layout basics
Hi,
I see some zencarts have the leftcolumn and middle section in a whole rounded corner background. Where can you add this and some have the left column staring in from the page about 100px.?
The number of heading bars on top of scrren how can they be changed ?

Post a url to your install with specific issues you want to address

Re: layout basics
I cna explain it easy enough, as my url is on my local server.
well the default install has left column and middle or main section and right column and top headings.
The middle main section can be changed from getting the id from page source, going to stylesheet and changing it.
Unless there is another easier way?

custom layout
Hi,
I might ask here about page layout because there is a forum on page layout.
I found out that to change a page layout on some elements eg prod info page what you do is find the id from page source, then on stylesheet.css you can then change position and style with the id name.
I am confused about nested id's as this ssems to be very common and require a different css syntax.
Is this how it is with images,text,buttons on a page which appears in main area ( big middle bit). Or do i move some of these things in admin area.
I am just findout out how to change a prod info page.

Re: custom layout
My site on my pc localhost, so i can't post an url .
I have a fairly basic question though, so just a simple example will have to do.
I just want to know about moving things around on the layout, because I have a few elemnts (option drop down box ) in bad positions so i want to move it.
To move things around in prod info do you just get the id in page source and use it in style sheet, is this what you do?

Re: custom layout
NO this is not to be pasted into a stylesheet. Stylesheets only contain css information

Re: custom layout
I am talking about a stylsheet though but stylesheets need and id or class to work from. I am wanting to alter the layout position of some items on the page as the dropdown box is in a bad position, so i need to move it up. The prod info image I want moved to center of page more etc
Isn't this how you move things around, as someone else told this earlier for optionbox dropdown.

Re: layout basics
The first thing you should do is review every single option in the admin menu. Ok, you're not going to remember where everything is, but you'll find a heck of a lot of "switches"
At the very least, view the admin > configuration options.
Rounded corners are a bit further up the learning curve.

Re: custom layout
Yes you do get the id from view source and use it in the stylesheet. You don't just cut & paste - the syntax is different. Where you see <div id="asdf"> in the php file, you use
#asdf { border: 2px #00aaff;} or whatever
in the stylesheet.
