Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[Crunch]

I have installed several templates and never had this issue before. After installing Cherry Zen it looked GREAT but all the sideboxes were hidden. So I reset the layout boxes. After I did that it only shows the header. I deleted it and uninstalled several times same thing.

I think the issue is with the name of your Cherry Zen folder as it has spaces between characters.

Your current path to stylesheets:

includes/templates/Cherry Zen 1.7/css/stylesheet.css

I would start over again and in the cherry zen 1.7 folder that is created when you unzip the package on your computer, there should be another folder inside named, cherry_zen. That is the one you want to upload to the server.

So I uploaded the cherry_zen folder and the same thing happened. It showed the site but no sideboxes. Then I reset the sideboxes & the site disappearded (header still there).

It's sad but this is the only template I really want to use but yet it is giving me issue. Can anyone think of any other solutions?

How do I align the left sidebox text/content?

- After installing a footer mod it became centered & I don't see a fix in the footer mod files. I'm sure I can change this in my stylesheet but not sure how to code it.

Also how do I remove Zencart from the title bar in windows?

I found post 2075 in this thread that appears to be a fix for this issue (described as an issue with shadows so I didn't catch that initially),...................So, for anyone using Zen Lightbox v1.5 and Cherry Zen template v1.7 and you notice the issue on your product page with a vertically extended image border/background/shadow, the following copy and replace below will fix that.

Crunch, All, good evening

I have exactly the same problem as you have described ie elongation of the product image caption and the drop shadow using Cherry Zen and Zen Lightbox. Part of the problem has been trying to find information in the forum as the problem is not easily described

I have IH2 installed and at first thought it might be something conflict in there. But by process of elimination the problem only occurs with the introduction of Lightbox. Turning Lightbox off does not assist in any way

For information I am running latest version of Zen in a test environment under Xammp - other contributions do not touch core files

Crunch, All

I have repeated the exercise with fual_slimbox and I get exactly the same problem using the same parameters. See item http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...824#post838824

Given the potential for multi responses please would a moderator indicate where responses should be posted. Given the difficulty of describing the issue, should a brief report be mentioned in the Zen Lightbox thread?

Cheers

Centec2b,

It's a Cherry Zen template issue (I also recall the issue happens in the other other templates by Jade). The problem doesn't happen with other templates I tested.

The problem also happens with the other Lightboxes (I tested with Fual and also some jquery lightbox) and both exhibited the same behavior. It's something with Cherry Zen.

I actually gave up as there were no responses to my post and I was tiring of installing these lightbox mods on test copies of my site and hacking around with code. I could only get so far and my patience ran out. After thee weeks I figured the cherry zen community either could care less, found a workaround they are not wanting to share, just live with the quirk or use the old v1.4 version of Lightbox with fix (which I am pretty sure causes the duplicating image issue).

There is a message from a year ago in the Zen Lightbox forum that he had another fix in place to make Cherry Zen fully functional and it would be released in Zen Lightbox v1.6. The problem is that the original mod developer is not working on lightbox anymore hence no version 1.6.

As I originally posted, there is a fix for v1.5 and cherry zen shadow box issue, but it causes a secondary issue with duplicating images.

I chose to remove Zen Lightbox as the shadow box fix caused a duplicating image side effect and it irritated me . I actually would like to stop using Cherry Zen and customize another template, but I have too many things customized and contribution code hacked in right now and don't want the hassle of starting over with a new template.
