Deleting logo on left column on homepage


flyhead

Recommended Posts

I am new and still trying to find my way around. What file do I go into to delete a logo on the left column on the home page. I have several logos on this side and if I delete one in the middle will the one on the bottom move up? Also what file do I go into to delete a logo on the left side on my product and or catagory pages?

 

Thanks

What I am wanting to do is to delete the go daddy logo. As you can see I figured out how to delete the image from the image folder, but the link/box is still showing up. I dont know how to get rid of the link/box. Does this make sense?

oh.. well, thats because you have a place holder there with subtext.. just deleting an image is not going to take its PLACE off of your website.

 

Post your code for column_left.php

 

sorry.. the last time i posted, i went to your www.masterdatachecks.com and it was literally a BLANK PAGE.. it works now

Brian--Thanks. I will try what you said. Excuse my ignorance, but the person who designed the site left me high and dry. I knew notttttthihhinggg about oscommerce,html,php anything. Every day is a learning experience. Is there a chance that my old designer made a custom template?

 

Thanks

The index.cfm is something your guy did. Everything else looks to be stock osc.

 

If you go to your store index.php instead of index.cfm, then that is what the sock osc starts with.

 

Hope that helps

The file you provided only contains the content in middle of that page. SoI have no clue where it would be. Are you sure that is all thet is on that page?

 

Like I said, that is not an OSC page, therefore can't be of too much help.

Yes Brian--The index.cfm is just the content in the middle of the page. It shows nothing on the left or right. If that is the case fdo you have any ideas of my options?

 

Thanks

Seeing as how you are not going to get any help with coldfusion pages here I would scrap that page. You can put all of that info on your osc pages anyway.

 

1. Make a backup copy of all of your files first so you can restore them in case you make an error.

2. I'm guessing here but I think your server is set to server the index.cfm by default. You will have to change that back to its default setting. You can ask your host about doing that.

3. Take a crash course in OSC. See how the file structure is set up. Learn where to edit your text at, which and where the language files are.

4. Get a basic understanding of HTML and PHP.

5. Learn how to create new boxes and pages. You can see that here.Click Here

6. Learn how to use the proper way of creating links. You can see that here. Click Here

7. Take a look through the contributions area to see whats out there that could help you or just the add ons that you may be interested in. Contributions

8. Did I mention to backup your files?????

 

With that you should be able to put the middle section into your index.php page. Everything on right and left sides you should be able to put those in existing boxes or create your own boxes or links for them.

Brian---Thanks for the advice. Yeah..I have spent every free moment either reading OSC for beginners or on OSC webiste. I guess it is just going to take time learning. It just feels like I am trying to learn Hebrew on my own. At least Rosettastone for OSC would be nice! LOL I did not even know anything about the coldfusion side. Thanks for everyting.

Brian--Just so I understand. You are proposing that the homepage is in Coldfusion? Is the Coldfusion file in my file manger for OSC?

 

Thanks

It appears that your store is in the catalog directory. When someone first goes to your site the index.cfm page is served as the home page. The links on that page point to your catalog directory.

 

If you don't know or don't have thability to edit coldfusion pages then I would create a new page as index.htm. Point the links to your catalog directory. Everything in the catalog seems to be ok. I only wint around a couple of pages but no problems accept for the free shipping pic in the Software/Categories box. When accessing an HTTPS page that pic causes the secure and unsecure warning. You probably hard coded that instead of using the tep_href_link and tep_image function.

 

I don't know anything about coldfusion so I don't know where that picture is at on the home page to get rid of.

Brian--I just wanted to say thank you. After downloading a coldfusion editor and looking into everyfile imagable I finally found the file and made the change. Just what it worked. A sales guy who is type A is trying his best. I greating appreciate the help.

 

Thanks

 

Steve
