I am working on an app using Bootstrap as the framework in Rails (bootstrap-sass). What I want to do is add a sweet background image but I can't seem to override the white background of the body no matter what I try.
Has anyone had success with this? What do I have to change or add to get this to happen?
In addition to trying other things, I have even tried wrapping all the contents in the body in a div with an id, then calling that class in the custom css.scss file where I have successfully customized other aspects of Bootstrap.
The code I added using the id:
html body #bgimage {
background-image: image-url('/images/cityscape.jpg');
}
Edit:
I just checked the errors in the development local server and I have this: ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/assets/images/cityscape.jpg"):
/Edit
Thanks!
There was a similar discusion recently, the problem was that background-image oddly does not work with bootstrap. Try:
html body #bgimage {
background: url('cityscape.jpg');
}
Notice, that asset-pipeline does its work for finding the proper location of your file, so you don't have to mention the path.
If your cityscape.png is in assets/images/ directory, please use the following:
html body #bgimage {
background-image: url(image_path('cityscape.jpg'));
}
And to use your original source, you have to remove /images/ from your image-url as:
html body #bgimage {
background-image: image-url('cityscape.jpg');
}

I'm trying to design my ionic app, and the first step for me is to add a background image. But it won't get visual.
I created a directory in my www folder named img, containing my image.
And in my homepage (home.scss) I've added this code:
page-home {
background-image: url(../img/logo.JPG);
}
This is the errormessage I'm getting:
"This inspection checks references to files and directories."
I guess "page-home" is the name of your component selector.
Instead of putting the background-image directly inside it, you can try to put it inside (if your .html has a , without code, it is hard to tell)
page-home {
ion-content {
background-image: url(../img/logo.JPG);
}
}
Note: since your file name is "logo.JPG", I am wondering: are you trying to make some kind of splashscreen? In that is so, you may prefer directly put your image in the resources folder and configure the splashscreen in your config.xml
I am running ruby 2.3.0 and rail 5.0. When trying to display an background image on a view, I use the following CSS class:
.header_img{
width:100%;
height: 400px;
background: url("../../assets/images/home/home-header.jpg");
}
The image is located in the home subfolder under the image assets folder. I have tried trying to find a solution on here but have not been able to find one that works any help would be awesome.
I am using Rubymine as my IDE and nothing seems to work.
There is no need to provide absolute path as your image is in assests so you can directly do something like this
background-image: url('image.png')
You should have a look at the asset-pipe line, see "2.3.1 CSS and ERB":
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html
The asset pipeline automatically evaluates ERB. This means if you add
an erb extension to a CSS asset (for example, application.css.erb),
then helpers like asset_path are available in your CSS rules:
.class { background-image: url(<%= asset_path 'image.png' %>) }
You can use image_url helper without renaming the file to .erb. You just need to add extension .scss. For eg. main.css.scss and add the line like this:
background-image: image_url('/home/image.png')
I have a similar folder structure to you, and I have used a background image successfully.
Have a try of this code instead and see if it works
background-image:url('/assets/home/home-header.jpg');
Also just for extra, if you want a fixed, non repeating background image that covers the whole page add this css underneath ^that line
background-size:cover;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
height:100%;
I am using this approach. Its the best way to include the compiled assets.
.class {
background-image: asset-url('image.png');
}
I think THIS is what he/she was looking for:
<div class="main-banner" style="background-image: url(' <%= polymorphic_url(:image) %>');">
(or whatever your active storage item was called.)
I have a welcome controller, and a welcome.css.scss layout. In the welcome layout there is this code:
body {
background-image: url("/assets/images/sampleimage.jpeg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
In assets/images I have a picture called sampleimage.jpeg which I want to be my background for the welcome index view.
I have all of the above, but I get neither a a background image or an error message. Thanks for your help.
Since you're using SCSS, let me give you some ideas...
--
Asset Paths
Firstly, what you need is asset_path helpers, allowing Rails to call the assets regardless of whether they are in the standard "asset pipeline", or in the precompiled "static" assets area
The immediate issue you have is that you're calling a naked url on your background-image property. This will not call the file you need, as since the path is relative, it cannot be called (try accessing /assets from your browser)
The way to do this is as follows:
#app/assets/stylesheets/welcome.css.scss
body {
background: {
image: asset-url("sampleimage.jpeg");
repeat: no-repeat;
}
}
The asset-url path is possible because of how the SCSS/SASS elements of the Rails asset pipeline preprocesses your asset request
I am using basic template for mvc 4.I want set background image for my div element.My stylesheet located in "~/Content" directory.Here is part of my .cshtml file where I am trying direct specify image without css:
<div id="add_image" class ="image_bar" style="background-image:url(add.jpg)" ></div>
Here is my css:
#add_image {
background-image:url('~/add.jpg');
}
#add_image:hover {
background-image:url('~/addhover.jpg');
}
.image_bar {
width:40px;
height:40px;
}
Neither css neither direct "styling" not works - whats wrong? Thanks.
In your second example, you are using the '~/' moniker, this is a .NET thing that instructs the code to look at the root of the site. Since the .NET engine does not process your CSS file, the '~/' has no effect and probably makes a really ugly HTTP request to the server.
Since you have your CSS in your Content directory, one solution is to create a sub directory in your Content called 'images'. Store any and all of your CSS images in that folder. Then, from your CSS file, you can call and reference images in that file as such:
#add_image {
background-image:url('images/add.jpg');
}
#add_image:hover {
background-image:url('images/addhover.jpg');
}
This is assuming a directory structure like so:
Content
images
add.jpg
addhover.jpg
site.css
Though I am not a designer, I believe that CSS will look for images relative to the location of the CSS file and not the root of the web application like HTML. Additionally, if you stored images in the same directory as your CSS file, then you should be able to call those images without the 'images/' prefix. However, most like to keep resources separate.
Instead of
background-image:url('~/add.jpg');
try using
background-image:url('./add.jpg');
try with
background-image:url('../add.jpg');
try this
**example -
background-image:url('../img/home_bg.jpg');**
background-image:url('../**ImageFolderName**/add.jpg');
I am having trouble displaying an background image in my ASP.NET MVC 2 application. Currently, In ~/Views/Shared/Site.master, I set my link to the style sheet to:
<link href="<%:#Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css") %>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The image I plan to display is in my ~/Content/Images/Designs.png
Here is what I have tried
body
{
background-image: url(~/Content/Images/designs.png);
background-repeat: repeat;
font-size: .75em;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #696969;
}
Other Tries Included:
background-image: url(./Content/Images/designs.png);
background-image: url(Content/Images/designs.png);
background-image: url(Images/designs.png);
none of the above tries worked. What can I do?
The url inside a CSS file is relative to the location of the CSS file.
So if we suppose that you have ~/content/foo.css and you want to include ~/images/foo.png here's how to reference it inside foo.css:
background-image: url(../images/foo.png);
Don't use any ~ inside a CSS file. It has no meaning.
So in your case if the CSS file is ~/Content/Site.css and you want to reference ~/Content/Images/Designs.png the correct syntax is:
background-image: url(images/designs.png);
If this doesn't work for you there might be different causes:
The image doesn't exist at that location
You didn't specify width and height to the containing element so you don't see the image
What I would recommend you is to use FireBug and inspect the corresopnding DOM element to see exactly what styles and images are applied to it.
This is what I had to do:
background-image: url('#Url.Content("~/images/foo.png")')
If you use bundles and have the directory structure like :
-Content
--lightbox
---css
----lightbox.css
---imgages
----close.png
then you can make a separate bundle for content in subdirectories by defining the bundle in that subdirectory:
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/lightbox/css/bundle")
.Include("~/Content/lightbox/css/lightbox.css"));
background-image: url(../images/close.png);
In my case I had to back out to the root and include a path to the Content directory.
So even if my directory structure looked like:
-Content
--css
---site.css
--img
---someImg.png
I couldn't do
background-image: url(../img/someImg.png)
I had to do:
background-image: url(../../Content/img/someImg.png)
This worked locally in debug mode (no minification) and deployed to AWS (with minification) correctly.
Also, don't forget if you're using Bundle minification and you use #import in your CSS to still include the asset in the bundle. For example:
main.css
#import url(../../Content/css/some.css)
Be sure to include some.css in your bundle:
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/global").Include(
"~/Content/css/some.css",
"~/Content/css/main.css"));
No need to do this if you're using LESS or SASS bundlers as the handler knows how to find the files and include them (that's the point!); however, if you're doing it as a straight CSS import, the bundler won't know to include it when it minifies.
Hope this helps someone!
It could be a caching issue in the browser; that is, the browser may cache an older version if the css file. Clear the cache and try again.
use below code
.background
{
background-image: url("../Images/backimage.jpg");
background-position: inherit;
}
Keep it simple stupid.
At all times, try to stick to relative paths with css url attribute.
/* Assuming your Site.css is in the folder where "Images" folder is located */
/* Your Css Image url */
background-image: url("Images/YourImageUrl");
The problem with wrong urls is that css can't locate that image as it doesn't understand the convention used on that url, hence the image is not displayed. So to keep it simple use the reigning relative path approach, and you'll never have problems.
For anyone experiencing a similar problem with a razor page.
You can use your regular CSS form, you just need to play with your folder levels.
This avoids having to do CSS inline.
Using normal HTML/CSS
body{background-image: url("images/sparks.jpg");}
My folder structure for razor
body{background-image: url("../../images/sparks.jpg");}
This Works For Me
<div style="background-image:url('/images/home.jpg')">
AS i have images folder direct in my project so
i used in url
/images/image.jpg
like
<div style="background-image:url('/images/image.jpg')">
I would recommend to just drag and drop the image. Visual Studio will generate the code automatically for you,
body
{
background-image: url('../../Content/Images/dark123.jpg');
}
This URL code is auto-generated by Visual Studio you don't need to write the code manually.
Hope this will fix your issue.
Cheers!
Had the same problem. Solved by adding double quotes in the URL specification:
No:
background-image: url(../images/ic_Chevron_bottom.svg);
Yes:
background-image: url("../images/ic_Chevron_bottom.svg");
