hiya jade,

hope all is well...

again thanks a bunch for ur help, ur like a godess at this stuff, i feel like a charity receiving so much guideance.

I implemented everything u said and the drop down menus ended up been to wide resulting in the final button moving down on to a new line.

to resolve i undone the following back to 70em again:
You need to change 70em to 75em (two instances) in stylesheet_header_menu.css.

im sure u know my url off by heart by now but here it is again
www.kitchenandbedroominteriors.com/store

the side borders on the drop down menus seem to be wider than the side borders on the main part of the site. I have checked stylesheet_header_menu.css for any place to edit border size but could not see anywhere.

I know your probably laughing ur socks off at me for not been able to find it, again it will probably result in 1 of those things that takes me all day to fix n u would know what to change without even having to think about it lol

cheers

Colin

Change the 73em in your stylesheet_header_menu.css to 75em.

Put the word "home" back in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php like this:

define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');

That is why you have a blank menu space. That first menu item is the home link.

Remove the borders off of your logo. Crop your logo so it is JUST the logo, not any edges. You STILL have edges on the actual logo.

Fix this part of your stylesheet:

blue
#navMainWrapper {background:#6C99D9; }
#logoWrapperOuter {background:#fff;}
#navEZPagesTopWrapper {background:#6C99D9; }
#navCatTabsWrapper
#navBreadCrumb {background:#6C99D9; }
h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading {background:url('../images/sideboxleft-blue.gif') no-repeat top left; }
eof blue

everything in red should be gone.

If you don't want the grey striped image that I had under the menu, remove <div id="centerColumnOuter"></div>
from includes/templaes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php

I'm still sure there's more to fix, lol, but that will be closer.

Thanks!

Hey jade,

I think this is what you told me to do:

<div class="centerColumn" id="bestsellersDefault">
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_product_listing.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_product_listing.php');
</div>

When I tried this I only got the header of my site with no drop down menu. DId I do that right??

Let me look into it soon. I'll be busy tomorrow and Friday, but will look into it soon.

Yes, you can hide boxes with css. View the source of the page, and get the id of the box you want to hide.

Then in the css, you'd put this:

#indexHomeBody #idofBoxHere {display:none;}

Then on your account page, view the page source again, and get the id or class of the section you want to change there. If it says id="nameofsectionhere", you'd style it in the css with #nameofsectionhere {}. If it says style="nameofsectionhere", you'd style it with .nameofsectionhere {}

I just got around to try and make this work. I am not sure what the id would be. If I could figure it out on one I could prob. get it for the rest. Just not sure exactly where the page id would be.

Thanks Jade, I understand completely. I am going to take the best sellers link off the drop down menu for now. But if you need to see it, you can still follow the above link and the page will be active. I plan on going live within the next 2 days so when we figure out my last few issues I'll just take the site down for maintenance for a few minutes to get the issues fixed :) I just turned off the boxes I do not want on the front page for now.

Thanks so much! I was using the # as a comment (duh) - sorry for the dumb question - love the template!

The gray right bar is actually controlled by an image, content_bg.gif. You'll have to open the image and change it there. :)

Hi Jade,

Hope all is well...

I have followed all your instructions and all is good. I have made good progress today fixing up a few other things as well.

I took your advice on the logo and ended up having no side bars on my header. I couldnt find a quick fix for that so just made my logo width 100%, proper amatures solution i know but it will do the job :)

I have 1 last thing wrong with my site. Chances are thaat a lot of other people using the narrow header may have the same problem.

after changing the file stylesheet_header_menu.css switching the 2 instances of 70em to 75em results in the drop down menus spanning over 2 lines instead of 1 in internet explorer 7.

I done a bit of trial and error with the size and i think it was about 73.9 when it starts going wrong. One thing i noticed that may help with a solution i was nudjing it up by increments of 0.1 but could never get the drop down menus to cover the width of the page fully so is it a wrapper / border problem?

I tried changing the width to 100% and that also resulted in drop down menus over 2 lines...

Any Ideas?

Cheers

Colin
