disabling NavMain

1. Yes, if there is no selector already, you can add it. There is also a selector for #navMainWrapper I believe, so you might try to see which one works best for you. My site is heavily customized, so I can't tell you exactly what to do without a url to your site.

2. I do not believe there is any admin control for the main navigation.

I'm still feeling my way through css here. I believe that the line I posted above applies only to ul items, right? So, there's nothing JUST for the navMain element itself.

Should I put my new code before the code that I listed? That seems to be the way its done in other stylesheets I've looked at.

The navMainWrapper element is similarly "bundled" in with other items I don't wish to hide, so I can't just add it there.

Thanks for the help.

You are correct. The line you posted above pertains only to ul items for #navMain, #navSupp, and#navCatTabs.

I would add the new code before those as well. It's how I do it but mostly for sanity and organization.

You can add the navMainWrapper with the new code it if you want it hidden as well.

So you could add:

#navMainWrapper, #navMain {
display:none;
}

Thanks so much! Now (and this is mostly for my education only)...what if I wanted to move it below the banner instead of eliminating it?

That would be done in includes/common/tpl_header.php...there are blocks of code labeled with comments such as

<!--bof-navigation display-->
code is here...
<!--eof-navigation display-->

<!--bof-branding display-->
code is here...
<!--eof-branding display-->

so you would cut the block of code for the navigation, and paste it under the block of code for the header logo...

Ah, OK, so it's another file-level change (which is perfectly fine...I'm just still trying to get the lay of the land here).

And, what does the "f" stand for in "bof" and "eof?"

Thanks.

It definitely takes a while to learn the system and where everything is...before you make any php file changes though, make sure you have a good grasp on the override system and that you are using your own custom template. Otherwise you will have major headaches later down the road, especially when upgrading.

I've always just assumed the bof and eof just meant beginning of and end of. :)
