Album background

blyth

Is it possible to set an album image as background that will not be included in thumbnails.

Or do you have to have the background of an album be one of your thumbnails?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I totally do not understand what are you asking for, sorry :-)
Do you want additional background for album? Maybe some link/scree shot/painting?;-)

With regards.

Sorry - I'll try to be clearer.

In creating my video album I would like the background image that you see on opening the album to be an image that is not one of my featured videos in the thumbnail list.

Is this possible?

I don't see any image, only videos:-) But maybe I still don't get it, or you deleted it.

Anyway to do it you have two options:
1. Use global background image for whole page that is set in Spaceship Theme-> Appearance, however as I see it could not work in case of album.
2. Write special custom CSS for this page which would look like this in your case

html, body {
    height: 100%;
}
body.postid-1065{
    background: url("http://thehealthyhavenblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/sunshine_meditation.jpg") 50% 50% no-repeat;
    background-size: contain;
}

Check is it any help for you.

With regards.

Amazing - thanks - I used the css. Is there any way to have it stay on that front album page without moving directly to videos once they load. As it is my image is only visible for a couple of seconds before it switches to first video automatically.

Hmmm maybe this approach will be good for you: try adding this code:

body.postid-1065 #whole-bg-image{
    opacity: 0 !important;
    filter: alpha(opacity=0) !important;
}

With regards.

Yes it should be blank, as we hidden album to show your background image, but I see that you have remove it(image).
Insert again code from my previous post http://support.apollo13.eu/discussion/comment/4099#Comment_4099 and then we will see are you happy :-)

We are almost there. Is is possible now to have the thumbnails show with this image - so that the image remains until someone clicks on the thumbnail and then the video loads.

Again I really appreciate your help

Air

I though that form start you wanted to show image while your music/video is playing. To do what you wish it would much easier to just add this image as thumbnail to album :-) But we won't hide it form thumbnail list.

So if you wish to still have normal album then remove all our changes and just add this photo to album(just like you suggested in first question).

With regards.
