Jade Thanks, it worked great :)
FYI: Your link has been kept on the bottom of the site as the template designer, in appreciation for the great template and all the help and feedback given.

Thanks again.

Thanks! W00t!

Thanks, Jettrue that did the trick. I hope these are my last question for you guys. I would like to use a different shade of green. So how would I go about changing the predefined color of the buttons? And the Second question is how do I make my site w3c compliant. There is one error when I run my site against the w3c validator. You guys have been great. Thanks, for all the help.
Other than those questions everything is perfect with the Cherry Zen Template.:D

To use a different shade of green, you'd have to open the files in an image editor, and adjust the color, or ask me really really nice, LOL, to make some changes for you. Though I'm a little short for time at the moment, may take a while.

The error that is there really isn't an important one, it can be ignored. But if you really want it gone, open up includes/functions/extra_functions/search_field_header.php and change where it says:

$type = 'search'

to:

$type = 'text'

Now, people with Safari won't see the rounded search box at the top, but everyone else will still have the same rounded box.

First off thank you very much for the template!

When I view the one on your site there is a gray bar that separates the header from the main body with the Privacy link in it. Can you please tell me how to turn that on… without the separation between the two it doesn’t look right. Also, is there a way to change the gray color?

Thank you very much for your help!

That's the ezpages. Turn that on under "configuration", "EzPages settings"

You can upload a new image called:

includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/ezbg.gif

To replace the grey one.

Or if you want no image, and just want a background color there, in stylesheet.css, change this:

Code:

---

#navEZPagesTop {
        background:url("../images/ezbg.gif") repeat-x;  /* grey background image behind ezpages section */
        }

---

to this:

Code:

---

#navEZPagesTop {
        background:#000000;  /* grey background image behind ezpages section */
        }

---

of course replacing #000000 (black) with the color you want.

Thank you for the fast rsponse.

I do not have a "nav" setting there.... this is what I have.

Hi jettrue,

I would love to know why is that on this site (descreetlingerie . com) the template doesn't flow, being liquid. :dontgetit

Also why is my leftcolumn image repeating at the end (right side) of the template, eventhough I have a "no-repeat" statement.

This is the one that is repeating:

background:url("../images/headernav.jpg");

It doesn't have the no-repeat.

It looks liquid and flowing to me....

Doesn't look narrow to you on high resolution? Maybe needs some % increment... what do you think? :unsure:

Hi,

Im receiving the following error when the checkout page is clicked, (this error is being received only when the cart is empty)

When the cart is full it works fine.

I have attached a pic so that it can be seen without having 2 become a member.

Help well appreciated.

Is there a way to completely remove the right sidebar? I have searched through the forums and through this thread. I may be searching for the wrong words, but I could not find anything. I would like to right sidebar gone so that any text, images, etc, displayed in the, what is currently the center column, will be displayed all the way to the right side of the table.

I tried changing the values for the right sidebar to 0px and that did not do it. Just wondering. Thanks.

I'm working on an online store using this template and after I installed and selected as my main I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_draw_search_field() in /home/content/a/r/a/arachne54/html/store/includes/templates/cherry_zen/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php on line 19

I would like to know how to solve this problem so I can use the template. I went to the file stated, but not sure what to add or remove.

Thanks in advance!

You didn't upload all of the files for the template. Check to be sure you have uploaded includes/functions/extra_functions/search_field_header.php

When did I mention a "nav" setting?

The thing below the logo is the ezpages header bar. It looks like you already have it turned on. Now, did you add any ezpages yet? Go to "Tools" "Ezpages" and add a page to the ezpage header.

You have the power to turn off the right sidebox from the admin. "configuration", "layout settings", then you'll have to make the adjustments in the css.

Yep, we figured this out a few pages back, there is a bug in zen cart, and there is a missing div. See this post:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=188

I just installed your template, and love it! Great job! I do have a question though... I have my moniter settings set to display at 1280x1024, and the site looks just right. The other computer in the house is set to 1024x768, and I get a horizontal scroll bar when viewed at this resolution. What and where do I change the settings to fix this?

(Could it be as simple as resizing my logo/banner? It's 1000x200px)

I have looked in Configuration > Layout settings, I see Column Right Status - Global, and I have set that to 0 but the gray area still remains on the right. I am not sure what I need to change in the CSS. I am pretty new to ZC.

Remove the padding-right from the .outer section:

.outer {
padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
padding-right: 150px; /* Our right column width */
}

and remove the background image from contentMainWrapper.

Beautiful. Perfect. Thanks for the help. I found the background image on my own but still could not find where to remove the column.

Thanks for this template. I am new to zencart and I spent more than a month figuring out the template and getting mods like cross sell, google checkout ect and about 15 others to work. I came accross a simple on that I can't figure out

At http://www.westgreentraders.com, The horizontal menu under the logo, how do I remove the category menu and add the manufacturers list there?

It's not a simple answer, but I'd remove the section that controls the categories from common/tpl_drop_menu.php, and simply add the links manually using the same link structure as the other menu sections.

Hi jettrue very nice template :)

Um I have a few issues with it though...

When I disable to right sideboxes they boxes disappear, but the space is still there anyway to solve this? I tired getting rid of the width in the admin, but with no luck. Even doing a little editing to the TPL file, but still no progress.

I want the right side to disable on the product pages thats why I need this fixed, so customers can view the product images much larger.

Hi all,

I'm trying to use Cherry Zen on a book site and am using Moku's book product-type to get the extra fields that I need.

Unfortunately I've noticed that both Cherry Zen and the Book ProductType override the same file. I've looked at both versions to see if a simple manual merge would do the job, but it looks very much like the two files I have used different versions of the file as a starting point. My PHP is not good enough for me have confidence in doing this. I'll give it a go if necessary, but I was hoping that someone out there in Zen-land might have found a way around this problem.

The file in question is: /includes/modules/custom_template/product_listing.php

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Possum.

The grey background is controlled by content_bg.gif in the css.

The space is controlled by the padding-right of .outer:

.outer {
padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
padding-right: 150px; /* Our right column width */
}

Just use the one for the book type. You won't have the column grid layout mod working though. If that doesn't matter to you, then just use it as is, and if you'd prefer the column grid format, you can download that mod, see what needs to be added to that page, and simply get your hands dirty. All the other files will already be in place.

I love the template. Slight problem that I cannot figure out. When I started to test the checkout, I noticed I cannot alter the quantity of the products. It says to highlight the number, change and click the arrow circle. However, I cannot change the number. Any ideas what went wrong?

Hmm, this does not happen on my default install of cherry zen template, so I'm thinking its not template related. Could I see a link to your site I could take a quick peek, beyond that, I would suggest asking in the general forum.

I think it is related to the use of easy populate. I posted a question to the easy populate thread. It only seems to remove the quantity option for products that were loaded using easy populate and not the items manually entered.

Thanks for your time though (still love the template and all the work you do).

I had the same problem not being able to change the quantity ordered during checkout. Go into the product in the admin to edit it. Look for this option: Products Quantity Box Shows: and place a check mark next to Yes, Show Quantity Box . This solved my problem. Hope it helps!

Thank you for your help. That was the problem. The bigger problem is that I have over 8000 products affected by this. Changing each one would be an absolute nightmare. I guess I'll have to see if there is another way to fix this.
