General questions about my site.

Hi, everyone

I am very happy with Zen cart thus far. I'm in the process of making my site utilitarian and clean. https://www.brillarmory.com

I'd like to remove the "Search" and "Who's online" boxes. I'd also like to edit the "Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in?" line. Despite my best research, I have not found a way to edit this.

Thanks for your time

stevesh:

Sideboxes are turned on and off in Admin - Tools - Layout Boxes Controller, and:

http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?166-how-do-i-change-the-welcome-guest-message

under that same admin area (tools) select developers toolkit, then scroll down and type in the phrase 'welcome guest' and select the appropriate options, the rest is self explanatory. You'll be able to edit the text via ftp.

The template that I use has orange text. How do I change it to red? When I hover over links, they become orange too. I would like to change the hover to red. Example:

Re: General questions about my site.

Hopefully someone will be able to give you a specific answer as I'm viewing on a Kindle right now, but, which browser do you use?
When using Firefox there is a browser add-on called Firebug. Install it and you can trace virtually all formatting and styling coding used on a website.
I would suggest that your search will take you to includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

I have checked out my stylesheet.css The template said that I can easily edit the colors and text there. I haven't been able to do so.

There's also another Firefox add-on, search for 'developers toolbar'. It'll do similar to Firebug and it'll let you play around with css on the screen in realtime just for your personal temporary view without effecting the view for the rest of the world.

Re: General questions about my site.

Great. Here's another problem... Instead of organizing my paragraphs and spacing, all of my text gets jumbled up into one big blob of text. Anyone know how to fix this? http://brillarmory.com/index.php?main_page=privacy
