Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

yup I just removed the text. here's the css for that.
#taglineWrapper {
width:75%;
float:left;
}

Here's the header:

<?php /** * @package languageDefines * @copyright Copyright 2003-2006 Zen Cart Development Team * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce * @license <http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt> GNU Public License V2.0 * @version $Id: header.php 2940 2006-02-02 04:29:05Z drbyte $ */ // 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', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce'); define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', ''); define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', ' '); define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', ' '); define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif'); // header Search Button/Box Search Button define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search'); define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Search'); ?>

Here's the logo css tag
#logo {
padding-left:15px;
text-align:center;

Thanks a bunch once again. This is killing me

I would like to add a Contact Us link to the navMain menu. However, the addition of another link forces the generation of a second line of text which then pushes the header down - Visually not so nice.

I reduced the font size of the navMain menu but the second line is generated nonetheless.

I could probably achieve the desired result by deactivating the search header but would prefer not to. The link to this customer site can be found here.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Try lowering the right side padding here in your stylesheet.css and if you have to, the width:

#navMain a span {
cursor:pointer;
display:block;
float:left;
padding:7px 15px 10px;
text-align:center;
width:90px;
}

I have copied your css to my template setup and the problem is not there. There was no editing of any .php file or any changed from another mod?

Yea I know. I re-installed a new, unmodified, copy and have the same problem. I am migrating to this template from the "Clean Business" template, which worked fine. I can't figure out what would be causing this. I thought mabe the ultra large logo. But the smaller "cherry" logo does the same. I put all the columns back to default and everythings the same. Re-uploaded the whole template again and left unmodified and was still having this problem. It does this on the "main_page=product_reviews_info" page as well. This is the only 2 I can find so far. What do these 2, and only these 2, have in common that I'm not picking up on?

Thanks
Jeremy

Well, this is a tough one, at least for me. A quick fix would be to turn the right side column off when you go to the shopping cart.

Do this in the includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_main.page.php

Look for:```
// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'account_history_info,login,shopping_cart,checkout_payment,checkout_confirmation,tracker,no_account,list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
$flag_disable_left = true;

add the code in red to that line and when they go to the shopping cart, it will shut off the left column and come back on if they continue to shop. 
I would need to see your php files in order for me to fix it. It has to be something wrong in one of your php files, but which one, I do not know as I am unable to duplicate it here, but I have verified your css is fine.

This doesn't change the cart page at all. both columns are still displayed. Both columns are displayed in the review page as well but differently now <http://www.bedsideplaythings.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=43283&reviews_id=2>
It's really kind of you to take all this time to help me. I really do appreciate it. Validating it it seems as though there's a couple of tables broken but I just can't pinpoint where exactly it is.

But of course...! Things always seem so obvious once someone else points it out :P

Thanks for taking the time to help me out!

I am using the cherry zen template on v1.3.8a. Everything is working great.

I changed the width of the side boxes per the readme_or_else.
After the change the left sideboxes dropped down. I am brand new at coding so I don't know where to look. Been searching the forums and haven't found anything.

Thanks
Bill

I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Put a link to your site so we can see what it looks like.

JT - thanks so much, you solved my problem! :)

Your welcome. Just so other's know, she had her column widths set to wide in the layout settings in the admin section.

Where can I turn of the right column? I will only be using left column side boxes.

I've changed my layout settings to;
Column right Status - Global = 0

I tested this in the Default Zen template and it worked great but not in Cherry Zen, there must be an override somewhere that I am not seeing.

The template looks like it is still leaving space for the right side boxes.

The template looks like it is still leaving space for the right side boxes.

Start by removing or commenting out these in the stylesheet.css file

background:url("../images/sidebox.gif") 100% 0 repeat-y; /* This is the right column background "faked" with an image. */
``` on line 64 and then remove or comment out this:

padding-right: 170px; /* Our right column width */

on line 195. This will get rid of the gray background on the right side and make the center larger to the right.

BTW: This is actually explained in the readme_or_else.txt file that comes with Cherry Zen

Is your store running 1.3.8, or 1.3.9? My store is running 1.3.8 I am a little hesitant on updating it.

Currently on 1.38a, but I have done several new installs of 1.39a and tested it on them. I have copied my Store to another server, including the database and upgraded it. I had to comb thru the code as I have a lot of mods installed and I didn't want to lose them. The database updated without any trouble. Cherry Zen worked fine there too. I have the luxury of running my own servers and I have several test installs on them.
Now that I did the upgrade on my store in a test environment, I can copy that one to the live store when I am ready to do it.

If you have added a lot of mods, other than templates, you will have to go thru the code using something like WinMerge or Beyond Compare.

Just remember, before starting BACKUP EVERYTHING, CODE & DATABASE

Good Luck :D

Hello.

I am using the new release of Zencart (1.39a) and am creating a site using the Cherry template.

One problem I have encountered is that as I create new categories/products they appear in both the left sidebox (which I want) but also in the top center of each page, spreading out sideways from the center (which I don't want).

How do I prevent that from happening?

Also, I want to remove the "Home" from the bottom of the page as I don't feel it serves much purpose.

I can't yet post a link to the site but if it becomes necessary I will do so tomorrow.

This is a terrific template by the way.

Thank you.
