SVG background image
For some reason I can't get Kentico to recognize an .svg file when trying to link to it in my css. My work around was to basically just create a png of the same thing, but it's really not ideal. I'm just wondering why I can't get it to recognize an .svg.

I've read on stack overflow that it can be a server issue where it doesn't recognize the mime type, but I'm not sure how to fix that or if it is even the cause of the disconnect.

RE:SVG background image
Hello,

Yes, you need to add a mime type for a svg file into your IIS. For example in IIS 7 is it:

1) Choose your web site
2) Open MIME Types
3) Click on the Add... button
4) Fill following properties:

File name extension: .svg
MIME type: image/svg+xml

Best regards,
Jan Hermann
