Template revision??? - 6/24/2007 19:25:25   
Hello! I am creating a website for a client and would like to use this template: http://www.classythemes.com/developers/seeinaction.asp?item=9946. However, I want to remove the camera graphic and replace it with a third picture frame like the ones on the right of the graphic. I really do not know how to make changes like this, but I wonder if it is as simple as deleting the graphic and replacing it with a copy/paste of one of the picture frames on the right. Can someone look at it and see if it can be done. Everything else on the site will work out great for me, except the client doesn't like the camera graphic. Please advise. Thanks!

It would be quite unusual if the camera graphic could not be replaced by a purchaser. In order to introduce compatibility, your replacement graphic would have to be approximately the same size and the background color (eye dropper check = hexidecimal # + flood in PSP or Adobe) exactly the same.

Before dropping $70.00, however, I suggest you email the ClassyTheme developer indicating your reservation.

I'd imagine it's just a background image which you could replace with any other background image.

It says it's a CSS file so you'll be able to change pretty much everything (layout, background images and all aspects of the presentation) via the stylesheet.

I'd be careful about using FP in design view with a good CSS layout (I'm assuming it's a good one) as it may well muck up the template. Ensure that you use only code view.

It's a jpg image located in images/MainImage.jpg

The image is 950px wide and 215px high

You will need to use an image of identical size unless you understand how to change the css layout. If you keep the name the same then you won't need to change anything but if you use a different name then you'll need to go into the css file and change the image name in the following bit of code:

.middlecontent {

	text-align: center;

	background-image: url(images/MainImage.jpg);

	background-repeat: no-repeat;

	width: 950px;

	height: 215px;

	border: 1px solid #3E3E3E;

}


As Tailslide says, the template is valid and accessible and built with css for both styles and layout. If you don't understand css and can't work in code view; if you start using FP and pressing buttons you will lose all of that and you MUST remove the three badges for valid XHTML, valid css and WAI AA or you will be making false claims.

www.w3schools.com will teach you XHTML and CSS

Thank you all for your input. I am not receiving a response from the web designer. I emailed them last week. I am wondering if any of you experts would be willing to make the change for me if I sent you the template after purchase. I do not have the knowledge to change the style sheet. I would be happy to compensate you for your time. Please advise. Thanks!
