Searching the forums, I know I'm not alone with this ...

When I export a theme from SC Designer, my "Home" button disappears. Assuming I can figure out how to retrieve it, how do I edit the text?

A quick and dirty explanation of my problem(s) here -

Once I've got a solution I think I'll publish a screencast to show how it's done, because there must be others tearing their hair out with this.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Phil,
First for the Shop Home text.
Click on Pages at the top of SCCP. Under basic info tab click on the Shop Home text then the edit pencil at the bottom of that menu.
Second,
Now if you look at the middle of your screen this is the area that will contain the text and or anything else that you want on it.
2 birds with one stone. How awesome is that!

Hi Rolly

All that seems to do is allow one to edit the button name. I still don't see how to add the textual "content" like that which appears in SC Designer themes.

I have managed to add a "Home" button, but it appears at the end of the navigation bar. Shouldn't "Home" appear automatically from the export from SC Designer?

There are 99 pages in the pdf help file for Designer and 47 for Creator - it's a bit of a minefield so far, and a "Quick Start" which covers the basic needs would help. I'm sure I'll get there, but it's not proving easy!

Phil

When you clicked on "Pages" did you see the big blank white space in the middle of your screen?

My apologies, Rolly ...

Yes, I see how to add the text now, although it's a long way down the page. However, if I'd kept an image it wouldn't look so bad - it would be nice to move the text up the page. I guess I could replace the image with text converted to an image?

I don't know if that makes sense?

Thanks for you help, I'll press on!

You can enter html or CSS to adjust the position of the text.
Paste this code into the HTML tool window on your page. Then adjust the top and left to your needs. You can use neg. values.

Aha!

Yes, I suppose once one starts actually publishing the relevant files then HTML and CSS can be edited.

That's givene me a few ideas to play with - thanks!

Phil

That code will preview just fine no publishing needed.
Here's some that I've been working on.

Like it!

Me thinks I should plough through the pdf files again and remind myself of all the options and functions.

Thanks Rolly - you've opened my eyes to a few things that maybe I should have spotted before.

I think I'm likely to make some progress now!
