I've been trying my hand at a custom style but I'm not able to use a background image in the banner area. I've placed an image in my /img directory of my new style called background.png but it won't display. Here's the section of my style.css:

Code: Select all

#serendipity_banner {
    border-left: 1px solid #000000;
    border-right: 1px solid #000000;
    margin: auto;
    width: 95%;
    height: 201px;
    background-image: url({TEMPLATE_PATH}img/background.png) no-repeat;
}

I've put smaller images in the directory and it's worked, is my image too big (1024x201)?

i think the problem is with the no-repeat.

the way you have it used is not the correct implimentation of it.
here's how it should be:

Code: Select all

    height: 201px;
    background-image: url({TEMPLATE_PATH}img/background.png);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;

or

Code: Select all

    height: 201px;
    background: url({TEMPLATE_PATH}img/background.png) no-repeat;

I had it set up before without the no-repeat option but I will give that a try when I get a chance. For some reason I'm really thinking it has to do with that image because if I don't change the code and just replace the image with another one it works fine. Permissions on the image???

hmm...it works for me that way, and the image size doesn't matter.

for the file to have the same permissions as the other pics in the directory use...

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 755 filename.ext

dunno why they have to be executible, but thats how the other files are set. that gives it rwxr-xr-x permisions.
