Serendipity Forums

I believe you are asking to use an image as the background for the <body> element. If so, you will find some good information on w3schools.com . A serendipity theme that uses a body background image is "pixel". It's css file demonstrates how to do this: body { text-align: center; margin: 0; padding:...

Probably. It is usually just a matter of css. We would need to know what serendipity theme you are using, which is one of the reasons I asked for a url to your site.

Behind what text? Can you provide a url to your site?

That is not working as expected....... so revert your changes.

Are you comfortable editing your theme's *.tpl files? If so, please add the following as the first line of entries.tpl or index.tpl assuming this is not yet a site with any visitors:

Code: Select all

{debug}

Garvin? Onli? Anyone else able to look into this issue?

Your category problem does not appear to be related to the Timeline theme, but you can verify that by switching themes to 2k11 to see if the problem continues or is solved.

If your preference is the Timeline theme, but you want this banner behavior from Cleanblog, it should be possible. Otherwise it is just a matter of trial and error to get it to work. PM me if you need additional assistance.

Not sure the method above will work for retrieving the image... maybe this will: {else} {assign var=random_id value=1|mt_rand:5} <style type="text/css">.intro-header {ldelim}background-image: url('{$serendipityHTTPPath}templates/{$template}/img/background{$random_id}.jpg');{rdelim}</style> {/if}

Cleanblog assigns entry header images using this: {if $view=="entry"} {if $entry.properties.entry_specific_header_image} <style type="text/css">.intro-header {ldelim}background-image: url('{$entry.properties.entry_specific_header_image}');{rdelim}</style> {else} <style type="text/css">.intro-header ...

The timeline theme has an option to display posts like a normal blog posts. A little work on entries.tpl and you could eliminate the entry images.

What do you mean by "rotating header images"?

Hi! You are welcome to modify either theme to serve your purposes! Be sure to post a url of your changes so we can all see your modifications!

Am I understanding you correctly: You want to use the timeline theme, but display a category specific sub header on entry pages instead of the same sub header on all pages? If so, it might be fairly easy. In index.tpl is this: {* SUBHEADER IMAGE *} {if $template_option.subheader_img} <style type="te...

Many themes style <code>....</code>. Or <pre>...</pre>
