Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[Boggled]

I tried really hard to do this without having to bother you.

I'm trying to relocate the Add to Cart button, move the additional images up just a bit and remove the dotted line divider from the additional images.

The attached screenshots show what I have now and what I want if it's possible.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you.

Thank you.

What menu bar? The top red bar? Or are you talking about a logo above the grey ezpages bar?

Thank you for replay. I mean the Top red bar.

Thank you for replay. I mean the Top red bar.

Did you know you can add a banner, using the "Tools", "banner manager" in the admin? You then turn on the banner group you created under "Configuration", "Layout settings". Header Position 1 is above the top red bar, so adding an image under the banner manager to that position would save you having to open any php files.

Tank you jettrue. It really saved time.
Now could you please direct me how I can add menu battons and links in the red menu ba such as "about us" and "why buy from us". The problem become more complex because I need it in both English and Russian. Or would you advice any other alternative?

Thank you.

Hi Jettrue:

I am extremely new to the ZenCart and trying to get my web site set up, but really don't know where to begin.

Absolutely love you Cherry Template and would like to use it as a guideline for my site.

The people hosting my site were nice enough to install the ZenCart and your template for me, but now I'm trying to customize the template. I am so confused with this and not sure if I'm doing the right thing here. I've read your instructions quite a few times, but I'm so green with all this stuff that I still find this confusing.

I uploaded the image of my header into the template images out of my control panel, but I don't really know how to over write your logo image.

Would it be possible for you to point me in the right direction with customizing your template? Am I suppose to put your template into a program such as Expression Web to edit and make changes. I'm confortable using EW, but can't figure out how to get your template in there.

A feel so dazed and confused with this whole thing. I do apologize for bothering you, but any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

I have no advice for the english/russian issue, I've never dealt with multiple languages, however, I do know that you have to create a russian language file for every english one that you have, so that when your customers change it to russian, zen cart knows what to change the text to.

To add buttons, you'll need to open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_header.php and find this section:

        <div id="navMain">
          <ul>
            <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></span></a></li>
            <?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
            <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>
          </ul>
        </div>
      </div>

which is the red links. Carefully look through the above code, and figure out where you want your links. Then add them like this:

<li><a href="link to page here"><span>Name of Page Here</span></a></li>

You'll also need to open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css and make #navMain wider than 750px.

How can I take of the the "New products for August from the front page

[jettrue]

I tried really hard to do this without having to bother you.

I'm trying to relocate the Add to Cart button, move the additional images up just a bit and remove the dotted line divider from the additional images.

Well, without seeing a direct link, I can't give specific instructions tailored to your current changes, but I can tell you that you'll need to be sure to paste the add to cart directly after <!--eof attributes module -->, be sure to remove any <br class="clearBoth" /> between the attributes section and the cart section.

Then in the css, you'll have to mess with the width of #rightFloat to give the options and cart more room, you'll have to reduce the width and remove the margin for #productAttributes, and change #cartAdd to float:left. There's got to be enough width for cartAdd to "float" to the left of #productAttributes.

You can add this to your css to get rid of the dotted lines between additional images.

#productAdditionalImages .vDotLine, #productAdditionalImages .hDotLine {background:none;}

This causes the top padding for the additional images - and many other things, so realize that if you remove the padding here, you remove it for everything else in the list (you can just remove .additionalImages from this list):

.centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .additionalImages, .centerBoxContentsSpecials, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .centerBoxContentsFeatured, .centerBoxContentsNew {
	margin:1em 0;
}
