I was wondering the same,

I'm looking at the demo template but that code seems included in the template.css

Any simple way to add an image background to the cart as on the demo website.

Hi

Maybe this post helps you [ www.hikashop.com/en/forum/4-how-to/19519...-to-cart-button.html](http://www.hikashop.com/en/forum/4-how-to/19519-add-to-cart-button.html)

For the background image of the cart let's see what Nicolas says about it.

I always use firebug extension for firefox to check what file I have to modify, I'm quite new to joomla 2.5 and still learning this template override things.

That has to be done is CSS yes. I don't see how we could had options for styling the cart module. There are just too many possibilities and it also depends on your template's CSS.

The CSS to add a background image to the cart module is quite simple: Code:

\#hikashop_cart_module { background-image: url('http://mywebsite.com/mybackground.png'); }

You can add it in the front end CSS file of HikaShop in the Display tab of the configuration.

Thank you nicolas.

But still struggling with CSS...

1 - I have inserted your code at the **bottom** of frontend_custom.css - Can i do that ? Place this code anywhere?

2 - I'm still in "learning/training" mode, so the path to my image should be from my localhost as I've inserted? (please see attach.)

Thanks in advance.

We would need to look at the page with firebug in order to understand what's wrong.

Could you put it online ?

That line

\#hikashop_cart_module {
background-image: url('[ mywebsite.com/mybackground.png](http://mywebsite.com/mybackground.png)');
}

Why it refers to the hikashop cart module? I'm trying to understand how joomla 2.5 and hikashop works here with css.

I miss joomla 1.5 in this cases, it was so easy just to take the image of a module that already had a css and replace it via ftp.

I see frontend_custom.css and adding that line you just say that the background for that css is "mybackground.png" but that css is only for the cart module?

Don't get it soz :dry:

@manuxx:
hikashop_cart_module is the id of the div that HikaShop adds around the cart module content. So yes, that CSS is only for the cart module. That's what our friend Rigter wants.

@Rigter:
No worry. Let us know when you put it online so that we can look at that.
