Wiki - Background

  • This page is only a draft
What it is
The forum background is a image under every element of the forum.

How to change it
To change the background of your forum, simply go to the administrative tool Edit forum background and enter the URL of an image (the image must be on the Internet, if it is on your HD you need to go to http://imageshack.us/ and host it, taking the direct link to image). The formats allowed, as a background image, are .gif, .jpg or .png.
If you want to change only the color, in the curly brackets of the selector body, in Edit colors and styles replace or add background-color: #FFFFFF; #FFFFFF changing with another hex color.

Not repeated and centered or set background
Due to the different resolution of the PC of the users, it could happen that a user sees the background repeated and another user sees it smaller. You can partly solve this problem by going to Edit colors and styles and inserting, the curly brackets of the selector body, the following code
CITAZIONE
background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;

in this way the background will not be repeated and will be centered. You can change the position of the background using top, bottom, left or right instead of center or set to repeat the background vertically with repeat-y or horizontally with repeat-x.
If you want to keep the background fixed while you go down with the scroll in the forum, insert, always in the selector body,
CITAZIONE
background-attachment: fixed

if you want it scrolls down with the scroll, insert
CITAZIONE
background-attachment: scroll

You can not use a background that automatically adapts to the resolution in use by the user.

Different background for each section
To have a different background for each section go into the administrative tool Manage HTML code and insert
HTML
<style type="text/css">
body {background-image: url('http://indirizzo_sfondo')}
</style>

in the box of the section to which you want to change the background.
