background image has dissappeared , help

[acrylictribesmen]

Hi all, i have recently installed my oscommerce 2.2max site. i am currently setting it up and would like a little help please. I am trying to add a background image to the header. I got it to work after a long time as i realised it had to be added to the css, stylesheet.php file. I added background="oscommerce1.gif" which is the name of my header pic to the appropriate area.

It worked great for a while but then i was trying to install security login to admin section and replaced the neccessary files and updated sql database with phpmyadmin as requested in the instructions. I only now read that the login comes automatcally with ms2 max? did i just have to activate it ? if so where?

Anyway the login did not work, so i deleted its files to try again later. i also replaced the header.php and application_top.php to their original files.

All of a sudden no background image on my main page!!

The entry which i originally made to stylesheet.php is still there, so i do not understand. There is no background colour set in header.php by the looks of things.

As you can tell i am a very confused beginner and would greatly appreciate your ideas. hereh is the address so you can check it out http://www.digimarksystems.com.au/catalog/index.php

Thanks

Actually the Table that holds the include statement for pulling header.php into the site is at /templates/main_page.tpl.php

in the original file lines 25-29 are the table element for the header image. they look like this:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr class="header">
<td width="750"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'OSCMAX_top.jpg', 'osCommerce taken to the max!') . '</a>'; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>


Just give the table a background image with a background= tag and your all set.

Thank you very much for your response.

I think i have made a mistake somewhere though.
I deleted the install folder as i thought it was not neccessary and i can not find the /templates folder anywhere or the file you mentioned. Maybe i have set it up wrong somehow or have i misunderstood.

Thanks again

Have you installed OSC-MAX or OSC MS2.2 ???

[acrylictribesmen]

thats a very good question. I think looking at the origonal file that it must be ms2.2., which means i'm in the wrong forum anyway. I wanted ms max origonally so must have downloaded the wrong file. Can i install over the top and keep my product listings?

This means i dont have the template folder. I migh just install ms max and start again.

Thankyou
