Hi Everyone,

I am trying add a background background picture behind each categories on the side meun bar. To be exact only on for the Main Categores section On the client/customer interface. I don't need to have rollover yet, just a plan static pictture.

I believe it is the edit should be some where under skin1\customer\categories.tpl

I thought the code should be between these lines, but I can't seem to find where it is point to the new tpl file. Is it on a CSS file?

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" {if $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}class="CategoriesCustomBox"{else}width="100 %"{/if}>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" {if $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}class="CategoriesCustomBoxFC"{else}width="150"{ /if}>
<tr>
<td valign="top">

{include file="modules/Fancy_Categories/categories.tpl"}
{assign var="fc_cellpadding" value="0"}
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Can someone please help me out? Hmm... Marthastewart web site is a good example. I don't need the interactive effect after you click it. Just a button look picture behind the meun. Sorry, I don't know PHP too well either.

What I am seeing is that Xcart will first create a "table", then create a different "row" or <TD> to fill each category it has. I was trying to see if I can insert a default picture

I have spend 2 days on this issue. still no luck. would really appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction.

Thanks in advance

Sincerely,

Derek, you have been asked before, but I'll ask again. In order to help you, we need you to follow the forum guidelines and post your X-Cart version in your signature. Each version of X-Cart is very different, and if you want an accurate answer, this information is essential. Thank you.

Hi balinor ,

thanks for reminder. I have version 4.1.6

I am hosting on a Linux system. I don't which version of Linux, as I only get the space.

If you can help me or give me some guidence would be really appreciated, thanks

Thanks Derek. What you want to do is set a class for each row. The code above isn't that code, you are looking for something like this:

<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$c.category}</a></font><br />

Change the font tag to a div tag, and then you can define a background image for the CategoriesList class using this:

background: url(images/imagename.jpg);

Make sense?
