Topie: Background Question?
November 17th, 2006 05:18 PM
KayLeighsMomma I added a new background and it seems to show up when you first log in and then when you go from into different areas on the board it show the background the way it should be and then on other areas of the board is just show the solid white background, is there a way to fix this?

SivoxII I've heard something similar before KLM!

I'm not sure on your issue, but one possibilty could be 1 background permission overruling another??? .. as I've seen this when helping someone else's board, where they had the fixed background script (which should ideally be just that, not including an image ref) .. then they had the default background image on top of that, with the style background set to #FFFFFF. So, I'm not saying this is your problem, but it "may" be something along those lines.

Really hope that helps to some degree?

KayLeighsMomma How about this does anyone know the script to add a backgound image?

SivoxII This code adds a 'fixed' background to your forum. Stick it in your "Feature Settings" header.

code:

<style>
<!--
BODY { background-attachment: fixed; }
-->



At least I think this is what you are asking? ... people confuse this with a very similar code which also adds an independent background, which conflicts with your assigned background through the CP.

SivoxII This is the common alternative people go for which overrides the initial set background in the CP:

code:

<body background="yourimage.gif" bgproperties="fixed">



...or a similar structure to the style code above, with an image reference included.

To be absolutely sure on what's happening with your background, go into your CP .. Layout > Edit Style ... and look for Page Properties (2nd option down on the right) ... remove the # color ref & the background URL, then add the style code above into your Feature Settings (with an image included)

This should do the trick!

KayLeighsMomma Thanks!!!

KayLeighsMomma And that codes needs to be added where at?

SivoxII Feature Settings > Header

code:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
BODY {background-image: url(background.gif);
background-attachment: fixed;}

</STYLE>



The above is the best way to show you the most ideal way of setting up your fixed background (in my opinion)

Tactician yes you should always edit you templates in a notepad and then paste it into the template

click preview not save just to be sure nothing gets screwy

SivoxII As far as working with code goes, I highly recommend 1st Page 2006 ... save all those disasters by viewing your pages first.
