Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

The bottom of your index.php should look like this (this is blank):

} elseif ($category_depth == 'top') {
// This section deals with the "home" page at the top level with no options/products selected
/Replace this text with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'/
define('HEADING_TITLE', '');
} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {
// This section deals with displaying a subcategory
/Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'/
define('HEADING_TITLE', '');
}
?>

I followed this direction, still the same problem. When I turned on the Category on Main Menu, the welcome messages shows, but when I turned it off, the message will not show but instead this "HEADING_TITLE" will show. You can see it on my site now.

Can you please do step by step guideline on how to solve the problem, such as actual demonstration of it. I have played with the codes above, but nothing works.

thanks,

Isvara

Hi Jade,

I am trying to remove the border around my Featured Products, New Products and Monthly Specials. I also would like the background to be white and include an image to the left of the wording. I have a floral image that matches the image to the left of the Welcome to Sleepless Nights Online.
I have tried adding the following to my css with no luck. I have tried various combinations for the css but no luck. This worked on the old one but it was tables.

Any idea how I can do this with this one?

Thanks in advance,
Kelly

Your code works just fine, you just didn't erase my coding for centerboxheading. Search the file for other instances of .centerboxheading, erase mine, and then your will work. :smile:

If HEADING_TITLE is showing, that means there is a problem in the language file.
Around line 32 in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php, you need another like this:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Available Products');
if you want it blank, it should be this:

define('HEADING_TITLE', '');

My advice to you is to reload the original. Also, make sure you are changing the right file (are you changing the one inside your template folder, or the one inside english/)?

I deleted the one inside the english folder, using only from the template folder.

Sorry about that. My site is here.

I followed your earlier advice. I reload a fresh index.php file and that fixed the problem.
Thanks for your advice. You have been helpful. I'll send a donation as soon as I start making money on the site.
One question, how do I change the color of the product price on the main page. I can't seem to locate it on the css file.

thanks,

Isvara dasa.

Now can I see it with your flash logo changes? That way I can see why it may not be working?

Well, is not designed to be changed by default. You will need to make some changes in a few files. There is currently no style surrounding the price, so if you want to style it, you'll need to add a <div> around that section.

Open up

includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/new_products.php,
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/featured_products.php,
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/specials_index.php

Find this piece of code:

'</a><br />' . $products_price

change ONLY THAT to this (make sure you're replacing the exact code above):

'</a><br /><span class="indexPrice">' . $products_price . '</span>'

Then you'll be able to style it in the css like this:

.indexPrice {color:#990000;}

where in the css do I insert the code?

I'm looking to customize the bg image in the EZPages header. I'm editing the lines:

#navEZPagesTop {
background:url("../images/ezbg.gif") repeat-x;
text-align: right /* grey background image behind ezpages section */
}

in the file: /includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css but nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

how do you change the color of the rollovers for Home, Log in, etc? I created a new color in the images folder and updated the colors, however, the individual buttons aren't the correct color.

I cant seem to locate anything in stylesheet.css. Please HELP!!!

Those are the right lines. Could I see a site? What are you trying to change? What are you changing it to?

Did you see the BIG color section in the css? (very first section of the stylesheet.css)

Did you upload a whole folder of your colors? Did you change the folder name in the css?

It doesn't matter where.

One more question.

On the product listing page I am using columns (2) and was wondering how do I go about changing the arrangement of the listing.

Right now the image loads in first, the price, then add to the cart, then the title. I would like to put the title ABOVE the image or just below it above the price as where it is now it's confusing as it looks like it's part of the product below. I change what where?

Also how do I add in some space above the product image?

Thank you jettrue for your responses, but I think I will forget that Idea about flash and stay with my logo. Thank you anyway.

If you go to "configuration", "product listing", The number that you give the item determines its order. For example, right now you might have image as 1, price as 2, add to cart as 3, and title as 4. Change the numbers around, and it will change.

You can add space above the image with this:

.centerBoxContentsProducts {padding-top:10px;}

Yes, I see the BIG color section. I renamed the old "red" folder, and created my own new "red" folder with the bg images i like. I made sure they were the same size and same name. I uploaded the new "red" folder to the server at:
includes/templates/cherry_zen/images.

So i shouldnt have had to change anything in the CSS. The header image, and sidebox images are changed with no problem, just not the main nav buttons or rollovers. See https://www.chroniccaraudio.com/shop to see what i mean.

Cool, I had no idea that was how you went about changing things. A wonderful end to a totally rotten day. Thank you for your help.
