Remove text box from index page

[Guest]

hi,

when i had my website built i had a textbox added to the footer of the index page , i use to use it for site news etc

 

but i now have a news desk added on the site so the text box is now not used.

 

how do i remove the box from the index page, ( it is only visable on the index page of the website)

 

it is defined under configuration as scrolling text ( this is were i add the text to the text box)

 

could some one tell me were and how i delete it , this is the code i found using firebug when i scroll over the textbox

 

<div align="left" style="height: 75px; width: 900px; padding: 10px; overflow-y: scroll; display: block; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);"><br>
</span><b><br>
</b><br></div>

I would have to see the site to be sure. The information you gave does not tell me enough. Maybe it would someone else.

 

If it is IN the footer then look in the includes/footer.php file. It will have some logic code to determine if the site was at the main index page or another so be sure and get it all, but not too much..

 

It could just be at the bottom of the index.php page in the area below where this code is found..

 

} else { // default page

 

 

But, again to be sure I would have to see the site.

From what you have given us delete the following:

<?php if($category_depth == 'top') { ?>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="25">
 <tr>
    <td class="scrolltext" align="center"><div align="left" style="height:75px; width:900px; padding:10px; overflow-y:scroll; display:block; border: 1px solid #e3e3e3"><?php include(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_DEFINE_MAINPAGE); ?></div></td>
 </tr>
</table>
<?php } ?>
