Help I'm trying to get rid of the header nav bar search form and the 'Home' link so as to leave a empty red header bar. Could someone advise me how I would go about doing this?

I tried commenting it out of the tpl_header.php file but it doesn't work. It just displays /* and */ before and after the nav bar. What else could I do?

Look at https://www.supremefoods.com.au/store to see what I am talking about.

Thx,

It looks like your site is down. Let me know if you still need help with this.
Yeah I forgot, I'm remaking it cause of that red line through the header I have in IE. I'll ask again when it's reuploaded.

Log into your admin and then go to Tools>Layout Boxes Controller

and then disable *sideboxes/search_header.php. *This should get red of the search form. I don't have a solution for the Home link.

No, that is css code for hiding sections.

In html, you use <!-- before and --> after.

Ok another question. I noticed under INFORMATION, it lists Shipping, Privacy, Conditions of Use, About Us, Gift Certificates, Discount Coupons and Unsub Newsletter.

My question is, in the About Us, it indicates the text to change is on the define page not found page. Is there anyway I can change that directly to About Us? I also need to add more pages, but don't know where to name them specifcally or how to place them so they show up under information.

I also just noticed that under MY ACCOUNT, the LOGIN area is missing...anyone know how to fix that?

Again the site I am working with is https://www.ausableflyrods.com

Thanks!
Julie

To get the about us page to show up in the Define Pages Editor with the rest, you have to use the About Us Page mod in the download section.

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=182

Now, you can also add pages via the "Tools", "Ezpages" option, and follow the instructions in my readme.txt file (#7) about how to get them to show up in the dropdown menu. If you add the "About Us" that way, you can just remove the about us section I added in includes/template/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_drop_menu.php

It looks like the "Login" link is missing for the same reason your "HOME" link is missing... because you removed it from a language file? That is not the best way to get rid of a link, because then you remove the text from everywhere else it belongs.

thx that worked a treat.

Do you mean the page background color? You can add a background image to the body tag.

Yes, but what If I want different images at both sides and keep the main bg color black?

Another question; how do I disable the tagline? I found it in this topic somewhere but can seem to find it again?

It went something like this

tagline { disable }
font-size:1.3em;
line-height:1em;
text-align:center;
padding-top:15px;

#tagline {display:none}

As far as the image thing you're trying to do, I'm really not visualizing it, and would need to see an example image.

I basically got 2 images;

and another one image 2 to add tot the sides of the main

see screenshots

I don't have any real good options for that. I would instead come up with one image that can repeat nicely, and set that as a background image.

Alright thanks!

Sorry to be such a burden, but I got a few more questions.

You know where the headerborder.gif is located right. I have this flash music player I want to place there instead of the image(You can see the player at https://www.smileysmart-grow.nl/index.html)

How can I do this?

jettrue,

THANKS FOR THE AWESOME TEMPLATE!!!! :hug:

I've have spent the past few days reading this thread and have put alot of the information to use for the "facelift" I'm gonna give my website!

I'm not done yet, but take a peek at my progress so far!

I still have a few changes to make:

1. extending logo area - remove the white boxes on the sides
2. redesign then reset the background image to the centerbox only so it begins under the last "navbar?" and then my sidecolumn color comes back!
3. New logo.These should be pretty easy since most of my issues have already been addressed here!

Alright, I put the code for the flash player in tpl_main_page.php
between *<div id="centerColumnOuter"></div>, *but the player would always remain on top(issues with dropdown menu) and start over if you go to a other page.

Now I would like to place it in the right sidebox, but how?

And another quick question,

I would like to move the logo a little bit down(See: http://www.smileysmart-grow.nl/index.php ) How to do this?

A zillion thanks in advance!

Alright for the ones have a similiar problem, install this mod
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_52&products_id=174

It basically allows you to add as many sideboxes as you want.

Anyway I only have 1 problem now. If you go at my site http://www.smileysmart-grow.nl/index.php. You see the logo doesn't fit well, I'd like to move it a little bit down but how?

Sorry I've been slow with my replies.

You can try adding

padding-top:3px to #logoWrapperOuter

As for the music... I'm going to be brutally frank here and say it was extremely annoying. In my opinion, music on an e-commerce site is a death sentence. I couldn't wait to close your page after trying to figure out the issue so I could stop hearing the beginning of Could You Be Loved. It's especially annoying when the music is programmed to start automatically, and it re-starts on every single page click. Now, if there is some way to set it so it only plays if a person presses the play button, and so that it doesn't keep restarting, I'd say go for it. But people should be able at this point to choose what they listen to when they shop.

But that's just my .02... it's your site, and you are perfectly allowed to ignore me, LOL! :bigups: Sorry for being so brutal.

1. Add your background color to #headerWrapper. Those aren't white boxes to be removed, that div just has a white background color.

2. You put your background image in two places. You put it for #centerColumnWrapper2 and for the body. So, my question to you is, where precisely do you want the image to show up? In my original design, there is a background image for #centerColumnWrapper2 which gives the sidebox it's background color. (the light grey). Anyhoo, tell me if you want your background image just BEHIND the content (only to the left and right of center), or if you want it also to be behind your products, but with a solid color for the sideboxes?

3. Good luck with your new logo!

:hug:

Thanks for the pointers - I'll change the background color by the logo!
I want the background image in the centerbox and to continue into the right column (replacing the grey bar).
I also want the area around and under the centerbox to be purple (the areas where your template has the green striped image).
I know I coded the image in the wrong place - first clue for me is that my gir's head is missing when you first open the page - lol!)

Oh! One more thing - where do I code the color for the bars for New Products and Featured Products?

I have looked around and haven't been able to find anything on the subject of Apple Zen working with the column grid mod. I have this installed and have made the changes in configuration>>product listing>> but the products only display vertically on the page.

Any help would be appreciated!
