Magento configuration

[owas]

Hi,
Any suggestion on how I can remove the header column, logo and all, as well as the right column and the footer, I know this sounds bizzar but there's method in the madness

If you want to completely remove sections the best way to do that is in the Layout XML.

You need to look at:
/public_html/app/design/frontend/{yourTemplate}/default/layout/

From there look at the corresponding XML file. In this case look at page.xml and comment out the blocks you dont want using comment tags
<!-- ANYTHING IN HERE IS COMMENTED OUT -->

Obviously you need to look at other xml files to remove other blocks in certain places etc

its often better to create a file called local.xml and make your layout changes here

Choose '1 column' layout for categories in admn zone and apply this layout to all products in this category.

thanks, okay next questions :redface: what the best way to change permssion on the files, more so magneto connect manager, but do all of them need to be changed to 755?
I found this, but not sure how or where to right the command?

Open up your SSH client and go to the directory where Magento is installed. Once you are there, copy and paste the following command:

find . -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
* If you are on a cPanel server you need to do this

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
(or just go to your file manager and choose 755
