Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

manton:

@Mark228 Sorry, this is the correct:

<img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/store/images/yourimage.gif" alt="yourimagename" /> ```

Hi thanks for the reply. I know the html for inserting images, i just haven't a clue where I insert the html code as there are so many different files full of CSS code that I don't understand lol. Here is what it says in the file you said to edit:

<?php
/**
 * Common Template - tpl_header.php
 *
 * this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
 * example: to override the privacy page<br />

 * to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi Mark,

You have already altered this page, well not the page itself but the variable that exists in this page. If you check my previous post, I suggest that around line 77 of that page you will see the <div id="tagline"><?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?></div>.
The part that needs to be changed is <?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?>.

Don´t modify anything directly in this page! You only have to find where the HEADER_SALES_TEXT variable is defined.
Go to includes/languages/your_language/header.php
There you may define what the logo image will be and you may as well alter the menu text.

Wherever you see variables you have to find where the variables are defined and simply alter them as you like. In my opinion, you have to use your edit/find option of your html editor a lot :wink:

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Ok... There's probably an answer here somewhere but unfortunatly I got bored after page 100 or so... So hopefully someone will have an answer to my issue.

I've installed Cherry zen into my cart and have selected it as the default template. There appears to be an issue with the sidebox formating. you can view the site by going to:

https://www.christinafrench.com/sienna

you will notice that the side boxes are not in the correct places and that there appears to be 3 search boxes, where I think there should be only one in the top left corner.

Can someone please take a look and suggest a solution to this issue. i've checked the settings etc in the admin of the cart and everything appears to be correct. I do have another template installed which is Classic XHTML... Could this be causing the issue and should I Delete the template?

i've set my monitor resolution to 1024 x 768 which should be more than adequate for this template.

Thanks in advancve for your help,

Andy

The right search box is on because you need to turn it off under "Tools", "Layout Boxes Controller". The left search box, however, looks like it was added there manually, you perhaps added it in your other template, and probably put the changes in your template_default folder instead of your old template folder. I would open up "Tools", "Developers Tool Kit", and search all files (I always use the bottom search box) for quick_find_header so you can see where you added it. You need to remove this whole chunk:

<form name="quick_find_header" action="http://christinafrench.com/sienna/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="main_page" value="advanced_search_result" /><input type="hidden" name="search_in_description" value="1" /><input type="search" name="keyword" id="searchTop" size="20" maxlength="30" value="Search" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Search') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Search';" /></form>

As for the width wierdness, as stated in the readme, you need to set BOTH sidebox width's to 150px (it should be changed in 4 places) under "Configuration", "Layout Settings".

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Well I searched for awhile, hope someone has run into this already that can help. I have been using this template for a little while now. Its great. One thing I want to do is remove the Quantity from the products list. I have go into New Listing, Feature Listing, All Listings and set the Show quantity to 0=off and I also went into product types and edit the layout to Show Quantity 0=off but if I click on a category it still shows the quantity, anyone know where to turn this off?

Here is my site, you'll see right below the More Info link it shows the quantity

Thanks for your reply. I decided that rather than try and find the individual files from the other template, I deleted the whols thing from my server and dropped all the tables, started a fresh, installed zen cart and then ONLY uploaded cherry zen... Guess what.. It looks lovely.

Now my second question. How do I change the name of the page titles for each page? I want to get rid of the "zen cart: The art of E-Commerce" legend from the title. I am however leaving the Powered by zen Cart at the bottom of each page obviously.

i know how to do it with html pages but am quite lost with php pages.

Thanks again in advance.

Hi again... ok I'm still stuck lol! I went to the header.php and did the following:

<?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', 'The Goldmine');
  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<img src=http://thegoldmine.co.uk/includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/goldmine.jpg'>);
  define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', ' ');

  define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

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

?>

Which just made the site not load at all, so I've deleted the img src code again. Is this where I'm supposed to be adding it? Sorry to be a pain!

I don't want to change the logo.gif, I just want to put that lettering jpg to the right of it somehow...

You have to be good at looking at details when changing the language files. Look closely at where you put your closing single quote after the image you added.

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<img src=http://thegoldmine.co.uk/includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/goldmine.jpg**'**>);

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi,

I've tried checking the general Zen Cart support section with no luck, hopefully someone here will point me in the correct direction.

I've installed Cherry Zen and want to replace the main e-start-book.gif image with a centered Flash animation. Now i know how to embed the Flash.... That's not a problem, but I can't find how to centre it in the main page. Is it altered via a style sheet or is there a php file that needs to have a float:left tag removed?

Please help me.... I'm fairly new to php and shopping carts so any help would be much appreciated.

AndyYou should not have to edit any PHP or CSS to change the front page of your site. In the admin control panel, go to Tools / Define Pages Editor

Select either text mode or HTMLarea for a WYSIWYG editor, the in the pull down select define_main_page.php and edit to your hearts content.

Just a tip: always include a link to the site you are working on, so if you are having problems, we can see what you are having problems with.

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hello,

First of all, I wanted to say thank you for this wonderful template.

Here is what I need help with. The search in the header, I need it to be an advanced search that follows this pattern.

keyword field/category pull down/manufactures pull down/ button

I tried to mess the with the advanced search in the side box (this is an add on), and use the code in my header but..... it only works on the main page. Any searches from other pages in my site doesn't work. I really hope someone can help me with this as I believe it's a major help to website visitors.

Thanks for your time Nicole

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi -

Well I have installed the cherry zen template and I really like so far.....but I actually haven't gotten that far at all. I've been spinning my wheels for four days now. Reading through posts and monkeying around with the code. I am ready to give godaddy $50 a month for their shopping cart. :(

Please check my website; https://www.paigesjewelry.com. The issues I need help with are:

  1. I need to get rid of the "powered by zen-cart" logo picture. I went into the template_default and deleted the logo.gif but that did not work.

  2. I don't know where the "Heading_Title" came from or how to get rid of it.

  3. I would like to make "Welcome to Paige's Jewelry & Fragrance. Your Wholesale Jewelry & Fragrance Source." bigger, centered, and in a different font but not sure where to do all this either.

  4. I also would like to enter some additional text information below the header.

I am VERY new at this coding stuff so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Paige

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi paigesjewelry,

You would probably really benefit from getting the Zen Cart book. It will explain to you in easy to understand terms.

I used the Cherry Zen template and made it into this:
https://www.newoldsounds.com

I have been working with the template for about 6 months now and spent a lot of time getting it to look this way. If you want to retain full control over the way stuff looks and behaves, Zen Cart is far superior to GoDaddy, not to mention a lot cheaper. With GoDaddy, a lot of stuff is "locked in" so to speak, whereas Zen Cart has addons that can completely change or add functionality specific to your needs. Plus, the community is very supportive.

A lot of the formatting happens here:
includes\templates\cherry_zen\common\tpl_header.php

and in:
includes\templates\cherry_zen\css\stylesheet.css

The learning curve gets compounded when working with a 3rd party template. It is somewhat more challenging to work with a template because there is a little less documentation, but as you see from my site, it is very configurable. If you're the kind of person that wants to really control the look and feel of everything, Zen Cart is great software. I admit it was frustrating to get it looking good. You may consider hiring a Zen Cart expert, there are many companies who specialize in it.

Hope this helps,
Tim

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

chachab,

The blue background is in:
\includes\templates\cherry_zen\css\stylesheet.css

Look for this line, close to the top:
background:#84A4C1; /* main site background color, blue default */

I changed the number to 555555, which is grey.

And some info on HTML colors, not sure if you need this:
http://www.w3schools.com/Html/html_colors.asp

Hope this helps,
Tim

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

paigesjewelry:

Hi -

Paige,
I'm far from an expert, but I've noticed that the experts won't always help, so I'll throw in my two bits. I've found Zen to have quite a steep learning curve. Particularly for those of us that don't write the code. However, with patience and lots of reading of the FAQs and the forum, it can be done.

  1. I need to get rid of the "powered by zen-cart" logo picture. I went into the template_default and deleted the logo.gif but that did not work.

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?category=4 also see this about the template over ride system.
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=143

  1. I don't know where the "Heading_Title" came from or how to get rid of it.

Try this https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=95

  1. I would like to make "Welcome to Paige's Jewelry & Fragrance. Your Wholesale Jewelry & Fragrance Source." bigger, centered, and in a different font but not sure where to do all this either.

That is in your \includes\templates\cherry_zen\css\stylesheet.css I use http://www.blumentals.net/rapidcss/ to edit the css. I'm not a coder either and this helps me a lot.

  1. I also would like to enter some additional text information below the header.
    Not sure how to address this.

I am VERY new at this coding stuff so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

paigesjewelry:

Hi -

Well I have installed the cherry zen template and I really like so far.....but I actually haven't gotten that far at all. I've been spinning my wheels for four days now. Reading through posts and monkeying around with the code. I am ready to give godaddy $50 a month for their shopping cart. :(

Please check my website; https://www.paigesjewelry.com. The issues I need help with are:

  1. I need to get rid of the "powered by zen-cart" logo picture. I went into the template_default and deleted the logo.gif but that did not work.

  2. I don't know where the "Heading_Title" came from or how to get rid of it.

  3. I would like to make "Welcome to Paige's Jewelry & Fragrance. Your Wholesale Jewelry & Fragrance Source." bigger, centered, and in a different font but not sure where to do all this either.

  4. I also would like to enter some additional text information below the header.

I am VERY new at this coding stuff so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Paige

  1. Did you read the readme.txt? Number 6 in the readme.txt explains how to change the logo.

  2. You deleted something from a language file you should not have.
    You probably made a mistake in this file:
    /includes/languages/english/index.php

I'm guessing you wanted to remove the "Congratulations" text, and instead of just removing the text, you removed the whole line. to make it blank, you need to change this:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');

To this (i.e., only remove the ACTUAL TEXT):

define('HEADING_TITLE', ''); 

My advice is to reload the original
/includes/languages/english/index.php

And put it in includes/languages/english/cherry_zen/

so that when you ever update the store, you changes will be saved in your cherry_zen/ folder.

  1. includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css

under #tagline:

#tagline {
font-size:1.1em;
text-align:center;
padding:25px 8px 35px;
}

  1. Lets get the other 3 settled first.

Hello,

First of all, I wanted to say thank you for this wonderful template.

Here is what I need help with. The search in the header, I need it to be an advanced search that follows this pattern.

keyword field/category pull down/manufactures pull down/ button

I tried to mess the with the advanced search in the side box (this is an add on), and use the code in my header but..... it only works on the main page. Any searches from other pages in my site doesn't work. I really hope someone can help me with this as I believe it's a major help to website visitors.

Thanks for your time Nicole

:blush: I am not sure if I posted this in the wrong forum, I haven't seen any replies yet. I have also found what I worked out trying to use the advanced search in the header is that it interferes with my cart.. I can not add anything to the cart.

  1. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me! Since I did not want a logo at all, I deleted the logo.gif from /includes/templates/cherryzen/images. This gave me the zencart logo. I then went to /includes/templates/template_default/images and deleted the logo.gif there. I still have "Powered by Zen Cart" sitting on the main page (https://www.paigesjewelry.com).
    Do I have to have a logo in order for that "Powered by Zen Cart" to go away?

  2. Thanks - that worked it is gone now. :)

  3. I was able to make the font larger but it does not "look" centered, even though it says it is centered in the stylesheet. Also, can I change the font of the tagline without changing the font anywhere else on the page? I wanted to make the tagline font Monotype Corsiva.

  4. entering the additional text.

Thanks again for your help!
