1. I want to delete the toplinks and bottomlinks altogether. I have a header and a footer that is on all pages which has all the links needed, so the toplinks and bottomlinks are redundant. I have searched the forums and found references to make changes to global.php from the theme/language/eng/global.php file. I loaded this one and tried to just delete the lines containing the info on those links, it made no difference. In searching these forums for help, I also found reference to a top_link.php file, but I cannot find that anywhere. Does that file still exist? The posts I found that referenced it were old, so wondered if this file was done away with in newer versions. If someone can please direct me to the proper file to edit to just delete those links completely I would be grateful!

2. My footer is messed up - it is all bunched up along the right side, as if it were a block. I added the footer info under Admin/Settings. It worked fine, was displaying properly along the bottom of the page where footers should be. Then I was messing around trying to fix something else, and I wonder if somehow I messed up the footer file? Can someone please help me get it back along the bottom where it belongs?

3. Space between top of page and header. I want my header to be snug up against the top of the page, but there is about 1 inch of dead space. I tried to delete the title, where it says Scribblesonline.com but that didn’t' make a difference. How can I do that?

Thanks for any and all help!

1. What version of PostNuke are you running, and what theme?

2. Sounds like somewhere you're missing a , or an opening

3. Could be CSS padding, check your style sheet.

ok, I can check the CSS style sheet and double check the HTML code for the missing strings you mentioned.
as for your questions, I thought I gave all that info in the bottom of my post:

using PostNuke theme
Version: (0.750-Gold)

thanks!!

My mistake, what I meant to ask was - are you using the Xanthia version of the PostNuke theme?

oh yes, I am using the Xanthia PostNuke theme. I didn't realize there was more than one PostNuke one.

I checked the HTML code for the things you said might be missing - I am prob just missing it and showing my ignorance of the whoel process. But, I tried to insert and take out , or an opening
everwhere, but nothing worked. Can you take a look at if for me?

this is from the Admin/Setting:


For my problem of extra space at the top, I checked the StyleNN.css file from retrieved from Theme/PostNuke/Style/StyleNN.css and saw several places where padding was mentioned - I changed it but nothing happened. THis is the original code from that file:


Thanks again for your help!

To see any changes you make, you'll need to turn on 'Check for updated versions of templates' and turn off 'Store templates in database'

ok, that is helpful, thanks!
I managed to accomplish some of my tasks:

1. toplinks and bottomlinks gone - great. However, now my footer is not showing up on my main page, www.scribblesonline.com at all. If you go to some of the other pages within PostNuke, like Downloads, or Member List, the footer is still showing on the right hand side. How can I get back on the main page, but showing along the bottom of the screen?

2. Footer problem - see above

3. Space between header and top of page - fixed! Yay! If you look at it in IE, the header looks ok (not great, as I would like for it to be centered on the page), but if you look at is using Mozilla, one of the images in the header is covering up part of the other images. I am sure that has something to do with the positioning, but I have tried changing it several different ways, and cannot make it get in and stay in the correct place.

More help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

BTT - can anybody offer some help?
please?

1. In themes/yourtheme/templates/modules/home.htm, you are probably missing the footer tag.

2. I can only suggest you keep looking at the HTML until you find what's causing this....
