Two Questions....about table_background_default.gif, and coupon code module....

[Guest]

Salutations:-)

 

I'm a newbie to PHP by about 4 days. I've set up my store (starspuncreations.com) but I had a couple of questions. I've done searches for them, but I guess I must be blind....or possibly just a dumb blonde:P

 

First, the banner table_background_default.gif. I changed it, and the size, but I cannot figure out where to center it:-( For four days I've been going from file to file trying to figure out where everything is (and writing it down in a jumbled mess) and I just can't take it anymore....*lol*.

 

 

Secondly, I've been looking up the coupon code modules and I noticed a couple of things in the contributions folder.

 

Do I need part 1 and part 2 of the latest contribution? Also, it says (I think) that you need OScommerce 2.2, and that you have to overwrite. I only have version 2.0 and I can't risk losing my store and all my work. Everytime I touch something, I mess it up....thank goodness for my backups! Is there an easier way to do this? What can I overwrite, and what can I not touch? Must I update to 2.2?

 

 

Thanks in advance! I know they're stupid questions, but I'm exhausted by this crash course in php:P

You've done some modifications so this might be slightly different for you, however around line 67 in a stock install, look for this code:

 

<td class="pageHeading" align="right"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $category['categories_image'], $category['categories_name'], HEADING_IMAGE_WIDTH, HEADING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></td>

 

Change the class="pageHeading" align"right" to class="pageHeading" align="center"

 

Some times on the contributions it can be a little confusing with the patches that are contributed. Normally what I do is download the latest, and open up the package and see if it contains all the files I expect of just one which usually indicates a patch. The read me file will also normally explain this as well.

 

Nothing is ever quite perfect, and we can't complain because its all on a volunteer basis. Take your time and do be sure to make back ups before you make any changes.

 

Be well,

Tina

Hey there!

Thanks for your reply!

 

Where do I find a stock install? What is it?

 

 

As for the contributions, I don't even know what I'm looking for in terms of files. I only have version 2.0 anyhoo, and I guess all the new stuff is for the version after mine....bummer:-(

I should have used the term clean install, the more common one used here, its late and a long day lol. A "clean" install is one that has no modifications applied to it. You do not need a clean install, its just used as a common point of reference since no one but yourself knows exactly what changes you may have made.

 

Be well,
