How do I center my image in the advanced editor? Tried <p style="text-align:center">[myimage]</p> but upon "save changes" it just removes it and makes it a basic paragraph.

You are trying too hard.

[center]
[/center]

Replace the brackets with <>

Lol

I tried that and I can't get it to work.

 

$PAGETEXT := "<center>

     body { background: url('https://chooseyourstory.com/resources/images/user/58745?58745');

}

</center>" + $PAGETEXT

I want to make my background one picture, but it keeps doing more than one. Or could you tell me how to make the background one color?

$PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "<center>  body {Background: url('https://chooseyourstory.com/resources/images/user/58745?58745')}</center>"

^Basically, you got the order backwards.

I copy and paste the code you send, but unfortunately, it did not work. The background was still white and part of the code ended up in the text where the story went.

You need to turn off the RTE to use HTML I'm pretty sure.

This might be a stupid question, but how do you do that? :-}

Go into your profile and uncheck the box for the Rich Text Editor.

Still didn't change anything

The above code has Unicode characters in it, so it won't work with copy/paste. You will need to type it out yourself by hand or change the greater and less than signs back manually if you paste it in.

Also, I didn't really bug-check the code, just put it up there to show the proper order to use with $PAGETEXT...

still multiply images of the same image instead of one.

If they're setting a tiny image as the background (like one that was uploaded to the site instead of an actual image host) would this make it show up tiled by default?

Speaking purely in terms of the CSS background property…

If you want your background not to repeat, add "no-repeat".

If you want your background be positioned in the center, add "center center".

If you want your background to scale to fit the available area, add "/ contain"; if you want it to scale to fill the area, add "/ cover". (If you're setting a scale, you have to include a position, followed by a slash, followed by the scale.)
