Trouble using TXP Fresh Bananas theme

Hello,

I’m new to Textpattern, and very impressed with it – except for the lack of theme support.

I am trying to install the Fresh Bananas theme, at my site . it seems to me that actually none of the images are being used, so the problem is most likely in the Presentation>Style ? Since I think this is the only file that actually refers to the images.

just as a sample I have

#header {
	background: url(/images/15.jpg) center;
	margin: 0 auto 20px;
	text-align: left;
	width: 720px;
}

and the image is here .

I’m using Textpattern 4.0.4 r1956.

So, any suggestions at this stage would be welcome, because my small CSS knowledge just hit a brick wall.

thanks,
Brianna

Re: Trouble using TXP Fresh Bananas theme

The easiest method is to FTP the images contained in TXP Fresh Bananas.zip to your images directory, forget about uploading them via the admin interface which gives them each a number.

Then use the original css.txt file and paste it into the admin which would have this:

#header {
	background: url(/images/box-repeat.jpg) center;
	margin: 0 auto 20px;
	text-align: left;
	width: 720px;
}

Re: Trouble using TXP Fresh Bananas theme

hm. the skin instructions instructed me to upload them via the image interface and change the CSS file. just FTPing them in and not changing it would have been a lot easier. :/

anyway I did that now. and still no dice.

it is able to access images in that images directory… I made a test post using an image. so… I’m out of ideas again.

Re: Trouble using TXP Fresh Bananas theme

Try this:

#header {
	background: url(../images/box-repeat.jpg) center;
	margin: 0 auto 20px;
	text-align: left;
	width: 720px;
}

Let me explain, css.php resides in the /textpattern folder, the /images folder is also off the root. So you have to go up one level to find the images folder, cause it’s not in the textpattern folder.
