I'm sure this is posted somewhere on the forum, but I'm unable to locate it after 2 days of looking.

I had my server crash and lost everything (dummy me - no current backup). Since I needed to start from scratch I decided to go with the current version. I was using a very old version and my notes don't seem to help on this one.

Anyway, I trying to remove the Gray line thats at the bottom of the head.tpl and I'm unable to figure out what I need to comment out. I got the border lines on the top and bottom of it removed and the search box, but I can't find out where to remove the thicker line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Without seeing the code for your head.tpl file, I can't say for sure, but from the code I can see, I think in your head file you have an extra table in there that doesn't seem to be doing much.

Have a look for something like this:

<TABLE cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" height="18">
<TR>
	<TD>[img]/shop/skin1/images/spacer.gif[/img]</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
	</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

The height of 18 seems to be about the height of your grey bar, try commenting out this table, or the row in it. (If it was me, I would alter the 18 first to see if it makes a difference, then you would know it was the right bit).

If this doesn't help, put your head code in a reply.

I tested removing what looked like the extra table and that didn't work. I also tried modifying all of the fields that had height 18 in them and still nothing. Below is a copy of my head.tpl.

I think this is causing the grey to appear.. Just a thought

That was the spot. Worked great.


Thanks

No problem.

Just viewed the source and followed the logic. You might want to re-think the purple background as the top nav buttons are ghosting

Thanks again,

I'm removing the top nav bar - so that's not a problem. My biggest problem now is that the upload images for products is not working. It's driving me nuts. And from the postings, I'm not the only one. http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=20088

I was using a much older version, but my server crashed and I'm rebuilding now with the newest version, but for so reason the upload product images isn't working. Just gives me a blank popup screen. Hoping somebody on the other posting can figure it out.

Anyway, thanks again.

I had the same problem a long time ago. Ths was a result of not having proper permission to a tmp dir as the images are loaded there first before being added to your store. Had my host fix that for me

[larryb]

I checked the permissions on the tmp folder and they are 777, but the ownership is root. I wonder if that may be the problem.

Follow these steps

Get your Host provider on the phone and have them looking at the admin for you and step them through the process of adding changing a image they can tell where it is bombing out by looking at the server.

How is your host provider?
