Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

mushtaq:

I have pasted it below the line <div id="logo">
but i don't see anything displayed.

I'm new to php and jscript so not sure about the exact syntax, do I need to call the script to start it off somehow?

No, since the script is part of the code you pasted, I don't think so. do you have the images uploaded where they need to be? In what folder do you have the images uploaded, and can I see a link?

I have been having issues with my shipping mod ever since I switched to this template. I am trying to figure out if it is something with the way the template was added, the way the whole setup is with zen cart or both. I know I didn't always have this problem though....well the problem:

I have both Fed Ex and USPS as options. When items are in shopping cart, the customer can view the calculator for both options, when checking out they are only given usps as an option and not all of the options show...only 3 of the 5... Here is when it gets worse...lets say you choose parcel; you go to check out and the cart puts express mail which is the most expensive. I am not given the option to change my shipping.....only to update my shipping address.

I finally have hits on my site and people creating accounts....now no one is buying anything and I finally know why....it has to be the shipping situation..it makes me look likke I am scamming...

Can someone please help me. Can someone see what I am doing wrong? Does anyone have a business that are experts in zen cart and can send me a link to their site?

I love this template and this cart....I see that no one else has this issue so it must be someting that i am doing wrong. It just confuses me how it shows some options on one page but not the other.:frusty:
Hmm, I'm not sure, you may want to ask in the general forum. It shouldn't be the template causing this, however, you can switch to the classic template to see if the same thing happens.

I have tested the script out on a test page which works, meaning the script works on its own.

I have put full paths to the images, I think it's just the placement of the script that I'm having problems with.

You can see the site here http://www.shishagenie.com

Probably something very simple, but I can't seem to find it :blush:

Also, I'm adding this to the readme.txt, if you'd like to do it this way instead (I think it may be more cross-browser compatible this way:

#indexHomeBody #contentMainWrapper, #indexHomeBody #contentMainWrapperb {background-image:none;}

Hi Jettrue,

Brilliant! Thank you so much for this code!

Perhaps you changed it, but I don't see full paths to the images, I just see this:

leftrightslide[0]='<a href="http://"><img src="blackberry.jpg" border=1></a>'
leftrightslide[1]='<a href="http://"><img src="rose.jpg" border=1></a>'
leftrightslide[2]='<a href="http://"><img src="mango.jpg" border=1></a>'
leftrightslide[3]='<a href="http://"><img src="Cherry.jpg" border=1></a>'
leftrightslide[4]='<a href="http://"><img src="mellon.jpg" border=1></a>'

That means the rose image would have to be here:
http://www.shishagenie.com/rose.jpg

I changed it to test a few things out, I expected to see a broken image icon, but the script seem to execute as I have placed start and end text which displays in the correct places, but not the images.

I copied and pasted the script on a test page <http://www.shishagenie.com/test.htm> which does seem to work ad shows broken image icons as expected, but it doesn't work on any of the zencart pages.

I even placed on its own on the define_main_page.php page, but it just shows the grey box.

Have you tried giving the full path to the image instead of the relative path?

for instance -

leftrightslide[4]='<a href="http://"><img src="[B]http://www.shishagenie.com/images/[/B]mellon.jpg" border=1></a>'

or wherever the image is located on the server with the full URL to the image.

I have done that before, but it didn't make any difference, I have changed it again now to include full path, but still no good :cry:

jettrue:

That's why the contact us is there, but you can remove it in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

Hi jettrue,

can you help me with this?im not sure which code to change or remove?

thanks alot

#indexHomeBody .outer {padding-right:0;padding-left:20px;}
#indexHomeBody #contentMainWrapper, #indexHomeBody #contentMainWrapperb {background-image:none;}

Hi Jade,

I'm trying the same thing for the product pages and the contact page.  The contact page works with this code and the center width increases on the right hand side:

#contactusBody #navColumnTwo, {display:none;}
#contactusBody .outer {padding-right:0px;padding-left:170px;}
#contactusBody #contentMainWrapper, #contactusBody #contentMainWrapperb {background-image:none;}

and although the grey background dissapears for the products pages I can't get the width of the products page to increase.

#productinfoBody #navColumnTwo, {display:none;}
#productinfoBody.outer {padding-right:0px;padding-left:170px;}
#productinfoBody #contentMainWrapper, #productinfoBody #contentMainWrapperb {background-image:none;}

Do you know how I could achieve this?

Many Thanks
Suekay

Mushtaq,

I have implemented that script in the header of a website that I broke something else in - it works fine when you give the image path the full path to where the actual image is.

Where I placed the code was in:
includes/templates/MY_TEMPLATE_FOLDER/common/tpl_header.php. Then I took the code and placed it right inside the div tag: <div id="taglineWrapper"> javascript code </div>

If you would like to see it working you can see it at: http://www.bk-clothing.com/store/

I hope you can get it figured out!

remove left/right columns on shopping cart page...

i used this code in the tpl_main_page to remove the left/right columns from the shopping cart page, but there is still a blank space the width of the columns on the page. how do i expand the center column to fill the page?

thanks

//add page names that you wantto disable left and right columns 
   $center_column_only = array('login','account',''checkout_success','checkout_shipping','checkout_payment','checkout_confirmation','shopping_cart'); 
   // the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags 
     if (in_array($current_page_base,$center_column_only) ) { 
          $flag_disable_right = true; 
          $flag_disable_left = true; 
     }

follow up to previous post. i found the answer... i created a css file for that page and removed the side column space.

now... my next question is how to display the cart contents table side by side with the shipping estimator box?

i guess i could do it with a table? but how would i do that with pure css?

thanks.

I have put the same paths as here <http://www.shishagenie.com/test.htm> this page works, but just having problems adding the script to the header, any ideas where about in the page it should be inserted? I have tried moving it around on various places but same result.:frusty:

You would place your javascript in the includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_header.php file.

You would then need to place the full script RIGHT after the tag <div id="taglineWrapper">. So it would look something like this:

<div id="taglineWrapper">
<script type="text/javascript">

The only thing is that you need to make sure your pictures are linked to the ACTUAL location of the picture.

Hopefully that will help some. I'll check back every once in a while to see if you have any other issues - hopefully this will answer it though.

}

I would remove that, and use css (from my new readme for 1.7):
If you want NO sideboxes on your home page, add this to your css:

#indexHomeBody #navColumnTwo, #indexHomeBody #navColumnOne {display:none;}
#indexHomeBody .outer {padding-right:0;padding-left:20px;}
#indexHomeBody #contentMainWrapper, #indexHomeBody #contentMainWrapperb {background-image:none;}

Of course changing #indexHomeBody to the page ID of the shopping cart page (#shoppingcartBody)

Hi Jade, I absolutely LOVE your template but I'm pulling my hair out about something...

My partner and I followed your instructions on how to remove the right column and then also how to widen the left column.

Everything looked wonderful and we customized the rest of the stylesheet to our heart's content. We were all done, or so it seemed, when we discovered a problem with the login page. The left column was gone and we can't seem, for the life of us, to get it back no matter what we try.

The only other mod we have installed is the Tabbed Products Pro and while it overwrote the tpl_product_info_display.php file, that should have no bearing on the login page, should it? At any rate, I replaced that file with yours from the template and it didn't change anything. There have been no other rewrites.

We reinstalled the original style sheet because we thought it must have been an error we made somewhere in the css. We even turned the right column back on and set the original column widths. Everything is as close to stock as I can get it. The only thing is our bg image for the columns is still in place, and obviously too wide (it's set for the width we will eventually have the left column)

Can you please take a look at the login page and let me know what the problem could be??

BTW, I switched to any other installed template and it works fine, with columns showing. Only Cherry Zen is not working.

In Firefox it looks bad, login section overlaps left column. In IE7 the content starts in the right column area and the left column and center are blank.

If this has been asked and answered already, my apologies. I have searched and searched but there's 177 pages to this thread and I can't read them all. I have 2 businesses and a family to care for so time is short.

Thanks in advance!

You can't do it with pure css, you'd need to add a div around each, use css to make them both 45% wide or so, and float them side by side. I think you'd need a div containing both of them as well. Then you could do it with pure css. :smile:

Yeah, the answers in the thread, maybe three or so pages back, but all you have to do is open the stylesheet and remove the last section starting with #loginBody it was a chunk of code I forgot to remove. :smile: As a future tip there's a search feature at the top of the thread so you can search in this thread only. :smile:

Thanks, Jade, I'll give that a try. I'm embarrassed to admit that I DID use the "search this thread" function but I guess I wasn't phrasing the search string correctly as none of the stuff it brought up was addressing the issue.
