Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[davidc304]

Anyone with cherry zen, can you help me? I have searched, but the search engine on here isnt to great. sorry.

I want to ADD another box at the top where "HOME LOGIN MY ACCOUNT, Etc..." are located... what do i need to do?

Also, i want to remove the SIDE search bar, and keep the one at the top. The setup for that isnt in the layout box setup either.
?

And furthermore, i want to move the top bars over to the left, and put the search on the right....

I am not asking for much am i? :) Thanks ahead of time! seeya

I love the temp. I have three questions about it:

1. I have about a fifth of and inch of the lite blue shadow over the top of the life and right sideboxes. How do I get rid of that?

2. How do change the screen size to full.
ex:
#mainWrapper {
background-color: #ffffff;
text-align: left;
width: auto;
vertical-align: top;
border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
}

3. How do you change the size of the lite blue shadow if you change the size of the sideboxes.

Thanks
Dave

Ok I looked and looked and can't find an answer.

I've seen this on other sites using this template, so I figure it can't just be me.
I've changed the sidebox.gif image to a different color.

Now behind the sidebox search there is yellow showing up around the edges. (see attached image)
This ONLY happens on the homepage. It's fine on every other page on the site.

I'm seeing it using IE7...it does not appear in FireFox.

And I know this sounds crazy...but I swear I don't think it was doing this until I tested using just a background color for the sideboxes instead of an image. (But I could be wrong and just didn't notice it)

The only piece of code I changed was this:

#contentMainWrapperb {
	background:url("../images/sidebox.gif") 0 0 repeat-y; /* This is the left column background "faked" with an image. */
	border-top: solid 2px #5C6A68;
	}

to this:

#contentMainWrapperb {
background: #a1abaa; /*url("../images/sidebox.gif") 0 0 repeat-y; /* This is the left column background "faked" with an image. */
border-top: solid 2px #5C6A68;
}

I saw it affected the entire page and immediately changed it back. But this should not have affected the right sidebox anyway. I use a different width image on the right named sidebox2.gif and I didn't change the code pertaining to it at all.

I apologize for rambling, but I wanted to try and give you as much information as possible.

This is a Version 1.3.8a cart, but I've run into the same problem on one or two of my 1.3.7 carts too. I know I can just turn it off...but it's bugging me.

Thanks for your help and this awesome template!

Remember that the sidebox search is an image itself, so if you change the color of the sidebox, the search box needs to be changed as well.

Hi Jade!

Well that was my first thought and I tried that, but it didn't work. Then I completely deleted the image out of the images folder just to see what would happen and now there is a yellow box showing. (see attached screenshot).


I have found something else though...and it explains why I didn't see it before. When there was no main page text, the yellow didn't show up. As soon as text was added, the yellow background appeared.


Thru a process of elimination, I have narrowed it down to being triggered by one word on the page...the word 'email'. I can substitute contact us and it doesn't have the yellow background. Any version of the word email, e.g.: E-mail, e-mail or email ... triggers the yellow background behind the search box.


The text is not linked either. It is just the word. I tried it both ways and it didn't make a difference.


I was incorrect before when I said it only occurred on the main page. It shows up like this on any page which has the word 'email' on it. It also does it with the original sidebox.gif images in place (see second screenshot).


My web developer toolbar is identifying it as" background-color: #FFFFA0 ", but this is not in any of the stylesheets.

Any clue as to what is causing this and where I can go to get rid of it?

Thanks!!

Ah. Its what IE7 does to designate "auto fill" fields. Perhaps do a google search to see if there is a way to stop auto fill fields from turning yellow.

Hi,
Thanks for the template.
I want to put a background image behind my logo and sales tag line (in the same space at the top of the page). Can anyone tell me how/what I need to do and if there is anything I should be aware of , for example, resolution or size-wise?
Many thanks,
RtX
