Hi, i've followed the tutorials so far and have managed to change my header and i've also replace the 3 gifs with transparent ones. I am trying to edit my styleshee.css but when i try uploading it back into oscommerce it comes back with the following error:

Error: I can not write to this directory. Please set the right user permissions on: /home/lee246/public_html/shop/

 

any ideas please?

Hi Lee,

 

Do you use a ftp program or your control panel?

 

 

Eighter way, you should be able to change the folder permissions. (cmod)

 

If not your hosting provider should be able to assist you in doing so.

I've now discovered that the changes i do make are not visible in the mozilla browser. When i browse my shop in mozilla firefox it still has the original layout colours etc. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Excellent, thanks, it worked a treat.

Back to the first page, it was mentioned that 3 of the default oscommerce graphics need replacing with transaprent ones. I am using photoshop cs 8 but cannot make them transparent. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I know there must be a simple answer to my issue. I tried to edit the shipping.php and well it didn't work. Yes, I did save the original file. I deleted the edited shipping.php file and up loaded the original. My issue is now our shipping page is blank. When I look at the file it is correct without errors. But when I a view page source I see 1 line of html. Any ideas?

Change single infobox backround color

 

I have tried and tried. All I want to do is change the background color of my categories infobox from white to blue and leave all the other infoboxes alone. I have seen the contribs that do this but my infoboxes are all modifed. Is there anyway to add the bgcolor code in categories.php and not modify css or classes etc.

The center boxes like new products are located in the includes/modules folder

the header and footer file is located in the includes folder

This you can do in the stylesheet.css file in your main catalog folder.

This one makes it simple, you do have to use css, but this you can just past in if you like : CSS Categories Box

[sevenresident]

I'd like to add an image (small gif to the left of each category, bullet style) inside the categories box. I've found how to add images to the heading here, but can't find anything about the inside of the categories box.

 

Also, how can I remove the 'right'(->) arrow next to each category?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

i like the look of your site A LIST A PART so I've downloaded and followed the following instructions:

 

"To install copy categories_css.php to the boxes directory under includes and add the category_css.css to the end of your current stylesheet.css. Modify css as necessary to match the look and feel of your site."

Hi, I asked this question somewhere else in the forum but maybe you can help me?

Hi,

 

Somehow my short descriptions in "New in June" are not all on the same height. I think this is because some pictures are landscape or portrait. I would like to fix this by put the valign to "bottom" instead of "top". I tought I had to do this in product_new.php but I'm not able to find where I have to this.

 

I hope somebody had this same problem and has the answer for me?

 

Here you can see what I mean My Webpage

 

Oh, and if you also could tell me how the get the price in that same description bold I would appriciate it.

 

Thanks

How would one change the banner link at the bottom of the index.php page to redirect to another url other than the oscommerce? I was able to change the logo, and set the url, but oscommerce script is overwriting the url associated with the banner.

 

cheers

I found a contrib to let me put pics next to the catagories. I just cant remember the name of it. You can take a look at my site to see what it will do. I suggest searching the contribs for it. www.2daysmarketplace.com It just went live today!!!
