[Forum] Background Image

[TXGunTalk]

I've tried to convert the color into an image to no avail. I'm pretty sure I am not doing something correctly.

Can someone give me a quick syntax for using an image in the background: http://www.mydomain.com/forums/images/image.jpg

I am placing it in the "Image" portion of doc_background and it does not work. The file path is presumably my issue.

Same problem, background just appears white when applied, I'm using /images/customfolder/image.png

[Grimster]

Fixed - quick search here resulted in this syntax:

url(images/customfolder/image.png)

Cool, thanks. I had used that syntax before, but wasn't sure if it was still Kosher in the new version. I also had forgotten it.

Does this mean there is supposed to be an actual folder called "customfolder" in the images folder?

I have no idea, but mine is not setup that way. It might just be how he has his server side files organized.

SO TX, did you get your background to work with and image?


I remember making a post like this but kinda lost track of it..let me look for that too.

[Grimster]

I was literally saying that was the input, the customfolder thing is just part of the path to the image - replace with your path - thus:



The "url" bit should stay where it is along with the brackets, just change your path to the image.

[fayax]

Ah thanks Grimster! appreciate all the help.

Not working for me. Still white.

Incidentally, I had a problem where vB was stripping out the background-image code.

Eventually I realized it was because I included ' characters inside the brackets.

Ahhh! Got it. Why doesn't VB tell you what syntax to use???? I was just adding the absolute URL and then I tried the relative. Who knew you had to use the actual CSS format! UGH!
