templed background

Hi!
I was wonder if I can use some of my own background (in gif) instead of the color in the guestbook? Is there someone who knows how to fix it in that case?
thanks//lotta

The BODY tag is found in templates/header.php. Simply add the background="" or add a body section to the CSS.

OK! Do I have to write the whole src www...in the background="" or how do I refer to my gif? I tried but I get an error message. //Lotta

Absolute URL sis best so background="http://www.xxx.com/image.gif"

I can't fix it!
I log on to my administration panel in the guestbook, then -> I open the Templates -> Header.php -> in my body line it says <body bgcolor="$VARS[pbgcolor]" link="$VARS[link_color]" vlink="$VARS[link_color]"> I have tried to do as you said but it only been error. Where do I put my background gif code?
I'm a happy beginner as you can understand.

I'm so sorry to tell you it won't work...
Shall I do something after I change the code? I know that the gif is uploaded to my site.
What am I doing wrong?

I get this errors
Warning: fopen(./templates/header.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /.../gastbook/lib/admin.class.php on line 193

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /.../gastbook/lib/admin.class.php on line 194

As it says at the top of the templates section of the admin you need to give write permission to the templates first. I personally do not recommend doing this as it is a security risk. Either use an FTP client to download the file, edit it on your PC and then reupload it or, and this is my recommendation, download PS Pad which is a text editor with built in FTP client. With PS Pad you can edit the file on your server.

Hi Carbonize!

I did it!!
It works.
Thanks//Lotta

Now I wonder where I can change the table in the guestbook. Can you help me again?
Please//Lotta

Explain what you mean by change?

Oh I'm sorry, I mean the gif thing you know. Change the color to a gif background...

Do exactly to same but with the table tag which I believe is in body.php.

Thank you!!
