Image Background On Homepage
« on: August 10, 2018, 01:06:06 PM »
I was wondering if anyone had any luck putting a background image just on the home page. I would like to place mine just in the main content area. So far I have tried to experiment with placing a class within the "main container" div and the "column_left col-md-3 col-xs-12" on page.tpl. At this point, I can't even get the image to show up using this CSS on the style.css on all all the pages let along exclude it to just the home page.

.backme {
  background: url(images/backme.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
}

As I have said before my goal is to have the background only to show up on the home page, but at this point, I would like to even get it to show up on every page. I am using the default theme. Thanks in advance for any help!

Unfortunately, there is no css class or ID to identify main page
You would need to add some logic to page.tpl template
https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/storefront/view/default/template/common/page.tpl

For instance, you can put below code in the body and limit your CSS to page what you need

Code: [Select]
<body class="<?php echo str_replace("\\""-"$this->request->get['rt']); ?>">

This is a bit over my head.  I will try to get some help to make sense out of what you said. I only know a little PHP.  Any reason why I can't get the css to work when trying to add an image to the background on every page in the main content area.  Do you have any suggestions?

Just a thought I think it would be a great mod to add this option on the next release.  Thanks again for your help!
