Remove book ad / move up new products

I searched and couldn't this. I want to remove the large book add in the center of the page and move up the New products box to take it's place at the top. I figured out how to remove the othher banners but this one is elusive. Thanks for helping a noob.

Re: Remove book ad / move up new products

Are you talking about what's in the Tools --> Define Pages Editor section? (main page)

If you could post a link, that would help us see what you're talking about.

Re: Remove book ad / move up new products

When you first install Zen Cart, there is a big Zen Cart book advertisement in the center of the main page. I want to remove this and bring the new items for the month list to the top. Thanks.

EDIT. Links from outside my site are getting 403 error. I need to tweak my htaccess file.

Did you create a custom template?

You can quickly access the content via Admin->Tools->Define Pages Editor->define_main_page

Re: Remove book ad / move up new products

Note: You really need to set up your own overrides and not edit the Classic template. See the FAQs for template customizing.

Re: Remove book ad / move up new products

Ok, I'll check it out. What is the advantage to that and the disadvantage to editing the default template?

I'm not new to programming but I am new to PHPBB and Zen Cart so this is all a learning curve for me. Thanks.

If you don't create a custom template override your customizations will be overwritten with your next upgrade.
