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!

well... I finally got it in there, but when I add it to the input fields box it shows up in the title on new reply...anyone else having that issue?

brvheart: You're putting it in the wrong place...put it in the WYSIWYG Editor area (just like in the screenshot) above the Input Fields one. Made this mistake myself at first!

you shouldn't be doing anything in 'Input Fields'...the coder of this hack should take that part out of the instructions.

smoovie: There's a line underneath that says this...tick the box, then save.

To revert this group of settings to their inherited value, tick this box and submit the form.

Thank you, so how do I get it in the full reply as well as quick reply?

Just like I said...in the WYSIWYG Editor area. Mine shows up in QR as well. Here's what my code looks like...

In the 'Standard CSS Attributes' in the background line...

#FFE4E1 url(images/pupkit.gif) repeat-x center fixed

That's my background color and image.

In the 'Extra CSS Attributes' box, you want...

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

Just make sure your image isn't real big.

Hope this helps you!

Mine did not add it in both quick reply and Reply...

I just scrapped this way and did it with a template edit instead and it works just fine....guess there is more then one way to skin a cat

LOL!! I guess!! Well, I'm glad you got it working anyway.

TheMilkCarton · #78 03-22-2007, 07:05 PM

Well I fixed my problem too. Apparently when you declare the background position in the Background box where you enter the url(), it doesn't work right... as if it's applying the positioning as relative to the image, not the background. I thought I knew CSS pretty well... and I don't think this should be happening. haha.

Anyway, I declared "background-position" over in the extra attributes box and NOW finally, the image will stay centered no matter what size the editor box is.
