AAARRRGGG!!! EZpages edit for header and footer menus

Using fresh install 1.3.8a...I have been all over the forum for the past 2 days looking for answers, so sorry in advance if this has been answered already. I'm also a newbie at this whole EZpages thing.

I have a header menu and a footer menu that was edited/added using EZpages (I'm assuming since most of the template install was uploaded via a .sql "patch"). On my footer, I'd like to remove 1 link and the header, out of 7 links, remove 3 links. I have tried using the Developers Tool Kit as well to look for those links to change them...all without any luck. Please, please, please can anyone help guide me in the correct direction? Can you edit via EZpages? or via myPHPAdmin? or other route?

Thanks in advance for any help/guidance...

Found it!!! Yeah!!! Nevermind folks...thx!

OK, so now that I figured it out, and made the changes, I now can't find where to add "text-align: center;" in the css file to make it all center (both for the header and the footer) instead of being on the left. Help? :shocking:

Not quite sure I follow you, but if you are unfamiliar with HTML, go into Tools > Define Pages Editor and from there select HTML Editor from the drop down menu, now go back to your EZ Pages editing and lo and behold, you have a WYSIWYG interface for editing where you can align the text the same as you would using MS Word for example

Hey Twaddle,

Sorry I'm unclear. The header and footer menus were a template originally uploaded via FTP and mostly via myPHPadmin (a sql patch). So the header and footer menus were setup via EZpages through the database. What I'd like to do is have them centered in the middle of the footer and header instead of on the left side. So, I believe that is changed via the css file (for both the header and the footer). I do not know where to look in the css file (I sux at the whole css programming thing) to put the "text-align: center;" statement to get them centered. Hope that helps clear up my idiocy :frusty:

I wish I had something to show you, but its on a personal computer right now while I try to get it to work.

Thanks!

Hmmm. Likewise I'm not really following what you mean, do you have a link?

This is the top menu...its suppose to be centered...Home Page, Specials, All Products, Contact Us is suppse to be centered between the Inforamtion box and the girl...not to the left...its teh same on the bottom footer menu as well...ideas?

Where did you get your template? What is its name - we might recognize it and have a clue about the setup.

Since we can't see it live, you need to get Firefox and its Web Developer and Firebug extensions. They are some of our main standard tools for diagnosing and editing websites.

Hey gjh42,

Thanks for responding. I finally found the template demo site:

http://osc.template-help.com/free_zen_cart_template/

My site is on a personal computer that I am using as a production "server". So I can't give a link yet. Let me know what you think!

Thanks again for everyones help!!

I had a hunch that screen-snippet looked like Template Monster. I'm afraid you are largely on your own, as TM commonly makes major changes to many functions and files, and we don't necessarily know what will work for one of their templates.

Since the link actually shows the template live, we may be able to offer CSS help, though not code help.

OK then, well, thanks for the help anyway! I got it for free via Bing, so I didn't realize it was through Template Monster. I guess I can ask them for help/advice then. Glad to know its through them! I appreciate it!

Find in stylesheet_tm.css, and change/add the items in red:```
.menu {background:#3EA7C6; font-size:11px; color:#000000; text-align: center;}
.menu ul {margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; line-height: 33px}
.menu ul li {display: inline; background:url(../images/menu_li.gif) top left no-repeat; padding:13px 21px 14px 25px; text-transform:uppercase; font-weight:bold; color:#000000;}
.menu ul li.li_none {background:none;}
.menu ul li a {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;}
.menu ul li a:hover {text-decoration:underline;}

You are not likely to get help from TM about modifying their templates, or fixing the functions they didn't think you needed.

Wow Glenn!

Your awesome! Thank you soooooo much! I wish I had that knoweldge. :smartalec:

Is it the same for the footer as well? I tried it but it's not showing up correctly.

The original is:

Home | Home Page | Specials | New Products | All Products | Reviews | Contact Us | FAQ
Copyright © 2010 Zen Cart. Powered by Zen Cart Privacy Notice

I'm trying to make it look like the following:

Home | Specials | All Products | Contact Us
Copyright © 2010 Zen Cart. Powered by Zen Cart
Privacy Notice

So, the EZpages allowed me to remove the links, but its all left side again....

I'l leave you alone after the footer...I promise! :D

Thank you! :hug:

Again, you rock!

Actually, I'd like to remove that Privacy Notice link as well...it's already under the Information box anyway. Much cleaner without it...

That menu is controlled in part by```
.footer .right {
float:right;
width:100%;
}

stylesheet_tm.css (line 107)

I would suggest looking around there for relevant rules. Time to try out the web dev tools.

The privacy link is probably coded in /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_footer.php, or a file called by it.
Some things around there are in tpl_main_page.php.

Who are you?!?! WOW! Thank you very much Glenn! My new idol! :clap:

You are #1 in my book. No matter what anyone else here in the forum says about you, I don't believe them :laugh: kiddin!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

P.S. Did I forget to thank you? :flex:
