different background images on infobox

[sharma.atul85]

hi all ..

am working on a project where I need to add different background to the heading to infoboxes .

can u please suggest how to do that ??

I have an idea that it has something to do with boxes.php class in classes folder but its not going the right way..

You are right -> if you look in includes/classes/boxes.php

 

Here is what I did for example...

 

extend class box

  class infoBoxDiffBgrnd extends tableBox {
function infoBox($contents) {
  $info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $this->infoBoxContents($contents));
  $this->table_cellpadding = '1';
  $this->table_parameters = 'class="infoBoxDiffBgrnd"';
  $this->tableBox($info_box_contents, true);
}

 

Use the class="infoBoxDiffBgrnd" to set your background.

 

Now you could add a variable to function infoBox($contents, $diff_bgrnd) { .......

 

 

and change $this->table_parameters = 'class="' . $diff_bgrnd . '"';

 

now would be more flexible and could be controlled from css.

 

Good Luck

If you want all the boxes to change, you could simply change images/infobox/corner_left.gif, images/infobox/corner_right_left.gif, images/infobox/corner_right_left.gif, and the styles for CSS class infoBoxHeading. If you need help with CSS, you might want to try a CSS tutorial. I like the one on W3 Schools, but there are a number of them on the net.

 

If you are trying something and it's not working, you will usually get better help if you explain what you tried, what you expected to happen, and what actually did happen (preferably with a site link). It's entirely possible to change the headings without touching the boxes class. If you just want them to be a different color or to use an image in the background, you could do that entirely by changing the CSS styles and the three images I mentioned.
