Yes, I already tried that...this isn't the search header, the search header is on the right at the top, this is on the left and it's id is quickfind.

Hi!

I am REALLY a newb...

I'm helping my daughter fiddle with a test Zen Cart.

I'm an old hand at computer programming, just not PHP, Zen Cart, eCommerce, etc.

I loaded Cherry Zen to her test site.
I photoshopped her logo so that it is 1000 px wide (trying for the banner effect - it's what she has on her existing store www.williamjamestrading.com (you may have already looked, she emailed you - unfortunately you are too busy to quote right now - I hope this means bidness is great!!)
I edited the css (on the test ZenCart) so that the logo seems to display correctly, although I'm going to play with the width (later).
I tried to set up the side bars, but "tools/layout boxes controller" in the admin doesn't seem to work the way you say it should...

I get a list that has entries that look like:

Code:

---

D:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\inetpub\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\domainidXXXX\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\zencart/includes/modules/sideboxes/search_header.php

---

If I click on one of these, the page merely refreshes. Is it skronked in any way (or is this normal)?

BTW - other work I've done:
I downloaded a backup of her SQL Server database from the existing store, and built several Excel worksheets of her product list with groups (as they are now), ID's, Names, Descriptions,Pics (there is a problem with this part),Tax Code, and a few other things. I am trying to get to the point where I could upload to the Zen Cart...

I would show the URL for the test site, but it's not secure yet (got warnings I haven't figured out yet)...

Me being stupid again...I turned off the search header which didn't remove the search function, however just turning it off wasn't enough, I also had to turn the single column status off also...so problem resolved.
Thanks

Once you click on it, you've just selected it, you have to select the "edit" button on the right, or, just go to the green "e" for the sidebox you want to turn on or off.

I'm not sure if you have a question with the above. If your previous store is not a zen cart, I don't know how easy it will be to transfer data like that.

Thanks!!

As for my first question, color me stoopid... Why didn't I see the gigantic horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page?? To the right is way over to the right. Oh well, you fixed that with a little hint. Thanks!

As for Question 2, you're right, this was not a Zen Cart, so lots of work to do..
One of the next "First things to do" is to set up new categories in Zen Cart...
Allison (my daughter) will have to do that. Then we'll have to map products from the old categories to the new. I wish I knew what the best structure for categories in ZC is..

As for the images... I'm still thinking.....

Thanks for your help, I realize this isn't really Cherry Zen related. I'll find the right place for my future questions!

There's a download called easy populate, that may help you. It's in the download section, under "Admin Tools"

Hi,

I guess this is strictly a question about Order Steps Edition 2, but since jadetrue has kindly pre-integrated this into Cherry Zen I'm hoping that this forum will be full of people who are familiar with this mod.

I'm trying to get the Order Number to appear on the Review Order page. I need to do this as I'm allowing Direct Debit payments into my bank account and I want customers to use the Order Number as a reference when they make the payment. This will make it much easier for me to link up the payment to the order.

I've tracked it down as far as includes/modules/checkout_process.php:

Code:

---

Line #67 : $insert_id = $order->create($order_totals, 2);
Line #73 : $_SESSION['order_number_created'] = $insert_id;

---

I tried to put the following in includes/languages/english/modules/payment/dirbank.php:

Code:

---

"Please use the following details to transfer your total order value:\n\n" .
"\nReference: " . $insert_id .

---

but it didn't know what $insert_id was so just left a blank.

This example shows the dirbank module, but the question is the same for any payment module.

Has anyone come up against this one before?

Thanks!

Possum.

HI!

Actually, I think this has nothing to do with order steps, as all order steps does is shows what page of the order process you're on.

Also, I think that it is absolutely impossible to give an order number until the order is complete. As far as I know, an order number doesn't exist until the order is complete, so, there's no way to "call" the order number beforehand. I would ask this in the general forum, but I'm pretty sure what you want to do is impossible.
