My problem is that i have multiple articles and for each article, i want to display a different image in background, with the text over it. It is possible?
In my db i have article_id,article_title, article_content and article_image. i want 'article_image' in background of 'article_content'.

thanks

Hi

This should be easy to do.

If you want the image to be for the whole page: Like This:

In the html change your body tag to look like this
<body background="{BGImage}">

Then in the before show event (After you get the image url from the database)

global $Tpl;

$Tpl->setvar("BGImage",ImageURLStringFromDB);

This will change the entire page background image.

You can do the same thing of you want it for a table only:

HTML:

<table background="{BGImage}">

And the same CCS code

You could also apply this to cells or rows by using inline styles something like this

<td style="background-image:url('{BGImage}')">
(Note same would be true with th and tr tags)

And the same CCS code.

BTW: The image URL does not have to be a full http:// type url if the image is located on your server. It would only have to comtain the path to the image relative to where the script is running.

Have fun.

I created a simple CCS script that is able to load background (or any)
image and it can even load an image randomly. It is called with a
standard image tag so it works even is a style sheet although for your
needs, it would probably have to be done dynamically for each article in
order to know which background to use.
