I use a custom background image in the page templates, since upgrading to BL2 this image no longer shows on the site. I can set a background pattern which shows but this is not what I require.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Paul,
Can you share a link? Also, how are you going about with implementing the background image (PHPlugins, Backlight's settings, etc.)?

Hi Mathew,
I’m using the Background image settings in BL2, with a previously uploaded image through backlight.

Hm. The image reference is in the stylesheet, but I'm not sure the URL is resolving correctly. Rather than the image, I get Backlight's login screen when I try to view it. Probably a bug in the pathing; we'll look into it on our side.
.background__image
{
background-attachment: scroll;
background-image: url('http://truecolourphotography.com/backlight/designer/page/image/2&65');
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-size: auto;
}Offline
Hi Paul, can you Email me the URL to your Backlight admin and an admin login so that I can look into this?

Ben - I have the same problem. I've gotten my site back most of the way on formatting, but for some reason the background image fails to show up. I too use the LR2 setting using an image previously downloaded to the system. Looking forward to what you figure out on this one. I also noted the favicon I had created and attached to my site under LR1 no longer works. Thanks.

The problem is that the URL appends &templateVersion. This worked fine with the BL1 Image URL Format, which became something like:
http://truecolourphotography.co.uk/back … a=image&65
With the new clean URLs, that becomes http://truecolourphotography.co.uk/back … e/image&65
We need to fix this so that it adds a ? or & before the template version, depending on whether the format is clean or parameterised. The latter can still happen for sites where .htaccess URL rewriting isn't operating.

so is this something we can do locally or should we just wait for the next update?

This is something we'll fix in the next half to one day. I'll update this thread when it's in.

I've put in a fix. Please update the pangolin-page version within Backlight Modules.
This is best done by:
1. Clicking the Update All Modules ** at the bottom of the Backlight Modules ** page
2. Visiting Designer > Templates > Clear Template Cache
Can you please report back on whether this resolves the issues for you? There are other modules that also need a similar fix that I have held off on due to the need for further testing.

Ben - that fixed the issue - thanks! Also, I absolutely love the new update function on LR2 - what a treat to no longer need to use ftp for it. Thankyou to you and Matt for taking care of that.

Hi Terry, thanks for confirming! The favicon should also be working.

Thanks for that, problem solved.

I have a similar problem. I downloaded and installed Backlight 2 yesterday. It must be the latest version, I guess.
Anyway, trying to place an image on the HOME page. So I go to Backlight/Designer/Templates/TNM_pages/Design/Background/Background Image and indicated a file name that's already uploaded within Backlight 2.
But no image.

Have you tried the usual, like clearing template cache?

Yes, no image. But rather than have an image as a background (where it would show throughout the site) I would rather have an image on the HOME page only.
I remember putting an image in the Page/Page Copy section, but I don't remember how to write the instruction.
So, I created an "img" folder in Backlight and in the Page Content section I put
<img src=”pideja.ca/tnm/backlight/img/construction.jpg” width=”300″ class=”aligncenter“ alt="site en construction">Alas, still no image.

The source is going to be wrong. You need a forward slash in the front: /
(Or use the full url)
/pideja.ca/tnm/backlight/img/construction.jpg
or
http://pideja.ca/tnm/backlight/img/construction.jpg
also, check your quote marks, they seemed to be mixed curly and straight. The should be straight: "

You can have an image on the home page any number of ways.
One would be to have a separate template for the home page and assign the background image to it.
Another would be through custom css and use the slug class to apply the css only to pages with the body class of ”slug-home” (Or whatever the slug is - look at the page source code for the <body> tag and see what classes are assigned to it.)

Thanks, Rod. The script worked. For now, it's OK.
