I am running version 3.4.2 and would like to know how to seperate the menus so that they dont each run together like the sites listed below:

http://69.0.165.253/store/customer/home.php

http://www.itsafamilyaffair.com/

http://www.kenop.com/customer/home.php

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I too want to seperate the menus so would be interested in advice.

add a
command to the bottom of menu.tpl

you may want to remove a few
commands from the home.tpl to tidy things up

This seperated the menus and removed the color from the ones on the right. It seperated the ones on the left but there is still the generic background color between the menus. How do I remove this?

(see www.iworldsales.com/shop/customer for example)

BTW Shan...thanks for the fiirst tip that seperated the three on the right...you the man!

The background of the menu is made by the style VertMenuBox being set on the left column in home.tpl and not in the right column. edit that file to tidy that up

ok Shan...we are getting closer. The small area running down the left hand side is gone now but I still have the color problem. On the menu on the right the menus are each seperate with an area of white between them. On the left however there is blue between them which is the same color as the menus. Maybe you could look at http://www.iworldsales.com/shop/customer and let me know how I could get rid of that blue between the menus? Thanks sir! We are getting there a little at a time. Thanks for everything so far.

I was wondering how to do that too...I FIGURED IT OUT after 1 hour of working on it...yes I am a n00b. Here is how you make the left side like the right side:
home.tpl

Quote:

<table border=0 width="800" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center">
<tr>
<td class=VertMenuBox width=150 valign=top>
{ include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu eq "Y"}
{ include file="modules/Bestsellers/menu_bestsellers.tpl" }
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Gift_Certificates ne "" or $active_modules.Product_Configurator ne ""}
{include file="customer/special.tpl"}
{/if}

Delete the bold section, so your code should look like this:

Quote:

<table border=0 width="800" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center">
<tr>
<td width=150 valign=top>
{ include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu eq "Y"}
{ include file="modules/Bestsellers/menu_bestsellers.tpl" }
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Gift_Certificates ne "" or $active_modules.Product_Configurator ne ""}
{include file="customer/special.tpl"}
{/if}

God I actually helped someone else :roll: ...this rocks...peace out!!! 8)

Dude...you are not a n00b anymore! That kicks butt. Thanks a bunch!

:lol: thats what i was talking about before not the thin strip down the left hand side. Got there in the end though

Thanks to everyone...it helped a bunch. I wanted the strip down the side gone too so it is just as well that I misunderstood you. :D
