Adding a background image

[Jen Will]

I am not looking to rebuild the template all I want is to add a background image thats all. I already have a back up of the style sheet.

If you continue to make changes in the /classic/ folders, YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN BY THE NEXT UPGRADE/UPDATE. Creating your own template is simple (follow the list I posted) and will save you much heartache later on.

This is where I added the background image to do the Fan Odyssey site.

#mainWrapper {

#logoWrapper{

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {

#navCatTabsWrapper {

.centerBoxWrapper {

.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {

.sideBoxContent {

Ok so I just found this out now. I'm new at Zen-Cart. Question:

I have spent days building categories and uploading products. From what I can see when I change templates I lose any categories, products, customer info, banner settings, etc. It would take days to go back and make all those changes. Without changing code is there a way to migrate these types of settings from one template to another so I can start using my own template without having to redo all the settings and re-upload all the data again? I really hope so.

Thanks.

You shouldn't lose categories or products by changing the template.

[siditty]

is it possible to create a page in my webeditor and copy the style sheet into my custom template - without effecting the operational function of zen?

You shouldn't lose categories or products by changing the template.

But how do I copy over banner positions, features that are turned on or off, etc?

Start with Misty's suggestion above.

Mod below should help
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=260
i.e.

Make your current layout settings (i.e. for your current template) be the default.

You'll get a new button at the bottom of the layout boxes controller screen (admin-_tools-_layout boxes controller)
which updates the layouts defaults to match the settings you have for your current template.
It means that if you switch to a new template, you'll be able to use the reset button (already there) to restore 'your' default sidebox settings.
