Header and Footer changes

[derbra1513]

Hey evryone, ive came across a problem. What i am trying to do is eliminate all the side headings and such (which i was able to do) and alot of the extra stuffin the heading and footer ex. show ip address. My story is I created a website for a client and about after 200 pages he decided he wanted to make it into an active buying site which i said i was willing to do, what i would ultimatly like is to get this html script (header) and replace it with the one i have now http://www.nucrisp.com/Zencart/index...&products_id=1 (like to remove all the orange, login, home, zencart header and sales message with this www.nucrisp.com/header/header.html. I would also like to accomplish the same thing with my footer. Thanks so much for the help, I realy appreciate it!

Turning off the side columns can be accomplished via the Admin> Configuration> Layout Settings. Changing the other things are via the Template Override system.

Start with this FAQ section: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/faq.ph...late_customize

Well the thing is , is that i want these links on the top, its an HTML code for rollovers and links here is the links to the header and links i wanna put up http://www.nucrisp.com/headers/headers.html

You could start by enabling the categories under the header from the admin > configuration > Layout Settings > Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF
And turning off the sidebox also from the admin > tools > layout boxes controller

Then adjusting the rollover effect. The text size, color, spacing etc from the stylesheet.css.

If you turn off all the sideboxes, it's best to also turn off the right and left columns via Admin > Configuration > Layout Settings and look for "Column Left Status - Global" and "Column Right Status - Global"

ok well thanks for the help http://http://www.nucrisp.com/Zencar...&products_id=1 thats what i got so far. but would it be possible to put those top header links (html) in my zencart?

[kuroi]

Ahh. I see the confusion. I suspect that you haven't defined any categories for your products.

You define categories by going to Admin > Catalog > Categories/Products then click on the new categories button at the bottom (you may need to delete the product that you have defined first), then the links that you want would appear in the header automatically. They wouldn't look exactly like you have them, you would need to style them with CSS in your stylesheet.

Yes sorry for the confusion, the problem im having is that the site was already made and i need these same exact headers and links http://www.nucrisp.com/headers/headers.html would this be possible by making my custom template?

The way you will get those same "headers and links" is by following Kobra's and Kuroi's instructions above.

Create the categories ("links") you want in your admin > Catalog > Categories & Products > New Category, and apply your style information in stylesheet.css.

And yes, you would put your customized copies of stylesheet.css and any php files you modify in your custom template. See instructions in the FAQ. Have fun!

I want those same exact catagories and links, would it be possible to copy that html code (the one at www.nucrisp.com/headers/headers.html) and put it as my zen cart template? (I have special rollovers and dividers that I would like to keep)
