catagories question

[nevada]

when you click on a category heading it opens the sub-category list below it. right now it centers the list. is there a way to force it so that it always stays left as it expands?

on that note, how do you force the text in the boxes such as category, information, etc to align left?

im in the css but i am not really sure what im looking for.

thx!

Find this in your stylesheet, and add the red part:

#navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo {
background-color: transparent;
text-align:left;
}

Hey I really like the look of your site. Can you tell me what template you are using and where you got it from.

thank you for the compliment on the site. i appreciate it! i am hoping to go live here in the next week with it.

here is a link to the template:

http://www.templatemonster.com/zenca...tes/26071.html


I searched on google for template monster coupons so if you buy one do that. it saved me around $18 on the cost. it was pretty easy to load up on the server and adjust using the zen cart book. that was worth $50 as well. the images i got from istock photo. for a a minimal cost you can get some great images to use legally on your site. there is also an option to purchase rights for using images for print material like shirts etc if you need that as well.

Im not a php programmer. i have some html background so can muddle through but for me the template was the best option. i wantd something close to turn key that had a quaility finished look without a huge cost. i did some searching for custom site designers on elance and most were 500 on up which was not in my budget. a few seemed to quote the price and were offering a template anyways.

the only thing i have noticed is that prople are reluctant or not willing to really help troubleshoot issues with 3rd party templates on here for some reason. i know its about the basic zen cart software but some of the questions i had were about that and not the template itself. so who knows lol. anyways if you have any questions feel free to ask. the book is a great resource!

Suggest you steer clear of Template Monster templates - see above & search

Go to this link & select demo and the Darkness template
With very little it could be very much like nevada's Template Monster template
And the cost is $0.00

Thanks I really appreciate the detailed response. I put so much effort into modifying the template I started with it's hard to know whether to carry on or start with a professional template. There are some really nice things in the template that I am using, but I have had to customise so much. I think I am past the half way mark and I am getting better at working out how to do things, so I am going to cary on for a bit and see what happens.

Good tip on purchasing the artwork thanks and I think I will have to get the book too!

I came across your sight when I was looking up how to get the text in my products listing to align left.

If you want a look it's www.fastbikegear.co.nz (It is live so don't hit 'confirm purchase' anywhere.
