You will need to edit the file catalog/includes/header to place a nav bar across the top of your page.

To add pages simply create a new page in the root directory 'catalog' then edit it as you wish. Include a link to this page on your nav bar.

To contain the width of your page use the style.css sheet.

The first thing you should do is backup your store and database. Make a complete copy of all your files and save them. Then back up the database in your Admin panel.

I have found a good way to change layout is create an html page then make it look like I want using a style sheet. Most times I can then copy the html code into pages like header, footer, column right and left.

Do you know html and style sheets? If not then you might consider learning it if you want to run an online stor

Please do not PM me again unless you are willing to pay.

Personally I do not mind helping someone out. But what you are asking is me to create your store on this end then walk you thru the changes.

Figure it out then when you run into problems, post the specific problem.

To contain the width of your page you will need to add a style to your style sheet.

Something like:

.main_container {width:930px}

Then place the <div> tag after the <body> tag on your pages.

<body>

You will need to place the ending tag for this class before the closing tag of the <body>

</div>

</body>

There are contributions available that do this, I do not know the name of them but you may try cruising through the contribution section and try the other forum Installation and Configuration as well.

Did you backup your files?

The footer text is change on the page:

catalog/includes/footer.php

To remove the 'Requests since...'

Remove the following lines of code:

</tr>

</table>

To remove the icon go to the index.php page in the catalog directory.

Look around line 291 for this line of code:

Change to this:
