    Great Template. I've modified it some for my taste, but it's a nice look. I have one minor problem, and I hope you can point me in the right direction.

    This is my test site to go live soon.
    http://vtjewelry.powershifthosting.com/celtic/

    Loads nicely in FF, but IE (v6) makes the background image extend to the right beyond the header graphic and way beyond the sideboxes. I have my header set to 909px just like the BG image, and I even forced the width in the CSS file to 909px, but it still extends to around 943px. The BG image apears to be correct as the page loads, but nce it finishes, the image ends up too long.

    Any guidance is appriciated. Thank you very much.
    Jon,

    Sorry, I don't have IE6 available so I can't check what the problem might be. But if the image is 909 x 120 and the space it goes in is 909 x 120, then I'd assume that everything should fit.

    Maybe try adding a width to this declaration in includes/templates/forest_path/css/stylesheet.css

    #headerWrapper {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    width:909px;
    }

    You might also want to look at this post to correct an issue with IE7

    Clyde,

    I finally had a minute to look at this again. I fixed the problem. I realized the reason the right side was too wide was that the BG image was repeating, but only displaying 50 px wide or so. To fix it, I added the following to ie_stylesheet.css

    #mainWrapper {
    margin: 0 auto;
    background: url(../images/wrapper_bg.jpg) repeat-y;
    text-align: left;
    width: 909px;
    vertical-align: top;
    }

    Notice the addition of repeat-y to the Background statement. For those that need an explanation, that forces the background image to only tile vertically. Thus it can't wrap back up to display again.

    I think I'll add it to stylesheet.css too. Won't hurt.

    I'm a bit confused, first you say that the template looks good on your site and then you say it isn't showing in the list.

    As far as editing - what exactly is it you want to edit?

    Hi Clyde
    on the site http://craftyannshop.com/ the site looks fine I changes the column size to 160 and the box split so I changed it back to 150
    I have deleted the text on the main page can I add a picture there

    In the header I would like to change the small image and and the name to Crafty Ann's Shop
    something like this http://www.craftyann.com/index.html obviously the image we have there is to big for the header what size restrictions are there

    The other problem I had was trying to load it on my local machine I have used the e-start book to create a site on my computer I copied and pasted the includes file into the store folder so the files are in the same place as on line but when I go into the local admin the template is not listed as it was online I rebooted and still nothing there but I can see the files in the includes folder

    Thanks for answering this really is my first attempt to do this

    Sure you can add any text or image you need.
    go to admin -> tools -> Define Pages Editor (select define_main_page.php from the dropdown menu) and you can make any changes you need.

    You can create a new logo for your site name it logo.gif and save it to includes/templates/forest_path/images/logo.gif

    The size can be anything you want (but I wouldn't make it much bigger than 300px wide x 100px high. Once that's done you'll need to make a couple of edits

    includes/languages/english/forest_path/header.php
    define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '200');
    define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '75');

    includes/templates/forest_path/css/stylesheet.css
    #logoWrapper{
    height:75px;
    width:100%;
    position: relative;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    }

    The mainWrapper of the site is an image file that is 909px wide and 10px high and repeated vertically down the page.

    If you want to change that then you'll need to create a new image using whatever color(s) you choose.

    Hi clyde
    Found the wrapper_bg.gif and overlaid it to create the back round looks pretty good looks like the words are on the backround instead of being a picture.
    So far so good still lot's to learn and do but getting there
