Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

I have filezilla, I will use that. Didn't know I could do that. Thanks

jkeifer:

I couldn't have said it better myself!:lol:

I really like notepad2 myself. It gives you line numbers and syntax highlighting, among other things, and handles big files better. Plus, it's free like notepad.

If you have an FTP client like CuteFtp or Filezilla (free), you can log into your web site, right click on your file and edit it directly. Remember to always backup your file though, just in case you screw something up beyond repair (been there, done that before).:wink:

Anyone know where I can find and edit this please :lookaroun

Thanks

Hi!

I have installed Cherry Zen and love it, but am wanting to hide the sideboxes on specific pages - some EzPages etc so the page looks more like a regular webpage without all the shopping cart boxes on the left/right.

Is this possible with the Cherry Zen Template and if so is there anything different in doing it, or should I ask in the regular forum?

Thanks
Ernie

any updated info on the search box thing with the new version of zen cart/

It should be the same as with any other template. There are ways of doing this, try searching, as well as asking in the forum. Good luck!

What does ezpages do anyway?

Sorry for the dumb question :blush:

I have three stores up and running with cherry_zen - Everything OK.

Set up 4th store, works fine in default (green classic) but enabling cherry_zen I get only the header, down to and NOT including the ezpage menu. Nothing else. I have upgraded to zen 1.3.8 BEFORE installing any mods or templates.

Again, 3 sites work fine, and 1 does not. The original install was from fantastico, with the upgrade to 1.3.8 from a download.

Any Help????

just wandering....

Is there anyway i could have the product description appear next to the product image? at the moment it displays the description below.

Take a look...

As you can see it looks a bit strange having large section of white space with no content.

Thanks

EzPages are an "EZ" way to make "Pages" for your site. These ezpages can then be shown in a sidebox, in the footer, or in the header. On my cherry zen site, the "Privacy Notice" and "Shared" are ez-pages.

The very last thing I see in the source of your page is this:

So that tells me there's probably something wrong with adsense, and its stopping the rest of the site from loading.

Yep, you can have it wherever you'd like it. :cool: Open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and move the description chunk (everything on this page is divided into neat little chunks) to right after this:

I have free shipping for all orders but want to be able to provide the option of insurance, does your other module do this.

Thanks

My insurance module allows people to click a check box if they want insurance. It's not perfect, but it works.

Can a surcharge be added if the box is ticked? I was initially going to use the flat rate (renamed to insurance) along side the free shipping module but I have been told that those 2 won't work together.

Come over to the support thread, and there is a description of what it does. Please ask further questions there:

The mod adds insurance with USPS rates, you can test it out here, and NO, I can't move it to any other page than the Step 2: Payment Information page.

ETA: If you decide to install it, notice that in my last post there, I've uploaded a new file with updated USPS rates and some fixes.

Wow! What a great template! Thanks for all that you have and continue to do on this. Everything has gone very well during installation...I just have one question regarding the shadow around the entire site. I want to make the shadow a bit "deeper"...or maybe the term is "wider" especially on the right and left sides. Can you give me a hint where to go?

By the way: the site is up and operational...if you want to take a peek at the changes I've made (mostly colors and backgrounds):

Any help you are able to give would be greatly appreciated.

PS - don't know if anyone's tried your template with the multi-site mod yet but it works great!

can anyone tell me which css attribute changes the colour of the top left search bar?

I cant seem to find it.

cheers!

Hi Jade and All:

I am using Cherry Zen and think it looks elegant and classy... but want o ask a design question ...

I wish to create the effect that the visitor is not being `dumped' into a shopping cart per se and also incorporate information pages before to edge them to buy. The information pages I am doing via EZPages.

To get the effect of a full website I was going to land the visitor on a `Welcome EZPage' with no sidebox columns.

So they would navigate via the Header Bar and Footer Bar if they wish to other Reference Pages. One of the Header Bar links would be Shop Now or something which would take them to the shopping carts `real' homepage - and bring back the sideboxes etc.

Does that make sense and would that be the most efficient way to go, I figured this way the look and feel wouldn't change as they go from the `regular' information website (EZPages) to the Shopping Cart.

It will be easy to remove sideboxes on the home page, since the home page has its own selector. The code below will remove sideboxes from the home:

#indexHomeBody #navColumnOne, #indexHomeBody #navColumnTwo {display:none;}
#indexHomeBody .float-wrap {margin:none!important;width:100%;}
#indexHomeBody .outer {padding:0;width:98%;margin:0 auto;}
#indexHomeBody #contentMainWrapper {background:#ffffff;}

Then you could JUST have text on your home page, that is defined in your "Define Pages Editor" in your admin.

I'll let you think about what you want to do from there, but the above is a quick way to remove all sideboxes from home.

That red top bar is an image, it is

includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/red/header.gif

You can't change the color with just css. You read the readme.txt though, right? There is more than one color option available.
