Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[ashton0603]

Thank you. The blue buttons are from the Cherry Zen template. I just rounded them off and changed the bottom color for the rollover effect.
I don't pretend to know much about css. I just ask a lot of questions and get a lot of help from the great folks here on the forum.

I too would like buttons for my site. Can you give me a bit more instruction though? Where would I find the button image? What folder would I upload it to? I can't seem to figure out how to do these things when it comes to templates. I am trying to do everything on my own rather than just doing the norm of adding products, pages, etc.

Thanks.

Buttons are found in includes/templates/cherry_zen/buttons/english/

There are a lot of different buttons for the site, not just one. You'd need to create any new ones you want with an image editing program, or use some from the download section. There's also this site:

which allows you to upload a left, right, and middle piece of your button, and then it creates all of them for you. It's not perfect though, but its a good time saver. It also has some pre-created buttons you can use.

I've searched & searched for the answer to this & cannot find it at all, please help!
How to I modify the top-level category links in the category sidebox in this template?

I've tried adding a.category-top, I've tried #categories a.category-top, I've tried just about every suggestion in this thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71511
& none of them have created ANY change (but editing other things in the stylesheet DO work, I'm not editing an unused file). I installed the ch_categories mod that keeps all categories open, but this mod still calls the tpl_categories.php file (which has not been modified), so that should not be causing problems. I am just so frustrated that I haven't been able to figure this out on my own.

Is there a different class being used on this template that I should be changing? Or something else?

If you take a look at my site"www.glamorousshoe.com" you will see that the content is wrapped in a table. How can I do something like that for this site: www.homedecoronline.net.

Also the links in the header don't show up in IE7.,

Hello Jade.
Thanks so much for this template. I have been teaching myself how to work these files & practicing on a test server before I upload. I am almost ready but a couple things are still bugging me & I can't figure them out.

I am using column layout for product listings. I would like as many products as possible on a listing page. I plan to have hundreds of products & don't want shoppers wasting time having to navigate page after page. I understand having to adjust the image size for the product listing page, but I don't know how to adjust the fonts. They are left justified and I would like them smaller & centered. I also would like the spaces removed between the product name, the price & the cart. Pretty much I need to consolidate & shrink the entire box.

I also noticed, when I increase the column count, the row count decreases. So if I increase to 6 columns, I have only 1 row. Your dotted lines sadly disappear with this many columns also.

My ideal listing pages would have 6 columns with at least 4 rows of products.
I am hoping you can tell me what to modify even though I'm not yet online.
Thanks,
Diana

Hey Jade Can you take a look at my test site www.homedecoronline.net,

If you click on one of the items you will see towards the buttom that the add to cart, tell a friend, and write a review buttons are not showing up.
I uploaded a set of the purple buttons from the download area and they were working fine but then I did something "I don't know what it is" and now the only place you see these buttons is in the shopping cart if you add an item you can see the update cart buttong.

Can you tell me where I screwed up.
By the way this is not the final design but we are getting there.

Thanks for the template.

Make sure css buttons is off in your admin, "Configuration", "Css Buttons", and/or, "Configuration", "Layout Settings" (at the bottom).

I think I found part of what I was looking for.
I was worried that I had messed things up by already having the grid layout module, then installing Cherry Zen over it- but I assume the Cherry Zen template file overides the default template files? I found this thread regarding the column grid layout I was asking about- it offers an update (Pro) that corrects the issue I was having: http://zen-cart.com/forum/showthread...288#post495288. So that fixed the font centering issue & gridlines.

I have learned quite a bit by your detailed instructions with your template files as well as this thread - thank you.
