bubbles template

[paul_h]

hi all just a quick question,

 

I downloaded and installed one of the free template from the addon section, I have been having plenty of fun using this as a base while i get my head into this program :)

 

i have had no trouble so far with what i have done but cannot figure out one of the the simplest of things

 

all i wanted to do was change the main background of the pages from plain black, either to another colour or a repeated image.

 

i assume i am trying to edit the correct thing :)

 

catalog/stylesheet.css currently has the following

 

BODY {

background: #ffffff;

color: #000000;

margin: 0px;

}

 

A {

color: #000000;

text-decoration: none;

}

 

not being too clued up on this yet i am hoping someone could explain what i need to change as it doesnt seem to matter what i do it just stays black, am i looking at the wrong thing or has does this free template work in a different way?

 

thanks

 

paul

Try adding

 

background-color:#ffffff;

 

to the BODY tag.

thanks but still doesnt seem to work

 

can anyone post the code for me that should work to change the backgound (the 2 strips either side of the site) from black please

 

there seems to be a problem and really cannot see what it is, hopefully its obvious to someone :)

 

thanks

If you post your URL (or PM it to me) I can probably help.

I'd bet your template has generated it's own CSS or CSS entry. It maybe named different.

In this part of the stylesheet:

 

body, html {
 background:#000000;
 color: #000000;
 margin: 0px;
 padding:0px;
 text-align: center;
}

 

Change the first two lines to this:

 

  background:#ffffff;
 color: #ffffff;

Sometimes after changing the stylesheet in order to see any change you have to hold the <Ctrl> key down while doing a page refresh in the browser to force the browser to reload all contents from the server, including the newly changed stylesheet.

 

This works with IE and Firefox.

Thanks Jim for also benefiting me on this issue, I had just replaced the background image on the same brilliant template from the catalog/images with the one I prefer and seeemed to work.

 

Two issues though:

1. However, my problem comes when I add another column (3rd) on the New Product module from admin. As both the left and right columns of the infoboxes shift outward accordingly, both the header, (with my logo) and the footer do not follow suit, they remain in their original positions and out of line. How do I make them move outward as I add the 3rd column of products?

 

2. I appreciate that you might not be familiar with the bubble template, but under general, do you have any suggestion as to which method I could use to add more information pages which could be easy for any add-on/template? I've tried eg using the catalog/shipping.php route and did the necessary changes in corresponding files, the new page appears in the information box but somehow, the link is broken, I can't get the page opened/linked up? I understand this could be a long short but had to try anyway

 

Thanks in advance
