I just ran across this problem myself.
Make sure you copy the tags correctly. I found when I copied it the last part of the wording was missing. the " / > just did not show up when I cut and pasted the info from Google.
Also check the Google example of what it should look like. I found that helpful.

I am using the cherry zen template on v1.3.8a. Everything is working great.
I changed the width of the side boxes per the readme_or_else.
After the change the left sideboxes dropped down. I am brand new at coding so I don't know where to look. Been searching the forums and haven't found anything.
Thanks
Bill
Jade, thanks for a great cart and some super instructions. I have been working on customizing some areas of the cart and when I get to the 3 step confirmation page the background of the entire cart goes to the blue that normally surrounds the cart except in the header banner area which remains white. This blue conceals some of the gray text on the progress bar and competes with the text in the center column. The right sidebox has disappeared which I think is the correct behavior but the left side box has gone from gray to blue as well. Is this the expected behavior or have I broken something? If I broke something, where should I look to fix it? Thanks!
daymobrew - the site is still local but here are two screenshots illustrating what I'm questioning. Thanks!
I would love to visit the site to use the Firebug Firefox extension to see why the the background colour is not being displayed correctly. As it is a local site I cannot do this.
It might be an unclosed html tag. I suggest saving the html for the problem page and uploading the saved file to the W3C HTML Validator.
Hi, Can anyone help?
In IE my header menu off position (attached pic)
I don't know what to fix to make it right.
Thanks in advance,
Bimo
I would like a broader side room where they are displayed categories. Since my description of the categories does not occur in a class .... So where should I start.
- Obviously, the two column extended.
Thank you.
I've installed cherry zen
It looks very good.
But i have a problem.
De leftboxes width isn't correct.
De header of the leftboxes is wider than the background of the boxes.
Also see attachment
Can anyone help me please?

Hi I am completing the cherry zen template installation on 1.3.8 and everythingsd going well except the columns are all messed up in the shopping cart. I've pulled out all my hair allready trying to figure out what is causing it so I'm hoping someone else has an idea.
Here's a link to the page: http://www.bedsideplaythings.com/index.php?main_page=shopping_cart
Thanks in advance for the help
I just installed it from scratch followings the readme.txt file and it went in fine.
What did you do after installing it. You obviously change the colors and the .gif files. Did you change the column width's because yours are wider than the standard install? Try to remember all that you did. What about the .css file, any changes there?
I've had a minor problem of the popup image not centering within the popup frame on the product page when 'larger image' was clicked. Part of the image was being 'cut off' at the bottom of the popup frame. In other words, the image wasn't centering within the frame - top, bottom, left and right. I don't believe it's an issue directly related to the Cherry Zen template as it appears to be a core ZC file that needs editing.
While I'm not, at all, a programmer and don't know PHP that well I did a little experimenting and believe I've solved this issue. For those who may have this problem with this template (or any other template that displays this), here's the fix:
Open 'includes/modules/pages/popup_image/jscript_main.php'.
To adjust the popup frame height:
Go to about line 13 and find this code. The 'i=xx' of the if/else statement sets the height of the frame for various browsers. Making this height adjustment will 'center' the image vertically within the top and bottom of the frame. As I tested I just watched for somewhat even spacing between the top of the frame and image and the bottom of the frame and image (both being somewhat even). It may take several tries for each browser setting to get it right.
To set the width of the popup frame go to about line 33 and look for:Code:var i=0;
function resize() {
i=0;
// if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') i=20;
if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 6.0') != -1 && window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf('SV1') != -1) {
i=30; //This browser is Internet Explorer 6.x on Windows XP SP2
} else if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 6.0') != -1) {
i=0; //This browser is Internet Explorer 6.x
} else if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Firefox') != -1 && window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows") != -1) {
i=44; //This browser is Firefox on Windows
} else if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mozilla') != -1 && window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows") != -1) {
i=45; //This browser is Mozilla on Windows
} else {
i=80; //This is all other browsers including Mozilla on Linux
}
Adjust the '20' to whatever frame width you'd like that gives even and equal spacing between the edges of the image and the frame, left and right.Code:imgWidth = document.images[0].width+20;
Another setting to adjust is at line 32 but try the above-mentioned settings first to see if that centers the image:
(The default to this setting is 40)Code:imgHeight = document.images[0].height+85-i;
It's important to note that ALL of my images are the same size (125x125, 220x220 and 420x420). Having irregular-sized images will have you pulling your hair out as you test/check different product images. Example: if one image is 220 px's high and another is 190 px's high....
I tested using various browsers and setting each to look symetrically even for both width and height. This will probably work for any template having this problem.
Hope this helps a few folks...
Yea I changed the columns to 170ox from 150px. Changed them in both places in admin and in the css file. I also removed the centering from the logo and removed the tagline. That's about it. But I can't find why the columns would display differently in the cart but fine in the rest of the store.
Thanks for your help.
Ok but the problem is in the admin control panel. Once they were - the meta tags. (The icon is still) but does not open ... (Of categories for articles and fortunately they are!)
?

yup I just removed the text. here's the css for that.

I would like to add a Contact Us link to the navMain menu. However, the addition of another link forces the generation of a second line of text which then pushes the header down - Visually not so nice.
I reduced the font size of the navMain menu but the second line is generated nonetheless.
I could probably achieve the desired result by deactivating the search header but would prefer not to. The link to this customer site can be found here.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
Yea I know. I re-installed a new, unmodified, copy and have the same problem. I am migrating to this template from the "Clean Business" template, which worked fine. I can't figure out what would be causing this. I thought mabe the ultra large logo. But the smaller "cherry" logo does the same. I put all the columns back to default and everythings the same. Re-uploaded the whole template again and left unmodified and was still having this problem. It does this on the "main_page=product_reviews_info" page as well. This is the only 2 I can find so far. What do these 2, and only these 2, have in common that I'm not picking up on?
Thanks
Jeremy
Well, this is a tough one, at least for me. A quick fix would be to turn the right side column off when you go to the shopping cart.
Do this in the includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_main.page.php
Look for:add the code in red to that line and when they go to the shopping cart, it will shut off the left column and come back on if they continue to shop.Code:// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'account_history_info,login,shopping_cart,checkout_payment,checkout_confirmation,tracker,no_account,list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
I would need to see your php files in order for me to fix it. It has to be something wrong in one of your php files, but which one, I do not know as I am unable to duplicate it here, but I have verified your css is fine.
JT

This doesn't change the cart page at all. both columns are still displayed. Both columns are displayed in the review page as well but differently now http://www.bedsideplaythings.com/ind...3&reviews_id=2
It's really kind of you to take all this time to help me. I really do appreciate it. Validating it it seems as though there's a couple of tables broken but I just can't pinpoint where exactly it is.
Jeremy
JT - thanks so much, you solved my problem! :)
Where can I turn of the right column? I will only be using left column side boxes.
I've changed my layout settings to;
Column right Status - Global = 0
I tested this in the Default Zen template and it worked great but not in Cherry Zen, there must be an override somewhere that I am not seeing.
The template looks like it is still leaving space for the right side boxes.
Start by removing or commenting out these in the stylesheet.css file
on line 64 and then remove or comment out this:Code:background:url("../images/sidebox.gif") 100% 0 repeat-y; /* This is the right column background "faked" with an image. */
on line 195. This will get rid of the gray background on the right side and make the center larger to the right.Code:padding-right: 170px; /* Our right column width */
BTW: This is actually explained in the readme_or_else.txt file that comes with Cherry Zen
JT
Has anyone updated their Cherry Zen to the new version 1.3.9
Any Problems?
Mark
Is your store running 1.3.8, or 1.3.9? My store is running 1.3.8 I am a little hesitant on updating it.
http://www.classic-flatware.com
Mark
Currently on 1.38a, but I have done several new installs of 1.39a and tested it on them. I have copied my Store to another server, including the database and upgraded it. I had to comb thru the code as I have a lot of mods installed and I didn't want to lose them. The database updated without any trouble. Cherry Zen worked fine there too. I have the luxury of running my own servers and I have several test installs on them.
Now that I did the upgrade on my store in a test environment, I can copy that one to the live store when I am ready to do it.
If you have added a lot of mods, other than templates, you will have to go thru the code using something like WinMerge or Beyond Compare.
Just remember, before starting BACKUP EVERYTHING, CODE & DATABASE
Good Luck :D
JT
Hello.
I am using the new release of Zencart (1.39a) and am creating a site using the Cherry template.
One problem I have encountered is that as I create new categories/products they appear in both the left sidebox (which I want) but also in the top center of each page, spreading out sideways from the center (which I don't want).
How do I prevent that from happening?
Also, I want to remove the "Home" from the bottom of the page as I don't feel it serves much purpose.
I can't yet post a link to the site but if it becomes necessary I will do so tomorrow.
This is a terrific template by the way.
Thank you.
Dinner comes first so no rush (though if you hang around for a protracted desert i might have something to say :P ).
Thanks for that first piece. Don't spend too much time on the latter if you don't have a solution in mind; it's a nice to have not a need to have.
Cheers! :hug:
OK, I was right about it being in tpl_footer.php, but Cherry Zen has it's own tpl_footer.php in cherry_zen/common
Also, if Ezpages are turned on, that will have it as well. So 3 places to look
/includes/templates/template_default/common
/includes/templates/cherry_zen/common
admin layout pages - ezpages
:shocking:
It may take me a while to figure this out.
Mark
http://www.classic-flatware.com
Err, which piece of code was it that I needed to un-comment?
Thanks.
It was remove or comment out.
In Cherry-Zen and template_default, this line appears at or around line 30 in the includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_footer.php
and includes/templates/template_deafult/common/tpl_footer.php
Code:<?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
Thank you.
Hi,
I am using 1.3.9 and would like to install this great template. I am a bit unclear. If I copy the "includes" folder to my website under the Zen Cart "includes" folder, it creates an "includes" sub-directory below the "includes".
Is that correct and, if so, does that allow me to upgrade Zen Cart in the future without disturbing this template and changes I make to it? (eg: does it follow the Override System?)
Or, do I need to create sub-directories as I have when adding templates to other sites, looking for all the "template_default" and "classic" sub-directories and then place each file in the appropriate place?
It appears the former, because the instructions say that no files are overwritten as I am using 1.3.9, but I want to be sure.
Thank you for this fine contribution :smile:
Klaus
Thanks for the template, I love it!
The way I have done this is to just FTP the new templates include folder to the store folder (same folder that includes on the store is in, not under it) and tell it to merge the folders. You do NOT create an includes under the includes, what is inside the template includes goes into the original includes folder.
On windows, I just copied the folder on top of the includes folder and it just merged the folders and files.
JUST REMEMBER. ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE ADDING ANY MODIFICATIONS!
Hi,
I would like to replace the 4 dots that show between list items on the EZ Page navigation, but have not been able to find that code or any css that controls them.
Does anyone know where I could go to change them to something else?
Thanks, Klaus
Thanks VERY much, JT! (I feel kinda dumb - never looked there)
I apologize if I miised this in my search. Is there a plan to update this template for 1.3.9x, or is the winmerge path the only solution?
Thanks
Found the problem to the column issue I was having. For some reason Line breaks in the product descriptions were causing the side columns to creep over into the middle of the page.
I know this should be straight forward... but I cannot figure it out.
I have background #CDFE72 main area white and trying to get sideboxes #FFFF99. Bellow gives sideboxes light blue.
How do I change the colour of sideboxes???
Code:body {
background:#CDFE72; /* main site background color, blue default */
#contentMainWrapper {
background:url("../images/sidebox.gif") 100% 0 repeat-y; /* This is the right column background "faked" with an image. -- WOULD LIKE #FFFF99 */
background-color:#FFF; /*background color for the main "content" of the site ; */
}
#contentMainWrapperb {
background: url("../images/sidebox.gif") 0 0 repeat-y; /* This is the left column background "faked" with an image. -- WOULD LIKE #FFFF99*/
}
I just upgraded to the latest version of zen cart (v1.3.9b) and now my product detail pages background disappears in firefox, but when I view the same page in IE its fine. Is anyone else having the same problem? Is there a way to fix this?
check out the problem here:
http://www.pinkupixie.com/store/inde...roducts_id=439
Any help greatly appreciated
OK, just realized that on both browsers my side boxes are not showing up either? UGH!
I get the same thing it only happens when I go to a product's individual info page. And I have no clue why it does that.
Check your templates/cherryzen/common/tpl_main_page.php file and see if you have something like this line:
This turns off side boxes for pages where you do not want it to display. Check to see if product_info is listed there, if it is remove it.Code:if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'account_history_info,checkout_payment,checkout_confirmation,product_info,list_pages_to_skip_all_right_side boxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
}
Your side boxes are not in your code when you go to the product_info page, so either it is turned off or you added or removed something, as far as I can tell.
There is a separate line for the right side but has the same data.
I installed cherry zen on my zencart, i followed the links to upload the includes of the cherry zen to the includes of the weberver but the template is not showing on the admin under template selection.What is wrong? please help..
I already did that, copied all the includes folder of the cherry zen to the includes folder of our webserver, actually this is my second time to install this. The first time i installed this is on zencart 1.3.8 and now i am using zencart 1.3.9..is there any issue on this version with the cherry zen?
after reinstalling to 1.3.8 now my cherry zen is working. Can anyone help me how can i change the theme to color blue instead of red?
This was taken right from the readme_or_else.txt file that comes with Cherry Zen
2. Multiple colors for the top header bar, and for the sidebox headers have been included. These colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and grey. These can be changed in includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css. Instructions for doing so are found there.:shocking: I've also included matching add to cart buttons. They are found in the includes/templates/cherry_zen/buttons/english/ folder. Simply rename the color you want to use to button_in_cart.gif.
I love this template, thank you for sharing:smile:
I've checked this thread and can't find anything specific to this.
I am staying within the 64 character/space length for my product name on my product pages but they still are being cut off at the end when I look at a product page with a lengthy product name, even with a product name length of 60 or less.
Where in the stylesheet.css would I change the product name length or is it the font size that's the culprit? Is it one of the H1, H2, H3, etc, font sizes I would need to adjust for size and if so which Hx font reflects the product name?
Thanks!
Thanks, JTheed. I stand corrected. I should know better having seen your same question hundreds of times throughout this forum...:D...and an example always helps.
After doing a little more research I have found the problem and I thank you for your response.

Hi,
I have a problem that i cant find an answer to, i have tried searching the forum. Ive got cherry zen installed, but i have a problem with not being able to have line spaces on the main page or the product descriptions making it appear squashed up. Its

I am trying to edit the pages using the HTML editor. I have tried editing with plain text and putting <p> but its still the same.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Just a little note for everyone who uses Host Gator. If you want to upgrade to 1.9.b you can use their Fantastico De Luxe to upgrade if you used that program to install Zen cart. It did write over my home page, and reinstall the CONGRATULATIONS Message. But that can be fixed .

Good day all, and a big thanks to Jade True for the work on this template.
I have a uncustomized new install of 1.3.9c zencart.
No add ons, security mesures updated.
My question: I have over 2000 products to upload via Easy Poulate 2.7i
What would be this forums reccomendations on sequencing.
Should I do the Easy Populate first then install the Cherry template or Cherry first.
Also per the various instruction sets, should I create a clean custom template first to make sure the clean install of ZenCart is functioning correctly.

I noticed that somehow my 2 extra pictures on my product info page are missing. I have the product picture then the description under that. Now under the description should be 2 extra photos of the item. They are now missing.
I have been to Catalog/product Types/ then general. The show product additional images is (1) = on.
I was changing a couple items in the Tools/ layout boxes controller. Could I have messed up something there?:oops:

Hello.
First - sorry for my english.
I have a problem with boxes. There is no problem to change the size of boxes, the problem is to change size of column under boxes (gray color). When sign of product in category section is too long its look like on the picture. How to fix it ? How to change this gray column.
I checked on the classic template and everything is ok, I can change column width. I think it's a problem with cherry zen template.

Thank YOU for Your help.
Will somebody help me on this forum?
From the readme_or_else.txt file that COMES WITH Cherry Zen:
2. To change the background color behind the sideboxes, open up /includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/sidebox.gif in your favorite image editor and change the color, save and re-upload.
So you see, the color is from a gif file so your width problem will be close by. Read the WHOLE readme_or_else.txt file and you will find a lot of answers there!
Thanx. Everything ok.
The official support thread for Cherry Zen http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72703 should give you a clue (contains about 300 pages though ....) :smile:

You can download it from here WinMerge then if the template uses any zen cat file compare them in winmerge and merge the difference.
Thank you.
I am assuming that
goes in the stylesheet.css?HTML Code:background:url("../images/your_image.jpg") repeat;
yes, you assume correctly, in the body section.
where did you find that file at I did a search of my site with filezilla and could not locate it. please suply the path. My css has got messed up after doing an upgrade to 1.3.9d all the white is missing from the page the blue background showes thru.
Or if anyone has updated to the new 1.3.9d and has had this issue please advise how you fixed it.
http://shopping.freearticlepublishing.com so you can see what I mean.
cart_upsell.php is the file looking for post did not quote previous post up a few.
Your all blue background is because of this line in your stylesheet.css around line 233
Your saying no picture just the blue color. Either change that for some picture or add other backgrounds where you want them.Code:body {
