changing the menu links

[oaten101]

Hi,

 

I have been looking on how to do this for days but I cant find anything that can help

 

my site: www.simplycases.co.uk

 

All I want to do is edit the top menu bar where at the moment it has Home, About Us, Our Stores, Delivery Index and contact us. I want to get rid of a couple and cant find anyway on how to do it so please could someone point me in the right direction?

 

 

Also I would mind adding images down either side of my site where I have all that white and then make the main area grey so if anyone can help with that aswell that would be great.

 

Thanks

Look in Modules tab and see if you have Block Top Menu module. If so, you can edit those links in the module configuration.

 

If you want to make the main area grey try:

#page {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #999999;
margin: 0 auto 2px;
text-align: left;
width: 956px;
}

 

You can find this in themes/yourthemename/css/global.css. Just change #999999 to the color you want.

 

Hope that helps.

Cant see the the module in the admin area but it is on the directory as ive just found the files.

Thanks for your time

Yes, this is because your theme designer used images for the module headers. There is a much better way of doing it. The least they could've done was use png graphics so the edges were transparent. They also used images for the module block footers. Not good either. These are the reasons why the bg color change looks a mess around the module boxes.

 

I hope you get it worked out the way you want it. Best of luck.

Is there anyway of add images down the left and right hand side of the site?

Can you give me an example of what you want to do?

Where I have the left and right modules to the left and right of them I want an image down the side just to cover some of the white space. Similar to what they do on Twitter.

If finally found a fix

• On the admin page Back Office, Preferences, Performance
  
• edit copile to no and cache to no
  
• then edit the Header.tpl file in the theme folder
  
• then upload it

So the menu is hard coded in the header.tpl? That is not normal and is not a really good designed theme IMO.

 

Glad you figured it out.

This will take a little work but is easily doable. I think I would add two extra div's to the theme and set each div background with the image you want and then position the div's using css. There are many ways of doing it. It will just depend on which way you like the best.

Don't know whether my question is related with the topic. I want to place an external link behind a menu option and also place that in left or right bar. I found CMS block by which I can make probably a box in left/right bar but didn't find any place where I can place the external links. It would be a great help if somebody instructs how to do that in top horizontal menu bar as well as in left/right side bar.

[vekia]

1) go to the modules tab in your back office

2) search for top horizontal menu

3) click on configuration

4) scroll page down, you've got there:

 

fill the short form and click add.

Hey Vekia! Thanks. I made it. Now I can go to the external link from the top menu in a click. And may I know how to place the link in right bar as well. I already placed a block in right bar, only looking for how to place the link inside it. Appreciation!

[vekia]

default prestashop has got module called "link block" - maybe use it?

 

 

(hope I understood what you expect well)

[akik4417]

Thanks again Vekia. That's the solution I was looking for.

[vekia]

you're welcome

 

anyway, if you've got any other questions related to this case - feel free to write
