Adding background image to a module or block...

Is there a way to add a background image to a module or block? If so, how do you do it? I've been able to modify the theme.php file to put a bg image in a background, but I've been using dreamweaver to make some HTML pages for new modules I build. I add the BG image in dreamweaver, but it doesn't come up in the site when I upload it. do I have to modify some story section of the theme [php? Thanks in advance Smile

Here would be one way.

Code:

<?php

/************************************************************************/

/* http://phpnuke.org */

/* the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License. */
/************************************************************************/

if (eregi("block-bgtest.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

$bg_string = <<<_BG_
<div style="background-image:url(images/spectrum2.png);">
Hello World!
</div>
_BG_;

$content = $bg_string;
?>

Here would be another.

Code:

<?php

/************************************************************************/

/************************************************************************/

if (eregi("block-bgtest.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

$content = "<div style=\"background-image:url(images/spectrum2.png);\">";
$content .= "Hello World!";
$content .= "</div>";
?>

Raven,

I see what you are saying - but I'm not sure I understand.
This code is at the end of my theme.php file (Using Mtechnik Ultra theme)
I've identified the two lines I want to add a image instead of a color to.

Code:

/************************************************************/
/* Function themesidebox() */
/************************************************************/

function themesidebox($title, $content) {

echo "<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" bgcolor=\"\" width=\"165\"><tr><td>"
."<table width=\"100%\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">"
."<tr><td><img src=\"themes/Mtechnik_Ultra/images/bb.png\" width=\"100%\" height=\"15\"></td></tr></table>\n"
."<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"1\" bgcolor=\"\" width=\"100%\">\n"
/*This changes the color in the top of the side block*/
."<tr><td bgcolor=\"#fffcd9\" align=\"center\" bordercolor=\"#000000\"> <font class=\"content\"><b>$title</b></font></td></tr>\n"
/*This line changes the blocks background color*/
."<tr><td bgcolor=\"#CCDCFD\" bordercolor=\"#000000\"><font class=\"content\">$content</font></td></tr>\n"
."</table></td></tr></table><br><br>\n";

}

Thanks as usual, Tony DG

Because they are using the content class, you can try to override it with an in-line style syntax.

Something like

<td bgcolor=\"#CCDCFD\" bordercolor=\"#000000\"><font class=\"content\" style=\"background-image:url(images/spectrum2.png);\">

If that doesn't work, try this
<td bgcolor=\"#CCDCFD\" bordercolor=\"#000000\"><font class=\"content\"><span style=\"background-image:url(images/spectrum2.png);\">$content</span>
