Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[weezee]

Always test in firefox because IE seems to ignore page errors. My guess is that you have accidently deleted a </div> somewhere and so your page is not formatted correctly. Perhaps use firebug in firefox to see if all your <div> are closed?

Does anyone know how I can put a solid banner picture in cherry zen, instead of having a little logo in the top left? I want a solid image as a header.

Theese are the only two files i have changed:

a:hover {
color:#ff0000; /* color when links are hovered over */
text-decoration:none;


nw {
width:80%; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
max-width:1200px; /* prevents the main content from getting wider than 1300px in sites other than IE */
min-width:900px; /* this prevents the main content from getting smaller than 1000px in browsers OTHER THAN IE. You can make this as small as 800px.
I downloaded a fresh cherry zen and compared the files to my files and I couldn't find a </div> that was different or not on my files. so the must be something else wrong with it the reason it shows different in IE and foxfire.

In addition to the below problem for which I'm awaiting a response, can someone tell me how to change the image backgrounds used in the red template? I have gone into the cherry_zen "red" images folder and replaced those with the images I'd like to use (tab tops for the menu and a 150px w rounded image for the sidebox image) but the changes are not taking effect. In fact, i went so far as to delete all the images from that folder just to remove the current images, and they still remain? While everything I'm reading says that these images are located in the red images folder, they're obviously being served from elsewhere. Please advise. Thank you! Oh and any help with the pre-existing question would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you

Hello! Thanks for the template! I am having a small (or I hope it's small) problem however. I got it working perfectly for IE7 and Firefox, however on IE6 the right column is all jacked up. For reference please look at this site using IE6 (you might need to have your resolution set at 800X600) - http://www.conspicuouschick.com/zencart/index.php

What seems to be happening, is the reviews column is over lapping the top and bottom of the page - covering up the navigation menu at the top - it's also missing the grey background.

Please advise. Thank you!

Hi
I've just installed Cherry Zen template all went OK, apart from the problem with the left hand side boxes as you can here, http://www.indigosilvergems.com the Categories are half way down the page.

Anyone know a fix for this, all help welcome.


Thanks.

I'm having the same exact problem. All col. settings are at 150px - but the left column on IE6 only is way down at the bottom. I've tried fixing it several ways with an IE6 style sheet to no avail. I've run the validator and the item not validating are only concerned with php links - so I'm at a loss here. the site is here Any help is really appreciated.

I am having a hard time figuring out why I cannot get my 3 different size images to view? I am doing it exactly as the book says, using the _MED and _LRG suffices, they are in the proper directories, but all three pictures showing up are the root image.

Also is there a list the explains what all the image that are listed in the CONFIGURATION>IMAGES directory are? The book is dismal, stating that they are self-explanatory. Bull to that. Some certainly are, but holy cow, there are a lot I can't figure out what they mean and what they refer to?

I would appreciate some suggestions. thanks

Hi Love the template

Need help
Wondering if you could help with my links in the header, I have attached a image to show you what headings I would like, some external and some will be Ez-pages in the header. I Have changed font colour but have trouble with the alignment off them as well.

I have worked out it's the page tpl_header.php but the code has got me confused

Thanks to all that can help

I see new images, not the old ones.

For your other problem, try adding this to your stylesheet:

* html #navColumnTwo {
    margin-right: -170px !important;
    }

Sorry I'm so slow to respond... computer problems, new dog, gotta go to work. I'll try to catch up soon!

Reply with the FULL names of the three images you are using, and their directories.....

Okay I added the code exactly as you show it here to my stylesheet and it made no changes at all.

As for the images, I got the rounded images to work on the sidebox headings, however, I created white tabs for the main navigation menu at the top of the page and they're not showing up at all. I still get the old images - Oh, and on firefox the images are too high, they extend on the bottom over the red background.

Eeek... Please help.

Thank you.

Can someone tell me how to edit a previous post? I feel bad posting as I figure things out and then putting up a new post...

Anyway, I got the new images to display, however when you roll over them they shift up. This is acceptable for IE7 and Firefox I suppose (though I'd prefer they didn't) but in IE6 it looks like crap. IE6 is also adding more red below which makes the tabs appear to be floating in the middle of red, which looks bad.

And I still can't seem to figure out the right column problem. If you look at this in IE7 and IE6, you can see how IE6 just wrecks everything (i wont even get into the fact that ie6 doesn't seem to like the fold out menu... *sigh* )

Thanks so much for all the help and patience!!!

Images for sidebar headers ...

... I've downloaded "image titles" mod. It says to change certain code in the "tpl_box_default_left.php in the commons folder.

My Cherry Zen doesn't have such a tpl.
