Several Questions

[Blackhatcreator]

First, thanks to all the people who troll the boards and offer advice. Your contributions are appreciated, I swear they are.

 

Second, if there is a Wiki or something that answers my questions, I have no problem looking at it if you'll point me in the right direction :thumbsup:

 

A couple of (probably simple) questions.

 

Basically all of my questions revolve around the following image...

 

 

This is a screen caption of how I used to have my site. I'm in the middle of implementing OsCommerce now, and haven't quite gotten the hang of getting images and such where I want them.

 

What I'd like first is to create a module that links to other pages, similar to what I have going on on the left side of the page. How would I create the module, add the links, and create the separate pages?

 

Second, I'd like to get our designs front-and-center. Any idea of where I might start?

 

Have a ton more questions, but I think we'll start with those. Thanks a ton in advanced.

Look below my name for the link called "Fixed Width Site With CSS". It's an easy modification which allows you to fix the width of your site and center it in the browser.

 

To create a new page is easy but there are quite a few stages:

 

1. Open the root level privacy.php page and save it as newname.php then edit the FILENAME entries in the file

2. Open the includes/languages/english/privacy.php page and save that as newpage.php (don't overwrite the earlier one of the same name). Then edit the navigation entries at the top of the file.

3. Add the new file to includes/filenames.php

4. Add the link to the new file to includes/boxes/information.php

5. Add the link name of the new page to the 'information' box section in includes/languages/english.php

First, pretty cat, reminds me of my own. Second, thanks for the help. Seems a bit advanced for my skills, but I'll give it my best :)

I was able to figure out almost everything I needed, thanks a ton.

 

One more question, though. I'd like to put the products in the center of the page, similar to what I have going on with the screenshot I posted before. I don't necessarily mean centered width. I'm talking about getting rid of the "What's New" and getting my products in that area. I was able to remove the "What's new" and such (currently, I've got nothing there), I'd just like to figure a way to actually show in that area, if that makes much sense. Again, if I can be directed toward a guide even, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks again in advanced.
