Well, first of all "background-image" is a CSS / Style attribute not HTML, so you will either need to use:

style="background-image ......" or better, use a

class="give it a name" and then add that class definition to your CSS.

You are getting a parse error. Do you see anything different in how the quotes look in your <td> line? Wink

you mean with the "\" (backslashs) ? if so thats a direct copy and paste from the table.php file.........

Like I said, you have a parse error and it appears to be in the code you added. I am not sure if these are echo lines or a variable assignment, so I will assume it is echo. To fix the parse error, it would need to look like this:

Code:




echo "<td style=\"background-image= url(themes/fisubice/images/cellpic4.jpg)\"><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\"> 


<tr> 


<td>";

if you are going to wrap a string in " ", you MUST backslash each of the inner double-quotes.

Fix that first so that you can actually see what your code is doing rather than giving you the white page.

mds, please use the bbcode code tag....

By "not work" do you mean it is still giving you the white page (which is what I was first trying to resolve), or, it isn't showing the way you want it to?

I see no parse issues with this file as is, so you may have an issue in another file that you've possibly edited.

sorry..fixed Very Happy

its blank white page......could this have something to do with working on this locally......

What do you mean by "working on this locally"? If you are accessing this file directly, this script is just defining these functions so it will output a blank white page. This is a theme file to the tables.php right? I see know issue with this script so you must have a parse error somewhere else? Maybe with changes to the theme.php?

i have wamp setup on my desktop so i can have a working ravennuke site setup to work from instead of on the "live" server

yes its the standard fisubice theme that comes with ravens latest distro...only thing i have been editing is blocks.html, and this line in style.css

Code:

.body{background:url(\themes\fisubice\images\bg_main.jpg);color:#000000;}

nothing in themes.php has been changed

and so far everything is working until i try adding a background image in table.php...i can change to other colors etc. and everything works with color specified....just when trying to change to an image does it go blank

i'm also using PHPEDIT which checks for errors with changes and everything checks so far

when i add :

Code:

echo "<td style=\"background-image= url(themes/fisubice/images/cellpic4.jpg)\"><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\">


<tr>

phpedit gives me this error:
unexpected T_String, expecting ',' or ';' (line 24) of table.php

then if i take off the echo" in phpedit the error goes away but the dreaded white screen is still there

Try this:

Code:




echo "<td style=\"background-image= url(themes/fisubice/images/cellpic4.jpg);\"><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\"> 


<tr>

If you see, I added a semi-colon to close out the style tag. Not sure that is it as its strange in that it denotes a parse error while I would think that would given you a different "run-time" issue.

By the way, CSS / Style URL's are relative to the file where the style tag is used. So, in this case, I am thinking this would not work the way you have it. You might try just:

images/cellpic4.jpg

ok so ended up starting over with a fresh fisubice theme......somewhere along the way something went array so i decided to start over fresh...i also think that the browsers ( both firefox and IE ) where part at fault as well....for some reason firefox still does not load all the images ...and for the most part IE everything is working as changed...so far..

in tables.php heres what ended up working

Code:

<tr>


                      <td style=\"background-image= url(themes/fisubice/images/cellpic_nav.jpg)\"><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\">


                          <tr>


                            <td>";

and as for the

i had thought about that about the same time you posted it but didnt get a chance to try it till tonight and no go.....i started with images/cellpic4.jpg and saved it...refreshed the page...nothing...added in a / and saved nope didnt work either...added back in fisubice and saved nope no diiff...anyway ended up with full path to image..

i have font colors to play with and the "story pages" to play with and few minor details to change yet ..but you can view what i have done so far at nocfa dot org and let me know how im doing Very Happy

and as i said it displays like it should with IE and not firefox...atleast not for me anyway...please let me know if it work in firefox for you

Thanks for all the help (past and future ) and the time I've taken you away from the 2.10 project that we are all trying to wait patiently for ...
