Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[laydiefa]

OK, good news and bad news,

Finally i can load the new template..
but the thing is, inside my admin page..
on top of the screen it's giving me this error in red:

"Warning Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels."

I've opened Tools -> Server/Version Info.. and was given this message:

PROJECT_VERSION_NAME PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR.PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR
Patch: PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH1:ROJECT_VERSION_PATCH1_SOURCE
Patch: PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH2:ROJECT_VERSION_PATCH2_SOURCE
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
v1.3.8 [2008-05-06 01:54:02] (Fresh Installation)
v1.3.8 [2008-05-06 01:54:02] (Fresh Installation)


What do i do at this point actually? how do i patch the database?
FIY, i installed my Zen Cart using fantastico.

sorry for asking stupid questions.. but i'm very new in this and learning.

laydiefa,
You're going to want to submit this question to the General Questions area since it really doesn't pertain to the Cherry Zen template.

Just copy and paste your entire question into a new thread.

Hi!

I am trying to get a full width logo banner inserted - to make it match an existing website.

You can see, I hope what I am trying to do here - http://www.lemongrassmedia.com/zen01.jpg

So I uploaded the logo which goes most of the way across and then put a `background image' as a repeating background to fake the logo going across the full width.

The `faked' part though seems to be `top' aligned against the very top of the header bar.

Now, I have been playing with

#headerWrapper {
background:#ffffff; /* background color behind logo and sales text, white default */
}

As it says it controls the background color (and I guess image) behind the logo.

But I am wondering if I should be playing with `logoWrapper' instead?

It seems that the headerWrapper is behind the header and because it's taller is actually coming into the logo area when I was assuming it was the other way around.

Does that make any sense at all??

Plus - is there a simple way to get rid of the `Home - Login - My Account' Header and maybe move it to a sidebox - or do I have to play with tpl files?

Thanks
Ernie

Hi Again:

I played a bit more and edited logoWrapper and it's almost there -

my logoWrapper is:

#logoWrapper {
width: auto;
background-position: bottom;
background: url("../images/bg-1.gif") repeat-x;
vertical-align: bottom;
}

I though the vertical-align would align it to the bottom but in the image:

It's still not right.

What must I change to make the logo blend seamlessly with the background - they are both the same height - 152px.

Hi I made a change to the side column widths and changed all the places specified in your readme instructions and now everything in the sideboxes does not line up properly. Everything seems to be pushed to the left too far. For example the Category heading now extends to the left beyond the grey sidebox. I am on 1.3.8 and my site is www.toyspastandpresent.com. Any idea what I did wrong?

thanks

Ok I got most of this fixed. I had to change one more value in the css file - the padding-left to 185.
.outer {
padding-left: 185px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */

It looks good now on the home page or if I look at a product. When I go to the login screen or My Account the grey sidebox.gif is back to it's old size of 150px. I changed the one sidebox.gif to 170 as instructed in the readme file. Is there a 2nd one I have to resize?

Thanks

Never mind. It looks like it was just cached. Cleared my cache and it is OK.

It looks like you did not change the left column width to 185px in the admin, as per the readme. Are you also wanting to change the right column width?

Nevermind, I see you got it fixed.

I installed your template and have successfully completed it. I am confused when I checked your sample on your site, how did you setup your page products, specials, featured, to show only 1 or 2 rows of product verses my store showing 5 rows of products?

Example: http://www.720moto.com/Store/

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rudy
