Main Menu Item

Hi,

Please refer to the following website:

http://www.liddleones.com

Is there anyway of changing the meni item called 'BUY NOW' to resemble the LOG IN appearance in the Main Menu

(I know the munu is going over the logo, but I will be deleting the Log In button once I find out how to do it)

Thanks.

So basically you would like to have "Buy now" menu item to look exactly as "log in" one?

Yes, that is what I am looking at doing.

I have tried changing the parameters of the Log In module, but can't figure it out.

Cheers.

Actually it might be impossible to transfer menu item into different look. The only thing that comes to my mind is to hardcode it into:
/templates/gk_creativity/layouts/default.php
file just before:

Code: Select all

                        <?php if($this->API->modules('login')) : ?>
                        <a href="<?php echo $this->API->get('login_url', 'index.php?option=com_users&view=login'); ?>" id="gkLogin" class="button border"><?php echo ($userID == 0) ? JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_LOGIN') : JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_MY_ACCOUNT'); ?></a>
                        <?php endif; ?>


The code should looks this way:

Code: Select all

                        <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Drops-Naturally-Derived-Supplement/dp/B00PK3R1FO/ie=UTF8?m=A1IB9NJ2FQICTQ&amp;keywords=vitamin+D+drops" class="button border" id="menu735">BUY NOW</a>
                        <?php if($this->API->modules('login')) : ?>
                        <a href="<?php echo $this->API->get('login_url', 'index.php?option=com_users&view=login'); ?>" id="gkLogin" class="button border"><?php echo ($userID == 0) ? JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_LOGIN') : JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_MY_ACCOUNT'); ?></a>
                        <?php endif; ?>


Hi,

I did your edit and there were 2 x LOG IN buttons and a BUY NOW button.

These were also placed over the logo on the left hand of the page.

I did some tweaking, as per below:

Code: Select all

</div>
                <?php endif; ?>
                <?php if($this->API->modules('login')) : ?>
                <div id="gkUserArea">
                        <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Drops-Naturally-Derived-Supplement/dp/B00PK3R1FO/ie=UTF8?m=A1IB9NJ2FQICTQ&amp;keywords=vitamin+D+drops" class="button border" id="menu735">BUY NOW</a>
                        <?php if($this->API->modules('login')) : ?>
                        <a href="<?php echo $this->API->get('login_url', 'index.php?option=com_users&view=login'); ?>" id="gkLogin" class="button border"><?php echo ($userID == 0) ? JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_LOGIN') : JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_MY_ACCOUNT'); ?></a>
                        <?php endif; ?>
                </div>
                <?php endif; ?>
                <?php if($this->API->get('show_menu', 1)) : ?>
                <div id="gkMainMenu" class="gkPage">
                        <?php
                   $this->mainmenu->loadMenu($this->API->get('menu_name','mainmenu'));
                    $this->mainmenu->genMenu($this->API->get('startlevel', 0), $this->API->get('endlevel',-1));
                ?>
                </div>
                <?php endif; ?>

Now refer to website to see how it looks.

Just need the LOG IN button removed.

I tried going to turn off the login module in the modules manager but then no BUY NOW and LOG IN button was visible.

As this is a bit of a tweak to the website, I can send you a $10 or $20 donation to quickly sort.

I know it is a bit of customising.

Let me know what you think.

I am nearly there. The website is looking good. Just need that LOG IN button removed.

Once the LOG IN button is removed, the rest of the menu items will move over and not be hanging over part of the logo.

Thanks.

Please send me a PM with:
1. URL to your website
2. login and password of user with admin/super-admin privileges (please create one for me)
3. ftp data (host, user, password)
4. link to this thread

I'll fix that for you.

I can't access your ftp server (time out).
Please attach to this thread file:
/templates/gk_creativity/layouts/default.php
compressed with zip. Ill do the changes and post it back so after replace it will work fine.

OK,

Not too sure why it was timing out.

Find attached the compressed file.

Thanks for this.

Ok, os basically my change was to remove "login" module dependency and leaving only your custom button. This file should work as expected.

default.php.zip

Excellent.

Works well.

Website looks great now with that tweak.

Check your PM

Thanks

Thanks.
