Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Regarding the site width of my new but not released site at createadesign.net/demo
In IE the site neatly fills the screen
on Firefox it is smaller than the screen width
Being a rank amateur, I am hesitant to play around with width's etc but would rather be guided by some-one who knows what they are doing.
Thanx in advance,

Got this one figured out. Home link is now showing and working.

Help with define_main_page. Status is set to 1 to show text. Edited in define_pages_editor and the text saved in the file both in default and in cherry zen folder. However, text is still not showing. Website is https://www.whitemountainbeads.com. Been through the forum repeatedly looking for suggestions and everything I have checked looks okay. Help!

I would have thought this was easy but I can not find any info on how to change the color of the sub category. I looked in my stylesheet.css but all I can find is this :

ody {
color:#000; /* main site font color*/
}
a:link {
color:#4f4f4f; /* main site links color /
text-decoration:none;
}
a:visited {
text-decoration:none; / color of links after customer has visited them /
color:#313131;
}
a:hover {
color:#000; / color when links are hovered over /
text-decoration:none;
}
h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading {
color:#fff; / right and left box heading color /
}
.leftBoxHeading a, .rightBoxHeading a {
color:#fff; / right and left box LINK heading color /
}
.leftBoxHeading a:hover, .rightBoxHeading a:hover {
color:#E8E9E9; / right and left box LINK heading color when hovered over*/
}
#navMain a span {
color:#fff; /* color of header links, HOME, LOGIN, MY ACCOUNT, etc. /
}
#navMain a:hover span {
color:#fff; / color of header links, HOME, LOGIN, MY ACCOUNT, etc. when hovered over /
}
#tagline {
color:#333; / tagline text color /
}
#productPrices {
color:#9F1C00; / color of price /
}
.productSpecialPrice, .productSalePrice, .productSpecialPriceSale, .productPriceDiscount, .alert {
color:#990000; / color of sale prices and alerts /
}
.messageStackWarning, .messageStackError {
color:#fff; / color of warning message text */
}
None of the above seems to be what I need to change. Is that correct?
So is it possible to have a Category : Oneida in teal and the sub categories in another color.
thanks

Checkout this thread and see if maybe it can help you.

Or checkout the CSS Flyout Menu. You can change the color of categories and subs to whatever you want it to be. I have this on my site.

I am looking into the flyout menu. The readme file is causing me to wonder what to do next. I unzipped the file copied the Includes to my server, and that is all it says to do. I can't find anything in my admin, so I guess a step is missing somewhere.

I know this thread is for Cherry Zen Template sorry.
You install it then go to tools/layout boxes to turn it on. Make sure you turn off the original sideboxes/categories.php. Go to the CSS Flyout css file and set it up like you want it to display.

:oops: Sorry. I thank you for the extra help. I know it will help many others who want to use that fly-out. It works great on my Cherry zen template with 1.3.9d

No nothing to be sorry about. Your site looks good.:D

Hi guys. We've been using CZ for a while now and love it. But there are a few things that are buggy that we need to fix. I've been using the search function here, but this thread is so long, and I'm not finding exactly what I'm looking for.... Here goes.

1 - I changed the background color of our Cherry Zen template to #666666. This caused a problem with the Estimate Shipping pop up window and is now hard to read. Is it possible to give this window its own color value?

2 - Changing this background color made the text in the footer hard to read. Is it possible to change the color of the text and text links in the footer, without changing colors elsewhere in the layout?

3 - The sidebox titles on the right side columns shift to the right in IE. I did see something about making sure the column widths are at 150 pixels, which they are, so thats not the problem.

Any advice is appreciated, please see the attached files for further examples...

I can answer your first problem real quick. Add this at the bottom of your stylesheet.css. I don't have time to answer the other question at this time. I will in a little while if I am back on tonight.

#popupShippingEstimator, #popupSearchHelp, #popupAdditionalImage, #popupImage, #popupCVVHelp, #popupCouponHelp, #popupAtrribsQuantityPricesHelp, #infoShoppingCart {
background-color: #ffffff;
background-image: none;
}

Glad it worked out for you.

2 - Changing this background color made the text in the footer hard to read. Is it possible to change the color of the text and text links in the footer, without changing colors elsewhere in the layout?Try this. Put this at the bottom of your css style-sheet
Change it to whatever color you want it to be.
#siteinfoLegal {
background:black;
color:white;
}
you can also add the following to fix the issue with links and your IP address block .

#siteinfoIP {
background:black;
color:white;
}

#siteinfoLegal a:link {
color:YOUR CHOICE OF COLOR HERE ;
}

Clear your browser cache then re-check it. Looks OK to me.

Microsoft has stop supporting the later browsers. IE5, IE6. I wouldn't worry about it to much because almost everyone has newer computers which comes with newer browsers or they are steel in the stone age.:no:
