Find the code which hide the top links

Question

we have top links in our site1 as below

store view switcher,  My Cart, Checkout, Register, Log In

for some reason we removed it and made it like site2

we want to know what code is removing the top links, because we want to display those links again.

Answer 1

Well, it's hard to guess just by looking at the website.

It's definitely not CSS so it could be one of those two possibilites

Removed via XML : if you have a local.xml file, the following code removes the top links:

<remove name="top.links" />

Removed via PHTML : open your app/design/<your_package>/<your_theme>/template/page/html/header.phtml and look for the following code:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('topLinks') ?>

Or

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('top.links') ?>

If you can't find it, that means that's how the top links have been removed and you need to add that code back to the template.
