How does one delete "HEADER_SALES_TEXT" from beneath the header?

Tried deleting several snippets -- only to lose the entire page. :)

Okay forgive the multiple posts (I still can't figure out how to edit existing posts).

I figured out the reason behind my shifting right column. It appears that my logo is causing this to happen. I tried setting the tagline to 0% but that doesn't seem to help. Is there a size limit on the logo? And why does it only break IE6. Any ideas on how to fix this (and the problem below) is much appreciated!!!!

P.S - What kind of dog dig you get Jade? I'm a huge animal lover!

Anyway, I got the new images to display, however when you roll over them they shift up. This is acceptable for IE7 and Firefox I suppose (though I'd prefer they didn't) but in IE6 it looks like crap. IE6 is also adding more red below which makes the tabs appear to be floating in the middle of red, which looks bad.

Thanks so much for all the help and patience!!!

Try this: Go to includes/languages/english/cherry_zen/header.php, and remove this text: Your logo could be wider here, Sales Header Text Could Be here, Or a Banner Image, or any combination of the three.

Thanks, SirenK. Unfortunately, that bit of code isn't there in that file.

LOL.

It's so frustrating! When I "view source" I can see exactly what needs changed -- but I can't find the correct file (the header sales text).

I also want to change the alt for the logo. It now reads "powered by zen cart --- blah, blah", but I can't find the right file in which to do it!

Well, I figured out the tpl_box_default issue. I just saved a version from the main zen cart program to the cherry zen folder.

BUT NOW THE IMAGE DOESN'T FIT THE SIDE BAR. Help!

SirenK:

Can someone tell me how to edit a previous post? I feel bad posting as I figure things out and then putting up a new post...

And I still can't seem to figure out the right column problem. If you look at this in IE7 and IE6, you can see how IE6 just wrecks everything (i wont even get into the fact that ie6 doesn't seem to like the fold out menu... sigh )

Thanks so much for all the help and patience!!!

If the rollovers look different, then you didn't create new images that are exactly like the old ones (but with different fonts). Make sure they are the same height/width/etc.

The IE issues are probably margins and padding for the fold out menu... I bet IE sees that section as too wide, so it wrecks everything.

Since you're using a fixed width site, change this section of your css:

#nw {
	width:990px; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
	max-width:990px; /* prevents the main content from getting wider than 1300px in sites other than IE */
	min-width:850px; /* 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 > 990? "990px" : d.clientWidth > 1048? "80%" : d.clientWidth < 1048? "800px" : "80%")); /* this prevents the site from getting smaller than 1000px or wider than 1300px in IE */
	}

to this:

#nw {
	width:990px; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
	}

I don't think the logo is the issue.

We adopted a stray, she is a Schnauzer/Poodle mix, she looks more schnauzer than poodle. Not curly at all. And she's much bigger than usual "Schnoodles" at about 46 lbs. I'll have to post a pic soon, or change my avatar. She's a great dog, estimated to be about 4 years old, spayed, housebroken, and crate trained. She's super sweet, and loves people. The only issues we have is that she and our 12 year old cat are still getting used to each other, and she's run away once (she's got a nose like a hound - but thankfully we have a collar with our phone number on it, and she's microchipped, and someone called us within 10 minutes). Now that makes 7 pets in our house... 3 fish, 2 aquatic turtles, 1 dog, 1 cat. If it were all up to me, I'd add a another dog, another cat, a bird, some sort of rodent, and even a pet snake. I love all animals, but each one takes some time to convince my hubby. :cool: And anyway, then I'd really have no time to myself. :smile:

In tpl_header.php, just remove the tagline section, if you're not going to use it.

Change this section:

h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading {
	background: #6b2b12;
	}

to this:

h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading {
	margin:0 0 50px 0;
	}

Jettrue, THANK YOU! This is a great template -- perfect for those of us just learning how to tweak code.

Jettrue, is there a way to use the cool photo frame and shadow you designed on the main index and on the category pages, too?

OK guys, question. I am using Cherry Zen, and google checkout wont show up. Please feel free to visit the site and try to buy the one item I have posted. You get through the checkout process (this is all just bare bones right now till I get the kinks worked out btw) and then it throws you back at the start. I've done no editing whatsoever except to add the google checkout stuff in. It worked earlier today, but I deleted everything off the server and started over because I felt like it was all such a mess. Now I am confused and can't figure out why the icons aren't showing up.. Any ideas? Please please help :)

Thanks!!

This would be a good question to ask in the google checkout thread. I don't think Cherry Zen would mess up google checkout.... I'm not familiar with google checkout enough to help.....

jettrue...any ideas on why my Random Reviews isn't working right? I found a spot to change the amount of "Random Reviews" shown...but it still only shows one review...and when I raise the amount up to 4 it will alternate between two reviews out of the 6 I have. I just want it to post a random review on the front page when I reload and not alternate between two of them.

Thanks, I will place my request in that thread. Btw, I LOVE me some Cherry Zen, you did an excellent job with it!! Thank you. Now, this has probably been answered, but do you do custom work?

There is just gray on the sides where the sideboxes should be. There are no sideboxes when i switch to cherry zen.

is there a file i'm missing? or i should change?
I'm using Mozilla by the way

When you change templates Zen-Cart turns all sideboxes to off by default. Just go to the Layout Boxes Controller to turn on the ones you want.

I just got my cart u a few days ago and got it just like I wanted it. Then tried it out in FireFox and Woops.. it went sideways.:oops:

This IE7 Looks Like I want It To

This Firefox Has content to right.

I have done searches and have read lots of threads but I simply have no idea what is going on.

Sorry jettrue, I missed your reply

Great template!

I need help finding how to adjust the padding/position of the background image for the top nav search box. The image is rounded-search-input-top.gif.

I am changing the height of the main nav bar and have re-aligned the text for the top menu tabs fine and I can move the input of the search just fine, but I can't seem to find where to adjust the padding of the background image itself. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
