Add a background image to the editor

The following trick will allow you to add a background image to the text editor of your Forumotion forum, just like on the support forum :

To reproduce this trick, no conditions should be met. This applies to all forum versions.

Modifying the stylesheet

Go to Administration Panel ► Display ► Colors ► CSS stylesheet. It's here that the change will happen.

Add the following code and click Add a background image to the editor Submit10

Add a background image to the editor Submit10

:

Code:: .sceditor-container iframe, .sceditor-container textarea { background:url(https://2img.net/i/fa/empty.gif) !important; }

Modifying the code :
background defines the background of an element.
url(https://2img.net/i/fa/empty.gif) : replace https://2img.net/i/fa/empty.gif with the URL of the image that you want to appear in the editor.

You can even choose to customize this background :

background-repeat :
--- repeat-y : repeats the background on the vertical axis
--- repeat-x : repeats the background on the horizontal axis
--- no-repeat : prevents the background from repeating

background-position :
--- top / middle / bottom : aligns the image on the vertical axis
--- left / center / right : aligns the image on the horizontal axis
