    help question A Few problems setting up my site.

    Hi. I have just installed Zen Cart successfully but have hit a few customisation snags.

    1. How do you alter the depth of the very top bar (above the logo). Also, how do you remove the search link in that bar.

    2. How do you alter the position of the logo.

    3. How do you alter the contents of the bar below the logo.

    Many thanks in anticipation of your help.

    Regards

    Philip

    Most all your questions are controlled with the css stylesheet

    A url to your site and descriptive questions are helpful.

    Thanks Kobra, I take your point.

    The site I am currently working on can be found at www.pjleisurewear.co.uk/marketplace. I am trying for many of the effects to be found in www.pjleisurewear.co.uk/shop - our previous site that was being developed for us until the designer went AWOL!!.

    My initial requirements are as follows:-

    1) I would like to make the top bar thinner and remove the search box.

    2) I would like to alter the position of the logo and change the style of the tagline to that of our previous shop.

    3) Iwould like to have the same style of search bar below the logo as that in our old shop.

    I have had experience of creating an osCommerce site so know all about editing stylesheet.css files.

    Many thanks in anticipation of your help.

    You also have your breadcrumbs overlapping the categories box header. (I'm using Firefox.) And do you want the tagline that big and wide? People using narrower resolution screens will not see that same result -- when I narrow my browser, the text wraps and breaks the look of the header. I would suggest smaller text or an image.

    You should be able to use the tpl_header.php file in your template to move the search box.

    Everything else should be, as Kobra said, in the stylesheet.css file. If you're using Firefox, use the Firebug or web developer add-ons to locate the exact code in the stylesheet. Saves hours of time.

    By breadcrumbs, are you refering to the bar directly under the logo/tagline? For that, I want to achieve the look in www.pjleisurewear.co.uk/shop . Where in the stylesheet can I find it.

    Has anyone produced a guide to the stylesheet?, similar to the one iavailable for osCommerce?
