    Default Need help top of page on new site

    I'm starting a new website to sell hardwood walking canes. I've got the bare bones zen cart setup at:

    www.hardwoodcanes.com

    I'd like to do a few things to the site.

    1: I want to remove everything above the header that says "HARDWOOD CANES" I made, including the green tool bar, home, and login. I'd like home and login to show up below the header.

    2. Also, I want a background of a single solid color. There is no web safe color that will work for me though, so I guess I'll just take a 1px x 800px image of the colored background, and repeat it for infinity to the bottom. I guess that's a start, so I'll end it there.


    Also, if anybody notices any security related issues, please let me know as well.

    Thank you!

    for your first question all you need to do is move that section in
    Your tpl_header.php this file is in

    includes/templates/your template/common


    if it is not there then go to

    includes/templates/template_default/common

    and grab it
    once you make the changes you want to put in

    includes/templates/your template/common

    you want to take all the code between
    <!--bofnavigation display-->
    and
    <!--eof-navigation display-->
    move this so its after
    <!--eof-branding display-->


    as for your second question all you need to do is change the color to the color you want in your css file.

    hope this helps

    First part worked like a charm! Thank you.

    For the second part, do I have to use a web safe color hex entry, or can I use another color. the closest color that will work for me is not even close to what I wan. I want a dark tan color for the background. How do I set a custom RGB color for the background?

    you can use
    background-color: rgb(255,255,255);

    and specify any color you wish, you can also use hex codes if you have them handy

    background-color: #ffffff;

    Awesome! Worked great. Now if I can get that little border around the header to go away. I'm sure somebody posted the same thing. I'll look around.

    But now I have 2 other things I want to do.

    On my header, I have what are suppose to be clickable buttons.
    Where it says "CANES - WOOD TYPES - ACCESSORIES -ABOUT US" I want those to be clickable. I do have the buttons as single jpg's if needed, but I'm sure there is some way to set a hover over area over the header image that specifies where to go once clicked.

    Another thing, I want to remove the green bar where "HOME" & "LOG IN" are and move them to the white area that I have carved out at the bottom of the header.

    You guys rock! Thank you!

    the green is not a border, its part of the background image, you can remove it with a program (photoshop/gimp/whatever)
    or change the height for the navMainWrapper

    like

    #navMainWrapper {
    height: 20px;
    }

    or remove it

    with

    #navMainWrapper {
    background-image: none;
    }

    mind you if you take it out, you'll need to mess with your link colors, white on white doesn't show up very well

    I've looked everywhere for "navMainWrapper", and can only find it in tpl_header.php, but I cant find any settings for the image there.

    Nevermind, I found the area.

    Ok, the next part.

    I want the header anchor to go away, and I want to set an anchor to the 4 wooden buttons on the bottom right.
