Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

your issues :

1. Search engines wont index your site :

This is not template specific , and should maybe directed in a different thread , but to give you a heads up , indexing on dynamic sites takes alot longer , get yourself a google account and use webmaster tools , you can submit an xml sitemap to them , plus you have the option of removing pages from the index.

my webstore is http://hiquatec.com and i'm using the cherry zen template and i love it except for one thing, the categories. Is there a way to upgrade the look of the categories to something like the drop for apple zen?

You can install the CSS drop menu found in the Downloads/Other Modules section (see my signature), which is the exact menu from apple zen, or if you want categories across the menu that drop down to subcategories, download the "Paul's Version", right below it.

I like your template very much.
I'd like to know how to remove product description from the product listing. I'd also like to change the product price color and font size. I am very new in this code. Please tell me exactly where I have to adjust.
Here is my site http://www.omegagolfshop.com//index.php?main_page=index&cPath=72&sort=20a&page=2

Many thanks!

Product Description for Listing: That is in the admin, under "configuration", "Product Listing".

For the listing price, you can add something like this (the color below is a deep red that matches the default color of the sidebox headers) to the stylesheet.css file. (includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css)

.listingPrice {color:#A92D16;font-weight:bold;font-size:120%}

CherryZen is a wonderful template. Its just that making it what you want may become difficult. I made some changes to the template relating to the image/logo, the top nav menu, its alignment, and a few other changes – which obviously you may or may not like. But ... as the template is free, I am ready to provide you with the css and some changed files from my site if you want.

I have made side boxes / column width 180px instead of standard 150. Had to deviate from the documentation for my top image to fit properly as the instructions did not exactly work for me. Specially, the site looked stupid in IE6. IE7 and Firefox are fine. So I removed some of the code for IE. Its now working fine.

Installed IH2 as per instructions, enlarged the Logo image to fit screen size of 1000px fixed, Navigation top menu has same bg/color and larger font, bg image has been adjusted to fit sideboxes, Product info display has been changed; also removed model/stock and weight.

I have a couple of problems though.

1. The search engines wont index the site
2. If you go to google and search for ‘bollywoodlollywood.ca’, you will find a link (were a lot of such links) that seem like a hack of some kind. I have removed all such pages/links from the folders, but they are still showing up in google. I have attached it below for reference.

Any help will be appreciated. Your feedback is most welcome.

I agree with the above post, you should post this in the general forum. Those numbers and letters look like the code for the zenID, which suggests that you may need to change some settings in "Configuration", "sessions", specifically the "prevent spider sessions" should be set to TRUE. But again, this is not my area of expertise, so I suggest asking again in the general forum.

Hi all. This is my first post and I can't seem to find the answer to any of my questions. Hopefully I'm not missing something!

Has Cherry Zen been tested with Safari 3.1.1? I've installed everything and it seems to be working...With the exception of one pretty annoying thing:

At the top of my page above my header it says this:

Mac OS X °âATTR;šÉÿâ˜&˜&com.apple.quarantine0000;485ac08c;Safari;|com.apple.SafariThis resource fork intentionally left blank ÿÿMac OS X 2°âATTR;šÉÿâ˜&˜&com.apple.quarantine0000;485ac08c;Safari;|com.apple.SafariThis resource fork intentionally left blank ÿÿ

I also tested the site using Firefox on my laptop and basically receive the same thing.

Any ideas? Thanks much.

Hi!

I'm sure it's been answered before but I can't find it :shocking:

I have my logo and banner and jetween them and the top of the EZPages bar is white space - hoe do I make it so the logo/banner has no white space between it and the EZ Pages bar?

I thought it was padding somewhere and I tried changing a few but no luck.

Where in the CSS file should I be looking!

Thanks
Ernie

I answered my own question and thought I'd post the response here. From what I understand, you cannot use Safari 3.1.1 to upload to a Linux server. Hence why I was seeing the same error message from my PC. :)

Site Address please?

Congrats and the nice looking template jettrue, as well as the overwhelming amount of support you give!

I tried to read through before posting, but could only get so far ;)

My question is - I dont use sideboxes. I used the admin to turn them all off and to zero pixels, but the grey image is still there. Any help removing that so my pages will be the full width of the template?

I installed the CSS dropdown header. How can I stop it widening the entire site?

Please read the readme.txt, there are instructions for that there. :smile: Plus lots of other good info. Anyway, its #4 in the TIPS section.

Well, its going to need to be a certain width for everything to fit, but my css drop down header mod should not widen cherry zen, since cherry zen is pretty wide. Could I see a link please?

http://hiquatec.com also the home and login link in the top right looks funny

sorry to keep bothering you. I also keep getting an "error on page".

Thank you Jade. I will try it now.

you might not get to see it yet I think I did too my updates today and knocked the server off-line (ipower) oh boy. it should be back up in a few.

I have change the EZPages Bar from Grey, I have also centered the text but I cannot get the text color to change.

can someone please direct me in changing the text color in the ezpagenav bar.

http://hiquatec.com also the home and login link in the top right looks funny

It's not because of the menu, its because you removed the divs for the drop shadow from includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/common/tpl_header.php:

<!-- divs for drop shadow -->
<div id="nw"><div id="ne"><div id="se"><div id="sw"><div id="n"><div id="s"><div id="w"><div id="e"><div id="main"><table id="workaround"><tbody><tr><td>

If you don't want the drop shadow, then you also have to remove the closing sections of the above:

<!--closting divs for drop shadow -->
</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

The login link looks funny because you have this:

  <!--<li><a href="http://hiquatec.com/">Home</a></li>
                  <!--><a href="http://hiquatec.com/index.php?main_page=login">Log In</a>
                  -->      

If you want the home link hidden, you should have this:

    
<!--<li><a href="http://hiquatec.com/">Home</a></li>-->
<a href="http://hiquatec.com/index.php?main_page=login">Log In</a>
