[Csenge]

Thanks gjh42, that sounds very complicated I dont think I could do it. But thanks anyway.

This would be one arrangement that could work:
(/includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php)

<?php
/**
 * Module Template - categories_tabs
 *
 * Template stub used to display categories-tabs output
 *
 * @package templateSystem

 */

  include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_CATEGORIES_TABS));
?>
<?php if (CATEGORIES_TABS_STATUS == '1' && sizeof($links_list) >= 1) { ?>
<div id="navCatTabsWrapper">
<div id="navCatTabs">
<ul>
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">';//line moved from tpl_header ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
<?php for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($links_list); $i<$n; $i++) { ?>
  <li><?php echo $links_list[$i];?></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {//section moved from tpl_header ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<?php
      } else {
        if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
<?php } }//end section moved from tpl_header ?>

</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>

Hello Glen,

I dont have the route you suggest, I have
/includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_categories (without background for sub-cats).tpl_categories.php
or
/includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php
Which one shuld I use or do I need to create the one that you suggest?
Thanks,

Csenge

Save the file in exactly the path I noted (adjust "your_template" to your actual template name). The one you describe is for the categories menu in the sidebar.

Hi gjh42,

thanks, now all the categories/headings i want are in one line except Contact Us. Is there any way you could add that. And then how can i disable the original Home/Contact Us/Log in line? Sorry to be a pain.

[gjh42]

The standard Zen Cart header nav does not have a contact us link. You could add a line like this (alter if you know something that needs to be different) inside the <ul> list in the position you want it:

    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US; ?></a></li>

You can delete the entire section
<!--bof-navigation display-->
...
<!--eof-navigation display-->
from tpl_header.php.

Is there anyway just to turn the header navigation bar off in the admin? You can do this for Categories etc - Does it pose a problem as a default setup as this is where the login menu is and therfore was not built to be turned off?

[gjh42]

This cannot be turned off in admin, as there are several links there that are not necessarily available anywhere else without customization.
