Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

I followed the instructions for making my site as narrow as 800px and it doesn't seem to have kicked in? (I also only want to use left sideboxes globally and followed the instructions for that as well.) I have two issues: the site is still wide... and I have an "other products" link that is getting pushed out to the side on this page.

Can you help at all? Thanks.

Hi,

Is there an easy way to change it so that if the visitor is not logged in, My Account only shows the log in box, not the create account fields as well? (I'm using the split login page).

I'd like this effect:

When the visitor checks out, he sees the normal functionality: the page shows both a login box (for returning customers) and create account fields (for new customers).

But if the visitor clicks on My Account:
If he is logged in, he sees his account information
If he is not logged in, he sees only a login box only (no create account fields).

Is this easy to do?

Thanks, Susie

how can I add a "detail" button to featured products on front page

Jettrue,

Can one use larger pictures on the front page without breaking the template?

In your opinion, what is the best size to upload for "large", "medium" and "small" pictures?

I'm trying to revamp for a faster load.

I think I fixed this by putting in

.outer {
padding-right: 170px /* Our right column width */
}

I must have removed it in the first place accidentally?

Hi

I hope you can help. I am missing come columns!

I have installed the template following the instructions, but the far left and far right columns do not display.

The online shop is located at

http://shop.floralsymphonies.co.uk

I copied the contents of the folders:

functions
languages
modules
templates

Into the folder

/includes

I have also installed the SQL script supplied.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I seem to have done everything correctly, but… maybe not!

Best wishes

Marc

You surely MUST read the readme_or_else.txt file in the zip file. You need to follow the instructions line by line!

To start with - go in the admin, Tools~Layoutboxes Controller
Click the button that says "reset"

This will set up the default sidebox layout. Now you need to go back and READ the instructions to set up the search box and stuff.

Hi Jade,

I have read the read me and I'm still confused I've been searching the support forum and can't seem to find my answer.

I want to add a banner in the Sales Text. I inserted 'templatebanner.gif' in the Sales Text area. Is that correct. When I uploaded the file all I saw was the text templatebanner.gif instead of the actual image. Can you please explain what I'm doing wrong.

Thanking you in advance.

I want a background image behind the left sidebar.

When I put an image in the code below -- it goes all the way across the main content section.

#contentMainWrapperb {
background:#ffffe6; /* This is the left column background "faked" with an image. */
}

Boggled:

I have another quick question if you don't mind.

I want to add a border to the images (new products, featured, etc.), but every time I do it in the a img section of the css file, it puts a border around every image I have that's a link.

Is there a way to define which images I do or don't want borders around? I tried using various combinations of what I thought it should be called, but they didn't work.

I'm hoping this is just another one of my 'duh' that was so simple, why couldn't I see it type things. :smile:

Thanks!

I asked the above question earlier, but you had a bazillion questions at the time and it may have gotten overlooked. :)

I've searched the forum and still can't find how to do this. Maybe I'm not using the correct search terms.

Thank you for your help and this fantastic template!

Lovely,

This is what I am using:

#contentMainWrapperb {
background: url("../images/sidebox.png") 0 0 repeat-y; #f2f2f2
}

sidebox.png is the same width as as my left column.

Hello. I followed your instructions to the letter in the READ ME OR ELSE file on how to adapt Chery Zen to a two column format but seem to have lost the ability to change the color of my content page as it now is the same color as the background. I removed the right column and when I put it back the color I had chosen for the center column returned but then disappeared when the column was taken out.

What in the world did I do wrong?

:(
Could someone explain to me what i could have done wrong with the footer.. i had a customer purchase one of my predesigned templates and i have had a go at customizing it to the cherry zen template but the footer is not showing up..

one other thing is the i am having trouble getting the layout boxes to show up..

I have read tutorials etc but i am still at a loss as to what is happening with the footer and boxes..

Her site is http://www.mamaparadise.com/

it may not show up as she is transferring info to this new site from an old host..

My store - https://www.newoldsounds.com

It works perfectly in Firefox on two of my PCs (both 1024x768 resolution) . In IE6 the navigation bar is about 20px taller...In IE7, the background behind the box titles, behind the text Categories and Information, the background doesn't go all the way across the box, and the credit card image in the upper right is cut off.

Mac - On Firefox and Safari on my mac (1024x768 resolution) the categories box displays below the images. This is a major issue! I've tried narrowing everything a bit to make it all fit, but no luck.

Any comments on the overall appearance/layout are welcome too.

I really appreciate the kind help this community provides, and I thank everyone in advance for their help.

I fixed the credit card logos being cut off by adding padding to the <div> tag that I put them in. In Firefox they are a little further left than they are in Explorer and Google Chrome, but there's room between there and the logo.

<div id="creditcards" class="creditcards" style="padding-right: 30px;"> <img src="images/cclogo.gif" align="right" />

Still working on the categories box being at the bottom on all Mac browsers. I tossed up a temporary maintenance message, but you can browse to index.php and Zen Cart comes up.

Hello all ,

Im trying to finalize the design on a shop , thought I just about had it but Safari and chrome are foxing my attempts to sort it out.

I have just 3 Top level categories and these are set to appear on the Top Nav Cat Bar , and looks ok ish in IE and FF but in chrome and safari the first category ( industrial ) appears at the top of the page out of sync with the whole site.

Now its pretty heavily modded version of the cherry zen but if anyone has a clue why its not right in some browsers I would welcome the help. the site is not ready for spidering yet so i have seperated the URL :

www. affixit .co .uk

appreciate any pointers.

Just checked your site newoldsounds.com on Chrome too , the categories box appears to the right of your whole site and makes the site unuseable . looks like the issues are simmilar
look forward to a hint on where to start on these.

I think we are suffering from a related or maybe even the same problem. I really don't know where to start, I might try throwing a <br> after my nav bar to see if that sends the rest of the store back where it belongs.
