Hi All
I've just had a go at placing my own header and footer in to PT which works fine on all the main pages e.g. merchant, brand etc., but they do not show on my products pages.
Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.

Hi David
Your speedy response to this forum is outstanding I only wish others were even close. The cost of the PT is reduced to pennies when one receives this type of response.
The URL for the site I'm working on is www.wedding-files.com
Cheers

Hi Delboy,
It is to do with the relative path's to your background images. In your header HTML you have this:
background="../images/bgd01.jpg"
But when you are using search engine friendly URLs, you are sending the browser into what it thinks are sub-directories on the web server, so your URLs have to look like this instead:
background="/images/bgd01.jpg"
If you remove the "../" and make sure that all your image URLs start with "/" it should work fine then.
Cheers,
David.
Hi,
If you are using search engine friendly URLs, have you made sure that your header and footer code uses absolute URLs, for example, in IMG tags, you would need src="/images/header.gif" instead of src="images/header.gif", as in the latter case the browser would look for the images directory in the virtual "products" directory, which won't work!
If you're not sure what's going on free free to email me a link to your site and i'll take a look for you...
Cheers,
David.
