Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[heavenlynights]

Hi again

I am rehashing the template a little. I have decided to make it a fixed width of 950px rather than a fluid width as I want to replace the logo with a 950px wide header. I figured I can't do this if the website is fluid width, without it looking silly.

I would also like to move the product attributes to below the product description

I have figured out how to change the width of the site, with the help of the read_me file but If anyone can help me in regard to moving the attributes, that would be great. I just need to know what parts of the css i need to change and what to change it to.

I am assuming that I need to change something in the below

#productAttributes {
width:100%;
float:left;
border:1px solid #bfbfbf;
padding-left:5px;
margin:5px 0 0 10px;

TIA

I would look in the tpl_product_info_display.php file it is very well laid out with comments around every section , you can literally just pick up a section and move it under another one.

I moved it around quite alot on my site and it was very easy.
I believe Jettrue has laid it out so there is a left column a right column then a full width section under that. ( that is how I read the code anyway ) so you can place each section where you require it.

You can then use that bit of CSS to change the size and padding if you need to.

  <!--bof Attributes Module -->
  <?php
  if ($pr_attr->fields['total'] > 0) {
?>
  <?php
/**
 * display the product atributes
 */
  require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_attributes.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_attributes.php'); ?>
  <?php
  }
?>
  <!--eof Attributes Module -->

Thats the section you can move around.

Have fun

Open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and find the attributes section (everything is nicely chunked up in that file) and move it to below the description chunk.

Thanks for that Jade. crazycucumber told me where to look.

I moved it, looked terrible so moved it back. What I really need to do is to figure out (if at all possible) how to add notations/text without using the attributes. These notations are applicable to all products that I have. I would prefer this common text to be built into the template file so that when I add a product, that information will automatically show-up on the product info page without me having to add it some other way

At present these common notations are listed as read-only attributes which make my products info pages very messy. If I cannot add these notations into the core template, then I will have to totally rehash the tpl_product_info_display.php.

I am not really php code savey so I don't know if I can add html in the tpl_product_info_display.php (or if this is even the appropriate file I should be looking at) without breaking something.

Your thoughts/help would be appreciated and thank you jade.

That looks like they just replaced the standard 1px wide header background image with their own image and changed the settings in the stylesheet.css.

The side box images are similar.

I don't have a bunch of time today, but look at navMainWrapper and leftBoxHeading

Look at the rest of the page, allot of it is commented and self explanatory

If its going to be "EXACTLY" the same text for every product, then sure, you can add it to tpl_product_info_display.php

something like this:
<!-- bof product info text for all products -->
<?php echo '<div id="productInfoText">Text goes here</div>' ?>
<!-- eof product info text for all products-->
would work.
