minimal carts - maximum customization?

[adville]

yes - all my images are there and ready to go

[adville]

What I'm trying to achieve is a cart that looks like this:

http://adville.com/MarqueeCards.html

but with the right sideboxes - shopping cart and UPS module.

I realize I may well have to reduce the size of the postcard images in order to fit a 150 pixel wide right side box column. That is, if I can still place two cards side by side.

yes - all my images are there and ready to go

open your stylesheet.css (includes/templates/my_own_template/css/stylesheet.css)

add the following:


#logoWrapper{
margin:0;
padding:0;
background: url(../images/YOUR_HEADER_IMAGE.jpg) no-repeat;
position: relative;
height:77px;/* This should be the same height and your header image*/
width:100%;
top:0;
left:0;
}

Lets do this one next

right sidebox shopping cart

go to admin -> configuration -> layout settings -> Shopping Cart Box Status (set to 0)

done - this is fantastic help Clyde

I'm not a big fan of "fluid" width.

I'd make the following change(s):

open your stylesheet.css (includes/templates/my_own_template/css/stylesheet.css)

#mainWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: transparent;
text-align: left;
width: 980px;
vertical-align: top;
}

And lets tweak your header image

#logoWrapper{
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
background: url(../images/DentalCardHeader.gif) no-repeat;
position: relative;
height:190px;/* This should be the same height and your header image*/
width:530px;
text-align: center;
}

header logo still seems to want to go to the left, and it also looks like there's a transparent column there on the left. Meanwhile I'm still trying to wrangle colors/transparency of page elements. And those damn Home links in horizontal bars - albeit transparent - won't go away.

You must have the pateince of a saint, Clyde :)

[adville]

that centered it

[adville]

also - i now understand that the header is indeed central and spans the entire width of the page, while the left of the two visible columns below is also center aligned: it's just that it has a column to the right too.
