Left justify top banner

Could someone let me know how I can left justify the top banner the way it used to be?  In fact, is there a way to left justify the entire menu instead of having it centered?  

I am starting the long slog of trying to get partly back to where I was with http://caltrade.com/members before I did the upgrade to 7.14.  At least I would like it to look not to crappy, and it looks horrible now.   I am still unclear of why they removed the flash banner, or how I get it back   Can I use the template from another 7.09 site?  

Also, does anyone know if this mod that Prashank did for putting a login in the top right still works with 7.14?  It was really nice.

I just removed the searchbox per Deano's technique, but it looks like they have put links in that top right space now, and I don't kow what will happen if I do it.

They introduced the service menu and there is a builder for it in the backend.  If you click login, then the login box comes up on the screen.  Anyway, there is a template for it as well which can be used to change it or add items that are not part of the service menu.

If the banner is the logo, then in general.css for the particular template you are using look for div.sys_ml_wrapper.  There is a text-align:center, just make that text-align:left.  Do you want it all the way over to the left near the browser left margin?  If so, find in the same general.css
div.sys_ml and adjust the margins.  Currently it has margin:0 auto; the auto is for making it centred on the page.

For the menu, that is held in a table.  In top_menu.css find table.topMenu.  You will see the margin: 0 auto; thing again, the auto is why the table is centred.  Do you want it all the way flush to the left margin of the browser as well?  If so, then in top_menu.css find div.sys_mm; again you will find the margin: 0 auto; thingy.

By the way, I did all that by using firebug and examining the css for your template.

As for the flash banner, there are all manners of open source flash banners on the internet that you might actually like better than the old one.  You can still edit the banner area in the basic settings in the backend.  If you find a flash banner system out on the net you like but are unsure about installing it on your site, just send me a PM.

 And you know you can edit your post here too, all that in four posting in 14 minutes..

lol now I see how your post amount is rising so high.

[edit] the reason for saying something, when you do this you clear the recent post list with your single postings that could have been edited; no wonder we cannot keep up with post and they get buried so fast.

I will take this light-heartedly Newton and laugh with you. Laughing

He presented several different topics in the same post if you care to go back and read it.  I broke down each of his questions into separate answers for clarity; also, I worked on each one separately and posted the results after I had studied his template.

As for the number of posts, there is no contest here that I know of on the number of posts and if there is one I have no interest in it.  I am trying to learn as much as trying to help.  Looking at problems presented helps me to gain more of an understanding about Dolphin which I can then used back in maintaining and improving my site.

Oh, one more thing if Newton does not mind Smile.

If you look, you will see that the paragraph in the html block you added is flush to the left margin; the designbox css does not take that into consideration.  Of course paragraphs need a margin from the page edge just as in a book.  Now you can edit the css for the designbox adding one for the <p> tag but you can also edit the block, go into html edit mode and add styling to the paragraph; <p style="padding-left:20px;"> or 15 px is 20 is too much.

Newton will think I am doing this on purpose Laughing.  I just keep seeing things that needs fixing.  In the menu, _bx_store_menu_root indicates the language keys have not been added.  Try going into the back end to the module list.  Click the checkbox beside the module and then go down and click on "compile languages" or something similar to that and see if it adds the language keys to the system.  If not, we will have to investigate further.
