Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi!

In this image - what must I change in the CSS to get the background image to line up with the main logo image?

http://www.lemongrassmedia.com/zen01.jpg

They are both the same height and I tried playing with align-bottom etc but I don't know what I should be editing.

I want the effect that the logo bar extends the full width of the page no matter what the browser width is!

Thanks
Ernie

Hi!
First off I have to say the template is awesome, and was exactly what I am looking for the only problem I am having is the left sidebar. I wanted only one side bar and on the left. When I turn off the global settings for the left side which is set to 0 its shows nothing but the gap. When I turn it on the categories and information section show.
this is the style sheet code

.outer {
	padding-left: 250px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
	padding-right:0px; /* Our right column width */

#contentMainWrapper {
	background:; /* This is the right column background "faked" with an image. */
	background-color:#000000; /*background color for the main "content" of the site */
	}

#contentMainWrapperb {
	background:; /* This is the left column background "faked" with an image. */
	background-color:#000000; /*background color for the main "content" of the site */
	}

In layout settings (through admin):
Column width for left and right are set to 0
Both my left and right status -global are set to 0

I tried searching through the threads but didnt found any problem like mines, and I read the installation files like 4 times or even more.
Thanks for any help in advance

Hello there,

First of all, forgive me if the answer has been given in this thread. I have had a long look through but couldn't find the exact answer.

On checkout and related pages, I have put code in tpl_main_page to remove left and right sideboxes. I have figured out how to remove the grey background that appears behind the sideboxes.

I thought I had it when I edited

.outer {

...........and disabled the padding for left and right.

But on our Wishlist page, logoff page, and another page, the right sideboxes spill over to the right, off its normal position.

I wondered if maybe I need to edit another set of lines in the stylesheet, or if anyone else has experienced this? I am grateful for any help.

Thanks in advance.

HeathenMagic what didn't work removing the Grey in the background or removing your side boxes. I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. If you are trying to change the color of the sidebox you will need to do that from your
/includes/templates/your_template/images/sidebox.gif Open it up in a editing program like paint or fireworks.
You don't need to edit anything in you stylesheet.css

Not sure whats going on so any help would be great. Im installing the cart upsell mod and at the last part of the install it says put this code: <?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_CART_UPSELL)); ?> in before the last closing </div> of the tpl_shopping_cart_default.php did that.

When testing it the page just went all blue all sideboxes just disappeared.

can be seen here: http://dealz-r-us.com/index.php?main...r_of_uploads=0

Can someone tell me how to solve this issue please.

Thank you.

Thanks Countrycharm for replying. Yeah I might not have explained it too well, sorry.

I altered the line to remove grey colouring, which was still there when I disabled the boxes on certain pages (in tpl_main_page) . Eg the Checkout pages, I want the middle content to fill out to where the left and right sideboxes usually are. But it stays where it is, the sidebox areas staying at 150px either side of the checkout content.

The stylesheet lines that begin with this part

.outer {

below it I removed the padding for the left and right columns. Which actually does the trick.

But the thing that goes wrong is the RIGHT COLUMN sideboxes spill over off the page on these pages so far:-

WISHLIST PAGE
LOGOFF PAGE
and a custom page, there may be more. Product pages are fine and ezpages are ok.

I will make another post in a little while with a picture and the code I have set.

Thanks again for replying, and thanks in advance.

[HeathenMagic]

Heres the code I used:-

.outer {
padding-left: 165px; /*Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
/*padding-right: 150px; right column width */
}

as per the readme. Well I tried disabling both padding statements but that doesn't work. So the LEFT COLUMN space is still present on center column only pages, but I could live with that as my checkout page content fills out quite nicely anyway. Both columns areas disabled would be great though. I have a heavily customised checkout you see.

Instead of a picture, this link will show how it looks so far:-
https://www.thegemtree.com/index.php?main_page=logoff

Well it is only the WISHLIST page, sometimes the Homepage and LOGOFF that are affected as far as I know, but there may be other pages. Maybe I have to edit the files for these pages for them to conform to my stylesheet alteration, which would be ok.

But any insight or tips are appreciated as always.

Thanks

HeathenMagic try cutting off your EZ-Pages Display Status - HeaderBar and the Select Currency:on top of your page Just see what happens. If it clears up your problem then it is in one of them.

How do I add a link to my blog (http://www.alovelything.##########################) in the top nav bar, next to: HOME, LOG IN, etc?

I've tried to figure this out myself with no success. I thought I could tweak the common for the header, but I'm really afraid of messing it up -- I don't know PHP at all.
