To move the cart image up, you'll have to open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php, and find the chunk of code that is for the cart (its all neatly segregated into sections), and cut that chunk, and paste it below the image chunk.

As for the quantity box, each product, when you add it has an option for you to turn off the quantity box.

Then, in "configuration", "product info", you can change it so that every new product you add, will have "off" selected by default:

Product Quantity Box Status - Adding New Products

Hi again, you know I tried doing what you said but I had 2 images one that worked with pop up and the other worked with zen_lightbox. I really don't know what part to merge in the original file. If you could guide me through I would appreciate it.

no I did not install lightbox,
I do today install the lightbox
and thank you so much for the support
when I'm finished I show my site here
Ellen

It looks like its centered now... did you figure it out?

As far as the paypal question, I don't know, you may want to ask in the general forum.

?? no its still at the left, my screen res is 1600x1200, I take it yours is lower which is what might make it seem centre

I have been tweaking the product info display file to try to get an easy to read/enderstand layout. I managed the correct layout on my other site so I copied the order of the different sections into my new site but the layout looks completely diferent. My questions are:

Do you have a suggested layout for product info for this template.
Have you managed to get a great layout, can you advise please.
Thanks
Pete

No, I'm at 1680 x 1050, and also, no matter the width of the browser, it is center. What browser are you using? I'm using firefox.

But looking at your css, I see some issues. Change the below::

#logoWrapper {
width:auto;
}

#logo {
float:center;
padding-left:30px;
text-align:center;
padding-bottom:10px;
}


to this:

#logoWrapper {
margin:0 auto;
}

#logo {
text-align:center;
padding-bottom:10px;
}


And that will center it. Also realize that the right side of your image isn't cropped as tightly as it could be, so with the code above it will seem cocked to the left a bit, but it really should be centered then. By the way, there's no such thing as "float:center", there's only float:left and float:right.

Well, I quite modified the original zen template layout, with my current cherry zen template:
http://www.cherryzen.jadetrue.com/in...&products_id=1

I happen to think its a great layout, but of course opinions differ.


Your changes probably look different because the css is not the same. You'll need to copy over the relevant css changes for the sections you changed.

I struggled with understanding how to do this before buying the book which explained the process.

First thing you do is choose Attributes Controller in your Admin/Catalog section. Then choose Options Names where you set up the names of the options you want. Next you choose Options Values where you set up the values under each name.

For example

Option Name - Size
Option Value - Choose Size then add in your size ranges, 1-2, 3-4 etc.

Now you can either go back to the Attributes Controller page and choose the category you wish to work with or go to the individual products listings and choose the black A on the right hand side of your products name which will bring up the Attributes Controller page where you can set the base price of your products or just add the attributes to your product.

If you want your product to be controlled by price changes with the attributes you will have to mark that when you create your products.

So to recap

To create an option NAME choose Options Names. To create a VALUE choose Options Values on the Attributes Controller page.

Once you figure this out it will be very easy.

Hello,

I am just new to Zen Cart, i love your theme and I have just installed it, it was fine untill I enabled the side boxes. Now this is what appears in the site:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_draw_search_field() in /mounted-storage/home36a/sub006/sc29007-OKJM/2goenterprises.com/shop/includes/templates/cherry_zen/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php on line 19

You can see it live here: www.2goenterprises.com/shop

Your help will be great :)
Thanks,

You didn't upload all the files. Upload includes/functions/extra_functions/search_field_header.php

I'm using this template at my site and I like it. Thanks.

One question. I've got more white space than needed-- above and below my store logo. How can I reduce that?

Store: http://www.crimescene.com/store

Thanks

Tom

I resolved the white space by making this change in the stylesheet

#tagline {
font-size:1.1em;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
padding:8px 8px 4px 8px;
}

The original settings were
#tagline {
font-size:1.1em;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
padding:25px 8px 35px 8px;
}

Will my reduction in the top and bottom margin cause serious issues?

Tom

Hi jettrue, I have a question about validation. When I view the validation it tell me this.


Failed validation, 1 Error

Quote:

Line 30, Column 371: value of attribute "type" cannot be "search"; must be one of "text", "password", "checkbox", "radio", "submit", "reset", "file", "hidden", "image", "button".

What file is this error pointing to. I have looked for it now for 2 days. I looked in the style sheet, the header and the side boxes, but I still can not find it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

It can be ignored, in order to get the rounded search bar in Safari, I had to use type="search" for the search box.

This is done in includes/templates/cherry_zen/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php

Thank you for your reply. So what you are saying is , it;s nothing to worry about.
Well that sounds good to me. Thank you.
One more question and I'm finish. I don't know if this has anything to do with the cherry template or not.

I have absolutely no clue, sorry!

I downloaded this template for my website, it is simply amazing.
Very clean, I like everything about it.. except...

Could you tell me how to change the background from the blue color to a black color? The blue looks great, but black goes more with my theme of site.

Thanks!#@

Hoping for some help with a few problems!

I have the cherry_zen installed, which is really great. Not sure if my first problem specifically relates to the template or not though (???)

On the main page I have increased the image sizes to 200 x 160 for the new and featured products, but am unable to do the same for the specials via the admin panel. These images seem to be controlled by the small image width and height settings, but I can't change this as it changes the small images in the right & left columns as well. Please could you tell be how to change just the specials image size on the main page?

Also I have changed the layout to show product listings with the products side by side, which works fine for the listings in each category, but it also puts the specials page with the side by side layout. My new, featured and all products listings still use default listing each on under each other, and this is how I would like the special to be also. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou!

Does anyone know how to remove the bread crumbs on the home page only?

I found this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ght=breadcrumb
that gives instructions but I don't think that works with this template. any help would be appreciated

---

What version of zen cart are you using? All you have to do is turn it off in the admin, "Configuration", "Layout Settings", "Define Breadcrumb Status", change it to "off for home page only".

If you followed any of the instructions from that thread, undo it, that was for an older version of zen cart.

You're right, they are controlled by the small image, and I don't have a suggestion for changing that. However, if you'd like, I can post instructions for making the sideboxes wider.

Again, unfortunately, I don't have a good answer for this... either you need to make everything in rows, so that the specials is in rows, or have specials in columns. That's the way the mod I installed is designed.

That's done in stylesheet.css, for the body tag...

body {
background:#84A4C1; /* main site background color, blue default */
}

Thank you! I searched and searched the stylesheet but could not find it. I think I am slightly blind in one or more eyes. :blink:

Are you looking at the right stylesheet? This should be in includes/templates/chery_zen/css/stylesheet.css It ahould be a few lines down from the top of the file, not exactly sure which line.

Hi jettrue could you do me a favor and look at my site and tell me why or what you think it could be, about why it's not centered like it should be, and that the shadow around it is not right. I have been trying a while to figure this out. Thank you

Hi,
If you are using IE 5, 6 or 7 can you take a look at http://www.funfancydress.com, clsick on a category. The left column drops below the line of the center of the page...hard to explain, take a look and you will see what I mean, do you know why this is happenning?

Thanks
Pete
NB works fine in Firefox and safari

mediathing I have looked at your site and everything seems to work like it should. I don't see The left column drop below the line of the center of the page when you click on the category. I checked it with IE 7. Your site looks real good. No problems with what I checked out. Your HTML passes validation. Your W3C CSS validation has just one error.

It looks good to me. What browser are you using? If IE6, it shouldn't have shadows in IE6 due to lack of transparent support in IE6, if IE5, I don't support it....

Is this still happening to you? Just checked in IE7, and did not see this. Is it one specific category?

Hi again, I use firefox but I checked it in IE7 also. It looks the same way in both. It doesn't look that noticeable but you can tell it not exactly right. When I look at others then mine you can tell by the shadow on the right hand side around the top and the distance from one side to the other.

Yes, still happening. I am using IE 6...It's not just when you click on a category, it's any page, I don't know how to attach images to this forum so I can't show you a screen shot. But basically if the center section of the page is say 3"high, then the left column drop down so that the top of the column is in line with the bottom of the center content. I can email a screen shot if you want.

Thanks

I see it...the shadow at the top right corner of the main content is inset to the left too much. Also the site is off center (too much to the right) by about the same amount as the shadow is offset, so my guess is the the two problems are connected in some way. Have you change the width of your site?

Make that banner image smaller at the bottom of your site.

Hi,

Both of my sites look okay in IE7 and FF, but they are off in older browsers. They both are too wide even though I have them set to go no wider than 850. What did I do wrong?
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kelly

I am redesigning my site using the cherry zen template (which by the way is awesome) however I am running into a problem that I am not sure how to fix. Currently if you check out my create account page my Zip/Postal code box is being pushed to the right hand side. I did modify the width of the template and also added a bunch of mods but I can't see anything that would specifically relate to the moving of just that box. You can see what I mean by going to my work site.

http://oldsite.lotsofgifts.net/index...create_account

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have just one little flaw after spending a bunch of time redesigning my site. :(

Hi,

I used Firefox and added two line breaks (<br><br>) after this line which fixed the problem, not sure if that is the correct way to do it though:

<label class="inputLabel" for="postcode">Post/Zip Code:</label>

This was fixed in newer versions of this template, but you can change LABEL.inputLabel in stylesheet.css to this:


LABEL.inputLabel {
width:90%;
float:left;
margin:.3em;
}

Because there are two sections that control width, one for IE, one for other browsers:

Code:

---

#nw {
        width:80%; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
        max-width:850px; /* prevents the main content from getting wider than 1300px in sites other than IE */
        min-width:850px; /* this prevents the main content from getting smaller than 1000px in browsers OTHER THAN IE. You can make this as small as 800px, BUT any smaller than that, and the top header menu will break into two lines. Also, if you make this width 800px, you will need to make sure your product image on the product info page is no wider than 190px */
        }
       
/* IE only. Controls Width of Site and Main Content*/
* html #nw {
        width:expression((d=document.compatMode=="CSS1Compat" ? document.documentElement : document.body) && (d.clientWidth > 1300? "1300px" : d.clientWidth > 1048? "80%" : d.clientWidth < 1048? "1000px" : "80%")); /* this prevents the site from getting smaller than 1000px or wider than 1300px in IE */
        }

---

So you would change the IE section to this:

Code:

---

/* IE only. Controls Width of Site and Main Content*/
* html #nw {
        width:expression((d=document.compatMode=="CSS1Compat" ? document.documentElement : document.body) && (d.clientWidth > 1300? "850px" : d.clientWidth > 1048? "80%" : d.clientWidth < 1048? "850px" : "80%")); /* this prevents the site from getting smaller than 1000px or wider than 1300px in IE */
        }

---

Though I'm not sure why you'd not want it to resize for people with wide browser windows?

Well, you said you already uploaded the shadow css, so I thought you already had that covered.

Add this to your stylesheet.css:

/* css for product image drop shadow and border. To disable the drop shadow and border, simply delete or comment out this section */

#productMainImage {
float:left;
background: url("../images/shadowAlpha.png") no-repeat bottom right !important;
background: url("../images/shadow.gif") no-repeat bottom right;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px !important;
margin: 10px 0 0 5px;
}

#productMainImage img {
display: block;
position: relative;
background: #ffffff;
margin: -3px 6px 6px -3px;
border: 1px solid #a9a9a9; /* defines the border for the product image. To remove the border delete or comment out this line, AND padding: 4px; below */
padding: 4px;
}

/* end css for product image drop shadow */

Hello again. Got a weird problem happening. All of the info from my main page stays in place when I click on a category and that page loads in below the main page info. I had a bunch of images on the main page but took them off to see if the problem was them but nope it's something strange happening.

I did install the FAQ manager, could that be the culprit?

Correction. It only happens with the top category, all others are fine.

No, unfortunately that is not an easy change, but I'll be looking into this for a future upgrade.

Hi again jettrue, I have another question for you. If I want to use an image for my back ground how would I do that. It's blue now but I want to use like candy canes, Christmas trees or something like that for Christmas. What file would I have to modify for this.
Thank you

You'd save and upload the image in your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/ folder, then set it as the body tag's background image.

Hi,
Check with you..why does the column div when viewed under firefox just shows as single line in the center? while explorer it works fine.
If we have few products under sub category it looks odd in firefox as there is only a single divder in the center instead of after each product. any solution?
Check with you is it possible to assign a css for all products so that can be viewed by column? currently the column mod doesn't support al products list.

It would be great if can have column view for all products so that people can showcase products neatly .

As i feel you are expert in css can do something on this.

Mac Foxfire - the latest version

Items We Carry = Categories
Top category is Appliques - welcome message shows up
Sub-category - Applique Designs - this does not show the welcome message
2nd sub-category - Ellen McCarn Appliques - this shows the welcome message

I just checked again all of the categories and found that if there are sub-categories I get the Main Page's Welcome message. If there are no sub-categories no welcome message.

Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and change this:

Code:

---

echo $one_time . ((zen_has_product_attributes_values((int)$_GET['products_id']) and $flag_show_product_info_starting_at == 1) ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : '') . zen_get_products_display_price((int)$_GET['products_id']);

---

to this:

Code:

echo $one_time . ((zen_has_product_attributes_values((int)$_GET['products_id']) and $flag_show_product_info_starting_at == 1) ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : 'Our Price: ') . zen_get_products_display_price((int)$_GET['products_id']);

Did you install column divider lite? If you search for me in that thread, you'll see the instructions for fixing this issue.

No, but apparently the FAQ Manager add-on was the culprit as I deleted all the files related to it and the problem disappeared. I will put it back when the bugs are out. Meanwhile back to uploading products.

Thank you.

How would you go about doing this. When I insert the image for the back ground, it just shows a white back ground. This is what I have change it from.

From this

Quote:

---

/* other background color or image changes */
body {
background:#84A4C1; /* main site background color, blue default */
}

---

To this

Quote:

---

/* other background color or image changes */
body {
background:christmas.jpg; /* main site background color, christmas default */
}

---

Only shows a white back ground. I have changed it back for the time being.

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

or

background:url("../images/christmas.jpg") repeat;

if it needs to repeat itself.

Put the image into the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images folder.

I'm sure, I'd either start a new thread about this, or find a shopping cart sidebox thread to add it to. I don't have quick instructions for you on how to do that. Or here, I did a search, here's a thread that gives some specific instructions, starting at post #5.

Hi,
Got it..once again thanks for the prompt reply..It works out fine with firefox now.

:clap:

Thank you jettrue for your help. That worked out perfect. I have another question for you. How do you change the back ground color for all the side boxes. I want them to be a different color than gray. Thank you

How do I get a banner next to the logo in the header?

The readme file says:

You can also turn on a banner that will show up below the tagline if you have a tagline, or in place of the tagline. The Banner Position for that would be the Header Position 2.

I looked in Banner manager but cannot find a Header Position 2. What am I missing?

Paul

Hi bekinky, you need to go to your admin then go to Configuration - Layout Settings - Banner Display Groups - Header Position 2 .

Quote:

---

Banner Display Groups - Header Position 2
The Banner Display Groups can be from 1 Banner Group or Multiple Banner Groups

For Multiple Banner Groups enter the Banner Group Name separated by a colon :

Example: Wide-Banners:SideBox-Banners

What Banner Group(s) do you want to use in the Header Position 2?
Leave blank for none

---

This is where you need to go.

Thanks countrycharm - it worked a treat. I just need to design some banners now :)

Oh dear - my layout works great in Firefox but looks terrible in IE. What can be wrong? I added code and styles so the cart appeared in the header on the right.

I added this to the stylesheet:

.cartheader{
color:#FFFFFF;
float: right;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-top: 5px;
font-size: 11px;
}

And I added this to the common/tpl_header.php:

<!-- bof cart header display -->
<div id="navCartWrapper" class="cartheader">
Your Basket:&nbsp;<?php echo ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()); ?>&nbsp;item(s)&nbsp;&nbsp;Total:£<?php echo ($_SESSION['cart']->show_total()); ?>
</div>
<!-- eof cart header display -->

I will PM you with a URL to the test site if you want to see it in action

Absolutely.:smile:

Thanks for the quick response Jade. I managed to fix the problem after a lengthy phone call to a friend who understands Zencart.

Basically there were two things wrong:

1) I originally placed the extra cart wrapper on its own at the top of the template. Moving it inside the logowrapper solved the problem of the div putting a gap at the top of the page.

2) Adding width and height attributes to logowrapper fixed the problem of the tagline and the cartwrapper placement.

I will PM you with a URL so you can see the site based on your original template (thanks for that too - wonderful work)

Paul

Hi jettrue did you see my earlier post about the background in all side boxes. I want to change the color to something else instead of grey. How would I do that.
Thank you

The sidebox is controlled by the image sidebox.gif, in the cherry_zen/images folder. Change the color in the image, then re-upload.

Hello
I would like my Checkout link to redirect to the Shopping cart link if it is clicked when the cart is empty. Similar to earlier request...

It seems as if having a link to checkout with nothing in the cart breaks the template. Perhaps a function could be written to only show the checkout link in the header if there are items in the cart?

If someone could point me in the direction of where the code should go then I would happily play with it (until I break it!).

Thanks

Is that page breaking when you click "checkout"? If so, you can just upload includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_time_out_default.php from the newest version.


To make the checkout the same as shopping cart, simply open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_header.php and change this:

Code:

---

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>

---

to this:

Code:

---

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>

I think that'll do it!

Hi,

I just installed the HideCategories mod on my ZC, which uses the Cherry Zen template. It works to hide the item (I made a Hidden Category, with 1 product in it) from searches and the "new items" listing, but in my Sidebox, the Hidden category is showing with 1 product in it. I tried all variations on the hidecategories setup to no avail, nothing I do seems to take this hidden category out of the sidebox even when I choose the totally hidden option.

If anyone can tell me what I must change to fix this, I'd be very very grateful!!!

Thanks,
Patrick

i am having some issues with this template and the define page 3 &4 . I have both of them turned on in the admin and have changed the names in the english.php. but they are not showing up on the site. Does anyone know what i can do,

Did you ask in the hideCategories thread? I can't see what in the template could be causing the sidebox issue.

I would start a new thread about this, but have you also turned on the "information" sidebox in "Tools", "Layout Boxes Controller"?

Quote:

The sidebox is controlled by the image sidebox.gif, in the cherry_zen/images folder. Change the color in the image, then re-upload.

Thank you jettrue, that worked out perfect.

Thanks Jade,

Strangely, I was able to get it to work the proper way (item shows with direct link, but not in the sideboxes, searches, or in new items). But the workaround was strange. I had to first make the category hidden using HideCategories. Then turn the category off completely (giving a red icon). Then go into the category and manually turn on the 2 products in there (green icon). After that, and reloading the page, the category stopped showing up in the CherryZen sidebox and the items don't come up in searches or new products, but they still work for a direct link.

BTW, thanks again for your great contribution. Your template has greatly helped my site look very nice. Here it is:

Hi!

I just installed Cherry Zen and love it and have tried to search to see if anyone has this problem but....

I think I've installed IH correctly as well as Cherry Zen

So in effect rather than `hovering' it displays the image in the top left hand corner of the page!

The demo page is at http://thrivingstores.com/store_zen/...=index&cPath=1

Any ideas? Probably something stupid I've done!

It should load fine, but whenever your mouse goes near a thumbnail.....

Thanks

No, it's not breaking. I just I think if checkout is selected when the cart is empty, then it is preferable to show an empty trolley rather than suggesting a timeout has occured and requesting the customer signin (when they may not have an account yet).

I gave that a try but it then it redirects to Shopping Cart in all instances, not just when the Cart is empty.

I'll keep looking and will post if I find anything.

The the code below. I may have messed up some syntax, so let me know if it doesn't work.

Code:

---

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>

<?php } else if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() == 0) { ?>

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>


<?php }?>

---

Thanks for the help, this is just what I wanted. I had to make a slight change to the code (a couple of <span>'s added by guesswork) so could you please check my changes for mistakes.

Looks good!

I am having some peculiar issues with my sidebox banners. I have two installed and each one is programmed differently and yet they both show the same details at the same time then dynamically they seem to change to the other detail.

sometimes they display different detail as I want them to be but everything seems to change dynamically.

How do I control the sidebox banners? Is there something in Cherry Zen that needs an adjustment or is this a ZC issue?

I hope my question is clear.

Peppyone

I apologize. This is not a Cherry Zen Issue. found my answers in the banners tutorial.

Carry on.
