Re: How do i remove these banners, footnotes, and Nav's?

Have you read through the wiki? It explains all you need to get started
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
to answer your question though look in your admin/tools/banner manager, click the green dots to make them red then refresh the page of your shop front, you will see the banner has gone. You can of course create your own banners to use as you wish, the ones you currently have are all just samples.

ok so be a bit more specific about what you have done/want doing as now all I see from your link is a successful installation of ZC message and footer links to ZC. Have you edited your stylesheets?

Re: How do i remove these banners, footnotes, and Nav's?

under tools/Define Pages Editor/ i cleared all the codes on those pages. i deleted all products, im basically trying to clear out everything and work with a blank stylesheet. then just use all the frameworks that i have on my website.

have you installed just the zc files (the content of the zc folder) or did you upload the containing folder with the files inside it?
yoursite.com/all-the-zc-files
or yoursite.com/the-1.5-folder/all-the-zc-files

Re: How do i remove these banners, footnotes, and Nav's?

It's a bad idea to delete the Zen Cart stylesheet completely. You can't just apply your main site stylesheet, as its rules will be meaningless to Zen Cart's pages.
What you need to do is take all of your main site style rules and apply their property declarations to the appropriate Zen Cart equivalent elements.

And before you start doing anything, do not use the /classic/ folders for your custom template; create a new template following the instructions in the tutorials, and apply your customizations to that. All /classic/ files will be erased and replaced when you next upgrade to a new version.

picandnix - There is a complete ZC installation there, but with no stylesheet whatsoever.

The OP currently has a rudimentary shop in another subfolder.

basically you need to start by replacing the stylesheet you deleted before you can do much else.

Re: How do i remove these banners, footnotes, and Nav's?

Start here: How do I create a new Custom Template?
You may need to re-upload the /classic/ files and folders from a freshly unzipped Zen Cart fileset so you have clean files to copy and work from.
You might want to start with a copy of the /template_default/css/ stylesheet (note: it will give a very "colorful" page when you first install it:) rather than undoing some of the /classic/ customizations before adding your own.

Re: How do i remove these banners, footnotes, and Nav's?

Sorry, i cant edit my post. i found out how to remove the "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart® E-Commerce Solution." from my page using this artice https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=129

If i delete the text: ```php
// This section deals with the "home" page at the top level with no options/products selected
/Replace this text with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'/
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart® E-Commerce Solution.');
} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {
// This section deals with displaying a subcategory
/Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'/
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart® E-Commerce Solution.');
}

Re: How do i remove these banners, footnotes, and Nav's?

It looks like you have used the previous configure.php files in your "restoration", or somehow messed them up, and links are pointing to /shop/ instead of /zen-cart-v150-full-release-12302011/. Anyway, this /zen-cart-v150-full-release-12302011/ is a bad foldername to use for a live site. You should rename the folder to something simple like /shop/ before running the install.

Re: How do i remove these banners, footnotes, and Nav's?

You can delete text in a define, but do not ever delete a whole define - that will just make the page messier.

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart® E-Commerce Solution.');

can be

define('HEADING_TITLE', '');
but not
define('HEADING_TITLE', );

Well, you need to do something because, as of right now, anybody can click that link and begin installing Zen Cart.

Re: How do i remove these banners, footnotes, and Nav's?

i cant get my files to be under /shop, they always come out as /zen-cart-v150-full-release-12302011
Just because the package unzips by default to that foldername doesn't mean you have to leave it like that. Go into cPanel and change /zen-cart-v150-full-release-12302011/ to /shop/ before you run zc_install. If you have tried to do this and gotten an error or "not allowed" message, there is probably some setting your host has that is preventing it, and you need to ask the ones who know how your server is set up.
