Background image/colour defined by html file?

I have many html files that I want to wrap in XOOPS with CJaycontent. I noticed that the background image never displayed nor the background colour.
What is the best method to let the html file determine background image/colour?

Should I change the style.css file and include my own class, or change the theme.html with a conditional test like : if mod name is CJaycontent don't include the style.css, or ....?

Thanks

I use tables for my html content in cjaycontent. That way I can define the background for my article/page that way. You can add bgcolor or background images that way. This works for me anyway.

Thanks CBlue and Stewdio
Let me explain a little more :
For instance beauty.html has this properties inside the html file
Quote:

*note this is from my hard disk, on my site I changed path names.

No when I look with CJay I see : This
When I look at the plain html file I see : This

I have many files like for instance : This and That
All with different background colours.
I use the Zaja themes and there is a style.css included :
Quote:



In the Zaja style.css there is this :Quote:
body
{
color: black;
background: #97B7AF;
font-family: Verdana,Arial;
margin: 0px;


So this overrules the settings of my html files.

Now I want to change this, but I'm looking for the best method (also looking into the future)
Is this method checking the module/name/path and include a style.css file OR not, or something else....

I think here is the answer for your question:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13464&forum=1#forumpost54001
and here:
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14077&forum=20#forumpost56662

According this you should write something like the following within your beauty.html

<body style="color: #FFFFFF; background-image:url(journey_bg.jpg)">


The stylesheet settings have always precedence over the HTML
tag attributes.

Svaha, as I said above, I take out the body attributes from my html pages and just have , then I put under the body tag. That makes the whole html page whatever I want it.

Hi all, thank you for the answers, CBlue I did not try that one with the table yet, but I'll do that also.

I tried answer of Robekras : here but that is not what I wanted
So after crushing some old furniture I went on with my trial/error non systematic approach.
I 'found' Quote:
that worked for me, you can see it here for a while.
Now that's what I want.
As said, I will try your answer also CBlue.

This covers for me a solution for the style of individual files, the question for a solution for a module remains. I've read somewhere on this site an answer Skalpa gave (as far as I can remember) on the implementation of a common(don't know if this is good English) method for modules and style related things.
I think it's important to make this nice and clean, so you can find afterwards easily things you want to change.
It is also a speed issue, I think. A css file smaller then 1k? loads faster, this maybe a small issue, but all counts.

Aloha

Hope I do understand you correctly.

If you want to have an additional stylesheet file for a module you could add the following line to the module's mainfile (in general index.php):
$xoopsTpl->assign ('xoops_module_header', '.XOOPS_URL.'/modules/rwk/theme/default/style.css" />');

Of course you have to change the path to the style.css (it's just a cut and paste from one of my files)

As far as I know (and remember) for the next version of XOOPS there is a new (and better) way to include something into the HTML head.

Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks.

By the way is your avatar a 'hop' plant?

Just look up the word hop.

If it is correct you mean the plant we need for brewing beer.
Although I live in Bavaria, near the largest hop cultivation area of the world...
I try to do in the art of Bonsai,
and this is just a small chest nut (Aesculus hippocastanum). Which has of course also something to do with beer.
I don't know if you know Bavaria, but we have many beer gardens (German: Biergarten) here, and this Biergarten is a very popular place in summer. We sit under a, in this case, large chest nut tree and drink a cold fresh Maß (1 litre in a mug) of beer and feel good , and maybe drink one more and more and more

Prost, skol, salute, cheers
