Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Thank you for your reply. So what you are saying is , it;s nothing to worry about.
Well that sounds good to me. Thank you.
One more question and I'm finish. I don't know if this has anything to do with the cherry template or not.

Thank you again

I have absolutely no clue, sorry!

I downloaded this template for my website, it is simply amazing.
Very clean, I like everything about it.. except...

Could you tell me how to change the background from the blue color to a black color? The blue looks great, but black goes more with my theme of site.

Thanks!#@

Hoping for some help with a few problems!

I have the cherry_zen installed, which is really great. Not sure if my first problem specifically relates to the template or not though (???)

On the main page I have increased the image sizes to 200 x 160 for the new and featured products, but am unable to do the same for the specials via the admin panel. These images seem to be controlled by the small image width and height settings, but I can't change this as it changes the small images in the right & left columns as well. Please could you tell be how to change just the specials image size on the main page?

Also I have changed the layout to show product listings with the products side by side, which works fine for the listings in each category, but it also puts the specials page with the side by side layout. My new, featured and all products listings still use default listing each on under each other, and this is how I would like the special to be also. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou!

Does anyone know how to remove the bread crumbs on the home page only?

I found this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35491&highlight=breadcrumb
that gives instructions but I don't think that works with this template. any help would be appreciated

What version of zen cart are you using? All you have to do is turn it off in the admin, "Configuration", "Layout Settings", "Define Breadcrumb Status", change it to "off for home page only".

If you followed any of the instructions from that thread, undo it, that was for an older version of zen cart.

You're right, they are controlled by the small image, and I don't have a suggestion for changing that. However, if you'd like, I can post instructions for making the sideboxes wider.

Again, unfortunately, I don't have a good answer for this... either you need to make everything in rows, so that the specials is in rows, or have specials in columns. That's the way the mod I installed is designed.

That's done in stylesheet.css, for the body tag...

body {
background:#84A4C1; /* main site background color, blue default */
}

Thank you! I searched and searched the stylesheet but could not find it. I think I am slightly blind in one or more eyes. :blink:

Are you looking at the right stylesheet? This should be in includes/templates/chery_zen/css/stylesheet.css It ahould be a few lines down from the top of the file, not exactly sure which line.

Hi jettrue could you do me a favor and look at my site and tell me why or what you think it could be, about why it's not centered like it should be, and that the shadow around it is not right. I have been trying a while to figure this out. Thank you

Hi,
If you are using IE 5, 6 or 7 can you take a look at http://www.funfancydress.com, clsick on a category. The left column drops below the line of the center of the page...hard to explain, take a look and you will see what I mean, do you know why this is happenning?

Thanks
Pete
NB works fine in Firefox and safari

mediathing I have looked at your site and everything seems to work like it should. I don't see The left column drop below the line of the center of the page when you click on the category. I checked it with IE 7. Your site looks real good. No problems with what I checked out. Your HTML passes validation. Your W3C CSS validation has just one error.

152 Lexical error at line 152, column 63. Encountered: "?" (63), after : ""
Your 508 Passed Automated Verification, so I think you are ok.

It looks good to me. What browser are you using? If IE6, it shouldn't have shadows in IE6 due to lack of transparent support in IE6, if IE5, I don't support it....

Is this still happening to you? Just checked in IE7, and did not see this. Is it one specific category?

Hi again, I use firefox but I checked it in IE7 also. It looks the same way in both. It doesn't look that noticeable but you can tell it not exactly right. When I look at others then mine you can tell by the shadow on the right hand side around the top and the distance from one side to the other.

Yes, still happening. I am using IE 6...It's not just when you click on a category, it's any page, I don't know how to attach images to this forum so I can't show you a screen shot. But basically if the center section of the page is say 3"high, then the left column drop down so that the top of the column is in line with the bottom of the center content. I can email a screen shot if you want.

Thanks

I see nothing wrong....

I see it...the shadow at the top right corner of the main content is inset to the left too much. Also the site is off center (too much to the right) by about the same amount as the shadow is offset, so my guess is the the two problems are connected in some way. Have you change the width of your site?
