Clyde,

Another great contribution from you. Very nice!

For some reason this template is not showing any sideboxes. I was able to edit the CSS to get the top navigation links to show up, but the side navigation boxes have not ever displayed (even before I edited the CSS). Anyway, if you could give me a few pointers as to how to fix this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Every time a new template is installed, the layout boxes controller in admin/tools must be reset.

From the readme file

INSTALLATION:

Unzip the Package and upload the entire includes folder to your server.

In your admin panel, go to admin -> tools -> template selection, click the edit button, choose the template from the dropdown menu and click update.

Now go to admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller, Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click the reset button.

Open your site in your browser and view the new template in action.

Good morning folks;
This is my first post in the Zen Forums, I was able to trip, stumble, and fall through the entire install and setup process, but now I am stumped.
I am having an issue with the header. I put in my logo.gif, it is much larger than what the template provided. When viewing the page in IE6 there are no display problems. But in IE7 the logo image is overflowing the header background and overlapping the lower 3 columns of the template. I modified the background gif in the header to match the added height of the new logo. Still no luck. When the page is viewed in IE7 it is almost like the background image of the header returns to a default size. I am very new at this, I am not a css guy, SQL is my thing. I think the template is fantastic and think the color choice was a primo decision. I am using ZC 1.3.8 .

Thank you for any help, I appreciate it and hope to add to the ZEN community once I get into the swing of things.

Sorry folks;

I figured it out. When I uploaded the whole cart onto my server, it did not overwrite the original header background, IE6 autoformatted it, but IE7 was being very picky and followed the commands to the "t". I changed the css px height to what I needed, re edited the bg image so it was not stretched, and retested it, all hunky dory. Nothing like figuring out css on your own. Now some HTML issues with the main page and I am ready to go. Thanks for looking at the e-mail though.
