Another background image issue

[G6 Distribution]

So I decided I wanted a tile logo in the background instead of the light blue color that is presently there. I researched the forums and found my answer of putting the image here - includes/templates/classic/images/imagename.gif. I then went to css in the classic folder and under body tried numerous different things, mainly with background: url(includes/templates/classic/images/g6distro_logo_short _supersmall.GIF); somewhere in it. Each time it would greatly alter my home page to a distorted view with larger fonts, etc. It would not place any logos or tiles of the logo on the background. Any ideas? I tried for a few hours before giving up.

Just tested in Dragonfly and seems to work

<style type="text/css">
body { background-image: url("includes/templates/classic/images/g6distro_logo_short _supersmall.GIF"); background-repeat: repeat; }
</style>

So i tried inserting that like this

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-image: url("includes/templates/classic/images/g6distro_logo_short_supersmall.GIF"); background-repeat: repeat;
}

and was still unable to get it to put the background logo in tiles. I checked in Google chrome, Firefox and I.e. All 3 show it the same with no tiled logos in the background. Is there something I'm missing here?

my bad, that would work if it was in the head by itself

un try either

background-image: url("../images/g6distro_logo_short_supersmall.GIF"); background-repeat: repeat;

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-image: url("../images/g6distro_logo_short_supersmall.GIF"); background-repeat: repeat;
}



Failed to work as well. I know its probably something easy or my lack of understanding it. Let me know if you have any other ideas. To recap though to make sure no simple mistakes are made. I put the images in the Includes/templates/classic/images folder and make the CSS changes in the Includes/templates/classic/css folder, correct?

Btw Nigelt74 I appreciate you working with me on this.

The image is missing, because its not there in the folder anymore

I just tried the code i used yesterday and it doesn't work, whereas yesterday it worked and i have your logo repeating all over the background

Basically, put the image back and it should work

when i follow this link the image should appear, currently it doesn't

http://g6distribution.com/zencart/in...supersmall.GIF


Please provide a direct link to the image, so i can see it

[nigelt74]

also what is the correct name of the image.

in your first post you state it as (note the space after short)

g6distro_logo_short _supersmall.GIF

but in your follow up post you state it as (note no space after short)

g6distro_logo_short_supersmall.GIF


The first one worked yesterday but now no longer seems to work

Hell Yes! I got it to work using body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-image: url("../images/g6distro_logo_short_supersmall.GIF"); background-repeat: repeat;
}

The image was in an incorrect folder. I tried to copy and paste it to another folder, however the copy in the ftp file manager is more of a cut and paste option. I'll change that logo up later, but its working and that's what matters. Thanks again Nigelt74!
