2 layout questions

[fsfireworks]

I took over this site and not real great with zen cart so could use a little help if possible.

The site is http://www.fireworks4all.com

My questions are 1st how do I get that slider bar moved to the bottom or completely gone I do not see that in the admin section anywhere.

2nd after it says welcome to four seasons fireworks it seems to show the categories with pictures I want that to not show and add in some text information.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

I'm afraid this isn't going to seem to helpful, but at least I can let you know more about the situation you're in.

It looks to me as though the site is using a Template Monster (TM) template, and a rather old one at that. That template has been been customized to include the slider.

The problem is that TM templates from that era didn't necessarily respect the Zen Cart admin facilities anyway, and we can't see from the public side of the site what customizations were done to insert that slider.

What you could do would be to use the Admin > Tools > Developers Toolkit to search your templates for "slider" and that might help you to find where it's been inserted.

But unless this site is converting well (which would be a surprise) my advice would be to start again and develop a new template.

Thanks for the advice upon searching this is all I could find for the information that you had me look for.

What that tells us is that whomever implemented the slider didn't really know what they were doing, since they have hacked the default pages and included it in what appears to be a non-functioning backup page - or maybe that was done later.

To remove it you will need to go into each of those files and remove everything from the div tag with class slider to the equivalent closing div tag.

However, that will still leave behind the scenes maintenance functions. To clean these out a good starting point would be the Developers Toolkit again to find where the prepare_slider function is defined.
