Issues while getting TIMTAB up and running

As my first post I will describe a few things I had to deal with while setting up TIMTAB:

Problem 1: Background images not being displayed

This seemed to be caused by the path defined wrong for the background images in the default kubrick template, so this was fixed by redefining the paths in TS setup like below:

page {
CSS_inlineStyle (
    body { background: url(../{$page.file.kubrickbgcolor}); }
    #page { background: url(../{$page.file.kubrickbgwide}) repeat-y top; border: none; }
    #header { background: url(../{$page.file.kubrickheader}) no-repeat bottom center; margin: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 1px; padding: 1px; height: 198px; width: 758px; }
    #headerimg { margin: 7px 9px 0; height: 192px; width: 740px; }
    #footer { background: url(../{$page.file.kubrickfooter}) no-repeat bottom; border: none;}
    )
}

Problem 2: Comments being displayed with the wrong template

With the default configuration it seems that the HTML template defined for the comments (ve_guestbook) refers to the default ve_guestbook template instead of the kubrick comments template. By simply redefining it like below in TS setup the problem is solved:

plugin.tx_veguestbook_pi1 {
    templateFile = EXT:timtab/res/kubrick/kubrick_ve_guestbook.tmpl
}

Other than the two issues mentioned above TIMTAB seems to be working nice so far. For more information regarding TIMTAB check out the author's blog at: http://www.ingo-renner.com/index.php?id=timtab.
