: guessclay January 09, 2012, 11:00:56 AM
On my main menu only one of the menu items will allow the wood repeat at the same time?
Thanks

You had no images assigned to those menu items.  For example check this page now:
http://www.rodandgunjournal.com/index.php/emag

You'll see the image for that menu item is now showing.

Good Deal Thanks, I got all of the main ones to work. I did the same to the sub menu and it did not work.
Thanks, CG

Did you unpublish sub menu items?  I dont see any on your site currently

It is set up as the one on the top right. If you click on the list item it will take you to a page that is a black background. i changed the link image to the wood & its still black?

Thanks, CG

Ah ok, only the menu items on the horizontal menu can use backgrounds thats why its not working for that top menu.  What you can do is enter a full site URL for the background image in your template parameters area and this should fix the issue

I am having trouble even figuring out where to change the image for the menu item.  Could you tell me specifically what the field name is in the Menu Manager for a page?   The documentation is not up date on this!

Sorry - I forgot to mention I am using 1.7.3!

You just open up each menu item and once you do on the right hand side you'll see the parameters.  Just click the "Link Type Options"

I am able to change the background color for each of my main menu items (e.g. Western Reunion) by designating the background image as discussed above.

HOWEVER ---

When I create a submenu item (e.g. hotel) using the same image e.g.  images/background_w.png (this is a solid royal blue)  then both the submenu item page and the main menu item just return to black background.

If I "unpublish" the submenu item, then the main menu goes back to blue without doing anything else.  So somehow it seems a submenu item is overriding the color settings for everything up the line. 

I have triple checked all the settings on both and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I even made a direct copy of the main menu item article and created the submenu article from it just to make sure those settings were the same. 

I am upaded to 1.7 on this setup.

Any help here would be appreciated!

Hello,

I just updated the template a week ago, so perhaps try overwriting with a fresh download.   If you still can't get working, PM me ftp and Joomla login details and i can take a look

I tried uploading the current version of the template (16).  Got an error on the install that said:

JInstaller: :Install: File does not exist /home/nassreun/public_html/tmp/install_4f7be97dd2cf2/language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_seaofglass.ini

and then just below it

Installing template was successful.

But there is no change in the website and there is a link image on each of the main and subpages and I don't know for sure that the new upload was really successful. 

Could you please take a look and wave your magic wand over the site to get it to behave? 

Thanks!
Jill

Login to Joomla isn't working, also please PM me login details, as others can see your above login details and you don't want to give out access to everyeone. 

I did receive your PM saying backgrounds area working, so if you do still need help just let me know and PM me the login details.

Regards,
