I have changed my forum style to the minimalistic style and got it to look how i really need it to, but i cant change the backround to a repeating gif thats on the rest of the site. I can change the backround colour from the main style sheet in the admin section, but when i added the code to the minimalistic.css it had no effect.
I kinda need that backround to keep a consistant style for the site.
can anyone help? |

I don't have a copy of the minimalistic template to use as a guide. Do you happen to have a download link for it???
Sometimes you have to make the changes in the overall_header.tpl file and other times the template css file. Then other times, you either have to change it in the theme_info.cfg file or in the ACP Styles admin. It can get confusing figuring out where the settings are coming from at times...

Ok, in your Minimalistic.css file, you should find the following code for your forum body settings:
| Code:
|
body {
scrollbar-face-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #D1D7DC;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #006699;
scrollbar-track-color: #EFEFEF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #98AAB1;
body
width:770;
height: 100%;
background-image: url(images/bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x repeat-y;
padding: 0;
margin: 0}
}
|
You should be able to change the following setting to the graphic that you want to use:
| Code:
|
|
background-image: url(images/bg.gif);
|
Also in your theme_info.cfg file, you should see the following line which you can point to your image:
| Code:
|
|
$Minimalistic[0]['body_background'] = "bg2.gif";
|
If your overall_header.tpl file is using this setting, then you will have to go into your ACP Styles Admin and click on Management. Next to the Minimalistic template, click on Edit:
Then for enter the graphic file name here in the Background Image box. You don't need to include the path to the image...
You should have uploaded your image to your Minimalistic/images folder too...
If that doesn't work, edit your Minimalistic/overall_header.tpl file and search for the following:
| Code:
|
body {
margin: 0;
background-color: {T_BODY_BGCOLOR; background-image: url(images/bg.gif);
};
|
Change bg.gif to the graphic file name that you are using...

Try this:
OPEN
overall_header.tpl
FIND
| Code:
|
|
background-color: {T_BODY_BGCOLOR; background-image: url(images/bg.gif);
|
REPLACE WITH
| Code:
|
|
background-color: {T_BODY_BGCOLOR; background-image: url(templates/Minimalistic/images/bg.gif);
|
Save and upload to the templtes/Minimalistic folder. Make sure you create a good backup of the file before overwriting it with this modified version...
