Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[jettrue]

just wandering....

Is there anyway i could have the product description appear next to the product image? at the moment it displays the description below.

Take a look...

As you can see it looks a bit strange having large section of white space with no content.

Thanks

Yep, you can have it wherever you'd like it. Open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and move the description chunk (everything on this page is divided into neat little chunks) to right after this:

<!--eof Attributes Module -->

I have free shipping for all orders but want to be able to provide the option of insurance, does your other module do this.

Thanks

My insurance module allows people to click a check box if they want insurance. It's not perfect, but it works.

Can a surcharge be added if the box is ticked? I was initially going to use the flat rate (renamed to insurance) along side the free shipping module but I have been told that those 2 won't work together.

Come over to the support thread, and there is a description of what it does. Please ask further questions there:

The mod adds insurance with USPS rates, you can test it out here, and NO, I can't move it to any other page than the Step 2: Payment Information page.

ETA: If you decide to install it, notice that in my last post there, I've uploaded a new file with updated USPS rates and some fixes.

Wow! What a great template! Thanks for all that you have and continue to do on this. Everything has gone very well during installation...I just have one question regarding the shadow around the entire site. I want to make the shadow a bit "deeper"...or maybe the term is "wider" especially on the right and left sides. Can you give me a hint where to go?

By the way: the site is up and operational...if you want to take a peek at the changes I've made (mostly colors and backgrounds):

Any help you are able to give would be greatly appreciated.

PS - don't know if anyone's tried your template with the multi-site mod yet but it works great!

Hi Jade and All:

I am using Cherry Zen and think it looks elegant and classy... but want o ask a design question ...

I wish to create the effect that the visitor is not being `dumped' into a shopping cart per se and also incorporate information pages before to edge them to buy. The information pages I am doing via EZPages.

To get the effect of a full website I was going to land the visitor on a `Welcome EZPage' with no sidebox columns.

So they would navigate via the Header Bar and Footer Bar if they wish to other Reference Pages. One of the Header Bar links would be Shop Now or something which would take them to the shopping carts `real' homepage - and bring back the sideboxes etc.

Does that make sense and would that be the most efficient way to go, I figured this way the look and feel wouldn't change as they go from the `regular' information website (EZPages) to the Shopping Cart.

It will be easy to remove sideboxes on the home page, since the home page has its own selector. The code below will remove sideboxes from the home:

#indexHomeBody #navColumnOne, #indexHomeBody #navColumnTwo {display:none;}
#indexHomeBody .float-wrap {margin:none!important;width:100%;}
#indexHomeBody .outer {padding:0;width:98%;margin:0 auto;}
#indexHomeBody #contentMainWrapper {background:#ffffff;}

Then you could JUST have text on your home page, that is defined in your "Define Pages Editor" in your admin.

I'll let you think about what you want to do from there, but the above is a quick way to remove all sideboxes from home.

That red top bar is an image, it is

You can't change the color with just css. You read the readme.txt though, right? There is more than one color option available.
