Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[SirenK]

In addition to the below problem for which I'm awaiting a response, can someone tell me how to change the image backgrounds used in the red template? I have gone into the cherry_zen "red" images folder and replaced those with the images I'd like to use (tab tops for the menu and a 150px w rounded image for the sidebox image) but the changes are not taking effect. In fact, i went so far as to delete all the images from that folder just to remove the current images, and they still remain? While everything I'm reading says that these images are located in the red images folder, they're obviously being served from elsewhere. Please advise. Thank you! Oh and any help with the pre-existing question would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you

Hello! Thanks for the template! I am having a small (or I hope it's small) problem however. I got it working perfectly for IE7 and Firefox, however on IE6 the right column is all jacked up. For reference please look at this site using IE6 (you might need to have your resolution set at 800X600) - http://www.conspicuouschick.com/zencart/index.php

What seems to be happening, is the reviews column is over lapping the top and bottom of the page - covering up the navigation menu at the top - it's also missing the grey background.

Please advise. Thank you!

I see new images, not the old ones.

For your other problem, try adding this to your stylesheet:

* html #navColumnTwo {
    margin-right: -170px !important;
    }

Sorry I'm so slow to respond... computer problems, new dog, gotta go to work. I'll try to catch up soon!

Okay I added the code exactly as you show it here to my stylesheet and it made no changes at all.

As for the images, I got the rounded images to work on the sidebox headings, however, I created white tabs for the main navigation menu at the top of the page and they're not showing up at all. I still get the old images - Oh, and on firefox the images are too high, they extend on the bottom over the red background.

Eeek... Please help.

Thank you.

Can someone tell me how to edit a previous post? I feel bad posting as I figure things out and then putting up a new post...

Anyway, I got the new images to display, however when you roll over them they shift up. This is acceptable for IE7 and Firefox I suppose (though I'd prefer they didn't) but in IE6 it looks like crap. IE6 is also adding more red below which makes the tabs appear to be floating in the middle of red, which looks bad.

And I still can't seem to figure out the right column problem. If you look at this in IE7 and IE6, you can see how IE6 just wrecks everything (i wont even get into the fact that ie6 doesn't seem to like the fold out menu... *sigh* )

Thanks so much for all the help and patience!!!

Images for sidebar headers ...

... I've downloaded "image titles" mod. It says to change certain code in the "tpl_box_default_left.php in the commons folder.

My Cherry Zen doesn't have such a tpl.

How does one delete "HEADER_SALES_TEXT" from beneath the header?

Tried deleting several snippets -- only to lose the entire page. :)

[SirenK]

Try this: Go to includes/languages/english/cherry_zen/header.php, and remove this text: Your logo could be wider here, Sales Header Text Could Be here, Or a Banner Image, or any combination of the three.

ok I have removed the text in the banner window on the top of the page by reading the readme first or else. The trouble is now it only displayes where the image is not the image. I have moved the image to different directories and still nothing.

Should define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', be replaced with something else since it is no longer text but an image.

I have read other similar posts in here and seem to be having same trouble.

the site is here

Thanks in advance

Okay forgive the multiple posts (I still can't figure out how to edit existing posts).

I figured out the reason behind my shifting right column. It appears that my logo is causing this to happen. I tried setting the tagline to 0% but that doesn't seem to help. Is there a size limit on the logo? And why does it only break IE6. Any ideas on how to fix this (and the problem below) is much appreciated!!!!

P.S - What kind of dog dig you get Jade? I'm a huge animal lover!

Since you're using a fixed width site, change this section of your css:

#nw {
	width:990px; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
	max-width:990px; /* 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 > 990? "990px" : d.clientWidth > 1048? "80%" : d.clientWidth < 1048? "800px" : "80%")); /* this prevents the site from getting smaller than 1000px or wider than 1300px in IE */
	}

to this:

#nw {
	width:990px; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
	}

I don't think the logo is the issue.

We adopted a stray, she is a Schnauzer/Poodle mix, she looks more schnauzer than poodle. Not curly at all. And she's much bigger than usual "Schnoodles" at about 46 lbs. I'll have to post a pic soon, or change my avatar. She's a great dog, estimated to be about 4 years old, spayed, housebroken, and crate trained. She's super sweet, and loves people. The only issues we have is that she and our 12 year old cat are still getting used to each other, and she's run away once (she's got a nose like a hound - but thankfully we have a collar with our phone number on it, and she's microchipped, and someone called us within 10 minutes). Now that makes 7 pets in our house... 3 fish, 2 aquatic turtles, 1 dog, 1 cat. If it were all up to me, I'd add a another dog, another cat, a bird, some sort of rodent, and even a pet snake. I love all animals, but each one takes some time to convince my hubby. And anyway, then I'd really have no time to myself.
