Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

[JTheed]

I would like to add a Contact Us link to the navMain menu. However, the addition of another link forces the generation of a second line of text which then pushes the header down - Visually not so nice.

I reduced the font size of the navMain menu but the second line is generated nonetheless.

I could probably achieve the desired result by deactivating the search header but would prefer not to. The link to this customer site can be found here.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Try lowering the right side padding here in your stylesheet.css and if you have to, the width:

#navMain a span {
cursor:pointer;
display:block;
float:left;
padding:7px 15px 10px;
text-align:center;
width:90px;
}

yup I just removed the text. here's the css for that.
#taglineWrapper {
width:75%;
float:left;
}

Here's the header:
<?php

*/

// header text in includes/header.php
define('HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'Create Account');
define('HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT', 'My Account');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS', 'Shopping Cart');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT', 'Checkout');
define('HEADER_TITLE_TOP', 'Top');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');
define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF', 'Log Out');
define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN', 'Log In');

// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', ' ');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', ' ');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

// header Search Button/Box Search Button
define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search');
define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Search');

?>

Here's the logo css tag
#logo {
padding-left:15px;
text-align:center;

Thanks a bunch once again. This is killing me

I have copied your css to my template setup and the problem is not there. There was no editing of any .php file or any changed from another mod?

Yea I know. I re-installed a new, unmodified, copy and have the same problem. I am migrating to this template from the "Clean Business" template, which worked fine. I can't figure out what would be causing this. I thought mabe the ultra large logo. But the smaller "cherry" logo does the same. I put all the columns back to default and everythings the same. Re-uploaded the whole template again and left unmodified and was still having this problem. It does this on the "main_page=product_reviews_info" page as well. This is the only 2 I can find so far. What do these 2, and only these 2, have in common that I'm not picking up on?



Thanks

Well, this is a tough one, at least for me. A quick fix would be to turn the right side column off when you go to the shopping cart.

Do this in the includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_main.page.php

Look for:

// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
  if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'account_history_info,login,shopping_cart,checkout_payment,checkout_confirmation,tracker,no_account,list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
    $flag_disable_left = true;

add the code in red to that line and when they go to the shopping cart, it will shut off the left column and come back on if they continue to shop.
I would need to see your php files in order for me to fix it. It has to be something wrong in one of your php files, but which one, I do not know as I am unable to duplicate it here, but I have verified your css is fine.

This doesn't change the cart page at all. both columns are still displayed. Both columns are displayed in the review page as well but differently now http://www.bedsideplaythings.com/ind...3&reviews_id=2
It's really kind of you to take all this time to help me. I really do appreciate it. Validating it it seems as though there's a couple of tables broken but I just can't pinpoint where exactly it is.

But of course...! Things always seem so obvious once someone else points it out

Thanks for taking the time to help me out!

I am using the cherry zen template on v1.3.8a. Everything is working great.

I changed the width of the side boxes per the readme_or_else.
After the change the left sideboxes dropped down. I am brand new at coding so I don't know where to look. Been searching the forums and haven't found anything.

Thanks
Bill

I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Put a link to your site so we can see what it looks like.
