Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

bekinky:

Oh dear - my layout works great in Firefox but looks terrible in IE. What can be wrong? I added code and styles so the cart appeared in the header on the right.

I will PM you with a URL to the test site if you want to see it in action

Absolutely.:smile:

Thanks for the quick response Jade. I managed to fix the problem after a lengthy phone call to a friend who understands Zencart.

Basically there were two things wrong:

1. I originally placed the extra cart wrapper on its own at the top of the template. Moving it inside the logowrapper solved the problem of the div putting a gap at the top of the page.

2. Adding width and height attributes to logowrapper fixed the problem of the tagline and the cartwrapper placement.

I will PM you with a URL so you can see the site based on your original template (thanks for that too - wonderful work)

Hi jettrue did you see my earlier post about the background in all side boxes. I want to change the color to something else instead of grey. How would I do that.
Thank you

The sidebox is controlled by the image sidebox.gif, in the cherry_zen/images folder. Change the color in the image, then re-upload.

Hello
I would like my Checkout link to redirect to the Shopping cart link if it is clicked when the cart is empty. Similar to earlier request...

lankeeyankee:

There isn't a checkout link in the classic template without going through the shopping cart so I can't compare, but is there a way to write a function like "if shopping cart contents=0 then checkout link redirects to homepage(or some other page), if shopping cart contents= >0 then link goes to checkout"? It seems as if having a link to checkout with nothing in the cart breaks the template. Perhaps a function could be written to only show the checkout link in the header if there are items in the cart?

If someone could point me in the direction of where the code should go then I would happily play with it (until I break it!).

Thanks

Is that page breaking when you click "checkout"? If so, you can just upload includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_time_out_default.php from the newest version.

To make the checkout the same as shopping cart, simply open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_header.php and change this:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>

to this:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
           <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>

I think that'll do it!

Hi,

I just installed the HideCategories mod on my ZC, which uses the Cherry Zen template. It works to hide the item (I made a Hidden Category, with 1 product in it) from searches and the "new items" listing, but in my Sidebox, the Hidden category is showing with 1 product in it. I tried all variations on the hidecategories setup to no avail, nothing I do seems to take this hidden category out of the sidebox even when I choose the totally hidden option.

If anyone can tell me what I must change to fix this, I'd be very very grateful!!!

Thanks,
Patrick

i am having some issues with this template and the define page 3 &4 . I have both of them turned on in the admin and have changed the names in the english.php. but they are not showing up on the site. Does anyone know what i can do,

Did you ask in the hideCategories thread? I can't see what in the template could be causing the sidebox issue.

I would start a new thread about this, but have you also turned on the "information" sidebox in "Tools", "Layout Boxes Controller"?

The sidebox is controlled by the image sidebox.gif, in the cherry_zen/images folder. Change the color in the image, then re-upload.

Thank you jettrue, that worked out perfect.

Thanks Jade,

Strangely, I was able to get it to work the proper way (item shows with direct link, but not in the sideboxes, searches, or in new items). But the workaround was strange. I had to first make the category hidden using HideCategories. Then turn the category off completely (giving a red icon). Then go into the category and manually turn on the 2 products in there (green icon). After that, and reloading the page, the category stopped showing up in the CherryZen sidebox and the items don't come up in searches or new products, but they still work for a direct link.

BTW, thanks again for your great contribution. Your template has greatly helped my site look very nice. Here it is:

Hi!

I just installed Cherry Zen and love it and have tried to search to see if anyone has this problem but....

I think I've installed IH correctly as well as Cherry Zen

So in effect rather than `hovering' it displays the image in the top left hand corner of the page!

The demo page is at http://thrivingstores.com/store_zen/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

Any ideas? Probably something stupid I've done!

It should load fine, but whenever your mouse goes near a thumbnail.....

Thanks
Ernie

Hi Jade,
Thanks for your reply.

No, it's not breaking. I just I think if checkout is selected when the cart is empty, then it is preferable to show an empty trolley rather than suggesting a timeout has occured and requesting the customer signin (when they may not have an account yet).
jettrue:

I gave that a try but it then it redirects to Shopping Cart in all instances, not just when the Cart is empty.

I'll keep looking and will post if I find anything.
Thanks again.

Upload all the files for IH2, specifically the jscript/ and css/ files for IH2.

The the code below. I may have messed up some syntax, so let me know if it doesn't work.

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>

<?php } else if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() == 0) { ?>

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>


<?php }?>

Thanks for the help, this is just what I wanted. I had to make a slight change to the code (a couple of <span>'s added by guesswork) so could you please check my changes for mistakes.

Looks good!

I am having some peculiar issues with my sidebox banners. I have two installed and each one is programmed differently and yet they both show the same details at the same time then dynamically they seem to change to the other detail.

sometimes they display different detail as I want them to be but everything seems to change dynamically.

How do I control the sidebox banners? Is there something in Cherry Zen that needs an adjustment or is this a ZC issue?

I hope my question is clear.

I apologize. This is not a Cherry Zen Issue. found my answers in the banners tutorial.

Carry on.
