    Default Zen Cart Newbie Question

    I am building my first Zen Cart site. Really like it so far, just a little confusing on editing the template sometimes. Here is my site:

    http://highlandisland.com.previewdns.com/zencart/

    I just need to change 3 things:
    1. Move the "Home/Login" links at the top under the shopping bag to the right in the header
    2. Create a wider logo on the left (may not be an issue once Home/Login is gone?)
    3. Get rid of that square in the main picture.

    I have a tutorial book, but it keeps referring to things in the template_default. I got my template from template monster, so some of the files aren't there.

    As primarily an htlml/asp guy, I feel like I'm chasing my tail. That out of place image is named header_banner.jpg. I can right click it and see that. I can browse through my zencart directory and find an instance of it. But when I open my site in Dreamweaver and run a search on my entire Zen Cart directory and sub-directories, it tells me there is no instance of code that mentions header_banner.jpg. I was hoping to hop into a PHP page find the reference that plops that image over the larger picture and delete it.

    I'm glad to provide anybody with any code that'll help, I'm just a little lost at this point. Thanks for the help!

    Since you're using a Template Monster template you'll have more trouble getting styling help here, because TM does some strange things with the core files (other than template files). We'll do the best we can.

    The best thing you can do is get the Web Developer plugin for the Firefox browser, so you can find the CSS for the elements on your pages.

    The box in the header is #bannerTwo. You may be able to turn it off in Admin - Tools - Banner Manager. If not, add this to your stylesheet:

    #bannerTwo {display:none;}

    Also, searching the Zencart files for certain strings is easier with Admin - Tools - Developers Tool Kit. You'll find you'll have little real use for Dreamweaver with Zencart.
