forumhome background image
 

So i would like to configure a background image in each cell where the forumname is...but i've looked everywhere in the templates and i can't seem to find it
this is the effect i would like to reach: http://forums.ffhorizon.com , example: u have general chat forum, and i would like a background image like that...
any ideas? :nervous:

its a simple temlpate trick ;)

yeh, but care to explain a bit more please?

its really overly simple when you thinkg about it

{imagesfolder}/$forumid/image.ext

or you could use the varible for the forum name :)

hold on...i'll try it :)

granted you do have an image there

question: in what template do i put this code? :s

honestly, :\ dun remember :D

play around, youll get it

i still cant see to find the template...anyone help me with this?

The template will be the forumhome_forumbit_levelx_[no]post ones:)

i tried that but then the image has the length of the forum description and doesn't cover the whole cell...
this is what i adjusted:

<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" colspan="2" align="left">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td valign="top"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[onoff].gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
<td><img src="{imagesfolder}/clear.gif" width="9" height="0" border="0" alt=""></td>
<td background="{imagesfolder}/$forumid.jpeg"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&amp;forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
<br>
<smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont></td>
</tr></table>
</td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>$forum[replycount]</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>$forum[threadcount]</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[lastpostinfo]</smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[moderators]</smallfont></td>
</tr>

You'll have to add background="{imagesfolder}/$forumid.jpeg to the other cells:

You're mistaking me there...I only want it to show up in the forum name with forum description cell, not the other cells...and to cover the entire cell :s

Yeah sorry, I misread the post:o

Can I have a screenshot of the problem?

the effect when i use this code:
on the template forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
screenshot:

sorry, had some trouble with adding the image

I think you might need to change the width of the image

argh :D

that doesn't seem to help...:x

Not sure what else to do then. Unless you try changing the width of the cell

If you have the hack that changes the table color on mouseover, will this still work?

The code is a bit diff, and I been playing, but no luck...
