Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Make sure you upload the image to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/ folder.
LJL is right but if you need a repeat you can do this to.

background:url("../images/whatever.jpg");

or

background:url("../images/whatever.jpg") repeat;

if it needs to repeat itself.

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Thanks

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi All,
I have replaced the old Cherry Zen logo in the header of my site http://www.indigosilvergems.com, the header looks OK in Firefox and IE7, but its looks rubbish in IE6. The right hand side of the site is all messed up.

I have tried all sorts of configurations in the stylesheet.

Anyone know of a Fix I can try??

Thanks:(

Since you're going with a fixed width site, make these changes, and see if that helps.

Change this:

#nw {
	width:900px; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
	max-width:900px; /* prevents the main content from getting wider than 1300px in sites other than IE */
	min-width:800px; /* this prevents the main content from getting smaller than 1000px in browsers OTHER THAN IE. You can make this as small as 800px, BUT any smaller than that, and the top header menu will break into two lines. Also, if you make this width 800px, you will need to make sure your product image on the product info page is no wider than 190px */
	}
	
/* IE only. Controls Width of Site and Main Content*/
* html #nw {
	width:expression((d=document.compatMode=="CSS1Compat" ? document.documentElement : document.body) && (d.clientWidth > 1300? "1300px" : d.clientWidth > 1048? "80%" : d.clientWidth < 1048? "1000px" : "80%")); /* this prevents the site from getting smaller than 1000px or wider than 1300px in IE */
	}
/* end IE only */
/* end site and main content width section */

to this:

#nw {
	width:880px; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
	}

/* end site and main content width section */

I have tried the changes as above, did not improve. I made these changes below and IE6 has improve still not right.

* html #nw {
	width:expression((d=document.compatMode=="CSS1Compat" ? document.documentElement : document.body) && (d.clientWidth > 1300? "900px" : d.clientWidth > 1048? "900px" : d.clientWidth < 1048? "900px" : "900px")); /* this prevents the site from getting smaller than 1000px or wider than 1300px in IE */
	}

Still have a problem down the right side the headings of search, information, languages, ect are out of alignment.

Any other suggestions please how I can sort this display problem out in IE6.

Thanks

add this to your stylesheet:

  • html #navColumnTwo {
    margin-right: -170px !important;
    }

and remove this (the below is only if you're using a flexible width site, you've switched to a fixed width):

  • html #nw {
    width:expression((d=document.compatMode=="CSS1Compat" ? document.documentElement : document.body) && (d.clientWidth > 1300? "900px" : d.clientWidth > 1048? "900px" : d.clientWidth < 1048? "900px" : "900px")); /* this prevents the site from getting smaller than 1000px or wider than 1300px in IE */
    }

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Regarding the background images...I have managed to get various images to show now...However, If you take a look at https://www.virginmedia.com, the white gaps down either side of the page is where I want the image to appear.

Not one image repeated, like a xmas tree. My intention is to have a single image that fills the whole white space, to theme the site for special days/releases etc.

Thanks for your help so far and I hope what I have written above makes sense.
Thanks
Pete

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

background:url("../images/whatever.jpg");When you use the code above the whole back ground behind your site will have the image. You will only be able to see it around your site. The white gaps you are talking about will be filled with that image. I do not know how to just fill the sides of your site with the image like you are talking about. Maybe jettrue can direct you.

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi, I'm a Newbie to coding but learning fast!

Have the basic problem of loading Cherry Zen.

I copied the "includes" folder of the template to the "includes" folder on my site. All it did was create an additional includes folder within the includes folder.

Do I take each element and upload it separately?

I'm a bit hestitant to try things as there's no undo after uploading. :)

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

If you haven't all ready you need to set up your custom folder over-ride. Next you need to upload the includes from the cherry zen template folder to your root on your server. Cherry zen template will not over ride anything. Your root will be where all the files are for zen cart on.

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Thank you, Country Charm.

I'm reading the manual at that part now and I'm totally confused.

Do I just make a custom folder? Do I make a custom directory for each element?

No, the custom folder is "cherry_zen" and they are already where they need to be, they just need to be uploaded.

Re: Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

I have increased the width of sidebox.gif to 170px to match the uncreased width of my left column but I wish to keep the right colum at 150px. My problem is that the grey background on the right is 20px larger than the the sidebox column.

What do I have to do to reduce the grey background by 20px on the right without affect the left column.

Sorry, you're talkin' to a dummy -- LOL. I can tweak blogger and wordpress, but Zencart is totally foreign to me right now.

I attempted to upload the "includes" file into the "includes" file on my site per an earlier post here, but it just created another "includes" file inside the original on Zencart.

Do I need to upload each individual file of Cherry Zen to the corresponding folder on Zencart?
