    Shopping Cart Background

    in Customising Look & Feel

    I think Ija is right in that the problem is with your templates!!!

    First, why are you specifying body attributes directly in the templates instead of in you layout.css?

    I had a feeling it may be something like this, because if you had correctly edited the css files BOTH index and cart should act the same.

    index.tp:

    :( I'll get a new text editor soon and check it out, if someone else doesn't find all the quirks first - I'm sure someone will help you very soon, though, this is a friendly forum :D It is a little disturbing that you have a background set in the active body tag of index and none in cart. It would seem that here lies the problem. Be aware that you are using deprecated html tags ( bg=" " ) where you should be using styles. Styles inline within the document look a little different than styles in the stylesheet. The correct way to write them in the document is: B) You have some bugs there for sure :DEDIT OK, I've got it now! bg.jpg exists; bg.gif doesn't. That's why the bg shows in index, but not cart! HERE IS THE CORRECT SOLUTION: 1. GET RID OF ALL THE STUFF BETWEEN THE HTML COMMENT TAGS 2. GET RID OF THE BG= STUFF THAT YOU STUCK INTO THE INDEX.TPL BODY TAG - BE SURE AND LEAVE THE BODY TAG ITSELF 3. EDIT LAYOUT.CSS TO LOOK LIKE THIS: 

    <!--

body {

	background-image: url(http://www.wineslippers.com/products/skins/Killer/styleImages/backgrounds/bg.jpg);

	margin-left: 0px;

	margin-top: 0px;

	margin-right: 0px;

	margin-bottom: 0px;

}

-->

</style></head>



<body bg="http://www.wineslippers.com/bg.jpg">
    



cart.tpl:





    <!--

body {

	background-image: url(http://www.wineslippers.com/bg.gif);

}

-->

</style></head>



<body>
    



As seen above, you have pasted body styles in the form they should appear in a stylesheet into thye head section of the templates - they are commented out, so they have no effect. I can only assume you pasted them there for reference while you edited the templates?



At any rate, for clarity's sake, you should delete the portions you have commented out - the portions between the html comment tags:





    <!--      -->
    



because you certainly don't need them.



I cannot tell much about your css files yet, because I use Notepad, and they've been edited with something else which makes them difficult to read in Notepad (I know, I'm in the Dark Ages on this one).  
    <body style="background-image:url(your_background_image.jpg);">
    



When we type your image URL in the browser, nothing shows, as said Iia wrote, the file doesn't seem to exist  
    body  {

       margin:5px;

       background-image: url(http://www.wineslippers.com/bg.jpg);

}

    Then everything should work just fine :D

    @ sunshine - I'm assuming it's the Legend you're having a problem with? I'm on my way out the door, but will look into it when I get in this eve. I've noticed how the "Latest Prods" title gets cut off in the Legend. I've found it to be an issue with the stock skin as-is, and corrected it on my first store. I'll correct it on this skin as well . . .

    @ jbdancer - the skins will be available at cc3.biz. The store is not quite functional yet, but my skins and tutorials will be very cheap, from 99 cents to 4.99 and free for licensed CC users :D

    You can visit my store, but the gateway and usergroups aren't set up yet, and the look will be changing daily as I settle on a final look for the store.

    You can view the skins at test stores right now, and the ones I'm actually working on at any given time can be seen at cc3.biz/test/

    Thanks for everyone's help in de-bugging my Classic Full Screen.

    I have a Legend full screen and a couple of other very basic skins that are nearly completed. I look through the skins with Netscape and IE . . . but would like to get feedback from users with different browsers.

    If you see a problem, please point it out along with your browser name and version and your screen resolution.

    Thanx a million!

    Hi markscarts! Thank you so much for the info, I'll try that out later today. I haven't heard anything from evilhomer, and it's kind of important that I get the ugly white background fixed...could you help? :)

    Thanks!

    Hi, I can help you, but can't promise how quickly.

    The easiest way would be for you to zip a copy of your skin's complete file, and let me check it out.

    At the very least, I will need to see layout.css, styles.css, global/index.tpl and global/cart.tpl.

    . . . WHICH would probably be a worthwhile mod/hack IMO ;)

    If I knew the programming, I'd make one. At present, cats & subcats can have a NAME and an IMAGE associated with them. Adding the potential for a DESCRIPTION and possible a SUBTITLE would be very useful, IMO . . .

    Thanks, Vrakas, of course I've tried it w/o the www - but I haven't yet bypassed my proxy settings. A bit of a PITA just to see a website ;)

    Bypassed proxy, now I can buy all the handbags my heart desires ;)

    BTW, looks like a good program you're using there. I just use a standard screenshot utility. . .

    :D

    Look in the DOWNLOADS section, under CubeCart 3 Hacks & Modifications , in the Tutorials & Documentation category - the file changeLogo.zip is a A Visual Guide to Customizing Your Header in CubeCartâ„¢ 3 !!!

    This visual reference consists of 9 pages in the PDF format, explaining how to create the right images and adjust the correct styles for changing the look of your header in Classic, Killer and Legend skins.

    It is written for folk who have little or no knowledge of styesheets, etc. and I hope it is easily understood, and forms a practical guide to lead them through the process.

    Download it, have a look, and let me know what you think of it . . .

    Thanks for the screenshot! I still can't get that page to load for some reason B)

    My avatar is showing . . . it is a li'l red "x" :D:DB)

    Actually, I haven't re-created thumbnails for my glassware store yet, which is where I get my avatar.

    @ shawnlovebaobao, the skin will be very simple to create . . . however the dropdowns for mfg, cat, price would have to be a separate mod from skin.

    I'd be glad to help if you can't find a reasonable "skinner" . . . the skin should not cost $100, unless you have to have the drop-down mod with it.

    Good luck!

    Hi Frank,

    I do not know that this is necessarily the best way to do it, but it is a suggestion of a way that I would find easy to do . . .

    1. Instead of adding a category, add a site document, "Weddings."

    2. Add photos, text, etc. and your instructions.

    3. Place a link to the Weddings page up in the category box as though it were another category. You would write the link in HTML on the categories.tpl which you will find in your_skin/styleTemplates/boxes/categories.tpl

    Adding links there is covered in the forum in many places . . . folk like to place their home site URL there - a search may help you in placing links there if you need the help.

    Nightywolf, the background colors on the item list (light blue on your site) are set syle.css:

    .tdEven {

	background-color: #FFFFFF;

}

.tdOdd {

	background-color: #EBEDFE;

}
    



. . . for the store, and for the list of items in the cart it is:





    .tdcartEven {

	background-color: #EBEDFE;	

}

.tdcartOdd {

	background-color: #FFFFFF;

}

    As to the white surrounding background in the cart, that is a bit of a puzzler. Is evilhomer digging into it for you? I can help if e.h. isn't on it already; otherwise, he'll have it figured out pretty quickly anyway. :)
