CSS background-image not showing
plcoelho - June 28, 2009 - 20:35
I created a Zen subtheme and an images folder, under the sub-theme folder.
In my .css, I use background-image: url(images/xxxx.gif); but the images never show.
I tried to put the graphics in the sub-theme folder, or even in the Zen theme, but it doesn't work.
Is there a place where we define the starting path? Is it the sub-theme path? Did I miss any step while creating the sub-theme (I followed the Zen documentation)?
There must be a simple mistake...

Your syntax above is incorrect.
Try:
background: url('images/someimage.jpg');note: the non use of background-image and the path between single quotes.
I think the problem is not CSS
Thank you for your tip.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work in my case.
I tried in another Drupal installation, and it worked fine (as well as the background-image version - maybe it's new and, since I'm a newbie, I saw some recent CSS docs).
The problem is that the theme doesn't recognize any file or folder that I add to it's directory.
I checked the filesystem permissions, and it seems to be ok...
Maybe the theme registry is not updating well...

when altering css, make sure you do not have css aggregation turned on in administer -> performance
make sure you cache is clear in administer -> performance
make sure you browser cache is cleared
Nothing happened
Tried all the advices, installed Zen and a new subtheme, but it seems that there's an issue with some path variable, because I can't point to a file inside CSS...

Fixed!
It was a filesystem permissions issue.
Thank's anyway for your help, because you teached me something :)
