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!

If that didn't work.........

Try this:

Along with the changes above, do these edits to showthread_quickreply

Find:

Code:

 
 
<iframe id="htmlbox" style="width:600px; height:100px" tabindex="1"></iframe>

Change to:

Code:

 
<iframe id="htmlbox" style="background:#HEX url(path/to/file); width:600px; height:100px" tabindex="1"></iframe>

Find:

Code:

 
 
<textarea name="message" id="qr_message" class="bginput" style="width:600px; height:100px" cols="60" rows="5" tabindex="1"></textarea>

Change to:

Code:

 
<textarea name="message" id="qr_message" class="bginput" style="background:#HEX url(path/to/file); width:600px; height:100px" cols="60" rows="5" tabindex="1"></textarea>

Find:

Code:

 
 
<textarea name="message" id="qr_message" class="bginput" style="width:600px; height:100px;" rows="5" cols="60" tabindex="1"></textarea>

Change to:

Code:

 
<textarea name="message" id="qr_message" class="bginput" style="background:#HEX url(path/to/file); width:600px; height:100px;" cols="60" rows="5" tabindex="1"></textarea>

Remember to change the "green" text to your own values.

Let me know how it goes.

what version of vB are you using? because when I first tried to do this, I also had nuthing in the extra CSS fields and did not include "fixed", but when I did it that way the background image kept repeating, the only way I could get it from not repeating was doing what I first posted.

Could this be a version conflict? or maybe a browser?
Like I mentioned, I have not used this with anything other then IE 6
