Which FILE to modify ?

[Website Editor]

I am completely new to Zen cart. I am editing one of my client's website to reflect navigation and phone number changes. 3 of his pages are created using Zen cart which DOES NOT have header and footer through Zen cart interface but it has this customized navigation bar as header and footer which is same as the entire website.

My question is which files do I edit to reflect the header and footer changes on Zen cart pages and where to locate those files ?

They should be /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php and tpl_footer.php, where your_template is the foldername of the active custom template.
As this is apparently a highly modified installation, it could be something else entirely; we would have to see the file structure to be sure.

Use FTP to access the Zen Cart installation, download the files, edit and re-upload them. Note: you cannot use Word to edit these files, as it will add extra formatting and junk that will damage the files. Use a good text/file editor like Notepad++.

gjh42 pointed you to the files and the overrides(do not edit core files) edited copies will be in your template structure
includes/templates/circos/common/ for those 2 files

You are half in ZenCart and half outside the html pages are no longer needed - just move content to ZenCart and move ZenCart from "/store" to "/"

I looked for the tpl_header.php and tpl_footer.php in includes/templates/circos/common/ I am not too sure what to edit in those files as I couldn't find any HTML code.

You are correct by saying that the pages are half HTML and half Zen cart. I appreciate your advice of moving it completely to Zen Cart. But it would be much more benficial as of now.. to just modify the navigation and phone number. Can you help me figure out the HTML / PHP pages that would have header and footer that I need to modify ?

[gjh42]

Perhaps due to the acrobatics of trying to have a site which is half HTML and half Zen Cart, you have some serious HTML errors:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...Dpage%26id%3D2
Some of these are trivial, but some really need to be corrected before you can expect your site to work right in all browsers.

The HTML is built in bits and pieces in those files, unless the template creator put it all somewhere else. If you post the tpl_header.php between [php] and [/php] tags, we can tell you what the situation is and possibly how to fix it.

The first thing your copy of tpl_header.php does (after displaying any warnings or alerts) is to add an HTML comment
<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->
even before deciding whether to output the header. This is absent from the output.
It appears your /includes/templates/circos/common/tpl_main_page.php may have been hacked up to delete the call to the header entirely.
