I've just downloaded this template and replaced the main logo with a logo the same size; when I remove the sales text line, I'm leaving the quote marks, but the whole layout shifts upward. How can I fix this?

A link or non-linked text address to your site will help.

If you remove elements from the header you may need to adjust the positioning of the remaining elements.

If you post a link to your site, I can take a look.

I am looking to replace the images and links in the slider, but the relevant code does not appear in the define_main_page text. How can I access this code? I can see that I can edit tpl_home_slider.php, but in doing so, do I mess up the configuration at all?

Sorry for the mistake in the readme. If you want to just add your slides, the easiest way is to just name your images sldie1.jpg, slide2.jpg, slide3.jpg, slide4.jpg and slide5.jpg and upload them to includes/templates/bentley_classic/images. If you need to edit the code to add more images, etc. it is in the tpl_home_slider.php file.

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you for such a great design and easy to setup instrcutions. I'm stuck on just one change. I added my new images to the slide show. However I cannot figure out where to enter the new URL for each new slide image. I followed the instructions but the define_main_page define statement I was looking for was not there. If you would point me to the right file to change the URLs I would appreciate it. This is one of my last changes before final testing.

Thank you again for a great looking template.

I am sorry for the mistake in the readme file. I have this on a list for a future template package update. You need to edit the includes/templates/bentley_classic/common/tpl_home_slider.php file.

I am working on a site for a friend overseas and she wanted to use this template. It's a great template BTW. I am not familiar with the new styles and have a couple of questions.

1. I changed the colour of the footer and the footer image but I seem to have lost the sides somehow. The footer only displays the width of the columns now. Where to go to correct this. When I followed the instructions and turned off the IP address in the footer it also added white space below the footer. Can I eliminate the white?
2. How to I reduce the white space above the top horizontal menu or remove the menu it entirely? I did see the instruction file on how to edit the text of the menu.
3. How do I turn off the slider on the main page and if I do will that cause display problems for the side boxes?

I cannot post the URL as the site is throwing an error that reveals too much. I don't have access to fix it. I have attached a screen shot.

TIA
Carol

Thank you, that did the trick.

1. I can't really help you with the footer until I can see a live site.

2. To remove the mega menu you can change this line in the stylesheet_mega_menu.css from:

#mega-wrapper {width: 980px;margin:0 auto;display:block;position: relative;z-index:9999;top:-85px;}

to:

#mega-wrapper {width: 980px;margin:0 auto;display:block;position: relative;z-index:9999;top:-85px;display:none;}

3. You can add this to the bottom of your stylesheet.css file:

#home-banner{display:none;}

Thanks,

Anne

Fantastic. I was able to remove the slider and mega menu. However, the search box that was in line with the mega menu is still displayed. Where would I find that?

I have also tried to find where to modify the logo position. I searched stylesheet.css but couldn't find any reference to logo.png. I would like to move it down a bit.

Here is a link to the site now that I have fixed the error. http://cardbuddydesigns.com/cardbuddydesigns/shop/
The only change I made to the footer was the background colour in the stylesheet_footer_menu.css - the colour on the first line {clear:both;margin:0;background: #90602f
I replaced the image of the scallop edge to match the colour. I don't know how the sides changed to display white.

Thank you again,
Carol

You can turn the header search box on/off in admin--tools--layout boxes controller.

You can add positioning to the logo in the stylesheet.css file #logo.

Changing the color of the footer background would not cause it to change width. I would look to other changes that you made.

Thanks,

Anne

I have read through the css files - and the readme - but I cannot see where the body tag id's are being generated. I realise I can override them, but is it possible to go to the source?

The body tag id's are generated in the php files.

Ah. I see. It's a zencart thing. Thanks for your reply. And for the very fine template.

I've been looking for the file with title and meta tags. The Zen Cart file is meta_tags.php. The title I would like to change is the title that displays in the browser tab. I see the code from the index.php page but I cannot find the file that defines the title and meta tags:

Could you point me in the correct direction to make changes?

Thank you
