How do you have an image as a background instead of a plain colour ?

Ive tried the styles admin and input the background image but no change ?

Open /templates/your_template/your_template.css
and search for something like this (different in some templates)

Kod:

#forum {     width: ???px;     height: 100%;     background-color: #??????;     margin: 0 auto}

and change to:

Kod:

#forum {     width: ???px;     height: 100%;     background: url(images/your_image.gif);     margin: 0 auto}

In this example you would have http://yourdomain.com/images/your_image.gif as your background.

[riverkqj]

No im affraid ive done that and its just a black background

[JA$ON]

weired... it worked with my forum when i tried it.. cant remember if id di something different because i changed it back to default a while ago..

but i can tell you how to set an image as the background of the portal, maybe it also works for the forum.
just opene the portal_body.tpl and to the first table in the first line:

Kod:

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center">

add:

Kod:

background="myimage.gif"

so that it becomes:

Kod:

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" background="myimage.gif">

that works. maybe you can then do the same for index_main.tpl or whatever .tpl file it is for the forum.

[riverkqj]

does it matter what file format the picture is ?

Ive tried .Gif .png and .jpg

all done the same, it just stays black

[JA$ON]

it should work with .gif .png .bmp .jpg .jpeg and probably some other image formats..
maybe your images are in the wrong directory or maybe the CHMOD (Attributes/Public Rights) is set to 000. try to set it to 755.

[riverkqj]

Nope all rights are set correct and i have the image in the image directory of the template folder.

Could you try this image file on yours please ?

what path did you set?
what file did you edit?
if you editet the /templates/your_template/your_template.css file the path then must be images/bg11.gif
but if you edited the portal_body.tpl the path must be /templates/your_template/images/bg11.gif

[riverkqj]

Yep ive edited the subsilver.css file

and done

Cytat:

if you editet the /templates/your_template/your_template.css file the path then must be images/bg11.gif

Correctly did it work for you ?

[JA$ON]

its still black?
havent tried it yet im trying it now wait a minute

[riverkqj]

Yeah its still black cant understand it

[JA$ON]

yes it worked for me.
in my NB2.css i changed it to:

Kod:

#forum {     width: 820px;     height: 100%;     background: url(images/bg-pattern.gif);     margin: 0 auto}

my file is located at /templates/NB2/images/bg-pattern.gif

it also worked with your image:

Kod:

#forum {     width: 820px;     height: 100%;     background: url(http://www.przemo.org/phpBB2/forum/files/bg11_613.gif);     margin: 0 auto}

maybe you need to clear your cache. i had to clear it first before i could see the change.
or maybe your image wasn uploaded correctly and is corupt?

[riverkqj]

Yeah i think my upload was corrupt from the przemo server

http://www.przemo.org/php...es/bg11_613.gif

It works ok but it repeats the image many times , do you know how i can stretch the image all the way down the screen

The image looks like this

www.ricesrx.com/forum/

but id like it like this

www.tottenhamhotspurs.tv

[JA$ON]

first ofm all, the image only needs to have a width of 1 pixel.
just make it as tall as your site can get or use a javascript.
use google for that

[Gadatliwa Kasia]

[riverkqj]

Ah thats great jason, one more question do you know how to push the forum to the top of the screen ?

As mine is about 10 pixels down from the top of the page \?
