Cart Icon showing next to logo, how can I hide it?

Hi, 1st thanks for a great template, looks excellent and just what I needed.

Have run into one problem that I have spent over 6 hours trying to figure out, I can't get the Cart Icon to hide and it is also out of place after moving logo out of main navigation area. (see attached image)

To move the logo I browsed the forum and found a post by Seichinha on how to move the logo to a new position -
http://www.gavick.com/forum/90-mystore/ ... u-how.html

I was really hoping not to have to ask but I am completely puzzled on how to hide the Icon without hiding the new logo position.
What do I need to edit/changed to hide the Cart Icon?

Thanks for any help and for producing some really great templates.

and you tried just to simply disable the cart module mod_virtuemart_cart...

else try to add this to the end of the template.css file :

Code: Select all

#gk-cart { visibility: hidden }

Thank you for the reply, I haven't actually got a module called mod_virtuemart_cart installed at the moment, sorry should of said that I'm not using the virtuemart component or any modules for virtuemart at this time - I will be later this week once I have updated my website and got the layout completed.

I did manage to hide the Cart icon in the end but in a way that's not ideal, I just removed the link to the cart icon and now it's not showing but still seems like there's a gap where it was displaying.

I will try what you suggested about adding that code to the end of the template.css file.

Thank you once again for the suggestion and for producing some really great templates, especially the MyStore template it was just what I needed for my site.

on behalf of the designers and coders thanks;) it's always nice to hear when people like what we do

please post here if the adding of the code removes it as intended.. it worked in firebug

to close that gap you can add this to the h1.logo > a { in template.css

Code: Select all

h1.logo > a { background-image: url("/templates/gk_mystore/images/style2/logo.png"); margin: 0 -30px }

Hi explodedk, the above code worked prefect at removing the gap, thank you for supplying that to me - I've attached an image of the final result.

OMG Now I will have to upgrade my membership to the Business plan when I renew it since changing the Template to the MyStore one, updating the logo and adding some other new features to my site has turned it from a simple personal hobbie site into more of a Corporation looking one hopefully that will be a good thing though LOL...

Once again thanks for the help you given me to solve this minor issue, especially since it was kind of a template customization

you welcome. i googled the safe-sites-2-click-on and looked at it in firebug

looks good...

the shop (powered by amazon) - is it something you sell personally, or just the categories from amazon - and do you get anything for refering people from your www?? also when having the amazon in a wrap, the menu in left don't look nice imo... takes up to much space, and makes portable media centers take up 3 lines

and if you have the width set to narrow the wrap will scroll horizontal... i would remove the left menu, and maybe disable the tools - or at least the tools that change to narrow - you could still have the normal and wide width

just my 5 cent

The Amazon shop is just products from Amazon and other companies that use Amazon sell their goods, I am using an Amazon Associates account so I will receive 5% of any items which get sold (goes up to 5.5% after selling 21 items or more) but as of yet I haven't sold any items, which I think is because of the way I have been displaying the store.

Hopefully after finding out that other people have used the Virtuemart component to display Amazon products I will be able to do that too and make the store look 100 times better than it is now,
but still setting up and testing the Virtuemart component to truely see if its possible to do.

Only problem with doing it that way is products will need to be added individually and not as categories which is what was done before, but it does mean I can personally select the items myself and find some great deals for visitors to my site.

Thanks for the advice on how to resolve that if I can't use the Virtuemart to display Amazon products, to be honest I didn't give that much thought until you mentioned it. so very glad you did.

you welcome;) good luck with the migration of vm and amazon
