It has been asked before - but no clear answer

Hi Colin,

I am barely able to spell CSS much less program it, but, it looks like your header is repeating rather than too wide. Maybe the norepeat; command in the logowrapper.

Also, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but, the Classic tempate is a holdover from previous versions. You would really be better off to start with template_default or Kuroi's template rather than starting with the Classic template.

One nifty suggestion I read was to delete all the files from the /classic folders and then as you edit files put the in the appropriate /classic folder. It will help you to know where you edits go a little more easily.

You will only edit files that are essential to get your information in the cart. Those files will be your new template and they go in various folders in /includes and a few in /admin (look for /custom). The core files don't get touched except by the devs for patches, upgrades etc. Your customized files don't get overwritten since they are in the /custom, /classic, /your_template, /whatever folder.

When you turn on your template in the admin, it uses the default file unless there is a customized version in you override folder.

This is the 60 sec version of what is in the thread that I referred you to. Took me many times through it to pretend that I understood. STRONGLY suggest you read the tutorial by NetworkDad in the FAQ (and in my thread from earlier) for more on this.

Don't give up.

Thanks for the help everyone - It is all starting to fall into place.

I think, if anything, I have spent so much time working on the
same CMS systems (Mambo-Joomla) and their associated extentions-API.

So much so that I have forgotten how to stretch my brain-cells into unusual shapes.

ZenCart is different (and immensely powerful), I will grant you that!


Cheers,
