Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

fbords:

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.

Actually they did change, as those are not the rollovers I created. However, it looks like you need to flip your rollover images, as you put the darker color (which is the hover), on top:

http://www.chroniccaraudio.com/shop/includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/red/tabrightE.gif

and in the ones I made the darker color goes on bottom:

http://www.cherryzen.jadetrue.com/includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/red/tabrightE.gif

The rollover and non-rollover are combined into one image, and the css is what causes it to "change" upon roll over. The bottom half of the image should be the same color as your header.gif, and the top half should be your rollover color. So you just need to do a little tweaking of tabRightE_last.gif, labrightE.gif, and tableft.gif actually isn't necessary, I need to just delete it in my next update.

I'm new to Zen Cart and am just getting my first one up and running. I ran into a problem where when I tried to use images for attribute selection, if I tried using 2 images per row, they would overlap each other.

I know now that I posted and asked for help in the wrong area, it should have been here, but I did find some help and got the problem resolved. It was suggested that I post here to let you know what it was. Here is the thread.

A couple of quick, I hope, questions. First, is there a global setting to NOT show the quantity box on the product page? I found a couple of settings that I thought should do it but they don't. The Add Button and "QTY" box still show up. I've found where to turn it off in each individual product pricing page but isn't there a global setting to do it?

Also, is there a way to move the "Add to Cart" button to the bottom of the product page, after all the attributes and etc?

Thanks

First question, as far as I know, you have to turn it off for each product, or comment out the section that causes the qty box if you know that NONE of your products will need it. That would be done in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_product_info_display.php

To move the add to cart, open up the same file, find the add to cart section (its all divided into nice sections, cut it and paste it where you want it! :smile:

Any help would be appreciated.
Those are the right lines. Could I see a site? What are you trying to change? What are you changing it to?
the site is https://www.chroniccaraudio.com/shop. I'm trying to update the gray bar behind the "Chronic Car Audio Home" link

Thanks for answering my other question it worked great. I just need help with this. If I change the above background:url("..images/ezbg.gif") repeat-x; to anything, there is no change. I even tried changing the line to background:url("..images/foo.gif") repeat-x; which obviously doesnt exist, and it appeared unchanged. I cant seem substitute anything for the default.

Thank you very much. I did manage to move the "add to cart" button using your instructions. Haven't manage to comment out the line to display the quantity box yet but I'll keep messing with it. Many thanks for your help.

Here's the section for the qty box commented out:

//   if ($products_qty_box_status == 0 or $products_quantity_order_max== 1) {
              // hide the quantity box and default to 1
              $the_button = '<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" />' . zen_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_IN_CART, BUTTON_IN_CART_ALT);
           // } else {
              // show the quantity box
 //   $the_button = PRODUCTS_ORDER_QTY_TEXT . '<input type="text" name="cart_quantity" value="' . (zen_get_buy_now_qty($_GET['products_id'])) . '" maxlength="6" size="4" /><br />' . zen_get_products_quantity_min_units_display((int)$_GET['products_id']) . '<br />' . zen_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_IN_CART, BUTTON_IN_CART_ALT);
            //}

You've got two stylesheets online. Delete the stylesheet_081007.css from the server.

Interesting. So, it checks for stylesheet*.css? It worked fine, thanks!

Hi everyone, I am new to everything. This is the first online store that I have tried to set up. I started with oscommerce (way to much to know) then I heard of zen. Easier and cleaner setup for me. Well I found the cherry zen template and love the way it looks. My site is going to be at ltdammo.com. I will be selling firearm ammunition. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help make a logo for me that is similar in size and quality to the cherry zen logo.. I would be willing to pay, or buy any software that I may need. Just don't know where to start. This forum has been great in helping me install the zen software, and the cherry zen template. Any help would really be appreciated.

Hello, I was woundering what files are using to make the roll over effect or how it was done? I would like to incorporate this into my existing site... Cool looking temp!

Thanks!

Hey Jade I just wanted you to know that I fixed the problem of my site changing font sizes at random times. The problem was with my languages/english/header.php file as somehow the beginning code was changed when my database was reloaded by the server from

jettrue:

It'll be a little complicated, but doable. You'll need to also increase the grey sidebox image as well to the width you want. You'll have to open the file in an image editing program, then re-size it and save it.

First you'll need to change the width of the sideboxes in the admin, under "Configuration", "Layout Settings". Make sure to change both sideboxes in both places.

Then in the css, this section contains the changes you'll need to make:

.outer {
padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div /
padding-right: 150px; / Our right column width */
}

.inner {
width: 100%;
}

.float-wrap {
float: left;
width: 97%;
margin-left: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
}

#content {
float: right;
margin-right: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value /
width: 100%;
line-height:1.6;
position: relative; / IE needs this */
}

.contentWrap{
padding: 5px 0 5px 5px;
}

#navColumnOne {
float: left;
position: relative; /* IE needs this */
}

#navColumnTwo {
float: right;
margin-right: -150px; /* This negative margin-right value is in this example the same as the right column width. /
position: relative; / IE needs this */
}

>

> You'll change the 150px to the width of your sideboxes. Let's say you choose 170px, then you'll need to also increase all of the 165px by 20px, to 185px.

> I *believe* that's all you'll need to do, let me know how it works out.
 
 
Just coming back with feedback for this. All advice given has worked :clap:
 
Thanks alot :)

Hi,

I have managed to edit the part below where you enter the company name and where it says sagefish, so it looks better, but ontop of all that there is a single link that says "home" which I would like removed from there. Any idea how?

Thanks

Oh and also any way I can align the header banner (Google) To the right of the template? How can I do that?

Thanks

Hi,
Sorry not the google banner but the one next to the logo.

You'll need to open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_header.php and remove this:

Hi,

Please look again, I recently removed it becasue it was looking too ugly and put it in h3, but I have added ti to h2 aswell now and woiuld like to vertically center it and horizontally align it. I have tried floating it and that does not work it just centers it below the logo.

Thanks

Hi everyone. I am trying to set up my first store. How do I remove the zen cart e-book from the center column. Also how do you remove the Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution. Simple terms would be best since I am quite new to zen.
