Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

I have decided to give my site a facelift, and CHerry Zen fits the bill. I am having some issues though.

1. IH2 breaks when I change the template to Cherry Zen. The hover doesn't work and in IE the whole site jumps down when you try and hover.
2. I already had the column display installed, but now instead of being centered they are smooshed over on the left side.
3. In FF the dropshadow on the main wrapper is out of line on the right hand side.
4. The search bar when activated in the header also shows in the sidebar (just the search box itself)

I don't have it activated right now because of the issues but will activate the template if anyone wants a look to help me iron out these issues. I have it also installed at CHTestshop but it only shows the dropshadow problem as IH2 is not installed there.

I wanted to display some my left boxes in the center column on the front page.

the effect I am trying to get is like this website:
http://www.christianbook.com/
where the side boxes are at the bottom of the center colum.

I got help with this in another thread. So no one needs bother, also my question about the advanced search header.. I found the mod -search categories in header- and moded it.

I now have search by
Catergory(drop down) Manufact.(dropdown) search text box {submit}

So if anyone else needs the moded file I'll share it, however.... I must say it's really FUN getting it like you want in CSS when you are as green as I am. Thx to those who did help.

You can view it at my test site:
www.2antioch.org/store It's in the development stage so there are no products... etc

I have fixed the IH2 problem :blush: I hadn't put the IH2 files into the Cherry Zen template of course...

I haven't figured out anything else though.

Try running that sql patch through your admin, under "tools", "Install sql patches"

**Hello Again Everyone

Thanks for the quick response to my plea for help.
It Worked "Try running that sql patch through your admin, under "tools", "Install sql patches" "

Now If I can figure out The Left and right boxes etc what lable really controls "Sponsers" etc.?

All in All I Think Zen-Cart Is Much Better than OSC Thanks to people like All Of You And A Very Special Thanks For This Great Template, I Plan on Using The Purple Buttons.

One more question how would I use an image background for the center colum or for the whole page for that matter I would like to use the purple buttons with a marbled pink??? background that I have used a long time on a site.

Thanks Again

Ive been tweeking the Cherry Zen today.
Great template
I want to show the customer name in the Shopping cart box or even better, in the Navigation Header to the left of the HOME button.
This is probably nothing to do with Cerry Zen template , but i cant find a tool or Config setting to sho the customers name any where acept in the Centre Column Body text.
Any one help please?
Cheers

Hello all,

Could some look at my product_info.php in IE? The info is not displaying to the right of the picture like it does in Firefox, Opera. It's driving me nuts! It looks messy this way. I tried to figure it out but I am so green, I just haven't gotten it yet.

I do have tabbed products pro installed but this was an issue before I installed that mod so I am thinking it's a prob. with my stylesheet. And my cart is the latest zen download.

TY

You can look at the example in the php file that gets that effect, then copy and paste it where you would like it to show. I am using the add on shopping cart in header and I have seen somewhere on these forums (prob. that thread) where you can show the customers name when logged in with the cart info. Maybe you could do a search for "shopping_cart_totals_in_header", then search that thread. Wish I could help more but I haven't implemented the feature you wanted yet. :D I am sure it's a pretty easy if this or that type statement.

Hi There Bob,

I think you can find a lot of sidebox text you want to change in includes/languages/cherry_zen/english.php.

TIP: Go to "Tools", "Developers Tool Kit" in your admin to search for text you'd like to change, it should tell you in what file it is located.

You'd add the image in includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/, and then open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/css and add the image to the body tag.

There isn't a config or setting for that, this would be a good question for the general forum, I'm sure it's been done before.

**Hello Again Everyone,

Thanks for the Great Help And Support You have given me.

I have two frustrating issues pleaging me now though I feel like the :frusty:

1. If I manage to use a background image file (Which I Really Want To Do) for the Center Colum my right side boxes background dissapears.

2. Centering The Logo in the header box.. I have read and re-read the read me or else, I am sure that it is just something I am missing.

Thanks Again

I love this template! I'm pretty new to Zen Cart but I'm catching on...I think.

I made a few changes to update Page 2 under More Information and then I went to check my site and now when I click on one of the categories that has a product in it (the first 2) I get a blank page. I can see the product info if I go directly to one of the new products and I can get the page that says "no products in this category" if I select any of the other categories, but I don't know what I did to get a blank page when I try the first 2 categories that have products in them.

my site is: http://www.e x p r e s s m e t a b o l i c s.c o m / z e n c a r t

I don't know what other information you would need to help me fix this...

Anyone?

Crooked_Halo:

1. When you open up a category, all the info and image in each individual box is only using the center third. How do I make it take up the whole thing?

2. The search bar when activated in the header also shows in the sidebar (just the search box itself) How do I delete that

I would really appreciate some help as I don't have any of these issues when I go back to the old template, so it must be something conflicting with the Cherry Zen template.

2. This is because you only have to turn on that sidebox on "single status", you've turned on the left status as well. Go back to "Tools", "layout boxes controller" and fix it there.

3. You need to reload these original files from my template, to the correct cherry_zen folder. This is not a problem with the template (it does not happen on my test site), but a problem that was created by not using all the right files.

includes/modules/cherry_zen/modules/product_listing.php
includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_columnar_display.php

IT wouldn't have been a change to page 2 that did that. It looks like either a file was corrupted when uploaded, or you have a space at the very beginning of a file.

I would first look at includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php

Or perhaps tpl_index_categories.php

Has anyone had a chance to go by and look at this issue for me?

Good Evening Folks

I have a live shop running under 1.3.8.a with full patches. I am using Jade's 1.5 version of Cherry Zen with some minor modifications to the color scheme but in all other respects Jade's original code.

I am getting reports that the login screen appears ok in Mozilla but is minus a header. In IE7 there is a header but the rest of the page is completely skewed. Please see the attached screen dump of an IE7 page, or see my login page here

Has anyone seen this problem or read about it in this or other areas of the forum?

Any pointers as to where to start looking for the problem would be appreciated

Thank you

I've looked at the files and I don't see any spaces at the beginning. I'm stuck here...I don't know which file is corrupt. How do I find out?

Found it! There were 2 blank lines below the ?> at the end of the english.php file.

Whew...I feel much better now!

Thanks for your help.
