[SOLVED] Problems changing background colours in global.css

[marronne]

Hi. Have changed global.css at line 15 to try get my background colour to "cornsilk" #ff8dc but nothing is changing. I cannot see why it doesn't work, there are no error messages.

 

Web site is www.selleriestpierre.com.

 

Thanks for any help

are you sure that you change it? there is no background param in line 15 (for body)

Its because your missing a character from your Hex Colour. It needs to be six characters long.

Hi Thanks for the replies. You're right I missed out an "f" but the background colour still hasn't changed! Here's an extract from my global.css file:

 

 

}

body {

background-color:#fff8dc;

font-size: 11px;

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;

color: #5d717e;

text-align: center

}

Well this is obviously something that is missing. What should it look like?

[vekia]

are you sure that you edit correct global.css file? It must be file located in your theme directory.

I suggest refreshing your browser or clearing its cache.

I am able to see the changes you have made.

that's correct! now I see changes!

Thanks Wynn and Vekia. I did clear the cache and refresh the browser (chrome).

 

I have now viewed in another browser and I see the changes too. Hooray - I'm not going mad !

 

Just need to change the blocks and stuff. Thanks again.

Hello Marronne,

 

Can you please help me to change the pink colour when I send mail and when someone is logged in with his account, you will see a pink colour where the information could be found of the orders, personal information etc. Somebody told me before about global.css, but where can I find that? I'n not so good with things like this so it will be fine when you talk with me like it's the first time I went on the internet. I hope you can help me further! With kind regards,

Hello TTW

 

To change the email templates that are sent to customers you need to go to:

 

Tools tab; Translations tab then select "email template translations" from the drop down menu and click on the flag for the language you want to change.

 

You'll then have a list of email templates and he ones that go to customer who have ordered or have registered an account on your site etc are in "Core emails", expand this section. You can then find the email templates you want to change and click on the button "edit this template" which appears underneath each template. Voilà !

 

For info the global.css is located in your themes directory. In the CSS folder in theme folder you use (mine is "Prestashop" as I;m using the basic PS theme)

 

Hope this helps.

Hello, Thank you for helping me! I could find the e-mail problem, so thank you for that! But Where can I find the themes directory? Is that also somewhere in the backoffice? Or do I have to do something in the database of Prestashop? With kind regards,

[marronne]

You need to go where your web site folders are stored on the server. I use FTP client "Filezilla" to access mine.

 

You'll find global.css in httpdocs/themes/"the name of the theme you use"/css
