Background images in different forum listings?

[Lazerus]

Hey im new here, great site by the way, anyway im trying to put background images behind the forum selections of the home page(if you can understand whati mean) but i don't want background images on them all, so i went into the forum description, and added some html which would normanlly work, but it didn;t. the html btw was <td background="img src"> anyone got any other suggestions on ways to accomplish this? thanx in advance.

just modify the forumhome templates
take a stab at it, and you'll start to get the hang of it

Not sure if you can get different backgrounds for each forum title with out redoing alot of templates. If you just want to add a background for all the forum titles just edit the template " forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost " and make it look somthing like this:


<tr id="cat">
<td background="images/layout/forum_bg.jpg" bgcolor="#336D95" background="images/catagory_backing.gif" bgcolor="#336D95" background="images/catagory_backing.gif" colspan="6"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont color="#000000"><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
<br><smallfont color="#000000">$forum[description]</smallfont></td>
</tr>


Just change " background="images/layout/forum_bg.jpg " to the image you want to use.

You may also want to edit the template "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post"

I know this isnt the answer you were looking for but it may help you in getting what you want
