Guest Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Hi, I'm looking for instructions or contribution on how to split a single gif or jpg image into three seperate pics. I want all my infoboxes to share the same multiple background images to give them a custom look! I'd like to keep it simple by assigning a header-background, body-background, and footer-background to all my infoboxes. With custiom gif headings for my categories. Is this possible? Which php files are involved?? Is there a code snippet I can add to my styesheet to assign the background images for the infoboxes? I think the only mods would be in my class/boxes and the catalog/styesheet. Is this the right path? All comments welcome! Thanks in Advance! Seth
Guest Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Hi, OK FIGUARED IT OUT!! :thumbsup: After waiting and waiting and getting no responce! ACCEPT FROM SO CALLED MEMBERS WHO WANT TO CHARGE ME A FEE TO CODE IT!!! "THAT'S TOTALLY UNCOOL FOR AN OPEN SOURCE FORUM" Anyway, I started coding it myself. After several attemps I found a easy solution. Go to the includes/boxes for tutorial purposes take the categories.php file and open it in a text editor. Look for this text <!-- categories //--> it's around line 61 and 138. All your gouing to do is add html code to setup your tables and graphics, it's super simple.. :thumbsup: Here's the original code unmodified. <?php /* $Id: categories.php,v 1.25 2003/07/09 01:13:58 hpdl Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright © 2003 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ function tep_show_category($counter) { global $tree, $categories_string, $cPath_array; for ($i=0; $i<$tree[$counter]['level']; $i++) { $categories_string .= " "; } $categories_string .= '<a href="'; if ($tree[$counter]['parent'] == 0) { $cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $counter; } else { $cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $tree[$counter]['path']; } $categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) .
