 Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 9:42 am Post subject: Custom template modification |
 |
|
Hi,
I am new to shop site. I have built a site using crop circles template and have overwritten the site so the crop circles don't show on the pages, but they still seem like they exist when the page is loading. Also, sometimes it seems like shopsite will re-write changes I make to colors and other things. I don't know much about code or anything so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc |

How have you "overwritten the site so the crop circles don't show"
Some templates use specific colors and changing colors on the edit Page Layout screen (or other such fields) may not have an effect on the actual pages. This is because certain parts of the theme may use images that have to match the colors. So color settings are not used because they wouldn't match the special images used in the theme. |

thanks for replying ,
we replaced the circles with an image, but it seems like we are just covering it up rather than replacing it. |

Where are you replacing the circles with an image
The image used is defined in the template depending on the color that is selected for the theme. The image is being used as a background so if you add another image to a page it would be placed on top of the image. If you want to replace the image you will need to modify several templates including the page template, an include file, and most likely the shopping cart, search, tell a friend, customer registratiion and gift certificate templates too. |

i believe we changed the image in the page layout area. however, we could not change anything on the cart page so the crop circles show there .here is a link to the store
http://www.idsdesign.biz/store, if you click through the pages you will see what i am talking about. |

Try putting a link to your image in the Commerce Setup > Order System > Shopping cart > Text at the top of the
Shopping Cart screen: field.
something like this should work.
| Code: | <div id="header"><p><img alt="CHHeader6.jpg" width="900" height="260" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0" src="http://www.idsdesign.biz/store/media/CHHeader6.jpg" /> </p><br></div>

I don't notice the circles on any of the pages except the shopping cart. I'm using firefox 3.5.4 for my browser. |
