Hi Anne I really like this template thank you. I have a stupid question I can not figure out or it to late in the night. How in the world do you change the mega menu link color. Also the sidebox color. Thank You in advance, like I said it's late and my mind is burned out tonight.

I am happy that you like the template. If you post a link to your site I can take a look ;)

Thanks,

Anne

Change the sidebox background color in stylesheet_betterCategoriesEzInfo.css.

Not sure exactly which links in the mega menu you want to change, but look in stylesheet_mega_menu.css. I would recommend using firebug to find which line of the stylesheet needs to be edited.

Turn off the centerboxes in admin--index listing

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks again Anne for all your help. One question and I will go away.

Where the new, featured, specials boxes were, now is a blank white space. How would I get rid of that.

Hi Anne disregard what I wrote last. My question is how can I get rid of the black at the bottom of my site where the ip address is. I assume that is part of the header, but how can I lower the footer or change it's color. Thanks again

I will go away after this for sure,

It looks like there is a problem with your tpl_header.php file as the closing </div> for the header wrapper is not present.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne you may want to take a look at the template upload. I haven't change anything within that file so if the closing </div> for the header wrapper is missing you may want to check it. I added the closing </div> to the bottom of the file and the problem went away.
Thank you

One more thing when I try to validate my site HTML it tell me

Sorry! This document cannot be checked.

     Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line         **7**         it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as         utf-8         (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified         Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the         character encoding indication.       

   The error was:          utf8 "\xA0" does not map to Unicode

Any idea's on this..... Thank you again

No, I just checked again and there is no missing </div> from the header file.

Anne if I add the original tpl_header.php file back it does the very something I originally need help. That's very strange then.

Thanks again Anne for all your help. One question and I will go away for good.

When I switched off the new, featured, specials boxes from showing on my home page, now there is a blank white space. How would I get rid of that.

The problem is not in the template demo:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos/index.php?main_page=index&template_switch_id=cambridge_pro

If you do not want to use the home page tabs you can un-install this module, or use a display none to hide the styles for it.

Thanks,

Anne

I have read the readme.html file several times but I cannot find instructions to change the tpl_mega_menu. php. Could you please tell me what installation step that would be helpful in resolving my problem.

Excellent template and, as always with your work, the documentation is superb. There's one change I'd like to make and, so far, my efforts have resulted in me just screwing it up. I'd like a login link at the upper right like you have in your Bristol Lace template. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the includes/templates/cambridge_pro/common/tpl_header.php file, replace this:

    <?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
   <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a> | </li>

<?php
  } else {
   if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
     <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
        <?php } } ?>
</ul>
</div>

        <?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
   <?php }?>

</ul>
</div>



<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display-->

with this:

<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">

<?php }?>
</ul>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display-->

And in the stylesheet.css file remove the display:none; that is on the navMain ul. You may have to do some css adjustments, moving the styles from the #navMain1 group to the #navMain group.

Thanks,

Anne
