Create A Homepage Using Banner Manager

[trickobrien]

I am attempting to create a similar look and feel to my Zen Cart as this site

http://www.suitsupply.com/shop/

I am using this thread as my starting point http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88083

I have disabled both left and right columns on the index,so centre box is full width.I have modified the All Business theme from Picaflor,so the main wrapper width is at the moment 1000px (but this may need to be adjusted)



My coding experience is- noob-so here we go

Here is my template as it stands at the minute-styling is not finished

Ignore the last post-didnt know how to attach an image,hopefully this is the right way

So what exactly isn't it doing that you want it to do ? Your images are really too small to see well.

[trickobrien]

Its white minimal so it will be difficult to see

First time using manage attachments

[stevesh]

I can see enough to get an idea of how it looks now. How exactly do you want it to be different ?

If you're asking about the center section with the category images, you could hard-code that into define_main_page.php.

Images would still be uploaded with Banner Manager?

[stevesh]

No. If it's the center section you're concerned with, it has nothing to do with banners. In Zencart, the term 'banner' refers to advertising spaces defined in specific areas on the site. If I understand what you want to accomplish, you could use HTML to code those images into define_main_page.php, using Admin - Tools - Define Pages Editor if you like.

So all done through HTML and in Admin?

that sounds like a winner

I have installed Zen 1.5.0 RC2

I will need to add a text editor- the HTML editor contributions are only compatible up to 1.3.8 or 1.3.9

Is there a general preference for any particular editor?
