[Forum] Background Image vbulletin 4.1.0

[Mickael Sengez]

Hi there,

I just finished succesfully upgrading my forum from 4.0.8 to 4.1.0.
The only problem is that the image background on the forum homepage not more showing up.

Is there any way to fix this plz?

The link to my forum is:

The image background is in this folder: images/warrior/backgrounds/bg_wow9.png

What i need 2 get is this:



Before upgrading to 4.1 the only thing i have to do whas this:

vBulletin Admin CP, look for Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Warrior > Edit Templates > CSS Templates > vbulletin.css, find:

.skinbox_background {
background:#000 url(images/warrior/backgrounds/bg_socom.png) no-repeat fixed top center;
}

Sorry to but in, I just wanted to know if the image is good for a skin or will it change it on all skins.
Sorry again.

[Mickael Sengez]

Just for one skin Amberly.

Just for one skin Amberly.

Thank you kindly for your fast response. I have about ten skins and wanted to make sure my members are able to chose if they want the image. Good question BTW

}

Did you try addint that to your additional.css template (or vbulletin.css)? That is still a valid class for your skin and it is currently not in the CSS at all.

Ty m8, finally worked.

Doc vs Body Background!

Hi Guys,
I have noticed references to both the DOC_Background and the BODY_Background StylVars - which one is used to have a single background image that 'can' dinamically re-sizes to fit the screen resolution of browser window? In my case I do not want to use the REPEAT feature, I want a single image...

Aslo - what size in pixels does the background image need to be ?

Thanks
Andy

Here's some help on that - http://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizea...kground-image/

This isn't just some CSS thing you can input. It's going to require some custom template changes. If you need more help with this, post on vb.org (I think we have gone over this before over there, so try a search).
