All variables in the skin_file.asp are constents so you must be using a third party skin or the file has been modified.

If you download the use the original skin_file.asp that comes with the forum inside this file you will find the following line:-

Const strBgImage = "forum_images/main_bg.gif" 'Forum background image path

Change the part marked in red to the location of the background image you wish to use.

Yes, I guess that is the problem. I'm using the Web Whiz forum that came with EZASPSITE portal. I'm sorry I didn't mention that to start with. :( Please forgive. I'll e-mail or contact the author of that program and see what gives. Thanks so much!

Thanks, but, alas... I do not see this:

in the file you will see strBgImage = ""

There is no line like that in the file.

I only see this:

Dim strBgImage 'Forum bacground image path

Is this the line I change?

All help appreciated.

in the file you will see strBgImage = ""

change it to strBgImage = "URL to image"

for example (../images/heading.gif)

Sounds good, but, "how" do you change that file and 'what' particular thing in that file do you change?

This could really be a helpful addition to the Forum Setup Menu.

I've looked at the file you mention, I 'see' this information:

'Global on Each Page
'----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Dim strBgColour 'Forum page colour
Dim strBgImage 'Forum bacground image path

But, as far as knowing how to actually 'change' or define that variable, I have no clue.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Exile

You need to edit the file includes/skin_file.asp with a text editor.]]> Wed, 05 May 2004 13:08:24 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/changing-background-default-bg-image_topic10305_post56161.html#56161 <![CDATA[Changing Background default BG Image. : Hey there, is there an easy way...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/changing-background-default-bg-image_topic10305_post56160.html#56160 Author: jeremyseda

Hey there, is there an easy way to change the default BackGround Image for WWF, than going through and updating the ASP? I can't seem to find it in the Administrative setup.
