Answered TV in css

    I have a homepage image which I would like a user to be able to change but it is set as a background image in the css
    background-image: url("../../images/banner.jpg");


    I have created a TV called homepageImage set it to the home template. I have then changed the code to
    background-image: url("../../images/[[*homepageImage]]");


    I have tried setting this in the external css and also using a css as a resource but everytime the image doesn't show. You don't seem to be able to give the TV access to a css resource.

    Is is possible to be able to do this? If so, where am I going wrong?

      the CSS-code has to be in the template, if you want MODX-tags to be parsed.
      If you have it in a CSS-file, which is loaded by the browser, no MODX-tags can be parsed, of course.

        Yes, I do this all the time for exactly the same thing... Image TVs for background -image css....as Bruno says...just add the few required styles to the <head> of the template being used for those pages.

          Thanks, adding to the <head> has fixed this for me.
