Hi, A friend of mine has modified a Prestashop theme I bought, but didn't put a background image on it, which I wanted. I tried to do this myself, but unfortunately the header is an image, which has now been hidden behind my full screen background image. Part of the header image is covered by the background on a large screen, but the whole header is gone on a smaller laptop screen. Does anybody know how I can set the stack order to push the background to the very bottom? I've tried CSS z-index, but this made no difference (I may have got the syntax wrong). My Test Site Attached is my global.css file, if anybody would be so kind to give me some pointers. Cheers Andy global.css

Sorted it ! Thanks to your pointer, J05hr, and a little blind luck, I've managed to figure out what it needed. There was an empty wrapper div just before the header, to which I added min-width:1080px and all is ok. Thanks !

Ah, yes. I didn't even realise that if I resized my Chrome browser window and made it narrower than the main image, I get the same problem. I was originally going to have the theme designed as a flat image file, then cut it up myself and try to make the actual WP theme file. The guy who did this for me is a graphic designer, not a developer, but offered to make it into a WP theme at no extra cost. I assume he was trying to learn and I think it was only his 2nd one, so its not really like I can go back and ask for it to be corrected. I'm no designer/developer either - I only know what I've taught myself from playing around with osCommerce a couple of years ago. I've tried amending the header CSS info you pointed to, but nothing I do to it helps unfortunately. I assume that I need to find a way to set a minimum width of 1024px for the background, so that it repeats off the side of the viewable page if on a lower res if necessary. I'm not fussed about making it scale to anything below 1024px. Does anybody know where I might need to look to do this? Cheers Andy

Hi everyone ! I've had a Wordpress theme designed for my business website - http://www.renaissancestyle.co.uk - which works fine in every browser I've tried, except for Safari on iPhone's and iPad's (see attached screenshots). As you can see, there's a white stripe down the right hand side of the page, like the background images have failed to repeat themselves. This is causing me a problem as visitors are unable to see our phone number or email address at the top of the page. Would anybody please be able to help me figure out what is wrong with this? Cheers Andy

Thanks LoveLock ! I reckon the social networky things would help to push it with the younger staff members. Not sure about the older ones who don't use the internet though. What do you think?

Hi all ! I work for a company who have tasked me with developing a simple website that will be used by some of our employees for requesting holiday and shift swaps. The way it'll work is: User logs into site using their unique username/password. Presented with 2 or 3 basic forms for different request types. Form is filled in and submitted. Manager at the other end approves/declines this, which runs a simple query to add request into existing employee database. Email is sent back to employee with decision. I'm having a difficult time selling the use of this system to the managers who are meant to use it, so was told to come up with an innovative idea to win them over. As this is just automating a simple task they already do manually, its been suggested that I do something 'clever' which they can't currently do to give them more of a reason to use it. So far, I've come up with: Provide scheduled email reports to line managers with granular request statistics. Do a mobile version for iPhone and Android users so requests can be created/approved on the go. Sends email alerts to colleagues with details of a person who wants to swap their shift. I realise that this is just tarting up a pretty basic system, so was wondering whether any of you bright sparks might be able to shine some creative light on my dull project and help me come up with an innovative idea that will a) make this a system people want to use and make it a bit more enjoyable for me to develop. Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas - no matter how dull, strange or outlandish - would be very much welcome ! Cheers Andy
