[Creating a completely new header]

Thanks for the prompt reply markscarts, much appreciated.

Could you please provide me with a detailed step by step of the method you are suggesting?

Not only would this be beneficial to myself, but I believe others in the future if they have a similar request would also find it very useful.

Thankyou in advance

[Creating a completely new header]

Hi,

I am in the process of considering making the transition from a trial version of another manufacturer's software to that of Cube Cart, mainly because of its ease of use and also because of its openness.

What I want to do is basically achieve the same look I get with this other software, but with using cubecart.

So where to start?

Well with the header to begin with.

Currently the header is constructed via a series of templates.

Firstly : top.tpl (via the call "{include file="top.tpl"}" within index.tpl)

Which in turn calls :

- top_quick_links.tpl (via the call "{include file="top_quick_links.tpl"}" within top.tpl)

- quick_search.tpl (via the call "{include file="quick_search.tpl"}" within top.tpl)

- quick_search_button.tpl (via the call "{include file="quick_search_button.tpl"}" within top.tpl)

- top_menu.tpl (via the call "{include file="top_menu.tpl"}" within top.tpl)

Attached at the end of this post is an image of what my current header looks like.

Which hopefully will explain things a bit better.

So what I am asking here is this.

How do I remove the current way a header is constructed

And then implement a method like the one illustrated above?

Thankyou in advance.
