Hi,

I need someone to help me or at least give me a brief explanation on how to change the links on the nav bar.

I need to change the links to

home | Home theater installation | Security camera installation | etc.

Also I would like to add a jquery slideshow and change it with the current one.

Any advice would be much appreciated

Thank you.
Eric

Open catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl

Find

Code: Select all

<div class="links"><a href="<?php echo $home; ?>"><?php echo $text_home; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $wishlist; ?>" id="wishlist-total"><?php echo $text_wishlist; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $account; ?>"><?php echo $text_account; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $shopping_cart; ?>"><?php echo $text_shopping_cart; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $checkout; ?>"><?php echo $text_checkout; ?></a></div>
Replace with whatever you want your links to be. Easiest way would be to just hard code the links, like so:

Code: Select all

<div class="links"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/home-theater-installation">Home Theater Installation</a></div>
If you PM me with the links you want, I can make a vQmod for it so you don't have to edit your core header.tpl file.

Regarding the nivo slider on the home page, it already uses jquery. Did you want to replace it with something other than Nivo slider?

I edited the links how you told me to

<div class="links"><a href="<?php echo $home; ?>"><?php echo $text_home; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $wishlist; ?>" id="wishlist-total"><?php echo $text_wishlist; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $account; ?>"><?php echo $text_account; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $shopping_cart; ?>"><?php echo $text_shopping_cart; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $checkout; ?>"><?php echo $text_checkout; ?></a></div>

and i replaced it like this

<div class="links">

<a href="index.html">Home</a>
<a href="hometheater.html">Home theater installation</a>




</div>

and so on

but nothing changed I still see the same links on the navigation bar without any changes.

any suggestions ????

Thank you

Oh, you want to change the links in the Mega Menu (drop down) and not the nav links at the top. That's easy, you just add the categories and products in the back end and enable them to be shown in the Mega Menu.

You'll want to change the other links back to the original.
