Newby needs to costumize

[mskala23]

That was it! feels good to get somewhere. Now, will I be able to put the "login" and "home" links somewhere else on the page? preferably specifically place them where ever I want? I also lost the category links bar, so i will need to have that on the page somewhere, maybe in the footer? I don't want to use the side box unless I have no other choice. Maybe I can make use of the drop down links add on...

THANKS!!

You could copy the cat-tabs code into tpl_footer.php if you want them there; or there are other files you could move the code to for various locations. The same goes for the login/home links.

I am not to confident about doing that but I will give it a try. Do I put the footer page into my custom template (my_template) common folder?

[gjh42]

Correct. Then if you mess up, you can start over with a clean new copy from /template_default/common/.

Where is the cat-tabs code?

[gjh42]

This section in /includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php calls the cat-tabs files:

<!--bof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php'); ?>
<!--eof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->

Copying this into /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_footer.php would probably do the job.

Looks like it worked but "<!--bof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->" is being displayed on the page...

[mskala23]

woops... I saw what it was. I missed the first "<" with the copy and paste.

looks like the home link is on a different line but if I can get it on the top of the page where I want it, I will not need it on the footer. My next task will be to place the "home" and "log-in" links towards the upper right hand of the page. Which common page do I edit for this? The header page? Than how do I specify where it goes? with CSS?

[gjh42]

Seems to be working fine now...

OK, you fixed it while I was reading your post:)

[gjh42]

For the home/login/etc., you might want to put the code in tpl_main_page.php just above the breadcrumb code. You can adjust the position from there with CSS.
