Moving "New Products" center box higher on home page

I would like to move the New Products center box up higher on my page. In other words, I'd like to set it between the text I have there - about smack in the middle.

Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks!

Look at your admin > tools > define pages editor > main_page.php and remove any space at the bottom of this content

Hello Kobra,

Thank you. I have done this and it removes the space between the bottom of the text and the centerbox. But what I'd like to do is set the centerbox midway on the page, between lines of text, right above where it says "Custom orders are always welcome!"

Is it possible to do this?

Thank you again,
CPJ

Not above as this is only what is contained in the main_page.php file

If you want the text "Custom orders are always welcome!" to be after the new listings you would remove fron the define main_page.php file and can add it in a div in your copy of common/tpl_main_page.php file

Okay. I just wanted it higher on the page, but I guess I'm just too verbose. Thanks for your help.

edit your stylesheet.css

find .centerBoxWrapper

and add the line margin-top:-300px;

before }

with this it will move 300px up (the minus)

Thank you, Procella. I have done that and it works, but now my afore-mentioned verbosity is on top of the centerbox. How do I correct this? See it here:

I've returned my stylesheet to its previous incarnation, but the text was imposed on top of the centerbox images. Is there a way around this?

I'd also like to know how to do this...

I found the answer in a similar thread: https://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82643

What you need to do is:

* Go to your zencart\includes\templates\custom\templates folder (in my case custom is replaced by cherry_zen, yours may be different.

* Open the file tpl_index_default.php in your favorite text editor (I personally use Notepad ++).

* Make sure you make a backup of this file prior to doing any editing (you can do this by copying it into the same folder).

* Whatever boxes you would like to move, copy and paste to the top of the page, like so:

Let's say we want to move "New Products" above our main text content.

Look for something like this:

<?php
/**
 * Page Template
 *
 * Main index page<br />
 * Displays greetings, welcome text (define-page content), and various centerboxes depending on switch settings in Admin<br />
 * Centerboxes are called as necessary
 *
 * @package templateSystem

 */
?>
<div class="centerColumn" id="indexDefault">
<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

<?php if (SHOW_CUSTOMER_GREETING == 1) { ?>
<h2 class="greeting"><?php echo zen_customer_greeting(); ?></h2>
<?php } ?>

<!-- deprecated - to use uncomment this section
<?php if (TEXT_MAIN) { ?>
<div id="" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></div>
<?php } ?>-->

<!-- deprecated - to use uncomment this section
<?php if (TEXT_INFORMATION) { ?>
<div id="" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></div>
<?php } ?>-->

<?php if (DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS <= 2) { ?>
<?php
/**
 * get the Define Main Page Text
 */
?>

Right above where it says DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS, paste in your boxes you want displayed above your content, in this case the "New Products" box:

<?php
/**
 * display the New Products Center Box
 */
?>


<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_whats_new.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_whats_new.php'); ?>

Upload to the correct folder on your server and voila! You now have your boxes above your text content.
