Images not showing from CSS

[Aron]

Hello,

I am trying to convert my static html site into CMS ms, but I'm having a few problems. The images from my CSS file arent showing. I have tried to move them to another folder, but they still wont show.

This is my site as it should be: www.konghund.dk/old

And here's what it looks like when I have installed it as a template in CMSms: www.konghund.dk

Any idea why it's not showing the images?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: You are declaring "#body" instead of "body" in the css

I was just trying something, and I added "#". I have removed this not, but that doesn't affect anything. Any other suggestions?

Hello Aron

Do you have the {metadata} tag in the head of your html template?

It doesn't look like it...

@Aron
One of the problems of moving a template to cmsms is that most flat file ones have the images in a root folder called images while it is best practice in cmsms to move all template images into a folder in uploads/ named after the template or site or ? and change the style sheets to reflect this like uploads/woof/image.jpg and any images you want to add to pages would go in uploads/images or even a new folder in uploads/images so you will become accustomed to how the system works...

Thank you for all the answers.

I have now done all you requested, but the pictures still doesn't show and I still have no idea why

Any other suggestions? I hope I don't have to start all over with the site.

Uhm... I don't see any difference between the two sites ??

[Aron]

Sorry, I have only been checking in Google Chrome, where it won't show the background image. Sorry i didn't make this clear. The background was shown back when the site was static and it shows correctly in IE and Firefox.

I see it now

Strange... Could it be the BG.png isn't right? I know of issues with jpg images which are in CMYK format...
The background image of news shows correct... Could you try with another image for the body background?

edit: forget this... it shows correct in chrome with the static site so something else is happening... I'll look further...

Tried with the dog image, but it still doesn't show.

Thanks for helping Jos. Meanwhile I am trying to add the newsbox, which works fine, but is there a way to define a max length or size of the newsbox, so that it stays inside the image?

[Jos]

It looks as if the body doesn't get a style at all in Chrome. Could it be there is some invisible character there. Could you try to give the background a color at the bottom of your stylesheet (so a new declaration)

is there a way to define a max length or size of the newsbox, so that it stays inside the image?

give it

Code: Select all

overflow: hidden

[Jos]

Or could it be the wrapper perhaps... could you try make it transparent?

[Jos]

another possibility: the element is missing in your template

[Dr.CSS]

Yes you are missing the <__html in both of them...
