Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

tj4florida1:

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.

Hi,

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74819&highlight=Congratulations+remove

that will answer your question. There are many topics on this type "Congradulations remove" in the search bar and you will see many threads. :yes:

Hello there.

i really love the buttons on the top left of the template such as HOME / MY ACCOUNT etc. i have added one to that line called WiSHLiST but that button goes underneath the others. i guess it is a stylesheet element that needs changing but i have had no success so far. My new button has been added to be visible when logged on if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

:smile::smile:

Thanks cyptc. I removed the congratulations, but I con not find anything on how to remove the e-book banner in the center column using the search. Probally just not searching for the right thing. Any help on removing it would make my life a whole lot eaiser.

Hi,

Can you give your website address please? Also by ebook do you mean ezpages bar? admin>Tools>ezpages Look in there it might be what your looking for. These questions are not template related though and I suggest a new thread for them :)

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

All you need to do is adjust the width of taglineWrapper, and remove tagline's padding:

Change:

#taglineWrapper {
	width:75%;
	float:left;
	}

#tagline {
	font-size:1.0em;
                     font-weight:bold;
	text-align:center;
	padding:25px 8px 35px 8px;
	}

to:

#taglineWrapper {
	width:45%;
	float:left;
	}

#tagline {
	font-size:1.0em;
                     font-weight:bold;
	text-align:center;
	padding:25px 8px 35px 8px;
	}

You'll probably just need to increase the width of #navMain in the css. :smile:

Thanks! W00t!

Thanks, Jettrue that did the trick. I hope these are my last question for you guys. I would like to use a different shade of green. So how would I go about changing the predefined color of the buttons? And the Second question is how do I make my site w3c compliant. There is one error when I run my site against the w3c validator. You guys have been great. Thanks, for all the help.
Other than those questions everything is perfect with the Cherry Zen Template.:D

To use a different shade of green, you'd have to open the files in an image editor, and adjust the color, or ask me really really nice, LOL, to make some changes for you. Though I'm a little short for time at the moment, may take a while.

The error that is there really isn't an important one, it can be ignored. But if you really want it gone, open up includes/functions/extra_functions/search_field_header.php and change where it says:

$type = 'search'

to:

$type = 'text'

Now, people with Safari won't see the rounded search box at the top, but everyone else will still have the same rounded box.

First off thank you very much for the template!

When I view the one on your site there is a gray bar that separates the header from the main body with the Privacy link in it. Can you please tell me how to turn that on… without the separation between the two it doesn’t look right. Also, is there a way to change the gray color?

Thank you very much for your help!

That's the ezpages. Turn that on under "configuration", "EzPages settings"

You can upload a new image called:

includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/ezbg.gif

To replace the grey one.

Or if you want no image, and just want a background color there, in stylesheet.css, change this:

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

to this:

#navEZPagesTop {
	background:#000000;  /* grey background image behind ezpages section */
	}

of course replacing #000000 (black) with the color you want.

Thank you for the fast rsponse.

I do not have a "nav" setting there.... this is what I have.

Hi jettrue,

I would love to know why is that on this site (descreetlingerie . com) the template doesn't flow, being liquid. :dontgetit

Also why is my leftcolumn image repeating at the end (right side) of the template, eventhough I have a "no-repeat" statement.

This is the one that is repeating:

background:url("../images/headernav.jpg");

It doesn't have the no-repeat.

It looks liquid and flowing to me....

background:url("../images/headernav.jpg");
:oops:

It looks liquid and flowing to me....
Doesn't look narrow to you on high resolution? Maybe needs some % increment... what do you think? :unsure:

Hi,

Im receiving the following error when the checkout page is clicked, (this error is being received only when the cart is empty)

When the cart is full it works fine.

I have attached a pic so that it can be seen without having 2 become a member.

Help well appreciated.

Is there a way to completely remove the right sidebar? I have searched through the forums and through this thread. I may be searching for the wrong words, but I could not find anything. I would like to right sidebar gone so that any text, images, etc, displayed in the, what is currently the center column, will be displayed all the way to the right side of the table.

I tried changing the values for the right sidebar to 0px and that did not do it. Just wondering. Thanks.

I'm working on an online store using this template and after I installed and selected as my main I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_draw_search_field() in /home/content/a/r/a/arachne54/html/store/includes/templates/cherry_zen/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php on line 19

I would like to know how to solve this problem so I can use the template. I went to the file stated, but not sure what to add or remove.

Thanks in advance!
