Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hmmm... The more I look into this, the more it seems to be a Safari/MAC issue, although I'm PC. Either way it's the Final error and I'd love to get rid of it!

The error causes no site issues, it is ok to have it. It is type="search" so that in Safari it has the rounded search box. Change it to text, and it will be a square box in safari. Up to you. :smile:

You can change it in includes/functions/extra_functions/search_field_header.php

A square box it is! Anthing for the comforting warmth of validation :P

Thanks Jett!

Jade - How did you know which file it was? Or better yet, how could I have gleaned that information? When it comes to validation errors I think I'm going the long way around trying to track down the physical location the errors.

Thanks!

hi jettrue,

do you know how to add a shopping cart image and item count to the header? I put the code below in the tpl_header, but it doesn't show...

 
 
<li>My Cart: <span class="style1">
 <?php echo sizeof($_SESSION['cart']->get_products()); ?>  items  
  <?php $header_cart = $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());  
 echo $header_cart;
 ?>
</span>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</li>

thanks.

I am having problems with the Login Page. Background is the color of the body but most of all the Login and Register forms are all over to the right and expand beyond. I haven't made any changes.

I took a look at your demo page and when I clicked on the Login link your demo page does the same thing. Any ideas on how to fix this?

BTW: Excellent Template, your notations and instructions are superb! Thank YOU!

I knew because I designed the template, LOL. Also, you could have searched for search only in the developers tool kit.

Oh! LOL! I was trying to test something for someone, and forgot to remove the code:

#loginBody #navColumnOne, #loginBody #navColumnTwo {
	display:none;
}
#loginBody .contentWrap {
	background:#fff;
	clear:both;
}
#loginBody .outer {
	padding:0!important;
}
#loginBody .float-wrap {
	width:90%
}

Its at the bottom of stylesheet.css, just remove it.

You ROCK!  

I saw that code from checking the source code and in your instructions, I played around with it but to no avail.  Didn't want to remove it all...  Thanks man for the quick response to my query.  I commented out the code in the css and all is fine now.

Thanks again for the help and the great template!

hi jettrue,

i tested the code on the oem cz template and it works fine. i think what is happening is that it is being blocked by an image... it currently displays in the top left of the header (just under the top nav bar and right next to the cz logo).

how would i move the display? how can i position it to display on the right side of the header in the middle???

thanks!

Concerning the larger image link underneath the main image on the product page: If you take a gander at mine, you'll see that it is just a tad too far south. Can someone be so kind as to tell me how to bump it up a bit?

Hmmm... I just noticed that in IE the larger image text is just text, not a link. OK in FF

Thanks!

Ahhh...! Worse yet: Sidebox on left hand side is pushed down in FF. Now what did I do?! Must sleep...

Trying everything I can to install a template and I understand moving the file includes to the ftp but where?

Do I replace the current includes file under zencart or is the includes file just placed on the server as it's own file.

I have moved the cherry file to the templates and can get my site to look like the cherry template and that works to change the overall look but there are no sideboxes or anything. Directions say to move the entire includes file and that is is.

Where does this fill file goe exactly. This is my first attempt and I have looked all over for specific directions and don't see a thing.

Hope you can help a newbie!!!

Are you using the includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/tpl_main_product_image.php

I think you are not, because I see some comments for a "slimbox" mod. You'll need to merge the two files to fix your issue.

You've completely changed the way the template works, moving the leftbox section, adding <td>'s around the sideboxes, etc. Reload the original includes/templates/common/tpl_main_page.php.

If you see the cherry zen template, then you've probably done it right.

The files are in the correct zen cart structure. If you are using an FTP program to upload the files, and if you upload the entire includes/ folder to the root of your store, all the files will magically "GO" into their correct spots, filling in where they belong. However, you are not ENTIRELY replacing the current includes/ folder, as there are other files there besides the cherry_zen files.

You turn on the sideboxes in your admin, under "tools", "layout boxes controller".

hi jettrue,

i've manged to get the cart items to display in the header, but it pushes my centered logo to the left (which covers the images on the left)...

how to i get the logo to remain centered and still have the cart items (and a shopping cart image) display on the right?

i added this to the style sheet:

#ShoppingCart {
    float:right; 
    padding-right:25px;
    text-align:center;
    }

And this to the tpl_header.php:

      <!-- bof cart in header -->
      <div id="ShoppingCart" class="clearfix">      
      My Cart: <span class="style1">
      <?php echo sizeof($_SESSION['cart']->get_products()); ?>  items  
      <?php $header_cart = $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());  
      echo $header_cart;
      ?>
      </span>
      <br class="clearBoth" />
      </div>
      <!-- eof cart in header -->

and here is a link to the test site so you can see what is happening:

I'm trying to figure out what size to make the background image so the light blue is textured. Then my next problem is where to change the code or include the picutre. I have searched the forum but nothing seems to let me know what to do.

Here is my site http://artisticscrapdesigns.com/zencart/ also how do I change the url so it's just artisticscrapdesigns.com and not the zencart. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall for this?

How can I change the color of the background for the image pop up on cherry zen?

I have looked everywhere?

Thank you

nobody?

Hi Jade - I assume you meant tpl_modules_main_product_image.php. I merged the two, cleanly it seems, and reloaded the original includes/templates/common/tpl_main_page.php but can see no effect. It is still pulling drastically to the left, especially noticeable in FF as it throw the left sidebox out of whack.

I'll look back at changes I was working on prior to this issue to see if I can track it down. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

To answer my own question here, in this template it uses the default body background,so when you change the body background the pop up also changes... not good for what I need so I will have to change this.
