Adding Background Image Using CSS - html

In my django project I try to add background image to html template. But it does not work my code is like this
background-image: url("/img/bg.jpg");
error
GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/img/bg.jpg 404 (Not Found)
Please help me to fix this
I try it different ways...
Project Structure

Try this:
background-image: url("./img/bg.jpg");
Also can you post an image showing structure of your project?

replace your bakground- image with this code
background-image: url("{% static "/img/bg.jpg" %}");
after that add this in your setting file
STATICFILES_DIRS = [ os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates').replace('\\','/'), ] follow this answer in stackoverflow [stackoverflow link][1] hope it works.

Subfolder as root element in CSS

I have web application located at http://{some-domain}.com/SubFolder - so this address can be considered as root folder.
But when I am trying to set image URL in CSS
background-image: url( "img/logo.png" );
and access application http://{some-domain}.com/SubFolder then image address is interpreted as
http://{some-domain}.com/img/logo.png
instead of
http://{some-domain}.com/SubFolder/img/logo.png
The "SubFolder" part of path is skipped, so image could not be found. Are there any way to resolve this issue without using JS or server-side logic? I am unable to specify image URL as
background-image: url( "SubFolder/img/logo.png" );
because this "SubFolder" part is about to change and should not be hardcoded.
You can try this
background-image: url( "../img/logo.png" );

cant add background image in rails

I've been trying to add a background image to my rails app but no matter what I try I cant get it to work, this is basic stuff and I don't know what's going wrong. I had it working yesterday but my computer crashed and I hadn't saved my view file after adding the background image.
I've tried:
<body background="bg.png">
as well as:
background-image: url(/assets/bg.png);
and even:
body {
background: url(bg.png);
}
but nothing will work, what am I doing wrong?
To serve the image from asset-pipeline do the following:
body {
background: image-url(bg.png);
}
To use it inline under .erb files:
<div style="background-image: url('<%= asset_path('some_image.jpg') %>') ">
What you are trying to do would work if the image was placed under public folder.
Similar questions: How to set a background image in rails from css?
If the image is in public directory then
background-image: url('/bg.jpg')
If image in app/assets/images/bg.jpg
background-image: url('/assets/bg.jpg')
Also, set the below mentioned setting in developement.rb(or other environment on which you are running the code)
config.serve_static_assets = false
config.assets.compress = true
config.assets.compile = false

how to add background in Django2.0 using html or css

I want to add an image inside my django homepage, but I always cannot get the correct location of the image file I want(yellow high light)
The picture below are the thing I type so far:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/ecyQu.png
also in the same file
{% load static %}
body {
background-image: url('{% static "/bitcoin.jpg" %}');
}
Do I need static whenever I want to insert image in Django2.0? also,
I see some people open separate static file and some ppl put image inside the templete. I am confused where I should put? How can put the background image inside the html??
thank you so your answering!!!!
update ** this is what I have so far
enter image description here
updat2 ** the only refer to admin file only,
enter image description here
You can use inline CSS just for that case. You already have a .wrapper element, so if you want to put a static served image you'd do something like this:
<div class="wrapper" style="background-image: url('{% static 'default_page/bitcoin.jpg' %}');">
Your content here
</div>
If you want to use in your CSS files, just use the absolute path according to your static configuration. If you serve your static files using /static (that means, the path /static/default_page/bitcoin.jpg is correct and shows you the desired image), you can just put into the CSS something like:
body {
background-image: url('/static/default_page/bitcoin.jpg');
}
Hope that works!
EDIT:
As Thomas said, you've placed the image in the wrong folder (inside templates instead of on your static files folder). Refer to this to configure your project the right way.
You've placed your bitcoin.jpg in the same folder as your templates. Django serves all static file, such as pictures, from the static directory. Only templates go in the template directory. Create a directory called static inside your hompage app, create a directory inside that called default_page, and place your background image there. Restart the dev server, and your image should appear.

Laravel: Background image will not appear

Right, so I'm trying to add a background image to my website. However, The image just won't appear. The path is correct but it just comes up blank when I load the page. Do you have to do something special to the path in Laravel for it to work? I am also using a master blade file which all other views extend, I'm not sure if this affects it.
Here is my CSS:
html {
background: url("/storage/background/background_1.jpg");
}
You are not able to find the image because /storage is not accessible from the server. How to fix it is to make a symlink via the artisan command:
php artisan storage:link
Or you could ofcourse store your image in public/img/yourimage.png and call it like this:
html {
background-image: url("/img/yourimage.png");
}
Here is the working code:
style=" background:url('<?php echo "/yourFolderOfImage/$item->item_img1" ?> ')"
try adding the style of the background image on the head section of the page. works for me.

ERB file raising 404 when trying to find locally held background image

I am trying to change the background for my play.erb page but I'm struggling to get the image (that is held locally) to show. The page works when using a placeholder image provided online. The error message I am getting is this.
127.0.0.1 - - [06/Mar/2018:21:55:49 +0000] "GET /images/map.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 515 0.0137
As I understand the 404 reflects the fact that the image can't be found.
I have looked at other SO responses and have tried moving the jpg into the same directory, adding and removing quotation marks and adding the 'public' and 'image' directories, all to no avail.
Can anyone see where I am going wrong? I have added the code and my directory structure below.
Thanks for your time.
#play.erb
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
body, html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.bg {
/* The image used */
background-image: url("/public/images/map.jpg");
/* Full height */
height: 100%;
/* Center and scale the image nicely */
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="bg"></div>
</body>
</html>
File structure
Root Directory
lib (dir)
lib(dir)
my_app.rb, views(dir)
views (dir)
index.erb, play.erb, public(dir)
public(dir)
images(dir)
images(dir)
map.jpg
As per http://sinatrarb.com/intro.html there were two key issues with my file structure and code.
1.) Static files are served from the ./public directory.
I adjusted my file structure to this:
Root Directory
lib (dir), public(dir)
lib(dir)
my_app.rb, views(dir)
views(dir)
index.erb, play.erb, public(dir)
Public(dir) still holds the images(dir) and images(dir) still holds map.jpg.
2.) Note that the public directory name is not included in the URL.
I also adjusted the URL to this:
background-image: url("/images/map.jpg");
This solved the problem.
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see the Sinatra tag on you post... I will leave this only for information, but sorry there I can't help you...
Only for rails:
The problem on your code is that asset-pipeline create a fingerprint after the file name to inform the browser when you update somenthing, you can't have access of folders inside the public folder (You can confirm trying to access the path on the browser: localhost/images/somenthing.*), only the root of it...
You can use the AssetsHelper for do the job for you!
<style>
...
.bg {
/* The image used */
background-image: url(<%= image_path('map.jpg');
...
</style>
If you try to do this on a *.css or *.scss file, rails will give you a error.
The solution for this case is:
*.css - *.scss
.bg {
/* The image used */
background-image: url(asset_path('map.jpg'));
Hope this answers your question :)
