Help with some PHP editing a new template (Picaflor)

[JohnnyScience]

Any idea why when I deleted some of the menu tabs out it added in those 3 HEADER_TITLE tabs? I can't seem to get them to disappear?

Per the instructions I edited the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/yorkshire_clean/headermenu.php file and just deleted the entire block of tab I didn't want and was left with this:

/*bof categories definitions*/
define('HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES','Shop');

/*bof information definitions*/
define('HEADER_TITLE_INFORMATION','Info');
define('TITLE_GENERAL','General Info');
define('TITLE_CUSTOMERS','Customers');
define('TITLE_NEWSLETTERS','Newsletters');

/*bof connect with us*/
define('TITLE_CONNECT','Connect');

/*bof contact us form definitions*/
define('HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US','Contact Us');
define('TITLE_CONTACT_US','Have a Question?');
define('TEXT_CONTACT_US','Your short message goes here.');

/*bof customer service*/
define('HEADER_TITLE_CUSTOMER_SERVICE','Service');
define('TITLE_SHIPPING','Shipping');
define('TEXT_SHIPPING_INFO','Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Etiam interdum feugiat ipsum vehicula sollicitudin. Integer sed lacus eget risus consectetur ullamcorper. Pellentesque rutrum ullamcorper faucibus. Nam porttitor iaculis enim, mattis tristique velit tristique bibendum. ');
define('TITLE_CONFIDENCE','Shop with Confidence');
define('TEXT_CONFIDENCE','Here you can write a few short sentencs about why your customers can buy with conficence from your store.  You might also want to outline your payment options here.');
define(PAYMENT_ICON,'payments.png');

This is what I took out:

/*bof quick links definitions*/
define('HEADER_TITLE_NEW_PRODUCTS','New Products');
define('HEADER_TITLE_ALL_PRODUCTS','All Products');
define('HEADER_TITLE_SPECIALS','Specials');
define('HEADER_TITLE_SEARCH','Search');
define('HEADER_TITLE_QUICK_LINKS','Quick Links');





/*bof manufacturers definitions*/
define('HEADER_TITLE_MANUFACTURERS','Brands');





/*bof information definitions*/
define('HEADER_TITLE_INFORMATION','Info');
define('TITLE_EZ_PAGES','Useful Links');
define('TITLE_GENERAL','General Info');
define('TITLE_CUSTOMERS','Customers');
define('TITLE_NEWSLETTERS','Newsletters');

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/yorkshire_clean/headermenu.php

This is just the language file with defines for what text is to be displayed

Look in your templates/yorkshire_clean area for a tpl file that builds to menu
or maybe
modules/yorkshire_clean

[JohnnyScience]

Hmm, I'm not sure where you mean exactly as I can't seem to find anything with a tpl extension?

Should I just be able to edit the navigation tabs through the admin section instead of having to edit code?

[JohnnyScience]

It's the tpl_mega_menu.php I have to edit, but not sure what exactly what to edit yet

[kobra]

It is tpl_mega_menu.php in the templates /common folder

Never remove the DEFINE and its CONSTANTS. If you DELETED the above, you need to put them back.

DEFINE statements are edited (not deleted), by simply removing/altering the VARIABLE TEXT in the second set of single quotes.

EG:
CORE VERSION : define('HEADER_TITLE_INFORMATION','Info');
EDIT VERSION : define('HEADER_TITLE_INFORMATION',''); (removes the text from the site)
ALTER TEXT: define('HEADER_TITLE_INFORMATION','More Information'); (CHANGES the text in the site)

Ok does it matter what order I put them back in?

I edited & deleted out a bunch of code pertaining to the tabs I wanted gone in the tpl.mega.menu.php file... that's still ok right?

Replace it with a fresh unedited copy

[JohnnyScience]

Ok what about editing the tpl.mega_menu.php that was ok right?

That's a different matter...

Generally, you should not DELETE any code. It is far better to COMMENT OUT code that you do not want to be used.

This requires a lot of CARE, because PHP in particular can fall over even if just one quote mark is wrong (or removed).

As you know, in HTML, the COMMENTING OUT takes the form of: <! -- (html code here) -->

In PHP, commenting out can take several forms, depending on WHAT you are commenting out.

Single line:

  if (!isset($_GET['main_page']) || !zen_not_null($_GET['main_page'])) $_GET['main_page'] = 'index'; 

preceed the line with //

 // if (!isset($_GET['main_page']) || !zen_not_null($_GET['main_page'])) $_GET['main_page'] = 'index'; 

Several lines:
/* code or
words here */

/*
I dont want these words to affect
the php in any way
so I enclose them in comments
 */
  require('includes/application_top.php');
