Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi,
I have the template on my site and am having a terrible time getting it the way I want it

My logo is not right on there I want it to be the length of the white part (body) I also would like to change the color from white have not tried to do that yet.

I know I need to change something to make the logo correct, but I don't know what to do. I changed the width and everytime I do that and upload the stylesheet, all the categories in red DISAPPEAR on me.

I have dealt with this for about an hour now and just can't figure it out.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks
Sandra

Oh my site is http://www.the-unique-boutique.com

Also how do I ad links to the top of my site like http://www.thegemtree.com/ has? If it isn't too much of a problem to do.

I like that.

Thanks again

Your logo is narrower than the site... that's why its not the length of the site. What I would do if I were you is keep your logo the size it is. Then, make a background image that is the same as the textured background of your logo. Make that the background image of #logoWrapper. That way, as your site stretches, it give the illusion that your logo is filling the entire space. You'll first need to remove this from #logo in your stylesheet:

float:left;
padding-left:15px;

That will make your logo centered. Then add the new background image to logo wrapper, like this:

#logoWrapper {background: url("../images/name-of-image.gif") repeat;}
You'd upload the image to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/ folder.

Also how do I ad links to the top of my site like http://www.thegemtree.com/ has? If it isn't too much of a problem to do.

That's what I was referring to when I mentioned you can add ezpages, and turn them on in the header. Those are ezpage links. Go to "Tools" "Ezpages" in your admin, add an ezpage, and turn it on in the header. It will show up there.

Thank you :) I am liking my site now!

I did more research and changed the whole thing. lol But you did help me alot in telling me how to get it all to work.

Can you tell me how to get rid of the gray on the categories?
I want to change them to another shade I don't like the gray.

Thanks for all the help

Sure, you can open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/sidebox.gif and change it to a new color, and re-upload. :-)

Love the bubbles! Blue based sites always appeal to me. Though, I would just make text of the logo white, amongst a blue background... it looks rough as a transparent gif. And i might make it a tad smaller... but that's just an opinion.

Thank you so much! :)
I have it all done now. Just need to finish adding product to the site

I did do just white, but I was doing it on a transparent image and it wasn't working So I had to do it on a blue surface. I think it came out great :)

Thanks again for all the help

Hi,
First off, awesome template!
I like the search box in the header position (left side). It was fine until I added some text to the main page. Now the search box appears in the header position and also appears in the category box (in a random position, over the category box text). Any settings I need to change?
Also, how do you get your pictures to pop up the larger pic image when you do a mouse over?
The site I'm using this template on is wheelspacersonline.com
Sorry if I missed any of these answers in an earlier post, I did a search but could not find anything on them.
Thanks and great work!

Can I see your site please? There is a search sidebox that you can turn on or off in Layout Boxes Controller, but I don't know if that is what you are talking about. Since you said the error occurred after you added text to the home page, make sure that you closed all <div>'s and <p>'s and such. Perhaps you left something open and that messed things up.

The larger image hover is from the ImageHandler mod (see the readme.txt).

Thank you,
Ok I have it up and running now.

Ummm... I take that back, I just blew it up. I'm going to reinstall the template.
