Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[rufusclc]

my wife says thanx for helping me as it makes me a little less crazy; now just need to find a solution to the last part of my question and she says I will be normal again!!!!

I followed the instructions for making my site as narrow as 800px and it doesn't seem to have kicked in? (I also only want to use left sideboxes globally and followed the instructions for that as well.) I have two issues: the site is still wide... and I have an "other products" link that is getting pushed out to the side on this page.

Can you help at all? Thanks.

Hi,

Is there an easy way to change it so that if the visitor is not logged in, My Account only shows the log in box, not the create account fields as well? (I'm using the split login page).

I'd like this effect:

When the visitor checks out, he sees the normal functionality: the page shows both a login box (for returning customers) and create account fields (for new customers).

But if the visitor clicks on My Account:
If he is logged in, he sees his account information
If he is not logged in, he sees only a login box only (no create account fields).

Is this easy to do?

Thanks, Susie

Sorry for my delayed reply.

Since the MY ACCOUNT page, directs to the LOGIN page if the visitor is not logged in.... so changing the login page will change it when a customer is checking out also. Anyway, its not an easy fix, but you can ask in the general forum.

I *think* I fixed this by putting in

.outer {
padding-right: 170px /* Our right column width */
} 

I must have removed it in the first place accidentally?

I want a background image behind the left sidebar.

When I put an image in the code below -- it goes all the way across the main content section.

#contentMainWrapperb {
background:#ffffe6; /* This is the left column background "faked" with an image. */
}

Lovely,

This is what I am using:

#contentMainWrapperb {
background: url("../images/sidebox.png") 0 0 repeat-y; #f2f2f2
}

sidebox.png is the same width as as my left column.

Hello. I followed your instructions to the letter in the READ ME OR ELSE file on how to adapt Chery Zen to a two column format but seem to have lost the ability to change the color of my content page as it now is the same color as the background. I removed the right column and when I put it back the color I had chosen for the center column returned but then disappeared when the column was taken out.

What in the world did I do wrong?

Could I see the link?

Are these the instructions you followed:

3. To have ONLY left sideboxes, first turn off the left sideboxes in the admin, at "configuration", "Layout Settings", "Column Left Status - Global". Then open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css and remove the padding-right from the .outer section:

.outer {
padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
padding-right: 150px; /* Our right column width */
}

and remove the background image from #contentMainWrapper.

My store - www.newoldsounds.com

It works perfectly in Firefox on two of my PCs (both 1024x768 resolution) . In IE6 the navigation bar is about 20px taller...In IE7, the background behind the box titles, behind the text Categories and Information, the background doesn't go all the way across the box, and the credit card image in the upper right is cut off.

Mac - On Firefox and Safari on my mac (1024x768 resolution) the categories box displays below the images. This is a major issue! I've tried narrowing everything a bit to make it all fit, but no luck.

Any comments on the overall appearance/layout are welcome too.

I really appreciate the kind help this community provides, and I thank everyone in advance for their help.
