I am a big time newb and feel real stupid asking, but I can get into my adminstration panel, and ad products, catagory's etc. but for the life of me I can not find the style sheet. I would like to change text and colors of mine and am lost. I also got my zencart downlaoded from godaddy.com where my hosting is. Please help me learn. Thanks Corey

[HappyMom]

is located at:


/www/your_zen_cart/includes/templates/your_template_name/css/stylesheet.css

your_template_name is probably something like "classic" if you haven't created our own template.

Oh... and you can't really modify it thru the admin account, you have to modify using an FTP client. Downlaod it , change it, then upload it again.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

I know this is a newbie question but do you install ff on your pc or on the server and if it's on the servers - how and where do you stick it.

I know this is a newbie question but do you install ff on your pc or on the server and if it's on the servers - how and where do you stick it.

When you say "ff", do you mean the "FTP"?

The FTP is a program that you use to upload and download files from your server. Is the same program that you use to install and upload your zen store.

The FTP progam is install on your PC.

Using your FTP Program, you loggin in to your server, then you go to the directory
/www/your_zen_cart/includes/templates/your_template_name/css/

and download the file:
stylesheet.css

Make the change to the stylesheet.css and then upload it back to the server, to the same directory from where you download it. Is always a good idea to create a back up, just incase things get really mess up.

Does this make sense?

Thanks!

Hi,

Another great ff extention is the FireBug one. You can test things "live" although it does not actualy edit your files. once you have your changes sorted just cut and paste to your files and your done.

I think Web Developer is great. The only problem I am having is - when I use Information|Display Element Information, some of the text runs out the right side of the "Web Developer" text box when I mouse of certain parts of the page. Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm pretty new can you tell me where I can find the text color in the style sheet so I can change my header text from gray to white? alisgaragesale.com/CTaquatic this is the text I want to change the color of. "Welcome to CT Aquatic! Your connection for all your salt water aquarium needs."

Hi Battra, last May2007 you submitted the idea of downloading a webdeveloper extension for Firefox. I was able to down load it, but when I attempted to "install" it in Firefox, I got the error message that it was not a valid Win32 application??? To the best of your knowledge, has something changed from when you made your recommendation? Thanks for your help, sounds like something that would be very helpful!
