Questions for a good start :)

Hi there,

It has been only 3-4 days since I discovered ZenCart, and this is my first post :) However, I have a customization-mania (you should see my Linux desktop) and I can't help diving into php/css files although I have never used them before...

As expected, I have questions... Please forgive me if these are already answered. I am reading the Wiki and forum history, but it takes time to get saturated to the content :wacko: I will appreciate any full/partial answers a lot!!!

• I managed to put a picture to the background (the left/right blank spaces) but Zen Cart tiles it. Is there a way to avoid it? And also can I put a fixed (anchored?) image that stays put (as in http://www.possets.com/zen-cart/)

• How can I get rid of the links on the top of the default template (just below the header)?

• Is there a way to use the century gothic font?

Well, that's all for now :) But I am sure I will have tons more! Gotta keep on reading :smartalec:

Thanks a lot in advance...

As you could easily see for yourself if you had the Firefox Web Developer extension (or maybe you do:), the fixed non-tiled background image is pretty straightforward:

Body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: georgia, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 70%;
	color: #000000;
	background-color: #ffffff;
	background-image: url(../images/possetsgirl800w.jpg);
	background-attachment: fixed;
	background-position: -50px bottom;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
	}

The links are the Categories-Tabs menu, which you can turn off in admin > Configuration > Layout Settings.

You can use any font you have on your computer (see the font-family above), but if the end user doesn't have it installed on their computer, they will not see that font. Font-family lets you specify a group of fonts for the browser to try in order; end with serif or sans-serif so there is always guaranteed to be something of your general type to fall back on.

You seem to indicate that you are not familiar with CSS. In that case, you can find a lot of good info at w3schools.com (for PHP also).

And welcome to Zen Cart!

Wow, thank you for the quick and the detailed answer! I installed the Firefox extension, it will teach me A LOT!
