a little help needed

Recommended Posts

I hate to be a bother, but I've been working to get my site together and I've run into a couple of problems.

 

1. In the bar just under my logo, I'd like to remove "top" from that area. It takes me directly to my directory and i'd like to remove that option from my customers.

 

2. In each of my boxes, there is a gif in the corners. how can I remove these.

 

I'm still working on everything else and I'm pretty sure I've got that stuff under control, but I'm really stuck here (i'm very new to all this)

 

Thanks for your help

 

P.S. If you need to look at my site, it is located temporarilyhere

For the corners, I think you want to edit the .php files for each box. Find the statment that looks like this:

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

and make sure it says "false, false." I believe this will turn off both corner images.

 

As for removing "top" from the header bar...that's probably in header.php but I don't know exactly where.

Melissa,

 

Instead of removing "Top" from the breadcrumb in your header, you should instead create a redirecting index.php page to put in your main directory. Here's an example:

 

<?php

header("Location: http://mdjdesign.com/mytotalemallcart/"); 

?>

 

Just cut and paste this into a blank text document using Notepad and save it as index.php or default.php. Then upload it to your main directory (mdjdesign.com/). This way when someone clicks on top or just types in mdjdesign.com, they will be redirected to your catalog.

 

As for the corners of your infoboxes, you should try to change the colors to match what you have. They are located in catalog/images/infoboxes/ and are named:

 

corner_left

corner_right

corner_right_left

 

I used MS Paint to change mine. It only took a few minutes and I think the site looks better with the rounded corners, which you'll lose if you just deleted them instead.

 

good luck,

My earlier reply does remove 'Top' from the nav bar, but it also renames Catalog to Home, and does not affect the breadcrumb trail in any way. No need to make things more complicated than they need be. Vger

Rhea:

 

I did a search but could not find the post you mentioned. Do you have a URL for the thread?

 

Thx in advance.

 

I can't put a redirect - it's a shared server and "Top" points to the main directory.

Never mind. I figured it out:

 

Comment out the following code from application_top.php:

 

$breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_TOP, HTTP_SERVER);
