Goanna Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I want to have a frontpage similar to www.madmacgames.com where the products images appear inside bacground images. I also want the infoboxes to not be visible, as they are on that site. I know how to do that with the infoboxes on both sides, but I want to be able to do it to all the content that is displayed in the center. How would I go about those two things?

Guest Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Why don't you ask the people whose sites you ahve seen it on? Or have a look in the contribs section - I vaguely recall contribs with images in infoboxes. I have found all sorts of interesting and useful titbits when I actually take the time to look through the contribs section. But I don't know how to do it - sorry.

♥yesudo Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 create the back ground image - then reduce the image size of your product image - paste it onto the background image - then save the whole thing. you will then need to create an image map - see here: http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/tutorials/imagemapping.html then incorporate the imagemapping code on the store pages where products are displayed. that is how i try do it. Your online success is Paramount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goanna Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 Thanks for the info. Dont know how I could have overlooked the obvious way of doing it manually, but I am looking for it to be done automatically, so I guess I need to follow that link, thanks again.

Guest Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 The Madmacgames boxes are not done with an image map - there are several backgrounds and left, right, top, middle, bottom images - links and product images appear over a background image (the main box image has the shadow - so whatever product image overlays it appears to have a shadow).

Goanna Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 Johnson, what file controls how the product images are displayed? Where would I have to include the html for a background image to be displayed behind the product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
