Background & Shipping Cart

thedancingdaisy · #1 () 10-02-2007, 02:43 PM

I am new to 3dCart and I am dilligently trying to figure out the web design aspect. I can't for the life of me figure out how to add a background image, or to get rid of the shopping cart on the free templates. I want to have my customers click on a link that takes them to view their cart. I don't want that shopping cart feature to show up in the right or left navigation bars. I can't figure out how to get rid of it though with out messing up the actual view cart page.

1. How do I add a background image to the free templates? (I know how to do a color, but not a image).

2. How do I get rid of the mini cart feature?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Start with whatever template you are using and access it via ftp:
web >> assets >> templates >> layout# >> frame.html
web >> assets >> templates >> layout# >> css >> layout#_colors.css

These are the files you'll need to edit.

1.) You can change the background image of your website in the CSS file.

Code:

body{
background-image: url(image location);
}

2.) You can disable the mini-cart by commenting it out in the HTML file.

Code:

<!-- anything between brackets like this is commented out -->
If you try to 
<!-- 
comment out a whole section, be aware that the comment will end 
<!-- at the first "end comment" backet ---> 
and will leave the rest of the text exposed regardless 
of there being another end bracket later 
-->

Do a search on "HTML comments" and "CSS background-image" to learn more.

Thanks for your help. I got the background image working.

I can't see how commenting out the mini cart will work bases on what you said about the brackets.
