Main page welcome message

[Drunkguy]

Hi everybody!

I want to reclaim the space at the top of the main page where the Congratulations! You have successfully installed ....... or Welcome to my store message goes.

I have no text between the quotes in includes/languages/TEMPLATE/index.php but it still takes up that space.

What can i turn off or delete from index.php so my page starts at the top?

Thanks
Drunkguy

Paste back the .php file you are refering to please..

includes/ languages/ english/ index.php

Is TEMPLATE your override directory name?

[Drunkguy]

Yes, TEMPLATE is my template override dir.

Where would a person go to change the color of this text?

[haredo]

Then this will be the path you the index.php file..

includes/ languages/ english/ TEMPLATE/ index.php

1. also you have another one in the file also
2. just look below the first one that is blank
3. define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart&trade; E-Commerce Solution.');
4. Change to:
5. define('HEADING_TITLE', '');

would you please post a link to your site or just PM me the Url...

This will be done in this file:

includes/ templates/ your_template/ css/ stylesheet.css
1. #indexDefaultHeading {color: #ff0000;}
2. just add it to the bottom of the stylesheet.css

You will see the space below the nav bar and the main page area display. The space is where the welcome message is displaying the empty string and I want the space to go away.

Thanks

I sure appreciate your help but this did not work. I tried it in every stylesheet I could find and the effect is notta.
I added the code at the end of the file and I also added just "color: #ff0000;
" to...

#indexDefaultHeading {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
}

like this...

#indexDefaultHeading {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
color: #ff0000;
}
