Hate to bump this old post, but I wanted to update with new information. I needed to move the "navMain" links to the "EZPages" links location (below the header)..
Turns out that moving the navMain links to the EZPages links section is only part of the solution. I found I needed to add a new ID to my stylesheet to make the links play nice together. So I updated my tpl_header.php file to include a new container for my consolidated menu as follows:
Code:
<?php
/**
* Common Template - tpl_header.php
*
* this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
* example: to override the privacy page<br />
* make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
* copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_header.php<br />
* to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
* <br />
* $flag_disable_header = true;<br />

?>
<?php
// Display all header alerts via messageStack:
if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
echo $messageStack->output('header');
}
if (isset($_GET['error_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['error_message'])) {
echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($_GET['error_message']));
}
if (isset($_GET['info_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['info_message'])) {
echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['info_message']);
} else {
}
?>

<?php } ?>
I added the "navConsolidated" ID to my stylesheet. I put my menu background image here, and removed the background attributes from the "navMain" and "EZPages" sections of the stylesheet.
Here's my stylesheet entries that I used to get my consolidated top menu playing nice together..
Code:
#navMainWrapper {
display: none;
}
#navConsolidated {
background-image: url(../images/TopToolbarBackground.png);
height:36px;
background-position: bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #383E44;
color: #383E44;
font-weight: bold;
}
#navEZPagesTop {
margin: 0.5em;
padding: 0.5em 0.3em;
float: right;
}
#navMain ul {
margin: 0em;
padding-left: 0.3em;
list-style-type: none;
}
#navMain ul li {
display: inline;
}
#navMain ul li a {
margin-top: 0.5em;
padding-top: 0.5em;
padding-right: 1.5em;
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: left;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Hope this is useful to someone else.. I'm sure the experts here will let me know if I've gotten any of this wrong..
So far it is all working well..
