Jettrue. Thank you for your help regarding sideboxes content color. Works well.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Is there an easy way to change it so that if the visitor is not logged in, My Account only shows the log in box, not the create account fields as well? (I'm using the split login page).

I'd like this effect:

When the visitor checks out, he sees the normal functionality: the page shows both a login box (for returning customers) and create account fields (for new customers).

But if the visitor clicks on My Account:
If he is logged in, he sees his account information
If he is not logged in, he sees only a login box only (no create account fields).

Is this easy to do?

Thanks, Susie

Sorry for my delayed reply.

Since the MY ACCOUNT page, directs to the LOGIN page if the visitor is not logged in.... so changing the login page will change it when a customer is checking out also. Anyway, its not an easy fix, but you can ask in the general forum.

how can I add a "detail" button to featured products on front page

I'm not sure, good question for the general forum.

Jettrue,

Can one use larger pictures on the front page without breaking the template?

In your opinion, what is the best size to upload for "large", "medium" and "small" pictures?

I'm trying to revamp for a faster load.

I would use IH2 (image handler 2), it does the resizing for you automatically, and you only have to upload one image.

Hi Jade,

I have read the read me and I'm still confused I've been searching the support forum and can't seem to find my answer.

I want to add a banner in the Sales Text. I inserted 'templatebanner.gif' in the Sales Text area. Is that correct. When I uploaded the file all I saw was the text templatebanner.gif instead of the actual image. Can you please explain what I'm doing wrong.

Thanking you in advance.

Jen

Where have you uploaded the image online? Be sure that you put the correct path to the image. For example, if you uploaded it to the main images/ folder, you need to put the path to the image as images/templatebanner.gif.

I want a background image behind the left sidebar.

When I put an image in the code below -- it goes all the way across the main content section.

#contentMainWrapperb {
background:#ffffe6; /* This is the left column background "faked" with an image. */
}

You need to leave the code for that section the same as my original, just change the image name:

#contentMainWrapperb {
	background: url("../images/sidebox.gif") 0 0 repeat-y; /* This is the left column background "faked" with an image. */
}

I asked the above question earlier, but you had a bazillion questions at the time and it may have gotten overlooked. :)

I've searched the forum and still can't find how to do this. Maybe I'm not using the correct search terms.

Thank you for your help and this fantastic template!

View the source of the page for the section you want this to happen in. Look for the nearest css tag, then style it in the css like this:

#nameOfSection img {}

Hello. I followed your instructions to the letter in the READ ME OR ELSE file on how to adapt Chery Zen to a two column format but seem to have lost the ability to change the color of my content page as it now is the same color as the background. I removed the right column and when I put it back the color I had chosen for the center column returned but then disappeared when the column was taken out.

What in the world did I do wrong?

Could I see the link?

Are these the instructions you followed:

3. To have ONLY left sideboxes, first turn off the left sideboxes in the admin, at "configuration", "Layout Settings", "Column Left Status - Global". Then open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css and remove the padding-right from the .outer section:

.outer {
padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
padding-right: 150px; /* Our right column width */
}

and remove the background image from #contentMainWrapper.

Could someone explain to me what i could have done wrong with the footer.. i had a customer purchase one of my predesigned templates and i have had a go at customizing it to the cherry zen template but the footer is not showing up..

one other thing is the i am having trouble getting the layout boxes to show up..

I have read tutorials etc but i am still at a loss as to what is happening with the footer and boxes..

Her site is http://www.mamaparadise.com/

it may not show up as she is transferring info to this new site from an old host..

I'd have to see a link to the store.

My store - www.newoldsounds.com

It works perfectly in Firefox on two of my PCs (both 1024x768 resolution) . In IE6 the navigation bar is about 20px taller...In IE7, the background behind the box titles, behind the text Categories and Information, the background doesn't go all the way across the box, and the credit card image in the upper right is cut off.

Mac - On Firefox and Safari on my mac (1024x768 resolution) the categories box displays below the images. This is a major issue! I've tried narrowing everything a bit to make it all fit, but no luck.

Any comments on the overall appearance/layout are welcome too.

I really appreciate the kind help this community provides, and I thank everyone in advance for their help.

Tim

I do not see any issues with the width in firefox or safari on my mac.

You removed this

<!--closting divs for drop shadow -->
</td></tr></table></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>


from includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_footer.php and its causing issues.
