Need Major Help With Left Column Background

I need to use an image for the left colum background instead of just having it plain color. What do I need to change or add in the theme and style.ccs?


Here's the code for the theme:


<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_lblocks}>
"><{$block.title}>

<{$block.content}>

<{/foreach}>


Here's the code for the style.ccs:

td#leftcolumn th
{
vertical-align: bottom;
border-bottom: 1px dashed #8699B5;
background-color: transparent;
color: #464646;


Please advise. Thank you.

change background-color to this

background-image: URL(image.gif);

in that example image.gif will be in the theme folder.. but u can put an actual path or url in there..

If your theme "blanks out", it is most often an indicator, that one has accidently screwed up a smarty tag (leabing out a curly bracket or the like).

Adding a style defintion to your stylesheet will not do this, unless you've set color:#fff;background:#fff;
Though, make sure you close all style definitions with the closing curly bracket (in the code you pasted, the closing curly bracket is missing). If you drop curly brackets, the following styles will be ignored.

what section in the style.ccs do you put the following line:

.b1 {
background-image: url(imagename.jpg);
}

To keep it simple:

Just place it at the bottom of your stylesheet, and place a comment above

// style added by wahut


...this way you can recall your changes.

If I make changes to a theme, I like to remember, where I made changes.

Nope... it's not working. The minute I put the following code on my theme, the whole site is gone. Anymore ideas?



Gosh... someone should just design an software like dream weaver and frontpage, where see the actual web page, to do this xoop thing.

...people are working on this, but statements like these demotivate and make me want to say "do it yourself"!!!!!

If this is to difficult for your, stop bothering with web sites, or leave the whining!

@bassman: of course it works
