Forumhome background image · **Released**: 11-24-2002

Please could someone explain how to set an image in the background of the forumhome?

Everything I've found so far has been about category images, but what I would like to do is set it up so it looks like the forumbits are on top of one huge patterned image.

Any help appreciated.

Ummmm

Goto the replacement section of your admin cp and find the replacement for <body>

Copy what you have.

Then in your 'forumhome' template find:

PHP Code:


			
<body>

Replace it with the thing you just copied from the replacement section.

Then somewhere in your body tag put this:

PHP Code:


			
background="{ imagesfolder}/pagebg.gif"

Remove the gap from between the { and the imagesfolder though

Then upload your giant image to your images directory and there ya go
