Add link in actual logo

[gee38l]

Hey Zenners,

I have been going through threads for the past 2 days looking for a solution to what i want to do. I have tried heaps of solutions that have been posted but i cant seem to get it right!

I am trying to move a shopping cart mod from the navigation bar into the logo just below and a simple search bar newxt to it on the same line basically replacing the currencies bar with the search and moving it into the logo..... Then deleteing the entire navigation bar so that the css header menu can be used instead.

I have attached a pic!

I would say you are fighting a Template Monster Template issue...
As they do not design within the ZenCart structure most anything you can find here will not apply
You can search for them here are see the many issues

Yeah someone said something like that before. Although I managed to get the item in cart into the nav bar! Surely I can do what I want to do it's just I think I'm placing the code in the wrong place. Can you please assist me?

It probably can be done; the problem is that TM versions of template files are often so different from the standard version that we don't already know from our experience how to fix them. A few people have some experience with altering TM templates, but most of us don't want anything to do with them because they are such a stupid pain. The functions TM puts in could be done neatly within the standard structure, but they choose to mangle it.

Yeah im finding TM templates to be a pain aswell! The initial web designers implemented this and i didnt know about it until i posted a problem here in which i then found out that it can be difficult to play with as most of the solutions here dont work as the code is customised, they have since been fired and i have taken over but i am new to all this so im learning :) So far i have managed to add the css header menu and place that to how i want using tpl_header, i have also added the cart bar into the nav header and placed that correctly and now they want me to change it how i have it layed out in the picture. So what can i do to get it like the pic im sure its just a matter of having the code in the correct place but knowing where the correct place is has proven to be pain as the code in tpl header is not defined like it is with the default templates etc. Glen i know you have assisted me before with the other things above what can i do to get this done?

Thanks

Anyone?

Since we know the files are different from standard, there is no way anyone can help unless you post the tpl_header.php that you have, and possibly other relevant files. (Use [php] and [/php] tags for any files you post.)

Sorry here is the tpl_header...

You have this long string of divs that enclose the various nav sections:
<div class="menu">
<div class="menu_r">
<div class="menu_l">
<div class="menu_tr">
<div class="menu_tl">

<div class="menu_pad">
<div class="navigation">


It looks like .nav_1 is the part you want to eliminate. As long as you have those functions elsewhere, you can delete that section.

.nav_2 and .nav_3 are the parts you want to move into the logo area, so move those code blocks

<div class="nav_2">
<?php #HEADER CURRENCIES START ?>
...
<?php #HEADER CURRENCIES END ?>
</div>

<div class="nav_3">
<div id="navMainCartSummary">
...
</div>
</div>

into this section

     <div class="head">
        <div class="head_r">
            <div class="head_l">
            
                <div class="logo">
                    <div class="spacer"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT);?>"><?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'images/logo.jpg'); ?></a></div>
                </div>
            
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

probably just after the
<div class="spacer">
line.

You will need to make that spacer not occupy the whole logo width; in stylesheet_tm.css, just after
.spacer {font-size:0px; line-height:0px;}
add
.logo .spacer {width:460px;}

Eliminate the whole mess of divs before
<div class="head">
(starting with <div class="menu"> ).

You will need to change a bunch of styles to make the nav divs look right in their new location.
