Navigation Bar not showing up even with cat tabs on

Ok, I give up on this one. I've been slaving away all day and this is the last issue I can't make go away (but thanks to this awesome forum, I was able to resolve/correct/implement a ton of good stuff already!).

My Navigation Bar is nowhere to be found. I have the Catagory Tabs Menu turned on but still nothing :no: So right now my shop doesn't have a way for people to login or set up an account because there are no links for those things anywhere else.

This is probably a quickie answer for someone to answer but my brain is fried and could use some guidance :bangin:

:cheers: Many thanks! :cheers:

If not, have you looked at the HTML generated by Zen Cart to see if the Category tabs (and your nav bar) are being generated but not displayed, or not generated at all?

Also there is a disable header flag commented out at the top of the tpl_header.php file. Is there any chance that you might have accidentally enaled it?

Thanks for responding!

This is what the generated html shows:

<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->

and this is what the tpl_header.php shows in my_template/common folder:

Also, how do I get rid of the text 'Successful Installation' text?

Thank you so much!

<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="contentMainWrapper"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <!-- bof breadcrumb --> <div class="head">Home </div> <!-- eof breadcrumb --> <div class="centerColumn" id="indexCategories"> <h1 id="indexCategoriesHeading">Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.</h1>

and this is what the tpl_header.php shows in my_template/common folder:

<!--bof-header logo and navigation display--> <?php if (!isset($flag_disable_header) || !$flag_disable_header) { ?>

Also, how do I get rid of the text 'Successful Installation' text?

Thank you so much!
This HTML would suggest that your entire header and your left column are missing. Is this the case?

The "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution." is turned off by editing the text of HEADER_TITLE in your index.php file. If you have not already done so, you can create this by making a directory named includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME and copying includes/languages/english/index.php into it.

Hi Kuroi -

So sorry, I forgot to post that in the other post you were also helping me on solved this issue!! I should have updated this one...

But I do have the left column off on my Zen Cart because I have the left column from my website there in its place as the shop is only a part of the site. The shop looked odd with 2 left columns :yuck:

Thanks again for all your help!

This is probably a simple css issue. Im using the catagory tabs module "cat_tabs_V1.1a" It works great in IE. In Firefox not so good, it blows the whole page apart! I have deleted all references to #navCatTabs in the original css file as the instructions say. As usuall some expert help is always appreciated!

1.3.7Happily you're right that it's a simple CSS issue. Just add the following to your styleseheet> #contentMainWrapper {clear:both}

Kuroi,

It worked. Thanks so much!

Still have an issue with the right side in IE 6.0; the right side is extended including the header. Looks great in IE 7.0.

thanks for the help

This is because of the way that IE6 is interpreting the following block in your stylesheet.categorytabs.css> #navCatTabs ul {

width:100%;
margin:0;
padding: 0px 10px 0px 5px;
list-style:none;
}It's looking at the that width 100% and then adding 10px of padding to the right and 5px to the left extending your main wrapper by 15px. To resolve this, either remove the padding or (better) remove the width. Removing the padding will certainly work, but I don't have an easy way to test removing the width, but believe it would do the job.

Romoving the width did work.

Thanks Again!
