Custom top menu links and CSS customisation

[terungwa]

Hi,

I just installed prestashop on my local machine and am trying to figure out how to use prestashop.

Is it posible to add a custom menu item with an external href attribute value?

Secondly, can i manipulate the look and feel of an installed theme via the CSS sheet?

 

If yes, kindly point out the directions (my CSS skills can handle it if i know where to edit)

 

Thanks.

Hi terunga,

You can add a custom menu item in the module->module and then find the top horizontal menu.

click configure and scroll down, here you see a block where you can add a name for your menu item and a link it should go when clicked. Finally you can tell it if it should op en in a new window or not.

 

Most of the css changes can be done in themes/<your theme folder>/css/global.css

Some are module dependent, so look in modules/<modulename>/<modulename.css> to change these.

 

Maybe have a quick look how to override files, to not dirctly change the base files of Prestashop, which may give problems when upgrading, here:

and maybe this helps too:

Hope this helps,

Good morning

 

You do not say which PS version you are using or if it is default theme

 

But to add an external link see link below

You can change whatever you want using .css but you need to give us a clue as to what your looking for

Hi Paul,

I am using version 1.5.5.0 and i have installed the default theme.

I wish to wrap the top menu and footer blocks in another container div such that i can add a background and make it full width of the screen.

 

So I am trying to figure out which files i need to edit to achieve this.

 

Thanks.
