Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Oh dear - my layout works great in Firefox but looks terrible in IE. What can be wrong? I added code and styles so the cart appeared in the header on the right.


I will PM you with a URL to the test site if you want to see it in action

Absolutely.

Thanks for the quick response Jade. I managed to fix the problem after a lengthy phone call to a friend who understands Zencart.

Basically there were two things wrong:

1) I originally placed the extra cart wrapper on its own at the top of the template. Moving it inside the logowrapper solved the problem of the div putting a gap at the top of the page.

2) Adding width and height attributes to logowrapper fixed the problem of the tagline and the cartwrapper placement.

I will PM you with a URL so you can see the site based on your original template (thanks for that too - wonderful work)

Hi jettrue did you see my earlier post about the background in all side boxes. I want to change the color to something else instead of grey. How would I do that.
Thank you

The sidebox is controlled by the image sidebox.gif, in the cherry_zen/images folder. Change the color in the image, then re-upload.

Hello
I would like my Checkout link to redirect to the Shopping cart link if it is clicked when the cart is empty. Similar to earlier request...

There isn't a checkout link in the classic template without going through the shopping cart so I can't compare, but is there a way to write a function like "if shopping cart contents=0 then checkout link redirects to homepage(or some other page), if shopping cart contents= >0 then link goes to checkout"? It seems as if having a link to checkout with nothing in the cart breaks the template. Perhaps a function could be written to only show the checkout link in the header if there are items in the cart?

If someone could point me in the direction of where the code should go then I would happily play with it (until I break it!).

Thanks

Is that page breaking when you click "checkout"? If so, you can just upload includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_time_out_default.php from the newest version.


To make the checkout the same as shopping cart, simply open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_header.php and change this:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>

to this:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
           <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>

I think that'll do it!

Hi,

I just installed the HideCategories mod on my ZC, which uses the Cherry Zen template. It works to hide the item (I made a Hidden Category, with 1 product in it) from searches and the "new items" listing, but in my Sidebox, the Hidden category is showing with 1 product in it. I tried all variations on the hidecategories setup to no avail, nothing I do seems to take this hidden category out of the sidebox even when I choose the totally hidden option.

If anyone can tell me what I must change to fix this, I'd be very very grateful!!!

Thanks,
Patrick

Did you ask in the hideCategories thread? I can't see what in the template could be causing the sidebox issue.

I would start a new thread about this, but have you also turned on the "information" sidebox in "Tools", "Layout Boxes Controller"?
