Moving Home / Login to main page header?

Hi All,

I'd like to know how to move the Home / Login / Logout / Checkout etc links that are currently at the top left of my logo header, to being in the middle top of my centre box header - where the 'My Account' link for the ezpage is. Is this even possible?

I've scoured the posts but can't find exactly what I'm after. I just want the links to run as follows, where the current link for 'My Account' is;

Home | Login/Logout | Shopping Cart | Checkout

Thanks in advance!

This is not as big of a change as your question makes it sound. These elements are all part of the same header, and output by /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php.

In this file, simply move the code block marked by <!--bof-navigation display--> to just above or below the block marked by <!--bof-header ezpage links-->. This will put the navbar above or below the ez-page links (My Account). If you want them all on one line, you can turn off the header ez-pages menu and add the link to the navMain list like this:```php

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for coming to my rescue again! :D I've got them below the logo now, and centered so that's a start. I a lot of space below them now, I've looked at all the padding amounts in the CSS but I can't find any that should be affecting it :(

I'm wanting to now move the login / shopping cart / my account etc upwards to being in the nav cat tabs line - is it a matter of moving the code again in the header tpl file?

Thanks in advance!

I fixed the issue with the extra space showing under the home/login - I turned off the coding for the search function in the header and it righted itself.

Still trying to figure out how to move the Home / Login / Checkout etc up into the nav cat tabs space though :(

If you still want to shrink the navbar, these declarations all take up some space:```
#navMain {
margin-top: 2px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
}

#navMain ul, #navSupp ul, #navCatTabs ul {
margin: 0 .5em;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
position: relative;
}

#navMain ul {
float: none;
}

#navMain ul li, #navSupp ul li, #navCatTabs ul li {
display: inline;
position: relative;
}

#navMain ul li a/, #navSupp ul li a/ {
padding: 0.5em;
margin: 0;
background-color: #393939;
border-top: 1px solid #222222;
border-left: 1px solid #222222;
border-right: 1px solid #222222;
border-bottom: 1px solid #222222;
}

I'm not sure it is a good idea to move the navbar links into the cat-tabs line. They would fit to start, but when you get a my account link or shopping cart & checkout links, they would be crowded and probably not fit on one line (in 1024x768 monitors). They would also become less distinctive.

But if you want to do it, you would need to get a bit more aggressive with the code and merge or insert part of the navbar code into the cat-tabs code.

Hi Again :)

I'd be removing the category tabs if I can move the login / home links to the same spot. I personally don't like cat tabs, but want the break between logo header and main page that they give.

What coding could I tweak to allow this?

Thanks in advance yet again!

No tweaking is needed - just turn off cat tabs in Configuration > Layout Settings, and if you want a visual separation between header and body, you can change the styling of #navMain to match #navCatTabs.

Oh golly - my brain was so drained from searching I didn't even realise how easy ti was lol! I've got it right now, but one last thing. How can I change the seperators to being :: like in between breadcrumbs. Currently I'm using the left border command to get line seperators, but would prefer the ::

Thanks once more, you've been a lifesaver Glenn! :D

Kathy - https://www.naturalsoap.com.au

Since navMain is a list generated explicitly in tpl_header.php, you can just add the colons to the HTML output in the items that need it, like this:
(This is the view source, so the actual PHP file will look a bit different.)```php

Insert the colons after the <li> for each item except the (first) home link.

Hi Glenn,

THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU!!!!
It's now exactly as I want it after tweaking sizes etc.

Hi all.

Another newbie question on the same lines. I am trying to move my home / login the same as Kathsta, but when I apply the changes suggested by GJH42 I get a white space between the bottom of the logo and above the home / login bar.

I've looked at the css but I am not too surewhat to adjust.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Can you post a link so we can see what your output code is doing?

hi gjh42

I have made an error and have posted the same question here as well as another thread. Should i carry on in this thread or both or close one?

My apologies as I'm not used to forums and thought I'd lost my post.

My site will be up on Wednesday night, UK time, as I have been creating it on a local server. There will be no products at the moment as i'm still getting used to customising the shop.

I Hope that this is ok, and thank you for your help.

Hi GJH42

I have upped the site to https://www.tempr.co.uk

many thanks for having a look for me.

There is a <br class="clearBoth" /> after your logoWrapper code in tpl_header.php which is causing the space.
If you add this to your stylesheet:

#logoWrapper+.clearBoth {display: none;}

you will see the space disappear (except in IE6).

To permanently eliminate it, edit /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php and comment out that <br class="clearBoth" /> or change it to

Many many thanks Glen for your patience and help.

That is absolutely wonderful. I have put in your suggestions and it has helped tremendously.

Kindest regards

I'm sorry to bother you one more time, but is it possible to centre the text / links as well.

I have found the css to change the font size, colour, a link colour etc, but cannot seem to be ble to centre it.

Many thanks once again.

I had EZ Pages links below my header image, but I recently turned this feature off, and moved my "navigation links" below my header image. However, I just wanted to see if anyone had suggestions as to EZ Pages link placement and "navigation links"

I do have my EZ Pages links at the footer of the site but I am torn as to the best way to set this up. Thank you in advance.
