Paid a coder to do a site and left it half complete.

[iBuyOnline]

Hi all - Website : www.datpleasures.com

 

Firstly - can someone have a look at the source and let me know what section I need to change... The margin/padding on the navigation is sat in the middle of the header box. (You'll see what I mean when you go to the site)

 

Secondly - We asked the programmer to implement something so we could upload a CSV file that just updates all products on the site. This is a shot in the dark.... apparently he's done it but not shown us and there are now no products on the site. Now images wont upload when you're trying to just add a single product manually.

 

Is there a way someone who could show me what I need to do to upload the CSV file (I have uploaded the images separately) see below for what the file looks like.

 

Failing that - how could we revert back to the old way of uploading individually

 

Last and by no means least - He's also left out the center box around and it's just green text on a red gradient background... I'd like to add a white background the same as the white sidebars, in the middle for the main content.

 

I'm fairly competitant with web design and coding but this is just out of my reach I've managed to finish everything else he didn't do but I've exhausted my skills and I'm in need of some help...

 

Again I understand this is a complete shot in the dark so anyone that can help I'd really appreciate it.

CSV looks like

The most common way of importing CSV files used is Easy Populate, see here and here for more info...

 

As for manually adding products and images, check the permission on the images folder and make sure its "writable"

Thank you very much I'll look into that now.

Your first question about the menu bar:

Your source code is outputting:

<table width="100%" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
			  <tr>
			    <td class="leftmenutop"> </td>
			    <td><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="menubar">
				    <tr>
					  <td><a href="http://www.datpleasures.com/index.php?osCsid=s2s342ktcvjg71m8ab2hleecn1" class="here">HOME</a></td>
					  <td><img src="images/menugap.gif" alt="" width="2" height="35" /></td>
					  <td><a href="http://www.datpleasures.com/newproducts.php?osCsid=s2s342ktcvjg71m8ab2hleecn1">NEW PRODUCTS</a></td>
					  <td><img src="images/menugap.gif" alt="" width="2" height="35" /></td>
					  <td><a href="http://www.datpleasures.com/account_edit.php?osCsid=s2s342ktcvjg71m8ab2hleecn1">MYACCOUNT</a></td>
					  <td><img src="images/menugap.gif" alt="" width="2" height="35" /></td>
					  <td><a href="http://www.datpleasures.com/shopping_cart.php?osCsid=s2s342ktcvjg71m8ab2hleecn1">VIEW CART</a></td>
					  <td><img src="images/menugap.gif" alt="" width="2" height="35" /></td>
					  <td><a href="http://www.datpleasures.com/contact_us.php?osCsid=s2s342ktcvjg71m8ab2hleecn1">CONTACT US</a></td>
					  <td><img src="images/menugap.gif" alt="" width="2" height="35" /></td>
					  <td><a href="#">VISIT OUR ONLINE COMMUNITY</a></td>
				    </tr>
			    </table>

In general you can modify the header stuff via the includes/header.php file. I'm not sure if your site was built off a template or not sometimes I see templates with header2.php or other re-worked and named files. First thing to look for and change the table tag aligning the bar right, then check the CSS calls to see what they are doing.

 

Second question, sounds like toyicebear / Nick put you in the right direction. I will point out you'll need to reference the image's in the csv file and ftp them up to the images folder.

 

The last question, I'm having a hard time answering because your site isn't loading very well.

Sir,

Offtopic - your website loads from boston ma painstakingly slow I think it is time for new hosting.

Its likely since the site isn't secured :( that somebody has already injected you with some bad stuff which is why the pages aren't loading.
