Image as Background in World News

Good day to you gentlemen I was hoping that you could help me out.

I have been trying for a couple hours to change the background of my site into an image. I have read most threads pertaining to this but am still having issues here is what I have done.

First I uploaded a file named "background.png" in to both the /public_html/images and the /public_html/templates/gk_twn/images file. All I have seen is images/background.png so to ensure i covered my bases so on and so on

Second I entered "background:transparent url(images/background.png) repeat;" into
the body portion of the template.css located in

public_html/templates/gk_twn/css/template.css

I assume the body portion now looks like this

body {
background:transparent url(images/background.png) repeat;
}

at first I put it under the 3 prior lines in the section and had no luck, so I deleted them and this is what I have now.

I am not using the compressed template.css I just double checked.

The site is www.frederickwestiii.com (One of the advantages of reading prior posts lol)

Thanks Guys

Hi gavick team,

Me too, i try to add a background image on the TWN templates. I can see my background after add it to the template.css but we can see this background on the header, and all the others templates positions.

I only want the blue background appear on the left and on the right template but not inside the all positions. I need having a blank background inside all this positions (adv,user,top,left,right,footer.... positions).

I can give you the url of my website because it's an intranet website. Sorry.

Hey Guys, it has been a few days since I got a reply on this topic. Just tryign to Bump it!

Hi coachwest

I read your thread before but as I said before, I got to put a blue background on my template but the problem is that the blue background is visible even within the positions of the template. But I hope that it is visible on the left and right of the template but not inside. Also I did not find which file I can change the code to make the interior of the template white and have only the left and right template blue.

Hey abdenour your further along than I am, I can't geet anything up lol.

This is what I did.

background: url('../images/background.png') no-repeat

Hi

tmaximus is right. You need to add 2 dots before the "/images" directory.

But second thing is that I do not see the code You've mentioned at Your site. Please add this to the end of template.css

Code: Select all

body {
background:transparent url(../images/background.png) repeat !important;
}


Hi,

What I want to do is to add a blue background on the left and right of the TWN template.
On the template.css I have insert this code

body {
background:transparent url(../images/background.png) repeat !important;
}

The blue background appear correctly but not only on the left and right template. I have this background too inside the template on all positions. I don't want this. I don't know where I can add a code like background:#FFFFFF; for having the inside template blank.
Please see the attached file, it describes exactly what I want.

Hi

Try adding this code on template.css file:

Code: Select all

#gk_wrapper {background: #fff;padding: 0 10px 10px}


Cheers

You are the best Seichinha, that's work correctly. Just one last thing. How can I do to get my background once height without image have a great height for my background image is shaded blue. I tried to date with the repeat function and no-repeat but it does not give the desired result. Am I in this case see my background image has a great height (over 1000 pixels for example)?.

Thank you for your help
