Reliable PNG Transparency

[rebekah]

Hi there,

Just in case there's anyone out there like me that needs step-by-step instructions. Here you go!

To begin, visit that link in the first post and scroll down to "Full Source Download" and click that to download the files for this fix. Or, you can save it from here (same source):
http://koivi.com/ie-png-transparency.zip

Here's the steps I took to get this working...

- First, I put the "replacePngTags.php" file in my shop directory (where ZC is installed).

- Then I copied the spacer.png (1x1px image) to my shop/includes/templates/MY_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/images directory. (Your custom template (override directory) may be named something else.)

- I opened the tpl_header.php file located here:

shop/includes/templates/MY_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

and pasted in this code at the very top above everything else...

<?php ob_start(); ?>

- Then, I pasted this code...

<?php
    include_once 'replacePngTags.php';
    echo replacePngTags(ob_get_clean());
?>

at the very bottom, after everything else, in my

shop/includes/templates/MY_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php file.

Hope that helps somebody,
Rebekah

Rebekah,

Thanks for the Step-by-step...

It works great for the pics defined in .php pages (such as header.php) but not from my stylesheet.css ... (for example, i have an image for the footer navigation bar).

Any idea ?

It works with PNG 8 but not 24... which is a 1st step but far from great.

If anyone knows how to keep the transparency of a PNG 24 from the stylesheet.css, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Damien

This is working for the PNG images on the page, but not for the background images. Any way to fix this? Thanks.
