Is there a way of removing the main nav bar from the salespage.php

[gordonmartin]

I removed this code from my salespage.php

<div class="navigation">

<div class="alignleft"></div>

<div class="alignright"></div>

</div>

bit it did not do the trick.

What I am trying to do is to have the main nav bar on the default page but not the salespage, is that possible?

I know that we can switch off the main nav bar in the Socrates control panel, but it switches it off both pages.

I also know that we can switch off the blog header in the posts area for the pages, and that does turn off the nav bar, but it also removes the header

Anyone any ideas?

Any and all comments appreciated

Warmest Regards,

Gordon

Anyone any ideas on this one, I know another possible solution would be to place the actual header within the post, just looking for a few ideas

Probkem I see with the idea of adding the header in the post is that it would look better if it was right at the top and stretching right to the edges in width, not sure how to do that though? Have a look at:

to see what I mean

Sorry for delay.

That code your removed was for page navigation in bottom of post area.

Resize your header to 971 in width, then adjust this css code to fit.

.im-header { position:relative; min-height:150px; padding:5px 0px; left:10px; width:960px; margin:-43px 0px 0px; z-index:3 }

Change padding:5px to 0px and adjust the left padding and see if that centers.

Hi Dan

See http://worldwidevideoproduction.com/single-video

I did as you said, made the width of the header 971 and adjusted the code from 960 to 971

I also made the padding 0 and made the left 0 as well

It still is not the way I wanted it

I wanted it to look like right up at the top and full width to the edges same as what it is at http://worldwidevideoproduction.com

Problem is I cannot add in the blog header like that without also adding in the main Nav bar

Is there a way to elimate the main nav bar from the salespages? Or is that going to be too complicated?

Thanks Dan

It looks like you pulled out the header from the page.

There's no <div class="im-header"> in your source which controls the positioning of the header and you added it to post.

I'll add disabling the navigation bar as the possible feature.

The fastest way to customize would be to duplicate your header.php file and name it header2.php

Comment out or remove

<!-- Main Nav -->
<?php if (!$primaryNav['display']) { ?>
<div class="im-nav"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-admin/admin.php?page=functions.php">Please configure in Socrates Admin Panel</a></div><!-- /close im-nav -->
<?php } else if ($primaryNav['display'] == 'block' ){ ?>
<div class="im-nav">
<?php
socrates_generate_nav_links($primaryNav, '');
?>
</div><!-- /close im-nav -->
<?php } else {?>
<div class="im-nav" style="background:none"></div><!-- /close im-nav -->
<?php } ?>

from header2.php

In salespage.php change

get_header();

to

get_header2();

Should take about a minute to do.

I have tried that Dan, now I am getting a fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header2() in /home/videopro/public_html/wp-content/themes/socrates/salespage.php on line 27

[Dan Nickerson]

sorry try replacing.

get_header2();

with

include "header2.php";

[gordonmartin]

Started to work my way back from the start Dan

Reuploaded an original copy of

header.php
salespage.php
css stylesheet

Now got rid of the fatal error

Going to try your suggestion again

In order for that header2 to appear in the templates section of the editor, do I need to add in something to the functions.php

Is that why I was getting the error

Although I did upload the header2 etc online, maybe there is something I need to specify in functions?

Thanks Dan

[Dan Nickerson]

No the functions.php shouldn't matter. As long as template name is in header2.php file it should appear.

I'm signing off for the night.. Hope it works for you.

Hi Dan, that worked for me and I now have a new sales page and it is showing up in the place it should show

One last thing, please see

Which template do I need to edit to remove thr About Permanent link?

It is my understanding that if I remove that from the index.php it will also remove it from the posts

I had changed the css to remove white spce, but it has made the permanent link too close up at tyhe top? I think that is what has happened

At any rate, is my only choice to edit it out of the index.php or is there a better way?

I understand there are other posts on this, and have looked at them, but am at the moment confused as to which file to edit, I have edited it out of my salespage so far, and was going to take it out by index.php

Unless you have a better idea?

sorry try replacing.

get_header2();

with

include "header2.php";
