Background...

[michaeka]

I want to change the background so that it matches the rest of my web pages. Currently I am not using PHP or CSS on my web site. I can and may add CSS but right now I don't have them added. I need to be able to change the background so that it matches the rest of the web site. I've tried changing every different possible combo of background tags I could find in the original style PHP but the best I could do is just the exhobit background.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

Come on guys I know someone has had to have done this. Just give me a general idea of what I need to change and I can do it. I just don't know where to start.

HELP ME PLEASE!!

Styles contain all colors, exhibit page background and user-interface colors. I'm not sure what is your problem because I can't see the site, but I'm sure you can match style to yours by editing style definition php files in style folder.

Here's the link. The site isn't fully active yet, that's why I didn't include a link. I just have 1 test picture up. I will change the style sheet back to the one I was editing so you can take a look at the code.

The root gallery is at

www.rcplathcompany.com/gallery/

if you need any other paths just e-mail me at michaeka@attbi.com.

Give me about 10 minutes or so to change the style sheet.

Ok I changed the style back to the one I'm tryign to edit. When you look at the Metal Spinning Gallery you will see that some of it had the background I want. While the rest is the white background. I want it all to be the picture background that is in that first gallery view.

I see now what you don't understand. I left out a very vital part. I'm trying to make the background a picture not a color. I'm using Ms Frontpage to do the rest of the site and I have a sheet metal looking background that I want to match with the photo gallery. Sorry about that, I thought I had typed it.

OK, to set a style use body background image:

Scroll to the end of a style file (e.g. styles/original.php).

Change line

background-image : none;

to

background-image : url(" . $toroot . "image.jpg)" .";

if image is inside a folder below gallery root, use

background-image : url(" . $toroot . "myfolder/image.jpg)" .";


A style defines a plain stylesheet among other things. The stylesheet or parts of it (in the end of a style definition file) can be replaced completely as above if just changing standard style parameters is not sufficient.

One note though: in design point of view I do not advice using busy image backgrounds on image galleries, as they tend to make whole thing quite messy...

PS. I hope you got your answer this time :)

PERFECT!!! I guess I got a little over delete happy in my editing.

Thank you VERY much... and Thank you for creating such a nice product. It was the perfect solution I was looking for and for just the right price too LOL.

If you go back and look at the gallery, you'll see the image isn't that bad and doesn't distract to much. Espically if you're looking at a bigger picture.


Could you do one other thing for me please. Take a look at my gallery list.php page. and look at YOUR logo. I'll gladly leave it on there but a bigger logo I thought was a big distracting. If you don't like it as small as it is I will make it a little bigger. I do wish to give you all the credit you deserve for such a fine product.
