Hi - I like your template but I don't really want any sideboxes on the right hand side of the screen (or the left). Looking at the example site for your template can't all the information in the side boxes be accessed from the menus on the tabs at the top of the screen? - so could I turn off all the sidebixes in Admin and still get to everything from the top menu bar? Just trying to get a cleaner look and feel.

Sure, you can do that if you like.

First turn em all off, then in the stylesheet delete this section (this will get rid of the light grey section behind the sideboxes):

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg.gif) repeat-y 80% 0;
}

Then change .centerColumn's width from 73% to like 95% or so. Let me know how this works, because I haven't tried it myself.

Thanks for the info on how to turn off all the sideboxes....just one other question that may get me in alot of trouble...BUT......why is that you designed this template so the sideboxes would only ever be on the right hand side? Is it just too technically complex to have the option of left or right due to all the other snazzy stuff the template is doing? Don't shoot me please....

It's because of the way I wanted it, that's all. It will break if there were left sideboxes, so I prevented them from occuring. I could have designed it with only left sideboxes, but I didn't. Cause that's not what I designed.

I found the text in header.php but still would like help on putting a header image in place.

Okay, I must be blind!! I can't find the text "to change the color...." I looked in tpl_header.php and I do not see it. HELP!!! My eyes are bugging out! Thanks

Is it possible to have the drop menu only show 1 level for specific categories and 2 levels for other categories?

For example, I have the following categories...

Design Services
Website Hosting
Print Shop

I would like the first two to not show sub-categories when hovered, but have Print Shop show its sub-categories.

Nevermind! I realized what I needed to do. I just added a new menu option called services and manually inserted the categories that I don't want the sub-categories to show for.

Hi Jade - I tried this as you said and it does remove the grey bar from the right hand side of the center piece but it also removes the white background so you can see the stripped background come through. I think thats cause your content_bg.gif contains the white background and the grey column.

Am I right in saying that I'd need to create a new .gif that only had a white line in it? Also changing .centreColumns width doesn't seem to do anything. I actually was going to ask how to change the background of the main column to a different colour anyway.

Also how do I remove the text that says 'To change any of the site colors, open up...etc' and replace it with a header image? I would like a header image across the top and then I'll replace logo.gif with my own logo image too. Thank you.
