change the background in MSocial

hi, just wonder whats the quick and easy way to change background to something like ..

now to Halloween theme ..later to Christmas ... ...easter ..

i have the image i want to display as site background ... just dont know how ..

thanks

Could You please post an url to your site?

Its regatulunit.com

Sadly there is no "one click" solution, but the solution is quite easy.

Please edit: /templates/gk_msocial/css/override.css and add at its end:

Code: Select all

body #gkBg {background: transparent url('../images/bg1.jpg') no-repeat center 0;}


Remember to enable "CSS override" in template settings - advanced section.

Now, place file bg1.jpg through ftp to:
/templates/gk_msocial/images/
folder.

The image will be centered so it needs to be wide enough. Here is a simple image from one f our templates:

body #gkBg {background: transparent url('../images/bg1.jpg') no-repeat center 0;}

doesnt work ... i did enable override in template ..
added the above code to override.css
uploaded the file to /templates/gk_msocial/images

changed bg1.jpg with my image file ...

refresh page ... nothing ..

thanks

I don't see the code in override.css anymore.
Also trying to access:
http://regatulunit.com/templates/gk_mso ... es/bg1.jpg
shows no file.
You need to put image into:
templates/gk_msocial/images/
via ftp, not with Joomla uploading image service.

I don't see the code in override.css anymore.

because its no longer there

Also trying to access:
http://regatulunit.com/templates/gk_mso ... es/bg1.jpg
shows no file.

i named the file something else

templates/gk_msocial/images/
via ftp, not with Joomla uploading image service.

thats exactly what i did

are you sure there is not something wrong with the code ?
thanks

Please check the override.css and add the code again, or just check if you haven't uploaded the file into wrong place.
