Hello All,

Just was hired with a company that has an established ecommerce site and I am learning the ins and outs. For whatever reason,
the menu is not where its supposed to be as if someone altered the css placement? Is the fix getting access to the css and just moving it with an absolute position or is it something having to do with the browsers?

Thanks,
Matt

Re: Newbie

Sorry, I have no idea what you're asking. Could you provide a URL for the site and specific questions about the styling ?

The Nav Box is placed itself over existing content. It needs to be moved to a proper location but not sure why it was fine before and now its off?

Re: Newbie

You've got your column-left width set to 0 and your (unused) column-right width set to 100px. You need to (1) set your column-left width to 150px and disable your unused column-right.

Re: Newbie

What css file did you see that? It seems to only be working in chrome and not ie or firefox?

Re: Newbie

The left and right columns' width and activation are admin settings.
Configuration > Layout Settings >
Column Left Status - Global
Column Right Status - Global
Column Width - Left
Column Width - Right

We can see the dimensions with developer tools like Firefox's Firebug, and get a lot of other information by looking at view source. Your Template Monster template is antiquated with its spacer table cells (10-15 year old technology), and I wonder if it would work on a reasonably up-to-date version of Zen Cart. I see a clue that your ZC may be very, very old and thus insecure. Your first important task may be to upgrade to at least v1.3.9h, preferably v1.5.0, for security. There is lots of info in the forum.

Re: Newbie

Ok thanks. Now, how do I upgrade? Is this complicated? Trying to learn as I go about this program.

Re: Newbie

I have a feeling that your ZC is so old that it will be easier to essentially rebuild the template look (or update that as well) on a fresh install of v1.5.0, transferring your database to keep the customers, products, etc. Read the tutorials about upgrading; it can be intimidating the first time, so practice with a copy of your site, never the real thing.
