Help with my logo banner!!!!!

Some suggestions,

#1. Find some tools to help yourself for easy the works for the stylesheet
--- 1a. You can follow the link in my signature
--- 1b. refer to the pinup topic link: Favorite Tools of the Trade

#2. Don't use the classic template directly
Now, you are using the default demo template - classic.
It is not wise to use it directly for your add on and modifications, it will be over wirte in the future upgrade. And you create troubles for yourself.

For me I will not use or touch the default installed templates which are the template_default and the classic. I also do this for the default installed files, unless it is necessary.
But I use them as the debug tools. Every time I have trouble, I will use or switch to them to compare with my templates and files which are trouble and problems.

Suggest you to use your own template and it is easy and fast.
The steps,

1. copy the classic template directory to a new template directory, called
   includes/templates/classic_my

2. and modify the file, in your new template, for your own use
   includes/templates/classic_my/template_info.php

$template_name = 'Classic Contemporary Green';

3. For example, to read as

$template_name = '[b]My[/b] Classic Contemporary Green';

It is only for example, you can change it to whatever you like.
(Note: Only change the text inside the two quotes ' ' )
And it will show up in the admin's Template Selection as a new template's title for selection.

Then within a minute or two and after the above steps, you can clone a template for your own use. And it will not be overwrited in the upgrade for it is in your own override directory.

And you have a new template and the path is:
includes/templates/classic_my

Hope this helps. :)

Ok on one thing but not sure the path on this..... Next question the two side boxs that says Information and more information the text is blue I would like to change color on them, how do I do that......

You said....... You may try, put the code below to the end of your stylesheet.
Of course it just for example, style it for your taste.

Code:
#informationContent a, #moreinformation a {
color: #41533C;
}

#informationContent a:hover, #moreinformation a:hover {
color: red;
}
Please Help.
Thank you and God bless

Joseph

Did you tried that? :smile:

I had tried in my remote test, and it worked.

If you only want one color for the links inside the two sidiboxes.
Then you only need

#informationContent a, #moreinformation a {
color: #41533C; /* change to the color and style you like! */
}

However, if you want the links will change color while mouse hove on it,
then you also need the second one.

#informationContent a:hover, #moreinformation a:hover {
color: red;  /* change to the color and style you like! */
}

Yes it worked, thank you so much...... I have a couple more question for you. Do you see the gap between my banner and my first side box...how do I move up my side box to meet the banner.....second. When you click on the one sample product in my cart it brings up a side box called shopping cart (more) I need to make that text white like the others. it is dark green......... Ok one more if you would.....How do I set up paypal....Thank you and God bless you.

The banner you mentioned may be we call it the header. :smile:
But under it has a Categories Tabs there. It only hidden for the background is white and the font is white also.

If you don't want it, go to Admin => Configuration => Layout Settings and disable it. And it will move up the contents under it.

Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF 1

[QUOTE=classact;283003]second. When you click on the one sample product in my cart it brings up a side box called shopping cart (more) I need to make that text white like the others. it is dark green......... Ok one more if you would.....[quote]
Look at your stylesheet, there is a section

/*sideboxes*/
.columnLeft {}

h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a,
h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
	font-size: 1em;
	color: #ffffff;
	}
.....

You can made adjustments to it for the sideboxes.

Some suggestions, please slow down a bit! :P
Don't rush and made all the modifications at onetime especially for the template.
In my view it is not the most important, You have many chances to do so later on.

You should first setup a demo store for yourself and test run all the basic functions and operations. It can be run even in your local pc.

It is better first to familiarize all the environments and the basic concepts, test virtual buy and sell with your demo shop. This will only spend some times, mouse clicks and nothing lost. Otherwise, you will lost hair for the hurry. And may have chances to pay the price in your shop and lost customers. :smile:

Praise the Lord!!!!!! I am back on line...no more error message

Copy the following file and save it to your override directory:
includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

And in the newly saved file:
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php

about line #10 -#14

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart!');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');

Change it to:

// page title
define('TITLE', 'YOUR SHOP!');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'YOUR TAGLINE FOR YOUR SHOP');

Note: Only modify the text inside the two quotes **' ' ** and don't change the others.

Before you make this modifification. You should read the requirements of copyright for the use of Zen Cart.
Your site still using the image files from the stock template. To change the above now, it may not appropriate. :smile:

and do you know how to link my header links(home, products, contact us) to go to the right location..... Thank you and God bless
As discussed in previous msgs, it need additional works and not only modify the files of Zen Cart. At least you need to slice the image into images map first and then prepare to link them to your links.

Need lots of help loading my csv file (excel file) with my product to my cart.... easy way 1,2,3, if there is such a thing
There is a mod, and the support link - Easy Populate support

It should be done by the help of graphic applications for the web.
