HELP! I ready need help with some modifications

[missinglife]

I have been search for couple days here for these questions that I have, I have many posts but none of them helps with my issues.

here are the things that need help with:
1. I add new image for my search, but now my search box and button are not in alignment any more.

2. there is a horizontal line within my categories, how do I remove that?

3. is there any way that I hind cart contents (not shown)?

4. which file should I modify to allow my "Shopping Cart" (image/sidebox) visible, even there is nothing in the cart.

here is my site: http://www.the4thmuse.com
Thanks

Hi, I can answer one of your questions. You can get rid of that solid line in the sidebar by editing your css at this line:

.sideBoxContent HR {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
}

You can replace the 1pxetc with "none."

Thank you so much, but that did not solve my issue, it did take out the bar but leave a blank space here.
however I did solve it by using Admin developers tool to located the code.
in case you would like to do the same, here is what I have done:

if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_SPECIALS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_FEATURED_PRODUCTS == 'true' or SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_ALL == 'true') {
// display a separator between categories and links
if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_SEPARATOR_LINK == '1') {
//$content .= '<hr id="catBoxDivider" />' . "\n";
$content .= '' . "\n";
}
if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_SPECIALS == 'true') {
$show_this = $db->Execute("select s.products_id from " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s where s.status= 1 limit 1");
if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
$content .= '<a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_SPECIALS . '</a>' . '<br />' . "\n";
}


I comment out the RED (in case I will use it later)
and replace it with GREEN (new version)

it took out the bar and closed the space.

oops I forgot to tell you what file:
\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\sideboxes\tpl_categories.php

OK, sorry! I was dumb. This is easy:

In your admin, go to "configuration" then go to "layout settings" and set "Categories Separator between links Status" to 0.

That will do the trick. Sorry for sending you on that wild goose chase.

3. I don't understand the question.

4. Admin - Configuration - Layout Settings - Shopping Cart Box Status

Thank you so much...it solve my issue.
as for #3, when a buy select an item to buy, it will add the item to the shopping cart, and it will also shown at the sidebox.

is there a way not to show the cart content(s) in the sidebox?

Thanks

You want to always show the shopping cart sidebox, but not show what is in it? This doesn't seem to make sense - can you clarify exactly what you do want to see there?

[missinglife]

it did seems make no make sense hun...

what I am trying to do is to have a clean look, I dont want added contents to shown in shopping cart sidebox (left), only when a buyer click the image (shopping cart), it will take buyer to http://the4thmuse.com/index.php?main_page=shopping_cart

hope this will clear it up a bit.
Thanks

I wanted clarification before suggesting this blanket solution, in case there was some part of the content (like total) you did want to show.

Add to your stylesheet

#shoppingcartContent {display: none;}

Oh...Thank you so much...Glenn

this is exactly what I wanted
you just make my day

now I can move on the get my attributes to display the way I want...
