Background image problem
Hello world!
I need your help! I am constructing new web site with textpattern. I like it very much but I have one big problem. It is the first time I work with php and css. I am sorry for my bad english but I hope you will understand me. I have draw an example image to you better understand me.
My front page is based on textpattern default page. It has two parts – main content page and sidebar. As background I use big image. My page has also another footer picture. And problem is when content of my articles is bigger then background image it destroies web design by dividing background image from footer image.

How can I solve my problem? I thought that I could limit count of excerpts on a page, but if I click on an exerpt and content of its article is too big then my background image so my webdesign goes to be destroyed again.

Maybe is it possible to limit content of every article by splitting pages so it will be shown in right counts and wont divide footer? I tried to use rss_auto_excerpt plugin, that can limit size of content so as I want but I dont know how to do so when by clicking on “Read more ..” opens next page of that article. On the Internet I have found other plugin – that can split pages but for this I must insert to every article special code. My blog content is very big so it is not really to to that.
Please anybody, help me!!!
Thank you,
Dmitriy.

Re: Background image problem
Don’t worry, no crucifications here for bad english.
( Mine is at a liberal bad level as well )
But the URLs, that you provide are pointing to an apache index page.
What is the page in question ?

Re: Background image problem
It is really difficult to understand what you mean, without a publically accessible example page.
As a general rule of thumb, here is what I suggest:
If you want to keep the TXP default templates :
- Duplicate your CSS files and edit those
- Use background URL’s in your CSS ( instead of images for layout purposes ) like so:
#footer ( backgound: #fff url(/graphics/my_tiling_background.gif) repeat-x top left; }

Re: Background image problem
Thank you to all I have solved this problem to put main background image to the container class and generic background to the main body tag.
