Displaying backgrounds as image in skin

[baddragon62]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to tweak my FM14 skin to display the home town of the club on the club page. This was done in the FLUT skin for FM15 where it overwrote the backgrounds with an image pack and then displayed them in the skin

The City pack has the following config lines in the config file

<record from="5100035" to="graphics/pictures/club/5100035/background"/>

After digging about through the skin files I found the following code which displays the stadium image

<!-- stadium background etc-->

<container height="220" priority="1">

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="6" layout_children="true" />

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" layout_children="true" />

<widget class="stadium_picture" id="STAp" image_alignment="top, centre_x" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true">

<record id="object_property">

<integer id="get_property" value="objt" />

</record>

</widget>

<widget class="picture" file="photos/overlay1" image_alignment="top, centre_x" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true">

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="3" />

</widget>

</container>

I am assuming that the class="stadium_picture" tells the code what to display therefore it should be just a matter of changing the code to say load the background image instead.

What I can't figure out is what to change it to!!!

Any advice welcome :-)

Here is how the background looks in FM15

And here is the place I want it to appear in FM14

OK Problem Solved!

The code I needed to make it work was :

<container height="220" priority="1">

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="6" layout_children="true" />

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" layout_children="true" />

<widget class="background" id="bgnd" image_alignment="top, centre_x" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true">

<record id="object_property">

<integer id="get_property" value="bgnd" />

<integer id="set_property" value="file" />

</record>

</widget>

<widget class="picture" file="photos/overlay1" image_alignment="top, centre_x" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true">

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="3" />

</widget>

</container>

Is there a link somewhere to a detailed explanation of how a skin actually works???
