Unhappy I have searched and searched and it seems so simple but....

I am trying to find out how to move or even remove the titles at the top of my header at

http://www.fascinocosmetics.com/online-store/home.php

( Home, Shopping Cart, Contact Us)

I would like to relocate them in the left column instead and have the logo a click on home link. Any suggestions. I have looked and I simply can't figure it out.

I also want to change the wording of "shopping cart" to "my basket". Can this be done?

Thanks anyone!!!

I have read through as much as I can understand of the smart template editing, but everytime I try to edit the header or related files I get error after error, and it is driving me insane.

I'm pretty much resigning myself to go back to my old system, which works for me, but thought I'd give this forum a go as a last ditch attempt.

Wait! Don't go - just wanted to you to update your signature and get familiar with the way things work - we aren't abandoning you to the manual

You have a custom template, so it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what templates to guide you to - which is where Webmaster Mode comes in handy. Open up your site in that, it will show you exactly which template is which - and then you can easily remove/move/edit items in that template.

Can you give me an example of some of the code you are editing, and what error you are getting?

( Home, Shopping Cart, Contact Us) are defined in admin using the "speed bar" options. You can rename them there. They are controlled by the template skin1/customer/tab.tpl, which in the default x-cart is called from within the skin1/customer/top_menu.tpl, but a Balinor said, you site has a custom skin so it is impossible for anyone else to know what was modified and how.

Something else you can do to change "shopping cart" to "my basket" is in the admin section, click on "languages". Then choose your language from the drop down box at the top of the page. Once the page refreshes you should see an area that has "Select topic: and Apply Filter:". In the "apply filer area, enter "shopping cart" and click "go". You should see any language tag that contains the phrase "shopping cart". Find those that you want to edit. Once you are satisfied go to the bottom of the page and click "update all". You can do this for any language variable in x-cart.

Ok, now more about moving ( Home, Shopping Cart, Contact Us). It appears you want to move them to the left column. This is defined in skin1/customer.home.tpl. The problem is, the "tab" section is dynamic, meaning you can add or subtract different "tabs" as you see fit. What most people will do is either leave them as is or move them somewhere else where they can be displayed horizontally instead of vertically (which they would need to be if placed in a column). I'm not saying it can not be done, it is just more difficult.
