Background

[soccerki]

Does anyone know how to change the background to a image?

 

[Mark]

.classname {
background: url(path/to/image.jpg) top left no repeat;
}

What File to Edit?

 

[Mark]

user.css

 

[Mark]

that looks fine, try it and see, if it doesn't work keep reading/learning and trying until you figure it out

 

[soccerki]

Something like this? background: url(skins/parabola/img/background.png) ?

I tryed that and it messed up my navigation bar, and never changed my background

a screenshot is 100% useless when troubleshooting code. Post your URL along with your edit

nav .column .add_server {
    display: block;
    padding: 0px;
    width: 114px;
    height: 40px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background: url(skins/parabola/img/background.png) bottom;
    text-indent: -99999px;

this part of your CSS: nav .column .add_server in HTML would be something like


<nav class="column">
<span class="add_server">


but your HTML code has none of this... so it cant possibly work.

I'm trying to get what you told me. You told me user.css So i search background, all I could find similiar was background: url(img/add_server.png) bottom; ... So where doo I add this background image at? I'm trying to add this image. http://top20mmo.com/skins/parabola/img/background.jpg

 

[Mark]

you want that on your "body"

in user.css add this:

body {
background: url(skins/parabola/img/background.png) top center;
}

I absolutly suck at CSS. Can you just edit the file and reupload? <3

 

[Mark]

uh where did you get that CSS file from? it has nothing to do with your website at all... appears stolen.

anyway, I told you exactly what to do, but when you do that you will have 10 other things to sort out.

 

[soccerki]

You just said edit user.css? http://prntscr.com/36so7z Wtf???

 

[soccerki]

Try this Zipped File?

 

[Mark]

WTF nothing, what i told you is correct... by default VisioList user.css is empty, YOUR user.css is full of code from another website...

I cannot help you further.

 

[soccerki]

Does it belong in the child folder or not?

No, your background does not work, because the path you entered is relative to the css file.

body {
background: url(skins/parabola/img/background.jpg) top center;
}

So the css file is in skins/parabola/
Your code looks for skins/parabola/skins/parabola/img/background.jpg , which i highly doubt you have in your skins folder

img/background.jpg would be the correct path

Taking it a step further, i would upload nothing to the core parabola, also not img.
If you have new images i would do child/img/myimage.png to prevent a possible overwrite on skin updates
