Header Issues, Main Page and Search

Hello,

I would like to centre my header image/navigation menu and delete all of that excess black back ground. I have tried the style sheet and the tpl_header.php but haven’t found anything obvious.

For the main page the "index.html" I want to customize that with css and html but I can find the appropriate files

As well, when people use my search I want the search engine to not only search product descriptions and titles but also categories. So if someone puts in "First Nations" all relevant products are listed and the category itself is listed.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Re: Header Issues, Main Page and Search

mainpage.html does not exist as you might be thinking

Search does exactly that

What is a url to what you have?

Re: Header Issues, Main Page and Search

Sorry I tried to edit my post and it would not save. Here is the site.

http://store.goldiproductions.com

So how do I edit the main page then? What are the files I need to use?

Re: Header Issues, Main Page and Search

Take your goldiproductions image and size it up to be the same width as you have set for your site. Apply it as a backgeound image to #logoWrapper in your stylesheet

You other images will be placed/appear over this

So how do I edit the main page then? What are the files I need to use?
There are basically up to 5 parts
header, left column, right coulmn, center, footer
Each with a tpl file that describes the layout/content

Re: Header Issues, Main Page and Search

Thank you for the recomendation. However, my boss does not want to change the header (she wants the images the same size). I was able to shift it to the left which takes off some of the extra black.

I tried to do a search for "Enviornment" which is one of our categories but it did not bring up the category itself

Re: Header Issues, Main Page and Search

You should begin by creating your own template versus using the classic that you are now using - then in a COPY of tpl_header.php comment out/remove the navMain block
I want the search engine to not only search product descriptions and titles but also categories
Sorry, This does not search category "titles" - only descritpions

Try adding a description to your category in the admin
