How do I disable the index on cart page?

Help please

I am trying to strip down zencart to simply use as a shopping cart behind my existing website. I'm stuck on trying to disable the index (or whatever it is called) that has the links to home, my account, site map etc. I have shown these on the screen print attached.

I have worked out how to disable the header and footer, but disabling these also takes out the powered by ZenCart, tagline here, copywrite notice etc - I would like to keep those.

Any help would be appreciated

I'm using Zen Cart v1.3.8a

Thanks

Zencart is not designed to be "stripped down", nor to function as a back-end only.

It would be far, far easier to integrate your current site's information into zencart. To try the opposite, as you suggest, would involve a complete re-write of the software - not a very practical exercise...

Thanks fairestcape
I am not proposing to re-write the software, simply hide all the home page side bars etc and link directly into the catalogue from my web page.
I'm actually running 2 projects at the same time to see which is most effective;
1/ configure zencart to look like my current web site
and
2/ use my current website and link into zencart cart for the shopping cart function

anyway its a bit of a challenge to do either for a burnt out old telephone technician, but its all fun

Anyway I'm still keen to find out how to disable the index or whatever its called (the toolbar thingy that has home: my account: site map: links etc)

Admin/Configuration/Layout Settings... Define Breadcrumb Status, set to 0 (zero) might do it.

There are many settings in the admin that will be useful to you in this exercise, though as fairestcape says, it ain't worth the effort. ;-)

Without seeing your site it's difficult to know specifically to which menus you're referring. However, it sounds as though you are wishing to turn off the navMain in the header and the navSupp in the footer, and possibly the EZ-Pages menu if they're enabled.

The EZ-Pages menus can be most easily turned off via the Admin > Tools > EZ-Pages Manager page. The navMain and navSupp would need to be commented out in the tpl_header.php and tpl_footer.php files in your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common folder.

Although Zen Cart is designed to do the whole job, it is possible to use parts of it sitting behind other types of site. If you're site were primarily built in flash for example, but still want Zen Cart's powerful and proven checkout features, and at my agency we've done that. But generally we find that bringing the whole site into Zen Cart is the best approach for long-term maintainability.

Thanks all who replied

I commented out the navMain and navSupp in the tpl_header.php and tpl_footer.php files in the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common folder and that solved my problem

Editing template default files is not recommended. You risk losing your changes when you upgrade. Much better is to use the template over-ride system described here.
