 Hi guy's can someone please help me with this.
All I would like to do is add a background picture to a html block say 500pixels x 500 pixels and be able to add a simple message that scrolls from left to right over the backdrop. Trying all sorts of things with html gathered from a google search but I keep smacking my head against the wall. Dolphin just rejects everything or strips everything and Im just left with static text aaaarghhh! Please help Best wishes Alan |
like in this forum when you reply you can see a little tiny "HTML" above where you type Dolphin uses a wysiwyg editor called tinymce It has HTML use that to add your html code and it will work just fine. I have video tutorials to help you mrpowless.com |
Thanks mrpowless for your reply - Im having no end of trouble with tinymce just doing the seemingly simplest tasks. HL tried to help me in my thread before my plea here - In the end we both thought it was a bad almost u/s editor. It has so much potential but it's a pig!
I have managed to use it successfully to add an ordinary picture but when you try to add a background pic it screws it up.
Here's a link to that thread: http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/#topic/Tinymce-issues-2011-02-02.htm
Once again thanks for the reply. Best wishes Alan

Why doesn't this html code work? <body background="http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9743/lovingcoupledrawingdark.jpg">
According to a simple html tutorial this should work fine, but the html block doesn't saves it as blank?
Is dolphin html not a true html? Is it more of a hybrid? Any help appreciated |
I don't believe that out of all the talented programmers/developers for dolphin nobody can help me put a background picture into a html block? |
I don't believe that out of all the talented programmers/developers for dolphin nobody can help me put a background picture into a html block? odd indeed, i suppose i have never tried to add a background image to a block. i have tested this to some degree, and there is a problem. the <body background=> is stripped from the editor when using the tinymce editor from the builders. i then took it to the next level, and went straight to the database, placed the source in the blocks record, and the irony is that its not being read at all. just being ignored.
what i would think would need to be done on this, would be to create a custom design box, with all of the elements, and then just opt for that design box, sure its not the answer you were looking for, but obviously we are not allowed to use the <body> tag for some reason on this editor?

MrP. i tried it on dolphin using the tinymce, and the source was stripped. i then injected into the database, and its not being parsed at all. just ignored.

I have been haveing the same problem the only way to do it is to add a table and then add picture as background like this ...
<div>
please note you can give the image a 100% width but you must for some strange reason give the height in pixels
hope this was helpfull

good job if you got that to work. however, i think the problem is still relevant that the html tag is being stripped from the tinymce editor. then even when you place it directly in the database, its not being parsed. so that is a bug, would be my suggestion.

Thanks guy's for taking the time to look into this problem for me and for everybody really if it helps the community with bug zapping thats great - I thought I was going nuts when I couldn't get this seemingly simplest of jobs done. |
