Hi,

I'm using Joomla 3.2.

I see that I can set a specific background image in the template options but I would like to have various (specific) backgrounds depending on where you are on the site.

In some of my other web sites I have achieved this by adding a class (e.g. myClassName) on the Menu Item > Page Display > Page class and adding the background image via CSS like this:

body.myClassName {background: url(../images/backgrounds/myBackgroundImage.jpg) top center no-repeat background-size: 100% }

However if I do this in the Oasis template the Page Class is not added to body but to a div inside component_wrap_inner.

Is it possible to work around this and be able to specify classes on the body element? Or any other way?

Thanks.

Hello,

The only way you could change backgrounds on specific pages is to make multiple template styles in the template manager and then assign specific styles to individual pages.

Thank you for the quick feedback on this.
At least there's an alternative then even if it's a bit fiddly.

Mike makes sense 99% .9 of the time,listen to Mikey. but did you say , "specific background image" , you mean change image, well, that is not changing the template in Oasis, the front page "IMAGE" , the big one, , that Image?Huh Why not just set - copy your module to the page you want, and make a "new image" that way, but if you say you want a different "template" look, Yea, mike has it, : Question: why in the world are you trying to re-code the template script to get a change of an "Image"Huh?

Hello,

They are not trying to alter the template, the suggestion I posted above will work.

I think you got me wrong. The template allows the use of a background image but it has to be the same image on all pages and I wanted to have different background images depending on which page you are on. I have done this in other templates via CSS (without re-writing any template code) and was looking for a similar solution.

Hello ,

The only way to accomplish this would be as Mikek said. Adding additional Template Styles and assigning them to specific Menu Items will allow you to add alternate styling for specific pages.
