gamma site test - template problem?

[James Gladwin]

Hi - have knocked up a basic site for a client on a test server.

The brochure index page has the all colour background:

but the shop is missing it somewhere

http://www.specialgardengifts.com/acatalog/index.html

- I suspect a template change is overwriting the Design | Colours choice, but which one?

Insight welcomed! Thanks - James

Set the 'Palette Background' (bottom-right of 'Design | Colours') to the darker brown and it will do the main part of the page.

Chris Hi - I've dopen that - believe me - several times!!! No change. I'll look to see if the pallette has been altered...

Best - James

Have you changed the background colour as well? (top left of 'Design | Colours').

One of them ought to do it.

Hi, Chris - here's the strange thing - the Colours | Background change wor4ks in Brochure, but the shop remains a stubbon neutral colour......

Any further thoughts???

I would edit the Act_Primary.html overall layout template and find the '<td>' tag that contains NETQUOTEVAR:BULK.

To find this overall layout template, go to 'Design | Options | Layouts' and click 'Edit' next to the 'Default Overall Layout' field.

In my overall layout template for Clean Layout 6, I found this chunk of code...

</td>
          <td valign="top">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="CUSTOMVAR:ACTSTDWIDTH" ALIGN="CENTER">
<TR>
	<TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" ALIGN="LEFT" >
	NETQUOTEVAR:FORMBEGIN

. Add in a background="whatever.gif" tag that points to an image file that is the right colour. Make sure this background image file is in your 'Site1' (or equivalent) directory.

Thanks a lot, Chris - I'll let you know. Best - James

Chris, Hi. You're right - but there are still some background bits missing

I can't make out which template they would be linked to? Can you help?

I am grateful - Best - James

Look for these lines in your Act_Primary.html template

          <td valign="top">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="600" ALIGN="CENTER">
<TR>
	<TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" ALIGN="LEFT" background="palette1bg.gif" >

Change them to read:

          <td valign="top" background="palette1bg.gif">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="600" ALIGN="CENTER">
<TR>
	<TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" ALIGN="LEFT">

That should do it.

Dear Chris - can I formally nominate you as the Greatest Living Actinic Know All.

Of course - it worked perfectly. Thanks a bunch - James
