Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[Centec2b]

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.

Hello Crunch

Understood. I think the Lightbox concept is brilliant, but share the concern and until a solution occurs would be reluctant to put on my live site.

I will try to effect something, but I am afraid it will be by experiment...

Cheers!

Hello,

Was anyone able to correctly get the DGreviews mod working?

To show the product reviews on the actual product page without having to click the "read reviews" button?

It seems no matter where I edit the tpl_product_info_display in cherry_zen it breaks the product page.

I have disabled my left sideboxes for all the checkout pages by adding this to includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_main_page.php

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'login,checkout_shipping,checkout_payme nt,checkout_confirmation,checkout_success')) ) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

Works all well - BUT:

I still have the grey background showing on the left whilst the background of the main body is white.

Not being very savvy with stylesheets how can I invoke that the background of the LHS on these page also appears white?

Just does not look right as it is.

Just hit the login button and you can see what I mean.

Thanks in advance

All good - changed the sidebox background image to white which renders the sideboxes white on a global basis.

Thanks anyway
