Adding background images to catagories...

[Cloud Strife]

This great post by xiphoid I saw in vbulletin.com

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48020

The problem is that I would also like to add a background image when you go into a certain section, not just on the forums homepage...

Can anyone help... Im desperate for this...

Thanks, but that doesnt work...:(

In the Category Strip Background Color field, im putting this in:-

"#CCCCCC" background="images/frontpage/cat_bg_01.gif"

But it doesnt do anything... And please dont say "is there an image uploaded there" cause there is...

you did it wrong

it should be like this:

#CCCCCC" background="{imagesfolder }/frontpage/cat_bg_01.gif

do you notice where the quotes are?? that's what it should be, plus don't forget to remove the space between {imagesfolder and }

It still refuses to work...

look I only used 2 quotes, one after the color code (which is #CCCCCC to make it look like #CCCCCC") and one before the URL of the code (background="), so all together, the code looks like this:

#CCCCCC" background="images/frontpage/cat_bg_01.gif

see that red quotes (")?? that's the only places you need them, anywhere else it'll make it confused, cuz your basicly using HTML codes (and if you look in the templates, you'll see it's around been quoted, so if you close it with the quotes in the style thing and add another one after the code you want to use but don't close it, it well work like that).

Yeah, I did it that way, but even when I do that, the changes only showup on the forum home, not in the forum sections...
