I haven't specified anything Paul. I simply replaced the stock image with my own, and in it's original location. It worked before I converted to Url Writing. I assumed it would continue to call for it from the "templates" directory.
I understand what I need to do now, yes, thanks much...done it and of course it worked.
But what I don't understand is why the tool bar (search - options - log out) held it's image on all pages, and both images originate from the same directory.
Between you folks and Paul, this support forum clearly stands out from all others. Thanks for putting up with the PHP newbie
That makes perfect sense. When I went back and looked at the path for the toolbar image it had changed itself. I said to my self "how'd you do that Paul"
One minor bug though, it had called the "images" directory, a "inages" directory. No biggy, THAT one I could handle.
Thanks again Paul Much appreciated. Jim

After setting up apache mod_rewrite URL rewriting, my background.png image seems to be showing on every page except "display links".
Error on my part I'm sure
Does this sound familiar to anyone who could maybe tell me where I went wrong or what I forgot?
Thanks folks

I presume you've specified the image as a relative location, relative to http://www.finsandfur.net/ . When you're viewing http://www.finsandfur.net/Fishing/Outfitters , the image isn't located in a subdirectory of that url. You need to make it an absolute url.

I'm not completely sure I understand.

You need to make the link to the PNG absolute. For example, either in the CSS file or the wrapper.tpl, or main.tpl the link to the background should be http://www.finsandfur.net/background.png or www.finsandfur.net/template...tes/default/background.png not just background.tpl.
Understand now?

The part of the script that automatically translates it into an absolute url wasn't detecting that spot, due to lack of quotes around it it seems.
