integrating into rest of site

[kobra]

You have this in the logo div that has other code attached to it elsewhere...

<div id="logoWrapper">
    <div id="logo">
		
	        <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"

My posted code has this in it's own div highlighted in red and where have you placed the .js file and what is the name of the .js you are using?

<div id="logoWrapper">
    <div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
		<div id="flashcontent">    
        <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"

It works! thank you so much!!!
now i just need to add the javascript to take care of the IE thing, and then i need to change the directory paths that the actionscript buttons use in the swf file, so that they go back to the rest of the site.

thanks!

The following is what/how this was integrated into a site I worked on recently and might be close to what you need but I recall that there were some things reordered in the file....

The file is a copy of includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php that you make a copy of and place it into your template file structure - don't forget the .js required and referenced in the links that I posted

<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->
<?php
if (!isset($flag_disable_header) || !$flag_disable_header) {
?>

<div id="headerWrapper">

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="logoWrapper">
    <div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
		<div id="flashcontent">    
        <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"        
        <param name="movie" value="header.swf">
        <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
        <param name="quality" value="high">
        <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
        <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain">

        <embed

html file??? That is way too broad a statement!!! Without knowing what the intent of the file contents is - - cannot comment

Okay, it seems this is the thread I need. I want to intergrate the rest of my site into the top part of my cart with links. I have a forum (NOT phpbb and it's a 4 year old forum whereas my cart is 6 weeks old). I also plan on a coppermine gallery. I know how to do this on vbulletin but not here.

I found the template mentioned but I am not wanting to use flash. All I want are basic, simple links.

<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->

<div id="headerWrapper">
<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">

    <li><a href="http://www.gblcreations.com/store/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.gblcreations.com/store/index.php?main_page=login">Log In</a></li>

</ul>
</div>
<div id="navMainSearch"></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display--> 

That's the section I want to add/change links to.

<li><a href="http://www.gblcreations.com/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.gblcreations.com/store/">Store</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.gblcreations.com/store/index.php?main_page=login">Log In</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.gblcreations.com/forum/index.php">Forum</a></li>

And I am not sure how to do that. As you can see, I want home to be the REAL home, not the front page of the store. Home on my url is actually www.gblcreations.com not www.gblcreations.com/store and then add a link to the vb forum. And once I get coppermine up and running to add it as well.

Any help y'all could give me would be appreciated.

And I am not sure how to do that.

Looks like you already have the proper code just insert it

<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->

<div id="headerWrapper">
<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">

<li><a href="http://www.gblcreations.com/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.gblcreations.com/store/">Store</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.gblcreations.com/store/index.php?main_page=login">Log In</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.gblcreations.com/forum/index.php">Forum</a></li>

</ul>
</div>
<div id="navMainSearch"></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display-->

The code yes, the where is what I am unsure about. I looked at the template mentioned: includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php and wasn't sure where to insert it.

I haven't been using the EZ-Pages cause I simply haven't figured out how. I've actually been doing most of my changes straight to the files themselves.

Example: the define conditions page is much easier for me to edit from my ftp (I use winscp) then to use the htmlarea. I code it and them plug it straight in. So I actually have been coding the /includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/define_conditions.php instead of writing into the wysiwyg.

I cut my teeth on hand coding, I don't wysiwyg nothing if I can help it.

So while I have the proper code...finding exactly where to put it is making me nuts.

I need to know, if you can help, where in that section, it goes or how to do an EZ page, cause *I* have no clue how to do one. Not even how to start one.

I posted where it goes and it is in the tpl_header.php file - just look for the bof navigation display if this is where you want it to display

[gjh42]

EZ-Pages are not useable for this.
As Kobra said, look for this section

<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
<ul class="back">

You want to put your new links into the list here. Note that there is PHP code that turns some of the HTML on or off, like login/out and shopping cart. Don't replace the links that are there with static <a href> links or you will lose some functionality.

You can add your static main "Home" link as a new first list item.
The existing Home link can be renamed "Store" by changing the definition of HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG in a language file. This will correctly set the store home name in several places at once.
Leave the existing login/out/account/shoppingcart links alone.
You can add your "Forum" link at the end of the list.

For editing files, I never use HTMLArea either; you can set that off by default in admin > Configuration > My Store, I believe, and enter your HTML straight into the text box in Define Pages Editor. The code highlighting in something like Notepad++ does make it nice to work there, though.

[southernlady]

Actually I got it to work, but I first saved a copy of my tpl_header.php before I played with it...something I ALWAYS do as a backup.

Here is the new code and it works quite well:

<div id="headerWrapper">
<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">
    <li><a href="http://www.gblcreations.com/">Main Site</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.gblcreations.com/forum/index.php">Forum</a></li>
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
    <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 } } ?>

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="navMainSearch"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display-->

I moved the forum link up just so it would stay out of the way of the coding I wasn't touching. Rather than mess with the store code, I decided to change the Home link to Main Site.

And it works very well.

Thanks for the tip on dealing with the htmlarea. I hate that thing. Even turning it to source is a joke. That's why I just went straight to the code to begin with. I was trying to put in some code in my main page and regardless of how I tried, it spit it back at me. I got even and went around it.

Thanks, Kobra...if I hadn't gotten *mad* at your supposed non-answer, I would not have figured it out. :)
