Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi,

I was a user of simple_zen and now this new wonderful template. Thanks!

Im looking to decrease the size of the middle column and expand the left and right columns a little bit. How would I do that? I played around the .css but no success.

Thanks.

Hello Jettrue,

How do I insert Cross sell code into tpl_product_info_display.php, and where do I find the code? I have temporarily remove the template until this problem is solved. But I really like the Template.

My site is "www.touchstonemedia.com'

Your help is appreicated.

thanks,

Isvara dsa.

On the cross sell mod, look at the readme, it should give you the code to paste in to that file. Or if there is an example file, merge that with yours.:smile:

It'll be a little complicated, but doable. You'll need to also increase the grey sidebox image as well to the width you want. You'll have to open the file in an image editing program, then re-size it and save it.

First you'll need to change the width of the sideboxes in the admin, under "Configuration", "Layout Settings". Make sure to change both sideboxes in both places.

Then in the css, this section contains the changes you'll need to make:

.outer {
	padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
	padding-right: 150px; /* Our right column width */
	}
	
.inner {
	width: 100%;
	}

.float-wrap {
	float: left;
	width: 97%;
	margin-left: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
	}

#content {
	float: right;
	margin-right: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
	width: 100%;
	line-height:1.6;
	position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
	}

.contentWrap{
	padding: 5px 0 5px 5px;
	}
	
#navColumnOne { 
	float: left;
	position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
	}
	
#navColumnTwo {
	float: right; 
	margin-right: -150px; /* This negative margin-right value is in this example the same as the right column width. */
	position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
	}

You'll change the 150px to the width of your sideboxes. Let's say you choose 170px, then you'll need to also increase all of the 165px by 20px, to 185px.

I believe that's all you'll need to do, let me know how it works out.

Hello Jettrue,

How do I insert Cross sell code into tpl_product_info_display.php, and where do I find the code? I have temporarily remove the template until this problem is solved. But I really like the Template.

Yes, the code you need to paste is in your Cross Sell readme.txt.

If it were me, I would paste it after:

But you can put it where you'd like. The includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php is a nicely sectioned off file, so its easy to see where things begin and end.

hi, I'm kinda new to this and everything ( I just installed zen-cart today!) So anyway, I saw this template and I thought it might be easy to install. So I uploaded the includes folder to my webserver to overwrite the old includes folder, then I tried to install the SQL code that the readme said you had to install in order for the template to work, but when I click send I get this error:

1062 Duplicate entry 'PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE' for key 'unq_config_key_zen'
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Product Listing - Layout Style', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE', 'rows', 'Select the layout style:
Each product can be listed in its own row (rows option) or products can be listed in multiple columns per row (columns option)', '8', '40', NULL, now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array("rows", "columns"),');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

So now I'm stuck. Is there anything I'm not doing right? This is my very first time trying to install a template in zen-cart

Jettrue,

Thank you very much for your fruity templates. :clap::clap:

Perhaps you can help me with repositioning the comodo seal from the outer right side of the browser to the right side of the 2nd sidebox column. (see the red arrow in the attached image). I would like it to be in sync with the right side if the user changes the size of the browser window. I have tried this with padding-right % :no::frusty::no:

Thanks,

If it says duplicate listing, perhaps you already installed the column grid layout mod? If you go to "Configuration" "Product Listing", do you see this option:

Product Listing - Layout Style

Hmm, I would need to see a link to your site. Are you styling the css for the comodo seal with padding-right?

The site is under construction. I'll send you the url-link in PM. The comodo seal is currently on the outer right side of the browser window. ("standard place")

Thanks

Yea, It's there and when I click it the option for rows is selected, but there's an option for rows. should I select that?

Now I am able to get the cross sell to work.

Now the problem is how to get rid of duplicate products descriptions when you click on sub-categories product lisitings.

Thanks,

Isvara dasa.

You can use whichever you prefer, but in the template I made the columns style have some flair with dotted dividers between them. If you choose columns, the dividers will show up.

I'm not seeing this happen anywhere, can you point me to a specific page where this occurs?

Ok, well I selected the columns option, but when I went to install the SQL patch it still didn't work, and I don't see the cherry zen template on the list of templates

Just skip the SQL patch step. All the SQL patch does is install the column layout grid mod which you already have. So just keep following the rest of the installation steps. :smile: The SQL patch does not install the template. Have you uploaded all the files?

oh ok then :)

[EDIT]
When I go to the drop down menu to select cherry zen, it's not there.

I've updated the template to version 1.1, and below I will list the changes. I'm going to try to be diligent with this template, and post all changes so that you can keep your template updated without having to rewrite entire files.

The changes in version 1.1 include adding includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_modules_attributes.php

This just adds a clear after the attribute dropdown options, so that if you show attribute images they will start below the dropdowns instead of on the side of them. Simply upload this file to the correct location.

There are various small nit picky changes to stylesheet.css as well, and I'll list each change below:

Change:

.wrapperAttribsOptions {
	line-height:2em;
	width:200px;
	float:left;
	}

to:

.wrapperAttribsOptions {
	line-height:2em;
	width:auto;
	float:left;
	}

Add this directly below:

.wrapperAttribsOptions h4 {
	padding-right:15px;
	}

Change:

.sideBoxContent {
	font-size:1.1em;
	padding:5px 0;
	}

to:

.sideBoxContent {
	font-size:1.1em;
	padding:0;
	}

Change:

.sideBoxContent li {
	padding:.2em 0;
	}

to:

.sideBoxContent li {
	padding:0;
	}

Change:

#categoriesContent {
	text-align:left;
	padding-left:15px;
	}

to:

#categoriesContent, #documentcategoriesContent {
	text-align:left;
	padding-left:10px;
	}

That's IT! As I said, this is a very minor update, and only address some cosmetic issues. :smile: You can skip it if you like, LOL!

Then all of the files were not uploaded correctly. Check to make sure that the files are in your includes/folder.

public_html/includes/templates/cherry_zen
