Removing a side box

Hi,
I am working on a website www.selftrading.co.uk/store
I am using a template done by another company.

In the left coloumn there is a side box with an image for free delivery.
I am trying to remove it and it . I cannot find a corresponding box in Layout boxes controller. Is it hardcoded somewhere? If yes, can anyone please let me know which box to edit to change it.

This is the corresponding source code

 <td id="navColumnOne" class="columnLeft" style="width: 175px"><img src="includes/templates/classic/images/free_del.gif" width="180" height="133" alt="Free Delivery" border="0">

thanks in advance

Re: Removing a side box

It's not a sidebox. It's just an animated gig hardcoded into the navColumnOne table cell. You can just the delete the image tag.

Re: Removing a side box

As I can't see the code on your server I can only guess, and my best guess would be in the file includes/templates/classic/common/tpl_main_page.php if it exists or includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php otherwise.

Re: Removing a side box

Thank you,
It was in template_default.

I am new to zencart and is there any way I can learn which folders refers to what in Zen cart.
Thank you,

Re: Removing a side box

The catalog area of Zen Cart can be found in the includes directory, and initially there are three main areas to concentrate on: templates, languages and modules.

In general (though the lines blur a little) template files determine the look and feel of pages, module files (and classes) prepare the content that will go into the pages and language files define the specific words to be used.

My recommendaton would be to start by learning how to override each file (which the person from whom you have inherited this code clearly didn't understand!). There's a useful explanation in the wiki. Once you have this under your belt, much of the rest will start to fall into place naturally.
