Is there a way to put a background image on the homepage only?

Try:


1. Place your homebackgroundimage.gif in /images folder.

2. In your root directory, where main.css is, create a file called homebackgroundimage.css

place

Content visible to registered users only.

3. In header.tpl before </head> place

Content visible to registered users only.

See how that goes.

Keyword search 'css backgrounds', 'css background image' etc

I gave it a whirl and I didn't get the exact effect I was hoping. The image went tile on me when all i want it to be is on the center.

Thanks very much though.

Content visible to registered users only.

That's why I gave you links to 'Customize image presentation' at the bottom in my last post. In the first link see: 'How to place the background image' and play about with your homebackgroundimage.css :)

I think I got it.... thanks

Thank you very much again!!!


homebackgroundimage.css:

body {
background-image:
url('images/image.gif');
background-repeat:
no-repeat;
background-position:
center;
}

then I inserted in main .tpl as you mentioned on top.
