Smart Backgrounds support

[Edm]

Thanks for reply Glen,
I will try the no repeat when I get it back up and running. I so over this at present.
Easyphp failed yesterday while working on the site, mysql error, said to re install easy php to fix problem, so I did reinstall, now I cant get it to recognise the site.
If/when i get this thing working I will look for updated version for install.
Thanks again
Regards
Eddie

Oops, typo:
background_repeat: no-repeat;
should be

background-repeat: no-repeat;

I have the header background working for the home page and one category page (Fighter Pilots). So why isn't working on the Rosie the Riveter category? I have the style sheet and the images set up the same. I also tried it on 1 ez page (We Donate) and it's not changing! Please help.

.smartBG_1 #logoWrapper {margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; display: block; background: url('../images/header-bg2.png') center no-repeat; height: 280px;}
.smartBG_2 #logoWrapper {margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; display: block; background: url('../images/header-bg3.png') center no-repeat; height: 280px;}

/*example to set header bg for ez-page id 1*/
.smartBG_page1 #logoWrapper {margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; display: block; background: url('../images/headerbg_page1.png') center no-repeat; height: 280px;}

Thanks

The code looks for specific filenames to activate the background images. If those names are not present, the default will be used. header-bg2.png and headerbg_page1.png are not recognized names; as the readme says, "Name your background images like smartbg_23.gif or smartbg_shippinginfo.gif"

The standard code looks for gif images; if you want to use png's, change .gif to .png in all occurrences.

The number if applicable must match the category or ez-page id number.

That worked thanks. I had it named like that on the first 2 so thought it would work on the rest. Guess not.

What about subcategories?
It doesn't seem to be working.

If you click on the main nav bar you will see the header image change. But not on categories like men, women, etc.

I see you instructions say " each top category or page."
No that means no sub categories...?

[gjh42]

Correct. The code could be tweaked to work with subcategories as well as top cats. It seemed most likely that people would want to use top cats; if the code accounts for subcats, you would need an image for every subcat.

Ok. Well that's over my head. So guess I'll leave it. Thanks.
