Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[tj4florida1]

Hi everyone, I am new to everything. This is the first online store that I have tried to set up. I started with oscommerce (way to much to know) then I heard of zen. Easier and cleaner setup for me. Well I found the cherry zen template and love the way it looks. My site is going to be at ltdammo.com. I will be selling firearm ammunition. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help make a logo for me that is similar in size and quality to the cherry zen logo.. I would be willing to pay, or buy any software that I may need. Just don't know where to start. This forum has been great in helping me install the zen software, and the cherry zen template. Any help would really be appreciated.

Hello, I was woundering what files are using to make the roll over effect or how it was done? I would like to incorporate this into my existing site... Cool looking temp!

Thanks!

Hey Jade I just wanted you to know that I fixed the problem of my site changing font sizes at random times. The problem was with my languages/english/header.php file as somehow the beginning code was changed when my database was reloaded by the server from


<?php

to

'<?php

which showed the character ' at the very top left of the file and caused the font size to shift.

Problem solved.

Oh and for your info the header links don't work in Safari 1.2.2 - circa 2003 nor will it work for IE 5.2 for Mac. I can open up the admin panel but the website will not load in. Good to know.

It'll be a little complicated, but doable. You'll need to also increase the grey sidebox image as well to the width you want. You'll have to open the file in an image editing program, then re-size it and save it.

First you'll need to change the width of the sideboxes in the admin, under "Configuration", "Layout Settings". Make sure to change both sideboxes in both places.

Then in the css, this section contains the changes you'll need to make:

.outer {
    padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
    padding-right: 150px; /* Our right column width */
    }
 
.inner {
    width: 100%;
    }
 
.float-wrap {
    float: left;
    width: 97%;
    margin-left: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
    }
 
#content {
    float: right;
    margin-right: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
    width: 100%;
    line-height:1.6;
    position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
    }
 
.contentWrap{
    padding: 5px 0 5px 5px;
    }
 
#navColumnOne { 
    float: left;
    position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
    }
 
#navColumnTwo {
    float: right; 
    margin-right: -150px; /* This negative margin-right value is in this example the same as the right column width. */
    position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
    }

You'll change the 150px to the width of your sideboxes. Let's say you choose 170px, then you'll need to also increase all of the 165px by 20px, to 185px.

I *believe* that's all you'll need to do, let me know how it works out.

Just coming back with feedback for this. All advice given has worked

Thanks alot :)

Hi,

I have managed to edit the part below where you enter the company name and where it says sagefish, so it looks better, but ontop of all that there is a single link that says "home" which I would like removed from there. Any idea how?

Oh and also any way I can align the header banner (Google) To the right of the template? How can I do that?

Thanks

Hi,
Sorry not the google banner but the one next to the logo.

You'll need to open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_header.php and remove this:

<li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

I would answer your following question, but I don't see a google banner next to the logo.

Hi,

Please look again, I recently removed it becasue it was looking too ugly and put it in h3, but I have added ti to h2 aswell now and woiuld like to vertically center it and horizontally align it. I have tried floating it and that does not work it just centers it below the logo.

Thanks

Hi everyone. I am trying to set up my first store. How do I remove the zen cart e-book from the center column. Also how do you remove the Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution. Simple terms would be best since I am quite new to zen.
