Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[jettrue]

Now it's 6 products that I have reviews for, but it only rotates 2 of them. I asked in the sideboxes forum a few days before I asked here and I received 129 views and one half answer. The only reason I'm asking is because I thought I saw a sidebox called Random Reviews somewhere, and the cherry_zen sidebox is just called Reviews....so I thought maybe you had changed the sidebox code and I was doing something wrong.

I'll try looking through the default files for the random reviews sidebox (if it is actually marked that way) and putting it into the cherry_zen sidebox folder and activating it....maybe that will work.

Nope, I made no changes to the sidebox... in fact my template doesn't have any reviews related files in it.

Hi
love the template, I have one problem, I am operating a showcase only site, how would i remove the shopping cart & checkout from the header, i have tried taking out
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></span></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></span></a></li>
<?php
} else {
if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></span></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></span></a></li>
<?php } } ?>
<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>
from the common tpl_header and it does not work just shuts the site down.
any ideas?

Check again at what you removed, and be very careful not to miss the ending ?> from the code you remove, or otherwise mess with any php.

No biggie...I found a way around it....it works for now. It seems that the reviews box doesn't want to randomly pick one review when I tell it that I only want it to show 1 review in the box. So...I have 6 reviews so far (new store) and so I told the box to show 6 reviews in the box....instead of showing all 6 at once it's randomly picking from 6 of them. I'll just have to keep raising the number as I get more reviews....and then I'll just have to hope that the box never actually tries to show all the reviews at once....lol

Ah, yes, I think its designed to only show one at a time, you're just telling it how many to rotate through.

That's the EZ-Pages Header, you have to turn it on in your admin, under "configuration", "Ez-Pages Settings".

Jettrue,
Why, in the right column, do the headers and some text become off center? They offset to the left toward the page center while the gray background stays in place where it should. I have replaced the stylesheet.css with your original only changing the float to center my logo in the header per your instructions:

#logo {
/* float:left; commented out to center logo */
padding-left:15px;
text-align:center;
}

Also, when a product is clicked on, the text in each right and left column in the specific product page becomes quite large when the product page (for that particular product) loads. Yet when I return to the home page the text returns to normal size.

Is there a possible relationship between the text size chosen for a product description and the default text size for the right and left columns causing this? (This may not be an issue of Cherry AZen but something else)

Try adding this to your stylesheet:

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

As for the text getting larger, I bet you don't have <font> tags in your description closed properly. Remember that you need a </font> at the end of EACH font size, or font color.

[Trailtreks]

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it and will try what you suggest. I could have very well missed closing a font size with the </font> tag. Bet I did.

Not like that could happen with hundreds of products to enter with descriptions...

Thanks again!

Jettrue,
Your fix worked perfectly for aligning the right column headers and text. What it also did was resolve the large text in the right and left columns after opening a product page. I checked all my product descript <font> tags and found none left improperly open (or omitted), however, after adding your fix for the offset right column headers and text it also (some how??) fixed the large column text problem. Was trying to determine how it might have done that but couldn't come to any conclusion so I'm not questioning it...

Things are as they should be...

Thanks!
