    Default Hi all - category links questions

    I am setting up a webstore. See the work in progress here www.jansuh.nl

    I am currently trying to figure out how to make categories i create on the left sidebox not appear on the header./tabs menu. On the header tab menu i'd like the ability to create my own links.

    Hope you understand what i mean.

    Great forum by the way.

    Answers to many of your initial questions can be located and searched for in the Tutorial/FAQ's link at the top of this page and you wan't have to wait for another to respond...

    Also many volunteer's here like myself, will not respond to a question unless you also post a link to your site - Not to worry about the stage of development as we all have been there.

    OK,

    Let me rephrase my question after hours of trying to find the solution.

    At this moment when i create a new category it appears in the left colum the way i want to. It also appears in the tabs menu bar on the top of my page below the header image.

    I have found the way to completely turn of this menu but this is not what i want. I'd like to not show my categorys in the tabs menu bar but only display me EZ pages like contact info etc. there.

    Any help or hint in the right way is appreciated.

    Website: www.jansuh.nl for the test environment
    www.pureandtimeless.nl/webshop is the eventual end destination.

    Kind regards and many thanks

    Follow the tutorial to turn off the "Cat-Tabs" in the header...

    EZPages are contained in another div and not in #catTabs

    When you setup the ezpage you select the header location

    Default Re: Hi all - category links questions

    I've looked and looked but i don't seem to get it rigth.

    Went around it by installing editable sidebox so i can make my own sidebox.

    Stumbled upon another problem now. Easy pages do not turn up on my header bar. Even with the setting in Configuration > EZ-Pages Settings set to 1. When i switch to another template they are there.

    next challenge i guess.

    Could your template's tpl_header.php file be missing the ez-page code?
    Compare it to the one from a template that does display the ez-page bar.

    Your editable sidebox is going to require continual maintenance whenever you change the categories, and it will not be able to display subcategories correctly if the site ever has them. For your long-term sanity, you should bring back the categories sidebox and use the ez-page bar, or edit the cat-tabs file if necessary (I have posted about this recently).

    Found that in the template_default tpl_header.php file compared to the one from my template there is this bit of code missing in my template

    PHP Code:
    <!--bof-header ezpage links-->
    <?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
    <?php 
    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE$current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php'); ?>
    <?php 
    ?>
    <!--eof-header ezpage links-->
    When i put this in my template. A ezpage shows up in the left catergorie bar (behind the links that are already there) Still no way of getting them in the header.

    getting closer...........
