How to Add links to the NavMain Menu in storefront?

Hello Forum,

I'm a new Zenner, making small template changes so as to familiarize myself as to how the Zen Cart works.
A change I want to make for instance, is to add a text hyperlink to the upper Navigation Menu where 'Home' and 'Log in' are.
I found this handy article: http://www.kerrinhardy.com/2010/01/03/add-links-to-the-navmain-menu-in-zen-cart/
I performed the 5 prescribed steps but I can't seem to be able to add the link.
I can do it by modifying the **tpl_header.php **file in the template_default directory but that's **not **the way to do it.
The proper way to do it, it seems, is by the override method, which I supect, I'm not quite getting.
For instance, once I edited the above .php file, I'm supposed to save it to:
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/ (where CUSTOM represents the name of your current template folder)
That's the part I don't get because under my /includes/ folder I have:

/YOUR_TEMPLATE/...
/cherry_zen/...
/classic/...
/template_default/...

I thought that CUSTOM may have been the old moniker for YOUR_TEMPLATE and so I save the edited file there, but, as I said it's not working.
I also note that I have only 2 templates installed and available for selection in Admin, ie, cherry_zen and classic.
Should I then install the YOUR_TEMPLATE so that it's available for selection in Admin?

Thanks for any help in the right direction.

Do you have the Cherry Zen template selected in admin ? If so, your edited tpl_header.php file would go in includes/templates/cherry_zen/common.

Generally, CUSTOM and YOUR_TEMPLATE mean the same thing.

Bravo! .. issue solved .. thank you .. Paul.

Glad i found this! Made my latest change simple!!
One question though. I'm trying to add a banner below my header but would like it centered on the page.

How do I center it?

We'll need to know exactly what you mean by 'banner'. In Zencart, a banner is an advertising image. A link to your site would help, too.

I guess banner was a poor choice of words. I got it from Paypal.
Try this:
seriousoffroadproducts.com

Add to your stylesheet: #paypalcreditcardssidebox {text-align: center;}

Well I kinda got it.......

Hit the link above and you'll see what I mean.

Here's where I put it:

{text-align: center;} <script type="text/javascript...............

No, the code I posted goes in your stylesheet.css file.

There isn't a "paypalcreditcardssidebox" in my .css

The Ad/Banner is a script that is a simple cut and paste provided by Paypal.

The instructions on the PP site are simple enough.
select the box ad size, cut and paste onto your site, and that's all I did.

I have not made any changes to the css file.

stevesh:

Add to your stylesheet: #paypalcreditcardssidebox {text-align: center;}

Work with me here.

Okie-Dokie, I'll give a whirl.

Where in the stylesheet does it belong?

Maybe I'm not explaining this very well.

The script that I got from PayPal was not added to the .css file.
It was added to includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/tpl_header.php

None of the script mentions "paypalcreditcardssidebox"

Did you actually add the rule given to your stylesheet (anywhere)?
The only Paypal info appearing on your site is the sidebox, which has an id of #paypalcreditcardssidebox. If that is not what you are referring to, you will have to give more info on where it can be found.

I see in your view source ```html

On further inspection, it is the link image after those two scripts that is visible with scripts enabled; you would address that like```
#logoWrapper+script+script+a {margin: 0 0 0 10em;}
