Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi I was hoping to find out if it is possible to change the side colour on cherry zen. In my case the standard blue to another colour code, and I simply can't find where to do this, and it is probably the easiest of things to do!
Thanks,

The gray sidebar background color is done with an image, you have to open up the image, and change the color.

includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/sidebox.gif

If you are talking about the site background color, that is in the includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css

body {
	background:#84A4C1; /* main site background color, blue default */
	}

Ok, does this happen on the classic template?

If it only happens in cherry zen, either you're missing a file, you've got a corrupt file, or you screwed something else up, LOL. But it does work fine on a default cherry zen install. Confirm all files are uploaded and in their correct spots, and confirm that there are no spaces at the very beginning of the files that you've edited.

Quote..it does only happen in Cherry Zen. I thought I had uploaded all the files to their correct location and I haven't edited anything yet...I uploaded all of the ..

cherry_zen_template_1-5\Cherry Zen 1.5\includes\templates\cherry_zen to the includes\templates files on my server.....I then uploaded all the other i.e language or modules to their respective files in includes\languages or includes\modules......I haven't had this issue with one other template, but I don't like the template and really like this one...I don't think I put anything in the wrong file, but I could try and re do it.

Actually...quick question....when I upload the new language files for example...do I want to leave them in their own cherry_zen folder or upload them to the main folder and overwrite the existing ones? I left them in their own folder if that helps.

Do you know how I can make the home page apear normal or alternatively point it to /store?

Hello!

Why is the left column not in left, but is in the mittle of the page?

.outer {

padding-right: 150px; / Our right column width */
}

Then, something on that shopping_cart page is messed up. Probably either an extra </div> or a missing </div> somewhere. A link to your site would help.

A link would be extremely helpful.

If something is wrong on only the HOME page, then you should look to what is different on the home page.

Check your home page text to make sure all the </div>'s are closed properly. Troubleshooting logic will tell you that if all other pages are fine, then find the differences.

Hi Jade,

Can you tell from the code why the footer does not match the header??? *The links in the footer are centered and home is above the green bar...

Header:

 
   * require code to show EZ-Pages list
   */
  include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('ezpages_bar_header.php'));
?>
<?php if (sizeof($var_linksList) >= 1) { ?>
<div id="navEZPagesTop">
   <div class="clearBoth"></div>
<!--bof-view cart and checkout now links-->   
<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
<div id="ezLinks">
<ul class="forward">
<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>
</ul>
</div>
<?php }?>
<!--eof-view cart and checkout now links-->
<?php for ($i=1, $n=sizeof($var_linksList); $i<=$n; $i++) {
  if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] or ($var_linksList[$i]['name'] != 'Logoff')) { //show Logoff only if logged in ?>
  <a href="<?php echo $var_linksList[$i]['link']; ?>"><?php echo $var_linksList[$i]['name']; ?></a><?php echo ($i < $n ? EZPAGES_SEPARATOR_HEADER : '') . "\n"; ?>
<?php  } // /if
 } // end FOR loop ?>
</div> 
<?php } ?>

Footer:

 
   * require code to show EZ-Pages list
   */
  include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('ezpages_bar_footer.php'));
?>
<?php if (sizeof($var_linksList) >= 1) { ?>
<div id="navEZPagesBot">
   <div class="clearBoth"></div>
<!--bof-view cart and checkout now links-->   
<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
<div id="ezLinks">
<ul class="forward">
<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>
</ul>
</div>
<?php }?>
<!--eof-view cart and checkout now links-->
<?php for ($i=1, $n=sizeof($var_linksList); $i<=$n; $i++) {
  if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] or ($var_linksList[$i]['name'] != 'Logoff')) { //show Logoff only if logged in ?>
  <a href="<?php echo $var_linksList[$i]['link']; ?>"><?php echo $var_linksList[$i]['name']; ?></a><?php echo ($i <= $n ? EZPAGES_SEPARATOR_FOOTER : '') . "\n"; ?>
<?php  } // /if
 } // end FOR loop ?>
</div> 
<?php } ?>

I need to see it in action, please post a link. All that code doesn't help me. :smile:

Ok, the home link in the footer area is not part of ezpages, while the home link in the header area seems to be part of ezpages. So create a home link in ezpages for the footer. Then you'll need to remove the home link in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php.

You can change this:

<!--bof-navigation display -->
<div id="navSuppWrapper">
<div id="navSupp">
<ul>
<li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
<?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
<li><?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php'); ?></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display -->

to this:

<!--bof-navigation display -->
<div id="navSuppWrapper">
<div id="navSupp">
<?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display -->

Then you'll need to make changes in the css to make the footer match the header.

ahhhh... ok thanks. that is much closer.

still the footer links are centered and the header links are on the left.

and when you add an item to the cart, the view cart | checkout now lines up correct in the header and is slightly below in the footer....

any tweaks for that???

Have you tried adjusting any of the stylesheet.css file for those sections? You can look at the source of the page to see what sections are involved.

well i tried to... i copied the #navEZPagesTop and made the #navEZPagesBot so they would look the same...

#navEZPagesTop {
 /*background-color:#9EAD48 /* background color behind ezpages section */
 background:url("../images/ezbg.gif") repeat-x;   grey background image behind ezpages section */
 }
 
#navEZPagesBot {
 /*background-color:#9EAD48 /* background color behind ezpages section */
 background:url("../images/ezbg.gif") repeat-x;   grey background image behind ezpages section */
 } 

and

 
#navEZPagesTop {
 font-weight:bold;
 width:100%;
 padding:7px 0;
 }
#navEZPagesTop a {
 padding:0 8px;
 }
 
#navEZPagesBot {
 font-weight:bold;
 width:100%;
 padding:7px 0;
 }
#navEZPagesBot a {
 padding:0 8px;
 } 

Hey,

I'm having problems viewing my webpage in IE7. The right sideboxes goes off the original body. This only happens in some Screen Size and also , when you "restore down the screen" . The site is getxboxcodes.com.

Thank you.
