-   -   background hack for Category backgrounds. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=32601)

Schmoo 11-22-2001 08:45 PM

I think it might be easist to explain this by first providing a link to my forums ( a Final Fantasy site)

http://www.ffhorizon.com/ffhforum/index.php

For my categories (main attractions, FF, site related, etc etc. ), I use a background image. Now my question is, is it posible some how to create a hack (or if there is one-which i dont think there is) that would allow me to use different background images for each category. (so a total of 4 different images would be used in this case).

If anyone could help me out that would be great.
FFAlpha used to do something like this, but that was on a ubb. So i don't know if it is possible for a vb.

thanks.

How do you at least do what you did. How do you make those categories have a background image?

Kumaro, go to your admin panel then go to style>modify>fonts/colors/etc> then under Category background color just use this:

#FFFFFF" background="{imagesfolder}/yourimage.gif

change yourimage.gif to whatever the image is that you made. Make it 25pixels high by 1pixel wide. you can change the #FFFFFF to your background color for your category background that way it atleast has a good color before the image loads. Also if people browse without images on then they will atleast get a good background color :D

Thanx Schmoo, working...

that doesnt work for me?

it makes the category strip go brown, and doesnt put the image there either

PHP Code:

#6687D4 background="{imagesfolder }/catbg.jpg" 

imagesfolder doesnt have a space before } though

please advise

Try it without the { imagesfolder } tag, like if you have catbg.jpg in the images folder then just put there images/catbg.jpg

In order to make it work, you have to put a " after the background color, so do #6687D4" background=blah...

I found only one problem with that though, when I try to do that it does work as christina said, but it screws up my CSS. I have my CSS set to where links are underlined only when you "mouseover" them and when I add " background="images/catbg.gif" to it then it forces all of the links to be underlined.

Anyone else seeing this or am I the only one? Below is what I place in the Cat BG color box:

#FFFFFF" background="images/catbg.gif"

Doing that presents the problem stated above :(

SaintDog 02-11-2002 02:12 AM

Ah, I found a way to get around that problem I was having so pay no attetion to the above post that I made. Instead of just adding 1 " you need to surround the color code with them also so that it looks like below:

"#000000" background="images/catbg.gif"

Mine works perfectly now :)

i will try this later :D let you know how it goes :D
