Several questions! Please Help!

www.photographysisters.com

Could someone PLEASE help me with a few questions?

I am using Apple Zen

  1. I am trying to get the ez pages to show up in the "categories" DROP DOWN BOX.

  2. If you go to: Information>sitemap, and HOVER over the links, the HOVER is black. I would like the hover to be WHITE.

  3. If you go to: Home>Search....the FONT of the main headings of the search topics is dark grey, I would like it to be white.

  4. Could I have a html page load before the index page? If so, how do you do this?

Thank you so much! :smile:

Re: Several questions! Please Help!

You have some cats under the home tab that are not there by default??
Do what you did there but to the EMPTY categories tab that I have highlighted

<div id="dropMenu">
          <ul class="level1">
            <li class="submenu"><a href="http://photographysisters.com/index.php?main_page=index">Home</a>
              <ul class="level2">
                <li><a href="http://photographysisters.com/index.php?main_page=products_new">New Products</a></li>
                <li><a href="http://photographysisters.com/index.php?main_page=products_all">All Products</a></li>

                <li><a href="http://photographysisters.com/index.php?main_page=specials">Specials</a></li>
                <li><a href="http://photographysisters.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search">Search</a></li>
              </ul>
            </li>
            <li class="submenu"><a href="http://photographysisters.com/index.php?main_page=site_map">Categories</a>
              <ul class="level2"></ul>            </li>
  1. You will have to add #siteMapList ul a:hover and #siteMapList ul li a:hover statements to your css and specify the hover color

  2. In your css find and adjust

LEGEND {
	color:#333;
	}
  1. This depends upon your host and what you can do with your htaccess file

You want to define that .html or .htm will load and not .php then on your page you can call the index.php with a href???? to the Zen Cart file index.php

it will resemble:
For web servers using PHP as apache module:

AddType application/x-httpd-html .htm

or

For web servers running PHP as CGI:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-html .htm

Re: Several questions! Please Help!

Thanks Kobra!

I fixed my question #3:

3. In your css find and adjust 

Code:
LEGEND {
	color:#333;
	}

I just typed in the word "white" where the 333 was.

For question #1, before I make any changes to my css, I was wondering if you think I have something either turned on or off in my admin area?

For question #2, do I add that to my stylesheet or to my stylesheet_header_menu.css?

I havn't worked on the 4th. question yet....thanks for your help! Hope you will be able to answer these!

Re: Several questions! Please Help!

While the use of "white" as a colour definition in CSS is technically W3C compliant, it is always better to use the hex codes for colour, as some browsers do not yet fully support text names for colour definitions.

For "white", this is #FFFFFF.

There are plenty of resources for hex codes on the internet. Do a google search for "hex colour codes".

Re: Several questions! Please Help!

Your fourth question...

By placing an "index.html" in your root directory, you will probably over-ride your "index.php" file.

As Kobra indicates, you will then need to reference your "index.php" in a hyperlink on your site in order for the shop to load up.

.htaccess settings may also apply, so discuss this with your host.

Rhis would not be your css/stylesheet - most probably the template tpl_header.php file
For question #2, do I add that to my stylesheet or to my stylesheet_header_menu.css?
To your stylesheet.css

Re: Several questions! Please Help!

Yes! I knew about hex codes because I have a color pallette that gives you hex codes for every color, but I had originally tried #ffffff and the font didn't change to white. That's why I used the word, "white", but after I thought about it, the original entry was, "color: #333", so I went back in and entered #fff, (using 3 f's instead of 6) and the font changed to white! Yay!

Thank you for all your help! I appreciate it....it is desperately needed! :hug:

Re: Several questions! Please Help!

Ok...I'm embarrased! I didn't mean I wanted the ez pages to show up in the categories drop down, I wanted them to show up in the information drop down. They are currently only showing up in: information>sitemap. The pages that I would like to see are: about kimberly and about stacey.
