store background
I would like to give the store the same background as most pages on my site. I uploaded that image as a .gif file to all folders in the images folder. I then went to "Global settings", "Manage HTML settings" and changed "Use background image" to "YES" and entered the image name into "Background Image Name". I get no change. I don't suppose it could just be that simple, huh?

Re: store background
Yes, it actually is that simple, unless:
(1) Your case is wrong in your image name.
(2) Your image is not in ./media/images/site.
(3) Your Site HTML Layout was modified so that the tag:
(CGIGET TYPE="SUB" VALUE="ste_exec_bodytag")
Is not present any more. If this is the case, modify the <BODY> tag you entered to include a BACKGROUND attribute with your image referenced.

Re: store background
Didn't take long for you to get over my head!
(1) the case is right.
(2) image is in ./media/images/site.
(3) ??? Your Site HTML Layout was modified so that the tag:
(CGIGET TYPE="SUB" VALUE="ste_exec_bodytag")
Is not present any more. If this is the case, modify the <BODY> tag you entered to include a BACKGROUND attribute with your image referenced
Element Name: Site HTML Body Tag - Background Image
Has this:
<BODY BGCOLOR="(CGIVAR)html_site_bground_color(/CGIVAR)" BACKGROUND="(CGIVAR)images_path(/CGIVAR)/site/(CGIVAR)html_site_bground_image(/CGIVAR)" MARGINHEIGHT="(CGIVAR)html_margin_height(/CGIVAR)" MARGINWIDTH="(CGIVAR)html_margin_width(/CGIVAR)" TOPMARGIN="(CGIVAR)html_top_margin(/CGIVAR)" BOTTOMMARGIN="(CGIVAR)html_bottom_margin(/CGIVAR)" RIGHTMARGIN="(CGIVAR)html_right_margin(/CGIVAR)" LEFTMARGIN="(CGIVAR)html_left_margin(/CGIVAR)" ALINK="(CGIVAR)html_active_link_color(/CGIVAR)" VLINK="(CGIVAR)html_visited_link_color(/CGIVAR)" LINK="(CGIVAR)html_link_color(/CGIVAR)">
Can you tell me how it should look to contain the above script that you referanced? My background image is named "back.gif"
I'm only dumb in spots and scripting is one of them!
Thanks,
Mitch

Re: store background
Your in the wrong place. You need to look in:
HTML Pages & Element -> Manage Site Elements -> Site HTML Layout
Your looking for:
<!-- ############################################# -->
<!-- # Body Tag Insertion # -->
<!-- ############################################# -->
(CGIGET TYPE="SUB" VALUE="ste_exec_bodytag")
If
1.
The CGIGET tag exists as written above
2.
AND your image name matches the name of the image file you uploaded (CaSe SeNsItIvE)with the EXTENSION(ie. .gif or .jpeg or .bmp)
3.
AND Your image was uploaded to the proper folder: ./media/images/site
4.
AND you edited Golbal Settings -> Manage HTML Settings so that 'Use Background Image' is set to "YES"
5.
AND you entered the EXACT same name of the image you uploaded into the 'Background Image Name', again EXACT means CaSe SeNsItIvE and you included the proper file extension.
THEN everything should work as expected. Check these items carefully!

Re: store background
Well, I`m glad it all worked out for you, but I`m still having problems ...
I`ve followed all the instructions in the previous posts:
My background image (a `GIF`) has been uploaded to the `site` part of the images file;
I`ve checked and re-checked the image path, and it matches the image`s name;
The CGIGET script is present;
The `use background image` box has `YES` in it.
I wondered if my image was too large (in pixels) and so I tried a shrunken version of 640 x 480, but that didn`t work. I also tried using a product image that works elsewhere on the site, but no luck! Changing the colour of the background works, but not displaying my image ...
What have I done/not done? Help, please!
