how can I add header navigation bar?

[Guest akssi]

I was wondering if it is possible to add a header navigation bar in legend skin? Has anyone tried it?

[Guest akssi]

Am I wrong to think that I just have to modify index.tpl in skin folder??

[convict]

you are right :)

[Guest akssi]

Is it that easy?!

I cannot check it on my store now (have problems with FTP), but if it's all that I have to modify, I'm falling in love with CubeCart :)

Easy? It depends to coders skill. And dont forget do the same into cart.tpl, or just write your own BOX (header navigation) template. That can be the best way for one place modification :o

I've done something similar with the Classic skin, http://littleangelsfashion.com/ and with the Legend skin at http://cc3.biz/

I like to create a new i.d. selector in layout.css, you could call it #navBar, and set styles for it there. Then, code the bar into a division below your header, like:

<div id="navBar">

<anchor link>text</a> |

<anchor link>text</a> |

<anchor link>text</a> |

</div>

etc., of course I just put the {SITE_DOCS} in there and aligned to the right or centered . . . :rolly:

Markscarts,

Speaking of moving the doc links to under the header, how would you think I could go about having each one placed inside of a tab. Such as say This msn page ?

The hardest part would be having them autoadjust and having the end image look proper as an end yet also look as though it is meant to overlap the next.

Any ideas would be great thanks.

That is all done with background images, similar to the way Killer uses images to create "tabs" for category titles.

You'd have to tie the layout in with styleTemplates/boxes/siteDocs.tpl, as that contains a loop that causes all the site docs to display on index with single {SITE_DOCS} or somesuch variable.

Go for it! No guts no glory

EDIT: You might want to look at Twisted's tutorial on CC2 about "Change the Look of Your CubeCart Completely" - although it is about version 2 of CC, it is a good, informational manual about using images to make a fancy page :rolly:

Hmm,

I might do just that. Well that is off course as soon as I have read this book on php and MySQL. Trying to learn a little.

Ive seen people being able to do so many things in php I though it about high time I joined the many ranks of coders, so err....Watch this space??? ROFlmao. (as if, I reckon it would take me a few years yet).

Tom.
