Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[jettrue]

hello, Thanks for a great template. I just installed this template today and everything is working great, except for the grey top header bar. it doesn't show. how can I fix it?

Thank you?

That's the EZ-Pages Header, you have to turn it on in your admin, under "configuration", "Ez-Pages Settings".

Jettrue,
Why, in the right column, do the headers and some text become off center? They offset to the left toward the page center while the gray background stays in place where it should. I have replaced the stylesheet.css with your original only changing the float to center my logo in the header per your instructions:

#logo {
/* float:left; commented out to center logo */
padding-left:15px;
text-align:center;
}

Also, when a product is clicked on, the text in each right and left column in the specific product page becomes quite large when the product page (for that particular product) loads. Yet when I return to the home page the text returns to normal size.

Is there a possible relationship between the text size chosen for a product description and the default text size for the right and left columns causing this? (This may not be an issue of Cherry AZen but something else)

Here's the link to my store:

Thank you for any input. You have created a great template.

Try adding this to your stylesheet:

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

As for the text getting larger, I bet you don't have <font> tags in your description closed properly. Remember that you need a </font> at the end of EACH font size, or font color.

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it and will try what you suggest. I could have very well missed closing a font size with the </font> tag. Bet I did.

Not like that could happen with hundreds of products to enter with descriptions...

Thanks again!

Jettrue,
Your fix worked perfectly for aligning the right column headers and text. What it also did was resolve the large text in the right and left columns after opening a product page. I checked all my product descript <font> tags and found none left improperly open (or omitted), however, after adding your fix for the offset right column headers and text it also (some how??) fixed the large column text problem. Was trying to determine how it might have done that but couldn't come to any conclusion so I'm not questioning it...

Things are as they should be...

Thanks!

I'm really not sure of what you are asking. There are many helpful instructions are in the readme.txt. To turn on the sideboxes, you go to "Tools", "Layout Boxes Controller" in the admin.

Hello,

I have installed this template on my demo site where I am trying to get it set the way I like for my main site. I have changed the column width for left and right to 225px and I have adjusted the necessary images for the template so it looks good. I would like to change a few other things but I can’t seem to figure them out.

1. I would like the site to expand automatically to almost 100%. Say about 97% so that the background image still shows on the left and right side. About the same amount shows on each side as shows at the top (about ½”).
2. When viewing the demo site with a screen set at 800 x 600 the right side product column bleeds into the right sidebox column. I can’t seem to find the place to add padding or whatever is needed to keep it out of that right sidebox column. When viewing with a larger screen size I was able to set the .float-wrap width from 97% to 90%. I am not sure that was the right thing to do but it seemed to work. If there is a correct way to set this I would love to find out.
3. Lastly, the background image extends just a fraction above the left and right column sidebox header. You can see it in the picture just below the Cherry Zen logo.

I have drawn arrows to all three items in the picture below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The demo site I am working on is: http://www.swiker.com/demo

Thank you
