Is anyone able to help ?

 

i am trying to set my heading to background and then place a banner on the right hand side of the page?

 

is there a code for this? or is it in my file manager panel ?

Do not use your file manager... ever.

 

To make the image a background you need to edit the cell.

Open catalog/includes/header.php with whatever editer you are using after you have downloaded it to your computer using an FTP program.

 

Look for

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr class="header">
   <td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce') . '</a>'; ?></td>
   <td align="right" valign="bottom"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_account.gif', HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT) . '</a>  <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_cart.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS) . '</a>  <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_checkout.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT) . '</a>'; ?>  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

That is the table with the osCommerce banner image in it and the 3 images on the right.

Here is an example of what I think you are talking about doing.

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr class="header">
   <td valign="middle" background="images/yourimage.jpg"><?php
 if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50')) {
?>
<br>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
   <td align="center"><?php echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td>
 </tr>
</table>
<?php
 }
?></td>
   <td align="right" valign="bottom"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_account.gif', HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT) . '</a>  <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_cart.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS) . '</a>  <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_checkout.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT) . '</a>'; ?>  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

But I left the 3 mages on the right so not sure exactly if that will work but you should be able to figure out how to change it from there.

To "reset" the store...

If your store has no modifications... like contributions installed, the easiest thing would be to reupload the install folder, if you have deleted the original one, then run the install again MAKING SURE (sorry for the caps but this is important lol) you uncheck the box that says import database. Don't forget to set all the permissions correctly to install (both configure.php files) and then after install. (those 2 files again and your images folder)

 

This will allow you to have a fresh install of osCommerce AND keep your database so you don't have to set everything back up again.

 

You can also do this if you have contributions installed but you will have to go back over the install instructions for every contribution and do everything they say but add the SQL information.

 

I would definately suggest you back up the database onto your hard drive which is a very easy thing to do. Just log into your phpmyadmin, click on your database name if it isn't already selected. Select Export from the top left, then on the new page do select all. Now you may have other options. Different versions of phpmyadmin are a bit different but that should be all you need to do. The save it to your hard drive naming it something you will remember.

 

Hope that makes sense and helps.

Well since you said you did try to edit some files in the file manager you should download the osCommerce zip file. Unzip it on your hard drive. Find the catalog folder inside there and upload everything you find in there to the folder on your server to where all your osCommerce files are. If you look at the files you should be able to see what needs to go where. Just compair file names.

 

How you upload it is the same way as you would upload your images.

Hope this helped.
