Hello-
I would like to add a background image to this template. I did a search of the forum and say a few other posts on the same topic. I tried each of the suggestions in the other posts and none of them worked for me. Can you please tell me what CSS code I need to add? Thank you in advance for your help.

Are you using the 'stand-alone' Responsive theme or the Responsive theme within the Build.r template package? Adding a background image to any theme within the Build.r template package is very easy.

Thanks Ed

Cheers

I'm currently using the stand-alone Responsive theme but will download the Build.r template. Thank you very much for the response.

Hello-
I downloaded and installed the Build.R template and I don't see where to add a background image. Since I already have the stand-alone Responsive template set up the way I want, how would I go about adding a background image. Thank you in advance for your help.

Is the background covering the whole of the sites background?

Yes, it is. Thank you for the quick response.

Create a new 'custom module'. Add your background image into to this module, assign it to the menu pages you want it to show on, click No for show title and assign this module to the background position. Don't forget to Publish this module and Save. If all goes as planned your background image will show-up.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I really appreciate the help with this.

Sorry... gave you instructions for the Buildr-background theme. my bad! Let me poke around with my local install and see if I can assist before Paul jumps in and takes us both to school

I think from memory its

#zen-wrap {background-color:transparent;}
body {background:red}

replacing red with the image

Cheers
Paul

HaHa... thank you

working?

If you want an image as your background, follow my instructions regarding the module position and then add the following CSS into the 'custom.css' file;

Hi Paul- I was responding to Ed's comment about you schooling us both Where you wrote to replace 'red' with the image name, do I need to put the path for the image in? i.e..... /images/sitebackground.jpg

yep if using the custom.css I suggested

So it should look like this?
{background: /images/SiteBackground.jpg}

I tried the code that Ed suggested (thank you!!!) but that didn't work.

do you have a link for the site?

try adding

#zen-wrap {background-color:transparent;}
html, body {background: url(/images/SiteBackground.jpg);

Cheers
