which file contains the nav section , log on script and the like, i'm trying to move the admin options, account options and product catalogue away from the carts main display area. How do i do this?

The navigation items are actually stored in the database, not a file.

Please see this post:

This isn't documented very well at the moment. An expanded version of this "hidden" feature and new documentation is currently in the works. If you still have an issue please let us know.

also can't seem to find where i alter the exisiting layout of the menu bars.

anyone with msn or anything that can help?

Also there is no paypal in my gateway table, is it possible to add paypal and if so how would i do it?

The main cart content is controlled by a table in your cart page (defaults to demo.php). The specific code that is used to display the main cart content is:


<?
//if ($REQUEST_URI == "$cart_page" || $REQUEST_URI == "/") {
if ($SESSION['show_home_page']) {
include "home.php";
$action = "show_cats_detail";
}
include "$cart_isp_root/cart_content.php";
?>
Although we've never tried this, you should be able to move this to where you want your cart content to be displayed.

PayPal isn't an actual payment gateway so it doesn't require an entry in the gateway table. It does, however require an entry in the Payment Methods table. This should be there by default, although it may not be enabled.

Yeah i tried moving that table using a postioning element and it didn't seem to move. Also nothing actually apprears in my cart section when the page loads up, which file shows this. I'd like to have different pages like contact appearing in the cart section when their link is clicked.

The other problem atm is the menu windows, i can't seem to find where to change the background, tried changing steel.jpg in the themes and it didn't work.

Also is it possible to put the product menu in a different store container so that i can move it about, atm the fact that they are in the same container means i have to have them grouped together.

If it helps i can give the details to you to take a look.

thanks again

Also nothing actually apprears in my cart section when the page loads up, which file shows this.

The file that controls what is displayed is home.php. It should be in the root of your site. If it's not, upload it from the distribution. You should also apply this fix:

This is in the "window.php" template file, about half way down (bgcolor):


<td width="100%" bgcolor="#F1F4FF" style="padding: 0 3 3 3">


Also is it possible to put the product menu in a different store container so that i can move it about
It is possible, but not necessary if you only want to move 1 thing. You can remove it from the "Store Navigation" Content Container record, and then add this code wherever you want the product catalog navigation to appear:


<?php
eval(content("Product Categories"));
?>

Please ask each unrelated question in a separate post. It makes it easier to track for us, and easier to find for others!
