AUTONAV appearance - pls help

Permalink
Gentlemen,

I'm in the process of creating a very simple clean website and I want to preserve as much from existing functions/blocks as possible.
I'm not too good in php/css, but was able to do a static mockup in dreamweaver, css worked perfectly.
However, when I replaced my carefuly designed navigation with the AUTONAV block it didn't seem to work. I figured that if I introduce a new entry in css file in connection with "ul li" I can customize the font and list options but the AUTONAV block has a 30 px padding which destroys all alignments.

I need to know which files I need to edit to customize the AUTONAV block only.

Thanks a lot for your help!

1) Go inside <root>/concrete/blocks/autonav/
2) Copy the templates folder
3) Go to <root>/blocks/
4) Create a folder inside called 'autonav'
5) Paste the entire templates folder
6) Go inside templates folder and rename header_menu.php
7) Edit this new file adding the presentation markup you want
8) Edit as well the necessary CSS files inside the theme you are using
9) Add your autonav, then select Apply Block Template--choose the new view you have created for the autonav block

Let me know how it works out

hi jpabellon,
thanks a lot for helping me.
i've done what you suggested but stuck at point 7, i.e. "resentation markup" in php. I'm a complete novice in php so don't really know what to edit.
could you please advise in more detail.
I know CSS and was quite surprised that everything worked out well except for paragraph indent in the autonav which fouls up my layout and positioning.
Basically I've got the AUTONAV within a div with "footernav" ID. In CSS, I've got "footernav" and "footernav ul li" entries. The latter controls the autonav completely except for the indent! (Honestly, I don't understand!!)

Anyway, thanks a bunch if you could help me out in php.

it's here.
i've just quickly created a website to illustrate my point.

basically what I would like is the autonav at the bottom to line up with the left of the text in the maincontent are.
I can't change intent or anything similar to that.

Thank!

you would want the following in your main.css file:

.nav{padding-left: 0px;}
