Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

JT - thanks so much, you solved my problem! :)

Your welcome. Just so other's know, she had her column widths set to wide in the layout settings in the admin section.

Where can I turn of the right column? I will only be using left column side boxes.

I've changed my layout settings to;
Column right Status - Global = 0

I tested this in the Default Zen template and it worked great but not in Cherry Zen, there must be an override somewhere that I am not seeing.

The template looks like it is still leaving space for the right side boxes.

Start by removing or commenting out these in the stylesheet.css file

background:url("../images/sidebox.gif") 100% 0 repeat-y; /* This is the right column background "faked" with an image. */

on line 64 and then remove or comment out this:

padding-right: 170px; /* Our right column width */

on line 195. This will get rid of the gray background on the right side and make the center larger to the right.

BTW: This is actually explained in the readme_or_else.txt file that comes with Cherry Zen

Just tested it out on Zen-Cart 1.39a and it is working fine.

Is your store running 1.3.8, or 1.3.9? My store is running 1.3.8 I am a little hesitant on updating it.

Currently on 1.38a, but I have done several new installs of 1.39a and tested it on them. I have copied my Store to another server, including the database and upgraded it. I had to comb thru the code as I have a lot of mods installed and I didn't want to lose them. The database updated without any trouble. Cherry Zen worked fine there too. I have the luxury of running my own servers and I have several test installs on them.
Now that I did the upgrade on my store in a test environment, I can copy that one to the live store when I am ready to do it.

If you have added a lot of mods, other than templates, you will have to go thru the code using something like WinMerge or Beyond Compare.

Just remember, before starting BACKUP EVERYTHING, CODE & DATABASE

Good Luck

Hello.

I am using the new release of Zencart (1.39a) and am creating a site using the Cherry template.

One problem I have encountered is that as I create new categories/products they appear in both the left sidebox (which I want) but also in the top center of each page, spreading out sideways from the center (which I don't want).

How do I prevent that from happening?

Also, I want to remove the "Home" from the bottom of the page as I don't feel it serves much purpose.

I can't yet post a link to the site but if it becomes necessary I will do so tomorrow.

This is a terrific template by the way.

Thank you.

I can tell you that the top center appearances are Not Cherry Zen, but Zen-Cart. Go to your admin page, Layout Settings. About 5th from the Bottom, Category Tabs Menu - Turn this off.

The other I'll figure out but dinner is on the table.

Dinner comes first so no rush (though if you hang around for a protracted desert i might have something to say ).

Thanks for that first piece. Don't spend too much time on the latter if you don't have a solution in mind; it's a nice to have not a need to have.
