Editable homepage background image

Semen Shekhovtsov asked on February 5, 2016 17:30

Hello,

Can someone please suggest a way to make homepage background image editable by user, so user can choose from image gallery or alternatively upload a new image. Ideally, user should be able to do it when editing a page. Thanks.

You can add a field to whatever document type that you are using and have it as a url selector which points to an image and then include some code such as this:

<style>
    .top-title-img{
      background: url('http://mydomain.com<%= CMS.MacroEngine.MacroContext.CurrentResolver.ResolveMacros("{%CurrentDocument.GetValue(\"myfieldname\")|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}") %>') scroll center no-repeat;
      }
  </style>

Do you want each user to have their own background image, or an editor to change the site's background image?

I'd suggest creating a new page type and allowing them to add a new one under the /Home directory. Then using a repeater do display them. In your page type, you can define a title or alternate text field and a text field which is a URL selector to select a file from the media library.
