Background template

Recommended Posts

Are you referring to the shaded background on the left and right? if so, right-click on the shaded portion and select "view image". If will show you the graphic image. Also, select "view source" or view page source" from your browser (top menu or right-click menu). All the source code should be there, but you'll need to trace thru the code to find how they use it.

help please

it is just a simple repeating image, he has centered his shop and made a background image that fits that way for the size of the shop...his shop table is probably 750 or 758px and the background image is 1px tall by 1257px wide. Hope this helps :thumbsup: just use illustrator to make the same kinda thing for your shop, it is just a gradient

css code

background-position:center;
	 background-image: url(images/background.gif);

 

where background.gif is is the image you will make to use. Good luck...this is all assuming you have used something like Vger's fixed width with css. Then it will work :thumbsup:

now I am trying this with this contribution http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3570 but i'm not understand that i do.

 

This contribution

It will center your shop and give you the possibilety to set outside background color in the stylesheet.

2. It will remove the default oscommerce cartoonish icons

3. It removes the rounded infobox corners and replaces them with square transparent ones, so you can change the colors in the styleaheet.

4. It removes the osCommerce banner in the footer

5. It will make it easy to have 1 top graphic logo filling the whole header width.

 

 

But in the file .css i don't know what about to insert the background and move the box of the site to the topo of the page same this http://snipesshop.de/

This is a very simple contribution to install. If you do not feel able to install this contribution then you had best not try. People here can advise you and try to help, but you need to either have some knowledge yourself or be willing to learn how to do things. We can't install it for you.

I heve installed it but i don't know about i make the gradient in background same this http://snipesshop.de/ ok??

I task to me is not explained well.

 

see my site http://www.needforexhaust.com/catalog2/index.php

I want insert gradient to left and right of my site same this site http://snipesshop.de/ is to easy but i don't know as make it.

Bye thank a lot

first, you need to change the permissions of your configure file so that it is not writable...that error shows up, next, I will give you the code and the image and you can do the rest

 

here is your stylesheet body code

BODY {
 text-align: center;
 background: #ffffff;
 color: #000000;
 margin: 0px;
}

.fixcenter {
 width: 778px;
 border: solid; border-width: 1px;
 background: #ffffff;
 color: #000000;
 margin: auto;
 margin-top: 20px;
 text-align: left;
}

change it to this

BODY {
text-align: center;
background-position:center;
background-image: url(images/background_fade.gif);
color: #575757;
margin: 0px;
}
.fixcenter {
 width: 758px;
 border: solid; border-width: 1px;
 background: #ffffff;
 color: #000000;
 margin: auto;
 margin-top: 20px;
 text-align: left;
}

you may need to alter the line that says the url of the image depending on where you put the image, now here is the image:

background_fade.gif

save this image to the folder you want it in and then put it to the server as well as modify your code as I have shown you and put the stylesheet to the server and you are done. I hope you appreciate my help and hope you will help someone else when they need it. B)
