(SOLVED) How to delete some sections in template 15

[DickvV 0]

 

 

Dear reader,

In my genealogy website https://www.dickvanvels.nl/genealogie I use template 15. You can see there that I do not want to use all sections.

Under setup / template settings / template 15 I can fill in / change / delete the texts for the various sections. But I don't know how to delete the headings myself, for example sidebar heading 2 and 3. It must be an easily solvable problem, I've done it before but I don't know how to do it anymore. Help!

And also: how do I adjust the dimensions of the images. The portrayed gentleman with a pipe on the home page is far too big ...

Thanks in advance! Dick

 

Various answers appeared to this question, which I was not able to handle at first.

In the meantime I have seen how I can remove any sections in the website via phpMyAdmin. We succeeded . The images are now at the desired size. What I am not able to do is to remove both bars in green color on the right side of the homepage. I have the impression that this has to be done somewhere else than in the database. The same applies to the section "SEARCH" at the bottom right. I also do not know how to remove these.

You may be able to help me with this.

Thanks in advance,

Dick

Only now did I see that there was already an answer from Michael ...

Hi Dick,

if there is no option to delete the entries from admin=>configuration=>template=>template15,

I would delete following entires in the template15/index.php manually:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                <section class="widget widget_text">
                    <div class="">
                        <h4 class="widget-title"><?php echo getTemplateMessage('t15_sidebarhead2'); ?></h4>
                        <div class="">
                            <a href="<?php echo $tmp['t15_featurelink7']; ?>" title="" class="alignleft"><img src="<?php echo $cms['tngpath'] . $templatepath . $tmp['t15_featurethumb7']; ?>" class="" alt="" height="150" width="150"></a>
                            <?php echo getTemplateMessage('t15_featurepara7'); ?>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </section>
                <section class="widget widget_text">
                    <div class="">
                        <h4 class="widget-title"><?php echo getTemplateMessage('t15_sidebarhead3'); ?></h4>
                            <a href="<?php echo $tmp['t15_featurelink8']; ?>" title="" class="alignnone"><img src="<?php echo $cms['tngpath'] . $templatepath . $tmp['t15_featurethumb8']; ?>" class="" alt="" height="200" width="360"></a>
                        <div class="">
                            <?php echo getTemplateMessage('t15_featurepara8'); ?>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </section>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear readers,

Thanks to your help, I managed to remove the mentioned sections partly via phpMyAdmin and partly manually via template15 / index.php.

I would also like to delete the section at the bottom right of "SEARCH". I can't find a way for that in the index.php. Who knows what to do?

Regards,

Dick

Hi Dick,

what do you want to delete ?

Login-Button ?

Hi Dick,

I had a deeper look into template15-Files (index.php and topmenu.php) and I tried to examine your page.

It seems for this template 15 (in contrary to other templates, for example 18, where I use a modified version) adjustments were administrated by database and not  in a php-File.
 

Now I understand your problem and currently I do not have a glance, how and where changes could be made...

Sorry,

Michael

Hi Michael,

It's a shame, but there is nothing to do about it. The section I wanted to change is at the bottom right of the homepage:

ZOEK - Doorzoek deze site - Zoek

Maybe there is a solution...??

Regards,

Dick

Perhaps I misunderstand, but to remove the 'search box' and text, If you remove code in template15 folder's footer.php:

                <section class="widget widget_search">
                    <div class="">
                        <h4 class="widget-title-footer"><?php echo $text['search']; ?></h4>
                        <form method="get" class="search-form" action="helpme" role="search" onsubmit="return searchGoogleWebSite('<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>')">
                            <input name="s" id="GoogleText" placeholder="<?php echo $text['searchsite']; ?> ..." type="search">
                            <input value="<?php echo $text['search']; ?>" type="submit">
                        </form>
                    </div>
                </section>

It will be removed.

Dear Ron,

Yes, you can see that I still have a lot to learn. It is indeed a section in the footer!
Thanks for your help!
