Display a page without the categories

[davisz]

Hello,

I've done some searching and I cannot find a similar topic to this. I want to create a page that will list some choices for the customer to examine before they make their final purchase. I do not want this page to be a new zen_cart page completely, just a page that shows the content I want and not the categories. (If unavoidable, it would be ok if the header was gone too.)

Has anyone attempted or accomplished this?

Thanks for the tips.

1. Create an EZPage containing your desired content (ie: the list of links, or whatever it is)

2. Create a stylesheet called pageXX.css (where XX is the EZPage ID number - you can see the ID number in a browser address bar when the page is showing on-screen - index.php?main_page=page&id=21).

3. Write up appropriate CSS declarations that will HIDE or render NON-VISIBLE, the elements you don't want to show....

... for example, to HIDE the categories box, you would use the following declaration:

#categories {display:none;} 

.

4. FTP the stylesheet into the css folder of the template you are using. When that EZPage loads, the stylesheet will take effect and administer whatever declarations you have used in it.

Do I need to tell the main page to reference the new .css I made? Nothing was effected, I think I followed your steps correctly.

More specifically (Ignore all of the unloaded images.) Here is the link http://testmulberry.com/?main_page=page&id=16

I know their is a lot going on. Customer wants this exact page to be displayed. There are a few embedded css elements, I just don't really know which ones are safe to be removed without messing up the alignment of everything. It's supposed to look like this when I get all of the images loaded. http://www.mulberryfundraisers.info/..._Patterns.html

No, if you have named and saved the new stylesheet correctly, it will automatically be used.


Your page head is not calling for page16.css, so you must not have the file correct yet.

I created and saved the file as page16.css It is in my templates css folder. The only content of the file is

#categories {display:none;}


Is more needed? Thanks for helping.

I even tried with a page17.css and created a new EZ page (#17) with no content other than the words Test. With the same content as the other .css and the same thing is happening, the categories are not disappearing.

Do you currently have a file at /includes/templates/lite_red/css/page16.css?

Does your template have an /includes/templates/lite_red/common/html_header.php file? If so, what is the date on it? The page##.css capability was only added in v1.3.9something.

Yes.

The date it was created was 1/25/2011. (When I put the files on my server).
The template was copy written for 2009-2010. Could this be the problem?

I meant "the date in the head of the file"... if your version of html_header.php is not
@version $Id: html_header.php 15761 2010-03-31 19:31:27Z drbyte $
it will not have the line of code to handle ez-page stylesheets. Does your file have this if( statement following the $tmp_ statement?

  $tmp_pagename = ($this_is_home_page) ? 'index_home' : $current_page_base;
  if ($current_page_base == 'page' && isset($ezpage_id)) $tmp_pagename = $current_page_base . (int)$ezpage_id;
