Background image for one page only

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I've learned how to put a background image to the page (not to a block) but is there a way to apply it to only certain pages rather than site wide? Thanks

Sure, either use two templates and assign each template it's own background via css,
OR
create a page attribute that defines which background to use. This option will give you endless possibilities and I would suggest you define a standard background unless a new one is defined.

Thank you for responding. I'm very glad to hear that this can be done, but being a newbie at this, I don't know what file the css should go in or how to creatre a page attribute. Can you walk me thru the process?

Hi Wendy,

A great place to start would be the documentation section, which explains quite a lot about theme development.

Here's a great video walk-through of the process of creating a C5 theme from a standard html site template (be sure to check out all the notes and tips added below it):

And here's a helpful intro to theme development in the documentation section of the site:
