Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

moggi1964:

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.

I can tell you that the top center appearances are Not Cherry Zen, but Zen-Cart. Go to your admin page, Layout Settings. About 5th from the Bottom, Category Tabs Menu - Turn this off.

The other I'll figure out but dinner is on the table.

Dinner comes first so no rush (though if you hang around for a protracted desert i might have something to say :P ).

Thanks for that first piece. Don't spend too much time on the latter if you don't have a solution in mind; it's a nice to have not a need to have.

OK, I was right about it being in tpl_footer.php, but Cherry Zen has it's own tpl_footer.php in cherry_zen/common

Also, if Ezpages are turned on, that will have it as well. So 3 places to look

/includes/templates/template_default/common
/includes/templates/cherry_zen/common
admin layout pages - ezpages

:shocking:

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

It may take me a while to figure this out.

Err, which piece of code was it that I needed to un-comment?

Thanks.

It was remove or comment out.
In Cherry-Zen and template_default, this line appears at or around line 30 in the includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_footer.php
and includes/templates/template_deafult/common/tpl_footer.php

<?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

Thank you.

Hi,

I am using 1.3.9 and would like to install this great template. I am a bit unclear. If I copy the "includes" folder to my website under the Zen Cart "includes" folder, it creates an "includes" sub-directory below the "includes".

Is that correct and, if so, does that allow me to upgrade Zen Cart in the future without disturbing this template and changes I make to it? (eg: does it follow the Override System?)

Or, do I need to create sub-directories as I have when adding templates to other sites, looking for all the "template_default" and "classic" sub-directories and then place each file in the appropriate place?

It appears the former, because the instructions say that no files are overwritten as I am using 1.3.9, but I want to be sure.

Thank you for this fine contribution :smile:

Thanks for the template, I love it!

The way I have done this is to just FTP the new templates include folder to the store folder (same folder that includes on the store is in, not under it) and tell it to merge the folders. You do NOT create an includes under the includes, what is inside the template includes goes into the original includes folder.

On windows, I just copied the folder on top of the includes folder and it just merged the folders and files.

JUST REMEMBER. ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE ADDING ANY MODIFICATIONS!

Hi,

I would like to replace the 4 dots that show between list items on the EZ Page navigation, but have not been able to find that code or any css that controls them.

Does anyone know where I could go to change them to something else?

Thanks, Klaus

Admin page, configuration, Ezpages Settings
header and footer link seperator.

Thanks VERY much, JT! (I feel kinda dumb - never looked there)

I apologize if I miised this in my search. Is there a plan to update this template for 1.3.9x, or is the winmerge path the only solution?

Thanks

Found the problem to the column issue I was having. For some reason Line breaks in the product descriptions were causing the side columns to creep over into the middle of the page.

I know this should be straight forward... but I cannot figure it out.
I have background #CDFE72 main area white and trying to get sideboxes #FFFF99. Bellow gives sideboxes light blue.
How do I change the colour of sideboxes???

body {
	background:#CDFE72; /* main site background color, blue default  */
#contentMainWrapper {
	background:url("../images/sidebox.gif") 100% 0 repeat-y; /* This is the right column background "faked" with an image. -- WOULD LIKE #FFFF99 */
	background-color:#FFF; /*background color for the main "content" of the site ;  */
	}

#contentMainWrapperb {
	background: url("../images/sidebox.gif") 0 0 repeat-y; /* This is the left column background "faked" with an image. -- WOULD LIKE #FFFF99*/
	}

}

Try removing the background: url( gif's and put just your background-color.

I just upgraded to the latest version of zen cart (v1.3.9b) and now my product detail pages background disappears in firefox, but when I view the same page in IE its fine. Is anyone else having the same problem? Is there a way to fix this?

check out the problem here:

Any help greatly appreciated
