Backround pic for my fourm main page · **Released**: 01-19-2003

i was wondering how you can place a backround picture on your forums home page. i see that www.zelaron.com/forums did it. just look at there "X79" style. the backround image doesnt move when you scroll down the page. i wanted to do something like that.

Thats probably two modifications. One to add it to all the tables and another for the background.

There is a mod for the table one AFAIK, somebody else can help you with that.

For the outside table on go to your style settings - body tag.

Add a background="" tag there and put the URL there to the background image.

background="whatever.gif" in the <body> tag will do it

Ok, but will that keep the background image static? We don't want the BG image to scroll when you scroll down the page. Also, is there a hack to make all the Forum categories and backgrounds transparent?

No it won't keep it static...

To make your forum categories transparent go into your forumhome_level1_nopost template and find:

PHP Code:


			
<td bgcolor="{ categorybackcolor}" colspan="6">

Change it to:

PHP Code:


			
<td colspan="6">

Btw ignore the gap between "{" and "categorybackcolor"

That will make my sub forums cat transparent?

Dean C · #8 01-20-2003, 06:40 PM

I'm confused what page do you want the categories to be transparent?

I think Nemesis means the forum home page, and the background behind the forum name and description. Also, that'll just make the forum name background completely transparent, right? I guess we should of specified a little more, we want them just a little transparent. Is there a way to adjust opacity? An do you know of a way to make the BG image static?

Thanks
