Help appreciated with three little problems

[veronicathecow]

Hi, this is my first posting here. I am trying to fix a couple of things on this test site I am building and I have solved most things but a couple of hints would be very welcome.
www.veronicathecow.co.uk

I am using the original templates etc (I will eventually use the overide system)

Problems
1. The text in the bars above manufacturers, search and currencies need to be in white.

2. The Text above the picture "Welcome to the Honesty Cosmetics Online Shop" needs to be bigger and centered.

3. I want the navigations links to be at the bottom and in the dark blue

Many thanks for your time.

1) If you look into the html output, you will be able to see that those three sideboxes heading that you wanted to be presented in white are all within a <lable> element. If you look into line 54 of your stylesheet.css, you will be able to see the settings for the <label> element. I suggest you to take out the label from the group and start a new one like:

label {
color: white; font-size: 1.1em; }

2) To enlarge and center the heading, you can add the following to your stylesheet.css file. It should work.

h1#indexDefaultHeading {font-size: 1.6em; text-align: center;}

3) for the category listing on the footer, please let me come back to you in a min. (The bus had just arrived).

okay, I am now on the bus, let me give you a quick answer to your question 3 as well.

Basically you wanted the function that are listing all categories at the top to be shown at the bottom as well. You will not be able to do that without having to alter some of the codes.

If you really want to do it, then look for the tpl_footer.php inside your templates/common folder. Add the following codes just before the "show IP" codes:

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

The function at the header will then be copied to the footer area. You will have to play around with the css a little to get the color going for you.

Have fun.

Wow DiverPeter, thanks very much for your fast and accurate help, I have been searching for hours trying to sort this!

The only thing is with item 3, I want to remove the navigation bar from the top. So now I have it at the bottom but the top as well
I tried comenting out using <--xyz--> (I assume that's right as I have never dealt with PHP code before but I just had the formating go strange and the menu stayed,)

<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">

Thanks again
Tony

Tony, removing the category tab at the header is even easier than adding it to the footer. There are two way that you can do it.

The hard one is to find the exact same code that I had shown you before at the tpl-header.php and remove it from there completly.

The easy way is to login to the admin screen, and look for "Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF" under the CONFIGURATION >> LAYOUT SETTING. You can actually switch it off from here.

Have Fun

Hi, Diverpeter, thanks again for reply, only trouble is that it switches off the bottom one as well. The idea is that at the top of the page people have got the left navigation bar to products but if they are at the bottom of a long page then they will have a quick navigation point down there and will not have to scroll all the way up again to use the bar on the left.
Thanks
Tony

Hi Diverpeter, not to worry I managed to track the pesky thing down to the following. Thanks again for help, I think I am finally getting the basics.

How to remove header navigation links to product pages.

Edit includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php
and comment out the part as shown below
<!--bof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->
<!--<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php'); ?>-->
<!--eof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->
