Hi Ron,

I managed to adjust the colour of my brochure pages by hard coding the bgcolor within my brochure overall layout (usually Act_BrochurePrimary.html).

For Example:

Go to Design | Options | Brochure | and click "Edit" by the "Overall Layout". This will open your template in Notepad.

Look for:

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="thinborder">

just below the <body.. tag and change it to read:

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="thinborder" bgcolor="black">

Obviously change "black" to the desired color or hexadecimal value.

Hope this helps

Hi Toby,

Have you seen my website? Its like i want all the fragments
[Home ] [ About Us ] [ Size Info ] [ Press ] ..Etc. i was finding where have they written the codes of the "colour of the Bg (green)"? Look at my brochure.html..it doesnt write any of these?

One more thing, does anyone know how to add image into fragment description? the img src? Should it "index.jpg" or "http://"file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Ah%20Huh/My%20Documents/My%20Received%20Files/www.hst.com.sg"
If i were to put the latter one,there's no image appear when preview? as compared to the latter,the former url works.

please help

Hi Ron,

If I view the source of your fragments I can see the two pale green colours being referenced for your table backgrounds, e.g:

<td width="100%" bgcolor="#d5e2e7">

Have you customised your fragment layout templates? If you click on a fragment then click the Edit button next to Layout can you see any instances of that hexadecimal colour in the template? I also presume you have checked Design | Colors.

If I were to put the latter one, there’s no image appear when preview? as compared to the latter, the former url works.

If you used the URL http://"file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Ah%20Huh/My%20Documents/My%20Received%20Files/www.hst.com.sg" only you will be able to see the image when the site is previewed or uploaded. This is because the URL is pointing to your hard drive which customers do not have access to when browsing the net.

Just use index.jpg because that will be relative to the acatalog folder which customers do have access to. If you want the picture to display in preview, copy it to the PreviewHTML folder inside Site1.

You can embed the image within your fragment text by using this code:

!!<<img src=”x-boots.gif”>>!!

You can embed the image within your fragment text by using this code:

!!<<img src=”x-boots.gif”>>!!

I have created a table within a fragment on a brochure page, and have been attempting to populate it with images, using the coding above. I have had no success, and I am certain I am doing it correctly. Even an empty test fragment with your coding above does not work for me (and yes, the boots are still resident in the site 1 folder).

Why wont it work for me???

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards
Karen

I worked around the problem detailed above by including a reference to the image in the primary template. Hope this might help others in a similar situation.

Kind regards
