Hello Group

I am close to getting this. I have played with the head.tpl for a while and come close to do what I want.

1. I did great getting rid of the language box

2. I replaced my logo.gif

3. Here is the problem. Logo2.gif butts up to the search box. I can't seem to figure out how that gets in the way of logo2.gif moving all the way to the left.

I would like to keep logo2.gif to the left and add some buttons on there. I also need to keep the search box.

I am modifying the default and trying to figure out what I can do.

Am I correct that the default deals with skin1.css?

For upgrade purposes I am going to use all the same names for my image changes. Do you think that would make a upgrade easier?

I just normally throw away the original head.tpl and put in new html/smarty to do the exact layout that i want.

If you want to do the html in dreamweaver and then cut and paste this will work much better than trying to fight your way through the standard head.tpl and only really end up with a fairly standard xcart.

to make a search menu to go with categories, help etc

create menu_search.tpl

{* $Id: menu_search.tpl,v 1.16 2003/02/25 08:58:45 olga Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
<TABLE align=center class=VertMenuItems border=0 cellPadding=5 cellSpacing=0 width="100%">
<form method="get" action="../customer/search.php" name=productsearchform>
    
                  <tr>        <td valign="middle"><input type="text" name="substring" size="19" value="{$smarty.get.substring|escape}"></td>
          </tr>
          <tr> 
           
            <td valign="middle" width=250><a href="javascript:document.productsearchform.submit()">
                {include file="buttons/search.tpl"}</a>
            </td>
            
          </tr>
          <tr> 
            
            <td>{$lng.lbl_advanced_search}</td>
     
          </tr></form>
</TABLE>
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_help.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_search
menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

then in home.tpl add

{ include file="menu_search.tpl" }

where you want the search box to appear

Hello Shan

Thanks for the reply. I am ging to backup my files and give it at try.

I find it easier just to edit every page in dreamweaver and set it for ftp upload on save.

Then you can edit each tpl through code and design, and edit each php file through code.

Makes life simple.
