How to change the Login background?
By Ifa Student
I have the box checked so non logged in users cannot see pages on my site etc.. so when someone views my site all they see is a white background with the elgg register / login screen asking them to login. Is there a way I can change that white background to an image?

You must log in to post replies.You can. On your theme, or frontpage in the <head></head> tags section, insert this code.
<style type="text/css">
body {background-image:url('http://yourwebsite.com/yourimage.jpg');}
</style>
Change the bold text to the image URL.
you can change the css file
@ifa : You need to override the views/default/page/walledgarden.php with your own theme.
Hello. I have modified htdocs/mysite/views/default/page/walled_garden.php. per Speedysnail6 advise but I do not get the background image in login screen in walled gardeen setting? Any idea? thank you.
mmmm. I do not know if lack of replies should put me off, but, I try anyways. In addition to above, is there a way to alternate the background image among a few images selected randomly (every time the page is requested or some other interval criteria)?
Thanks in advance for any replies...
Actually Speedysnail6, Team Webgalli and mr.kodok.boy proposed solution worked pretty well. The reason it had not worked earlier because I had made an error in the URL of the background image... Thanks to all!
