Adding a background image into the reply boxes · **Released**: 10-25-2006

**** THIS SHOULD (DID 4 ME) ADD A BACKGROUND IMAGE TO THE QUICK REPLY BOX AS WELL ****

This is NOT a hack, its just a very simple template edit, so theres nuthing to download or install, this only been tested on IE6:
Go to>

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Main CSS (in the menu)
Edit these two sections

- WYSIWYG Editor

- Input Fields

Add the line below in the Standard CSS Attributes side, in the "background" field

Code:

#2D2D2D url(images/yourimagehere) repeat-x center fixed

Replace the "green" text with your color code & the path/filename of your background image.

example:
images/replyboxbg.gif

Then

add this into the Extra CSS Attributes box:

Code:

background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;

(see attachments)

Save CSS and your good to go....

Please Click INSTALL

Enjoy!

Using IE 7 one of the beta's still

and FireFox.

vBulletin 3.6.0. However with my method when using the quick edit of posts its the only time i've noticed it repeating itself so far.

I used your method, and the only time it showed up for me, was when the reply box would be centered on the screen :dunno: thats the great software developers for you. Im sure either way gets the job done

ahh ok, it could also be the size of your background image.... I've had people using backgrounds that are larger the the actual size of the reply boxes, when I created my background image I made it small enough to fit inside, like the attachment in the first post.

I do beleave if you add the "fixed" after this
#2D2D2D url(images/yourimagehere) repeat-x center

it will keep your background image center'd and also keep it static so it will not move when people create large messages, but I could be wrong.

Anyway thanks for posting, and if you can't get this to work try what Ntfu2 posted =)

(nice site btw ntfu2)

going to give this a try looks pretty sweet..

what size are you guys saving your image at in order to get it to fill the whole box properly?

mine is 194 x 155 I'm sure you could go a tad bit bigger... but I wouldn't suggest using very large images, like 800x600 or anything like that.

:lick:

**EDIT**
heres the exact image I used.. feel free to use it if your into Counter-Strike, lol
