Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[falstaffpac]

I've been working on this website awhile and have managed to figure most of the configuration issues out on my own. However I am stumped as to the issue I am currently experiencing.

I added EZPages header and footer hyperlinks for my categories, which are showing up fine. The categories in the header have an extremely narrow "mouseover" area (I hope I am describing this well). that is, if you cursor over any of the categories listed in the header, you will not easily get the hyperlink.

I'm sure this has got to be a sytlesheet.css issue, but I have no idea what settings to change.

Also, I would like to increase the margin between the ezpages header and the "HEADING_TITLE" (Welcome to Strung Out & Wired!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I have a couple of questions. First when you click on the 'login' or 'my account' tabs the page gets all thrown out of whack. I am sure I have done something wrong within a file to cause this but I have no clue how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also how can I make my EZ Page links white?

in regards to the header spacing, look for #logoWrapper in the stylesheet and change from

#logoWrapper {stylesheet.css (line 166)
margin-left:20px;
margin-top:12px;
width:auto;
}

to

#logoWrapper {stylesheet.css (line 166)
margin:12px 0 12px 20px;
width: auto;
}

as to the narrowness of the links, the header and following dive are tool close.

the links are within a div#navEZPagesTop which is nested inside the logoWrapper. it will simplify things a great deal if you can move navEZPagesTop inside div.contentWrap at the top level. this way you will preserve your design and allow the extra space navEZPagesTop needs for the links.

Before you begin, be sure to backup the two pages referenced below in case the result is not what you want.

In include/template/your-template/common/tpl_header.php, find the beginning of the ezPage block around line 80
and cut everything from
<!--bof-header ezpage links-->
to and including
<!--eof-header ezpage links-->

Now open include/template/your-template/common/tpl_main_page.php and pastd your code inside the contentWrap div, about line 78 before this code
<?php
// Display all header alerts via messageStack:
if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
echo $messageStack->output('header');
}

so your main_page.php should end up looking like this

<div class="contentWrap">
<!--bof-header ezpage links-->
<?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof-header ezpage links-->
<?php
// Display all header alerts via messageStack:
if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
echo $messageStack->output('header');
}

I hope that works for you. good luck.

OK I got help changing the link color. The login page solution I foud on my own and I figured I'd post the answere her in case anyone else ran into the same problem. I had to edit stylesheet.css I changed this part:

#loginBody .outer {
padding:0!important;

to

#loginBody .outer {
padding:50!important;

I honestly don't remember ever changing this to begin with so I don't think it was an error on my part. So just a heads up!

when you click on the logo it reloads the main page. how/where do i change that link so that when you click on the logo it will load a different page?

thanks.

I like this template. Is it possible to change the white space right behind the logo to a different color or use an additional background just for that space?

Basically, I want to have the logo with a colored background behind the logo and then a separate background behind that for the whole page.

Thanks

I know I am probably the culprit here, I changed the left and right side column width in the admin to 165 and messed with the width in the stylesheet.css and now and only with IE6 the contents of the left column drops down to below the center box content.

Can you tell from there what I messed up, or do I need to post that section of my stylesheet?

THANKS for all your hard work

Does the logo have to only be in the center or can it wrap across the sideboxes too at the top?

Basically I am trying to get rid of the white space on either side of the logo at the top. Hopefully I am explaining this right.

Thanks

Are you thinking about the Logo IMAGE or the text/tagline to the right?

If it's the text, you can edit the stylesheet.css and change the float to right instead of left. You can also adjust the width of that space too.

I have not learned how to cause that text to wrap and center vertically and horizontally. Anyone have an answer for that?
