Changing static pages

peter c · #1 12-26-2006, 08:16 AM

is it possible to have static pages load into say the welcome.tpl instead of the dialog.tpl. Or is there another way to present a page that will display 100% of the browser width. Thanks.

The static page width should default to the width set for your site.

it does in FF2.0 but not in IE7. I did test and just put this code in:

Quote:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

And it still only displayed at approx 75%. I also notice this at login. at the home.php in both FF & IE7 it is 100%. when you login is seems to narrow both sides of the page so it shows smaller and not 100%.

Are we talking embedded static pages or not?

yes. embedded not root.

Remember you can't have html, head, title or body tags in an embedded static page, as those are pulled from customer/home.tpl. The embedded page should just have the html code itself.

thanks balinor. what i cannot understand though, is how you are supposed to get a uniform site. do you have to design html pages for each link/section and call them via hyperlink?

Not sure I follow...if you use an embedded static page it simply fits into the site structure, which the header, side menus and footer wrapping around the content of the static page. You shouldn't have different widthis or looks at all, it should look the same as your category, product and home pages.
