Strider Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Tell me what I am doing wrong? Cheers Dan C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerB Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 All you need to do is copy all the footer code from your original html template and paste it in the footer.tpl in your skin folder. I explained this in the tuts. A skin is divided in to 3 main parts and they are all separate files. header.tpl, frontpage_main.tpl, and footer.tpl. Those 3 files make up your entire home page together. Once you get your frontpage_main.tpl looking good, model all the other template files like that and save to your skin folder. On your other pages, your using the header again, thats wrong. You only use the header and links one time. when making other pages do not use the header or footer, just the page content. Your refusal to watch and understand the video tuts is not helping you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I am not refusing to watch the tutorials, cos i have watched them several times, and i followed them, and it didn't work, and i followed them to the word.

Strider Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I am still having trouble, I have watched Nabeels tutorial, have downloaded the skin, and basically copied the exact way they were done, and the background is not showing up. I need a bit more closer help then just watching a video on a site. http://globalaircargovirtual.org/test there is the site, just for your information and you can see the problem.

Administrators Nabeel Posted February 26, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Seems like the path to your stylesheet (http://globalaircargovirtual.org/test/lib/skins/example/solvista.css) is incorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Ok i fixed the css error, now it shows the background but is all wonky, the main part doesn't show, http://globalaircargovirtual.org/test/ Cheers Dan C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted February 26, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Well then in the CSS you need to change the paths to the images (went over that in the tutorial), and then adjust the templates to match the type in the template you downloaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I did that already this is what happened. Cheers Dan C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted February 27, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Ok, well, next, look at the original template, how the navigation was done, and copy that into the core_navigation as described in the tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Ok the site is basically complete, only problem is the side bar, it is showing up on all pages, and i dont want that to happen.
