Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm building a site for a friend, www.youngcardriver.com

 

I've uploaded a background image to the main page but I cant get it to show in any browser. Weirdly, it does show when viewing on an iphone/ipad. Cant see what I'm missing....can anyone make a suggestion for me?

 

Thanks V Much

Hi,

 

The reason why your background isn't showing is that you're using the SuperSized Background option but you have not configured your Carousel correctly. When the Carousel section isn't configured correctly, it throws out a js error which prevents the supersized background image from loading.

 

To resolve the issue, configure your Carousel section correctly or remove it from your template, the background will appear.

Thats great Rob, removed the carousel and that did the trick.

 

Can I ask where/what the supersized background option is? The image I have is around 1300px wide, but only shows in the centre of the page, however, if I use an old image which is 1200px wide, it fills the screen. I cant see an obvious difference betwen the images apart form the size, but would have expected the larger of the 2 images to adjust smaller, rather than wanted it to be bigger!

 

Ta...I'm a novice...but slowly getting there.

The Background supersize option sets the background image to fit your browsers window. You can disable this option by going to PageLines > Site Options > Color Control.

      Hi I can't seem to get the background image for the Tour Guide section to be clear. It is always blurry. Any idea why that is? I am using a high res image. Is it a sizing issue? Thanks

      Hello,
      sorry. i got a problem on my site i can not fix myself, would be nice somebody can help.
      I use:
      - Platform 5 (latest) Pro
      - Pagelines Framework (latest for Platform 5)
      - keycdn (cdn enabler, cache enabler und optimus WebP)
      - my site:  example
      Problem:
      The background image i use in the Impulse Section is not beeing replaced automatically if i specify a CDN Url. I need to put in the cdn url to the image manually. Why?
      If you look in the button of the the side you see post grid section, where i have no problems. You also see there WebP Images working.
      Now i can not really use the direct cdn url for the impulse background image, cause i want to benefit there from WebP Image also in the background as it works in post grid section.
      How does it works with Impulse? The webP image for the background is ready to use.
      Thank you.

      Hi,
      I am using the Canvas Area section at the top of my site. I have a video playing in the background, which works really well on desktop. But on mobile video doesn't play without user interaction, so I have a static image in place as an alternate image. However when viewed on a mobile device there is now a play button over the static image that does nothing. This didn't use to happen so I imaging it is due to an upgrade. But this is really bad UX. Is there a way to remove it?
      Here is the site:

      Hi
      Have a couple clients who are having background image issues. This should be a basic question so hope fix is easy. How do you get a specified image to auto resize so it fills the browser screen? Client has portrait-format image that's 1000x1000 and the left and right are displaying the background color (white) on my 1440 wide Macbook pro, as it is on client's computer. She has tried clicking "Fit image to page" and repeat background - neither is getting what she expects.  I suggested trying a landscape-format image.
      But the larger question is this - how does one plan a proper background image that will fill the whole screen - left to right - in the browser image and have it scale appropriately?  Should one always have landscape background images? What about scrolling vs not scrolling BG? How plan your BG image so it will fill the screen on laptops, ipads, iphones...  both in landscape and portrait format? Is it true that you can't do it? that either the left-right or top-bottom are cut off depending on the device and orientation?

      Mobile layout much better in 5.0.3. There appears to be an issue that it 'super-sizes' the background image?
