Hi, ppl iam new here and iam completley lost

But then realised i dont know how to add content to the pages haha
Such as a welcome or introduction.

I was also wondering i have some templates which i like but not to sure on the colour is this a easy process to do?

Anyone out there that can point me in the right direction, would be appreciated.

Much of the content can be modified using the Define Pages Editor in admin>tools. In this case, you want to change define_main_page.php.

Be sure to overide this file and any others you change, at:
includes\languages\english\html_includes

Changing colours is relatively straight forward. These are controlled by stylesheet.css, located in your custom template.

I've changed some text through Define Pages Editor in admin>tools but iam guess i copy the new php file over the old one at:
includes\languages\english\html_includes

I was wondering how i save the new file as a php file?

Iam guessing this is the only way to enter text, nothing simple like "word style" click on icons to get things done huh?

For whichever file(s) you plan on changing using the Define Pages Editor, before changing it, move it (using ftp) to..
includes\languages\english\html_includes\your_template

The Define Pages Editor will know you are overiding it so when you edit it in admin, you will be editing the overide.

Also, you may find it easier to use the built-in HTMLarea. On the Define Pages Editor page, there should be a drop-down titled Text Editor. Switching this will allow for a WYSIWYG type of editing.

Sorry, just for clarity, "move" should have said "copy".

Thanks for that seems to be working.

Iam also trying to put a banner on my homepage aswell across over wher the "powered by zen cart the art of e-commerce" and centered like on your website.

And to remove the navagation links under the main banner, as there is already links under categories.

Sorry to be a pain

This is mysite so you got a rough idea what iam describing

I just checked your site and it looks as if you've already placed your own banner in the footer. I don't know if you're aware of this but you still have the default Zen Cart banners installed as well. These will show up sometimes unless you remove or disable them. This can be done in Admin>Tools>Banner Manager.

I think the navigation links you're referring to are the category tabs. To turn these off, you need to go to Admin>Config>Layout Settings>Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF.

Thanks for getting back to me, just realised my banner is at the foot of the page.

I kinda wanted it at the top centered, instead of the "powered by zen cart the art of e-commerce" and where the tage line goes.

Thanks i really appreciate your help and advice.
