Main Background Changer
This small script allows you to change the main background of your cottage.
The main background is the background behind the whole page, which is currently a snowy scene. DISCLAIMER! In the event that Amanda changes the background code, or adds a DIV element to the top of the page, your background will break. BTW> If your topic spans multiple pages, the bg will only be diffrent for the page your posted it on. Also, don't post it multiplt times per page, I doubt anything bad would happen, but still... RULES! I shouldn't need to make rules, just don't do anything stupid. Also, don't apply this to topics you don't own. Current Features: + Replaces Amaranthia's Main Background + Works in cottages and topics + Easy to use! Just enter your image's URL and bam! Upcoming Features: + Layered Backgrounds (Up to three) + Color (No image) + Background positioning (Left, bottom, ect...) InstallationOk, first you need to upload your background image. To do this, I recomend a service like ImageShack or Photobucket HOWEVER! If you want to use a background you found on another page, please for the love of webmasters, reupload it! When you hotlink images from other websites, you are actually stealing thier bandwidth, which can be very expensive. On, once it is uploaded, paste the link to the image below, this should be a direct link; don't use ones like "For your friends" or "For Forums" because they won't work. You're almost done! Now, copy the code above and paste it into your cottage or topic! Congrats! You've added a background to your page! If you want, you can add a link to my website (http://www.dtdsoft.com/) or this topic. Oh yeah, you have to promise to mention this topic when someone asks you how you changed the background. Just reminding you, don't hijack people's topics with backgrounds, also it'd be a bad idea to use a distracting or animated background. ~DtD Want a mod for your cottage?
Contact me! NOTE: I have a horrible habbit of getting really busy, so some mods may take a while, or never be completed. NOTE: Whenever I edit this topic, the generator will break! Please let me know if I do this!

Ok, I finnally got it working
Thoose of you watching this topic will know that a bug in IE was causing the script to be problemmatic. The bug was that the end tag for scripts is phrased by IE even if it is in a string (for thoose of you who aren't much of programmers, this is really stupid of IE and should not happen.) Anyway, I bypassed the problem in my initial tests by replacing the < and > with < and > however stupid XOOPS doesn't store it's data properly, whenever I edited the < and > became < and > literally because XOOPS isn't processing & as & >.< Anyway, to make a long story short, I got it working, but if I edit it will break >.< ~DtD

Okay, is there a way to change the background for each of the rooms in the cottage with this code? I tried pasting the code between the code for one of my rooms, but it seems like it's a universal thing -- if any of that makes sense...

@shaz and phoenix
I'm glad you liked it, with this new "Disable Linebreaks" feature, it is soooooo much easier to make JS stuff in topic, I'm gonna try to get Amanda to let me write a mod to allow that feature in cottages too. @panda Ah, you mean to make it so when you change rooms the background changes? That sounds like a good idea, I'll add it next time I update. ~DtD

It's brilliant. I used it in my cottage, but somehow I couldn't manage to make it work with a topic...

Amanda disabled html in the main forum a few days ago. Perhaps pages that already had this are still working, but new ones probably won't. DtD can confirm/deny whether that'd be what's causing it.

Do you have to be the topic creator in order for the code to work?
Case In Point: 1. Crafty started a topic in the W&W forum. 2. I edited in the code into her post and it worked fine. 3. I added the code to one of my posts on the 2nd page of the topic and it didn't work. 4. Crafty added the code to one of her posts on the 2nd page and it did work.

It's the topic for my cottage. So yes, it is started by me. I did nothing different from what I did at my cottage, but it won't work. What shaz said sounds reasonable, though. I did try it only yesterday.

Do you have that code to have the backgrounds change for each of the rooms, DtD?

@All
Sorry! HTML was disabled, topics that had it before will work (it will probably break when edited) @Pandaba Yeesh! You're too impatient, I have alot of stuff going on, I don't have time for changing it. You should be able to take this part of the generated code: ~DtD
