CSS body style from template option ?

[sonichouse]

I have the following in my style.css

background: url({TEMPLATE_PATH}img/{$template_option.backgroundimg}) no-repeat 0 0 #fff;

The {$template_option.backgroundimg} is correctly expanded to aerodrome.jpg when I print it within index.tpl, but the option does not get expanded in the CSS.

How do I achieve this ?

Smarty doesn't work in CSS stylesheets (because it's a PHP template system). Inline styles in your index.tpl should work, though. See Bulletproof's index.tpl for an example (<style type="text/css"> at the beginning of it).

Sorry I don't have much time to explain this in detail now.

HTH,

Thanks YL, that was the info I required.

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
    body {ldelim}background: url({$serendipityHTTPPath}templates/{$template}/img/{$template_option.backgroundimg}) no-repeat 0 0 #fff;{rdelim}
</style>

Works like a charm.

Steve - I think that will work as just img/{$template_option.backgroundimg} - give it a try.

Hi Don,
I lost the {$serendipityHTTPPath} ...

url(templates/{$template}/img/{$template_option.backgroundimg})

Was the only combination that works.
