Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[dmk909]

Hello Jade.
Thanks so much for this template. I have been teaching myself how to work these files & practicing on a test server before I upload. I am almost ready but a couple things are still bugging me & I can't figure them out.

I am using column layout for product listings. I would like as many products as possible on a listing page. I plan to have hundreds of products & don't want shoppers wasting time having to navigate page after page. I understand having to adjust the image size for the product listing page, but I don't know how to adjust the fonts. They are left justified and I would like them smaller & centered. I also would like the spaces removed between the product name, the price & the cart. Pretty much I need to consolidate & shrink the entire box.

I also noticed, when I increase the column count, the row count decreases. So if I increase to 6 columns, I have only 1 row. Your dotted lines sadly disappear with this many columns also.

My ideal listing pages would have 6 columns with at least 4 rows of products.
I am hoping you can tell me what to modify even though I'm not yet online.
Thanks,
Diana

I think I found part of what I was looking for.
I was worried that I had messed things up by already having the grid layout module, then installing Cherry Zen over it- but I assume the Cherry Zen template file overides the default template files? I found this thread regarding the column grid layout I was asking about- it offers an update (Pro) that corrects the issue I was having: http://zen-cart.com/forum/showthread...288#post495288. So that fixed the font centering issue & gridlines.

I have learned quite a bit by your detailed instructions with your template files as well as this thread - thank you.

This will take more than one step, but I will try to explain it the way I did it.

Locate the fileincludes/templates/Cherry_zen/common
open tpl_header.php

Locate the following code"

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo New_Arrivals; ?></span></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></span></a></li>
<?php } } ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>
</ul>

if you want to add a link you can copy one of the line starting with<li> and then paste it wherever you want to add the "about us" link.

Make sure you edit the link to correspond to the about us files, for example change these 2 links

<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL')

?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS;

This might get confusing, you better off adding a link in the ez-pages header section.

I need the footer to have a white background like the rest of the site content. How can I do that?

I have been trying to move it all the way to the right but It doesn't seem to move, The closest to the right I got it was to be right after the navigation bar.

You can turn it off from the admin panel and just use the one in the side box instead!

Its on the left by standard. So just go into admin and box layout and set it on!

It is on the left in the navigation bar. Did you turn it on under "tools", "layout boxes controller".
