[QUOTE=gunni;1341267]Do you mean the tagline like here where the telephone number appears ?[/QUOT
thank you for responding..
i would like to have the contact on the other side of where it says log in .. on the pink line...
thank you

left side should be done in stylesheet.css #tagline {text-align:left}
If you want the tagline to be at the same line of the search line, you should do it in the php file.

yes I know that.. I have been using zen cart for years.. but took a long break.. and i just got to learn the different parts of the header file in the commons folder..
i think this is the way it goes..

there are three navmain
the first one is for moblie phones
the second is for tablets and
the third part is for web ... correct?

If you mean for the css files so here it is:
responsive.css // is loaded on every page except the popup_image and popup_image_additional pages and
contain site-wide selectors that control the responsive HTML elements.
responsive_default.css // is loaded on by default where a mobile or tablet UA is NOT detected.
responsive_mobile.css // is loaded on mobile devices where a mobile UA is detected, it replaces the 'responsive_default.css' file.
responsive_tablet.css // is loaded on tablet devices where a tablet UA is detected, it replaces the 'responsive_default.css' file.

no ,,, i understand css files.. I already changed them.. I made the pink line on my header pink from dark grey... and smaller.. and I made the box title smaller also and purple.

i just want to ADD contact us in my header on the pink line...
i am in the tpl_header.php under the commons file.. the answer is there somewhere I am taking it apart using the blue fish editor program..

Line 128 - 133 in includes/templates/YOUR_RESPONSIVE_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php:

<?php  } else { ?>
<div id="navMain">
  <ul class="back">
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>

add this line:
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT; ?></a></li>

like this:

<?php  } else { ?>
<div id="navMain">
  <ul class="back">
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>

The contact us link will now show on desktop. It should already be in the 'responsive' mobile and tablet menu through /templates/tpl_modules_mobile_menu.php loading through the "menu" i class="fafa...

thank you so much.. I figured it out on my own but thank you so much.. if someone else needs it is here now. and I have a hard time explaining things. thank you again.

I do not by any means mean to change topics on a thread, but it is responsive classic related. Please move it if necessary.

When I did the upgrade to my cart from 1.5.5e to f, the way in which my logo displayed went from what it is supposed to be to displaying very small.

This is what I did:

I went into the file located a "/includes/templates/responsive_classic/common/tpl_header.php ". I removed from line 167 “, HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT”. This allowed the logo to actually display correctly (the correct size) again.

My main question:

Is this actually the most correct way to address the logo size or is this basically incorrect and there is a more correct way to do this?

Many thanks in advance for your time and answer.

It's for exactly these kinds of upgrade-issues that Clone a Template was created. I'd suggest downloading that plugin to make a *clone *of the responsive_classic template that you can customize for your site's use.

That way, when the next Zen-Cart version is released, an upgrade won't overwrite any changes (like above) that you've made.

BTW, rather than removing those definitions from the header-image's display, you can make a template-specific copy of /includes/languages/english/header.php (copying to /includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php) and then edit those two constants to reflect the size of your header-image.

Yep, those two items were added to 155f to fix a long-time problem with the logo not properly responding to the size set forth in the header.

Would it then be safe to say that if I was to put back what I took out of the file in "tpl_header.php" and make an adjustment instead to the "header.php" file, would that be a "more correct" way of resizing the logo size?

Any time you can avoid munging core files and simply change a setting in a file, that's the better way to go.

I hate to sound stupid, but, what file would you be considering a core file? Sorry, a bit new here.

Technically not core in this case but, core is generally considered any file that is not able to be easily overridden by the override system. For instance, the tpl_header.php file that you changed is an override of the Template Default version. In order to override the responsive_classic version, you would need to clone responsive_classic to something like MY_TEMPLATE. Then, when an upgrade is done, you don't lose any changes you made to the files as you have them in your personalized override template.

lat9 has an excellent chart that shows where you can use overrides to protect changes from overwrite on upgrade. Any time you can avoid changing a file by changing a setting, it's a good thing. Take a look at the chart and see if it makes a little more sense.

Hope i'm not off subject but with my 1.5.5 I have an issue. when I click on a category from the category list I get a 404 page even though the category is populated with products

You need to answer the posting tips and we can be of more help but, 404 generally means something is missing. Any debug files in your /logs directory?

I want to change the background ..see attached

When I make changes to stylesheet_colors.css file, changes dont reflect in the website. Where I am doing it wrong?

You could add this to your .css:
#mainWrapper {background-image: url(../images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover; background-position: center;}
