Hello, I'm making a theme for a forum but I experience some issues. I want to create an image before the body and behind the wrapper. I don't easily add it to the background of the body (in .css) because I want to add some code to this image later on, and that wouldn't be possible with that. So I decided to add the image to the index.template. I started with this code:
I added it at various places to see what it did but it only messed with the wrapper and directly below the <body> code didn't work. So I tried to add a function.
The sad thing is that I have the idea that the function doesn't even load. It doesn't appear even in the source code of the website, maybe it needs to be loaded with another code, but I have no idea which.
My question: do I need to load the function photo_image somewhere? And if true, where? Else I would like to know how to put an image behind the wrapper and before the body.
Thanks a lot!

For me its not clear what you want to do ..
Why you need to add that function. ..
From what I concluded, you need a background image in whole body but want to change it or something, then you can do something like :
Where $settings['your_photo'] can be created by adding array variable in Settings.template.php (found inside your theme folder) , there are many similar variable there, so you can understand it. and also remember to give full path to image ie. abc.png

For me its not clear what you want to do ..
Bottom layer the body, middle layer is the image and the top layer the wrapper/forum. I do this in a function cause I tried to add the <div> to 'template_body_above' and that places the image in the wrapper. I also tried to add id directly under the <body> code, but that didn't even show so I try to create a whole new function.

Generally smf goes like this :
<body>
<wrapper>
<content sections and stuff>
</wrapper>
</body>
Now you want another layer between body and wrapper..
Make it :
<body>
<div id="new_wrapper">
<wrapper>
<content sections and stuff>
</wrapper>
[/b]</div>[/b]
</body>
And add any image as background in it.. Just to add here, your index.template.php contains everything in order, just <content sections and stuff> is loaded from other templates.. so you most of the control ie. header footer etc. from this file only.
<body>
<wrapper>

I got it working. I edited the 'margin-top: xxx px;' to a negative number. Thanks for your help Ricky. ;)
