How does one delete "HEADER_SALES_TEXT" from beneath the header?

Tried deleting several snippets -- only to lose the entire page. :)

[SirenK]

Okay forgive the multiple posts (I still can't figure out how to edit existing posts).

I figured out the reason behind my shifting right column. It appears that my logo is causing this to happen. I tried setting the tagline to 0% but that doesn't seem to help. Is there a size limit on the logo? And why does it only break IE6. Any ideas on how to fix this (and the problem below) is much appreciated!!!!

P.S - What kind of dog dig you get Jade? I'm a huge animal lover!

Anyway, I got the new images to display, however when you roll over them they shift up. This is acceptable for IE7 and Firefox I suppose (though I'd prefer they didn't) but in IE6 it looks like crap. IE6 is also adding more red below which makes the tabs appear to be floating in the middle of red, which looks bad.

Thanks so much for all the help and patience!!!

Try this: Go to includes/languages/english/cherry_zen/header.php, and remove this text: Your logo could be wider here, Sales Header Text Could Be here, Or a Banner Image, or any combination of the three.

Thanks, SirenK. Unfortunately, that bit of code isn't there in that file.

LOL.

It's so frustrating! When I "view source" I can see exactly what needs changed -- but I can't find the correct file (the header sales text).

I also want to change the alt for the logo. It now reads "powered by zen cart --- blah, blah", but I can't find the right file in which to do it!

Well, I figured out the tpl_box_default issue. I just saved a version from the main zen cart program to the cherry zen folder.

BUT NOW THE IMAGE DOESN'T FIT THE SIDE BAR. Help!

Can someone tell me how to edit a previous post? I feel bad posting as I figure things out and then putting up a new post...

And I still can't seem to figure out the right column problem. If you look at this in IE7 and IE6, you can see how IE6 just wrecks everything (i wont even get into the fact that ie6 doesn't seem to like the fold out menu... *sigh* )

Thanks so much for all the help and patience!!!

If the rollovers look different, then you didn't create new images that are exactly like the old ones (but with different fonts). Make sure they are the same height/width/etc.

The IE issues are probably margins and padding for the fold out menu... I bet IE sees that section as too wide, so it wrecks everything.

Since you're using a fixed width site, change this section of your css:

#nw {
	width:990px; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
	max-width:990px; /* prevents the main content from getting wider than 1300px in sites other than IE */
	min-width:850px; /* this prevents the main content from getting smaller than 1000px in browsers OTHER THAN IE. You can make this as small as 800px, BUT any smaller than that, and the top header menu will break into two lines. Also, if you make this width 800px, you will need to make sure your product image on the product info page is no wider than 190px */
	}

/* IE only. Controls Width of Site and Main Content*/
* html #nw {
	width:expression((d=document.compatMode=="CSS1Compat" ? document.documentElement : document.body) && (d.clientWidth > 990? "990px" : d.clientWidth > 1048? "80%" : d.clientWidth < 1048? "800px" : "80%")); /* this prevents the site from getting smaller than 1000px or wider than 1300px in IE */
	}

to this:

#nw {
	width:990px; /* main site width; if you'd prefer a fixed width site, enter the width in px here. */
	}

I don't think the logo is the issue.

We adopted a stray, she is a Schnauzer/Poodle mix, she looks more schnauzer than poodle. Not curly at all. And she's much bigger than usual "Schnoodles" at about 46 lbs. I'll have to post a pic soon, or change my avatar. She's a great dog, estimated to be about 4 years old, spayed, housebroken, and crate trained. She's super sweet, and loves people. The only issues we have is that she and our 12 year old cat are still getting used to each other, and she's run away once (she's got a nose like a hound - but thankfully we have a collar with our phone number on it, and she's microchipped, and someone called us within 10 minutes). Now that makes 7 pets in our house... 3 fish, 2 aquatic turtles, 1 dog, 1 cat. If it were all up to me, I'd add a another dog, another cat, a bird, some sort of rodent, and even a pet snake. I love all animals, but each one takes some time to convince my hubby. And anyway, then I'd really have no time to myself.

In tpl_header.php, just remove the tagline section, if you're not going to use it.
<div id="tagline"><?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?></div>

Change this section:

h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading {
	background: #6b2b12;
	}

to this:

h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading {
	margin:0 0 50px 0;
	}

Jettrue, THANK YOU! This is a great template -- perfect for those of us just learning how to tweak code.
