MediaWiki talk:Common.css

Latest load.php from Mediawiki 1.40 doesn't like the "url" directive. It compiles it to an empty url... It needs some investigation.

 //In order to work again:
 //change from:
 #home-cat .cat-base { background-image: url("/images/a/ac/Ban2_base.jpg") }
 
 //to:
 #home-cat .cat-base { background-image: url( images/a/ac/Ban2_base.jpg ) }

1. home-cat .cat-base { background-image: url("/images/a/ac/Ban2_base.jpg") }
2. home-cat .cat-video { background-image: url("/images/6/6a/Ban2_video.jpg") }
3. home-cat .cat-audio { background-image: url("/images/f/f3/Ban2_audio.jpg") }
4. home-cat .cat-repair { background-image: url("/images/4/46/Ban2_repair.jpg") }
5. home-cat .cat-cart { background-image: url("/images/b/b5/Ban2_cart.jpg") }
6. home-cat .cat-cd { background-image: url("/images/d/df/Ban2_cd.jpg") }
7. home-cat .cat-code { background-image: url("/images/3/3a/Ban2_code.jpg") }
8. home-cat .cat-chips { background-image: url("/images/a/a5/Ban2_chips.jpg") }
9. home-cat .cat-games { background-image: url("/images/0/07/Ban2_games.jpg") }

Thanks for the investigation and finding the cause. I can't edit Common.css because I don't have the appropriate rights anymore. Tried reaching Elbarto. Furrtek (talk) 10:47, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Rom1: We could also use the embedded images in CSS, but it's very dirty. The best option that doesn't use "url()" is to put a normal image but change CSS a bit so it resize the image tag to cover the whole background. It's easy but I would need to change CSS too.
