header_bg.jpg>>?

hey moose i took that chance without backin up, more over i don't know how to restore back up files anyways
so i did took that above^^^ help and probably same help at HELP files right...

the whole template changed when i appllied that f***** stylesheet.css
was foolish that i took the chance

now i m not gettin back the original look which i made before, so now its all upside down

i m now again at the start point!

can u tell me lookin at my site wht can i do now to get the original template

hey by the way i have seen ur site it is very soothin gud work

You are getting the /template_default/ stylesheet instead of the /classic/ stylesheet you should be using. Either you copied the /template_default stylesheet into /classic/css/stylesheet.css, or you moved /classic/css/stylesheet.css somewhere else or renamed it or deleted it.

How did you edit the files? What editor did you use? In your file manager, can you see anything that resembles your stylesheet name in any folder under /includes/templates/classic/?

I don't mean to muddy the waters, but I would submit that one would never use classic or my_template unless they planned on making absolutely no changes to the template.

If plans are to change the template, one should first create the basic files for an override and then edit those files in the override directory (custom, corp_template,etc.) to get the desired look. That way, an upgrade or partial upgrade would not overwrite your changes.

There's a lot of good information about this in the tutorials and wiki. Don't try to get the information piece by piece. Building a solid foundation is imperative in Zen-Cart.

Yes, even if you are only going to put your name and logo on the classic template, you should make your own custom template folder.

This is a separate issue from your problem, but it would be helpful to you right now if you had your own template and left the /classic/ folder untouched - then you would have a clean copy of the classic stylesheet to refer to.

but i don't know how to make own template
i m still in the boat of learnin zen cart but now for the 2nd time i made errorssss

plz suggest me from where i can learn to make my own template

yes i do duplicate the files 1st and then edit them via text editor, when i did to stylesheet.css the whole thing changed and when i try to undo it by applyin the same file but it did not happen may be its coz of .css.

everythin was goin smooth but coz of header and that logo it gave me a shot.

gjh42, thxs man u were absolutely rt

i copied wrongly the stylesheet.css

its so much in zen sheet

now i want to put 2 pics as header file near logo, but i was always unsucessful in that any advice?

As dbltoe said, there is good information here on making your own template. Look in the FAQ/tutorials (link at top of this page), and in the Second step in setting up your cart - templates thread at the top of this subforum.

To help find out what you did with the stylesheet, please post the first ten lines (only) of your /includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css. Make sure it is not from /template_default/css/.
---Ok, it was as I suspected.
What you will probably need to do (unles you have a copy of the right stylesheet somewhere) is take a copy of /includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css from a fresh download of the Zen Cart files and put it in your site folder.

For your two pics, you will have to explain in more detail before I can advise you, as there are many possible ways to do that.
A picture of some kind of what you have and what you want would be good.

if u have seen my site, i want ppl to c the image of same ht as of logo but extended till the end plus if u can advice me lookin at the site wht all i can put in so the site looks stunnin or impressive

And also tell ll it look sober if i put somethin at the backgrd of the template.

i think green colour will go gud as the site is of vegetables and fruit wht say?

and thxs so much for respondin throu n helpin me out

First, you have a logo that is 141px high, but your #logoWrapper is only 75px high. The logo forces the space open, but it may cause you problems somewhere unless you change #logoWrapper in your stylesheet to equal the logo height, or just delete the "height: 75px;" line.

Your logo is almost symmetrical, but not quite, and I think it would look good near the edge where you have it now. Find #logo in your stylesheet (separate it out on its own line if necessary), and give it margin-left: 20px; See how it looks and adjust the number.

If you have any graphics program, I think it would look good to cut out a copy of the fruit on top of your logo and put those off to the right, maybe making them 25% bigger than the logo fruit for balance. Name the file fruit2.gif and save it in /your_template/images/. Find #logoWrapper and add to it:

background-image: url(../images/fruit2.gif);
background-position: 650px 75px;/adjust to taste/

Try this and see how it looks.

this is the image i want to put

i m tryin to do

i have not made my own template, i m checkin on default only
as u told me i m doin it for background

#logoWrapper{
background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-position: 650px 75px;/adjust to taste/
}

but not workin it shows same only

mmm looks tasty! :)
If you use that image for a repeating background, it will show up the rectangular white background of your logo. Is that ok with you?For a large image like that, I would suggest no-repeat; and background-position: center right;

#logoWrapper{
background-image: url(../images/headerbgph4.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-position: center right;
}

The background image is so strong that if it repeats across the header, I think it will drown out your logo.

changed as u said i m not gettin it
the path i m usin after editin is----- includes/templates/classic/css

and now i have made folder mytemplate where other templates r situated default and classic

#logoWrapper{
background-image: url(..mytemp/images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-position: center right;
}

still not showin
i have applied on classic also, not showin

background-image: url(..mytemp/images/header_bg.jpg);

First, you do not need the "mytemp"; it needs to be simply ../images/header_bg.jpg, and the image needs to be saved in your template /images/ folder. It will only be available to the template where it is saved. If you want to use it in other templates, you will need to save it there too.

You show above that your file is named headerbgph4.jpg. Is this true? If so, you need to use that name.

the image name is header_bg.jpg 546 x 152
i have tried both ways

#logoWrapper{
background-image: url(..mytemp/images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-position: center right;
}

and

#logoWrapper{
background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-position: center right;
}

i think i should drop the idea.....u r also tired

thxs so much for helpin me out.....:(

but somethin is surely wrong
no pic is cmin up
