We have recently had version 1.8.4+ (2007021540) installed and I can no longer apply a background image inside a table.
Within the table properties window I have entered the 'Image URL' and it initially displays the background in the editor window but then when I click save changes it just displays a white background.
I have gone back into the editor and the Image URL is still there!
Is this a known bug?
No - there must be something wrong in the URL itself or the location of the image. Is the background image placed to course files of the same course / site files / somewhere else? Try to change Use slash arguments setting from Administration -> Server ->HTTP. For example
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="150" background="http://moodle.org/theme/moodleorange/topbar.gif" border="1"><tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="75">test
</td>
<td valign="top" width="75">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="75">
</td>
<td valign="top" width="75">test
</td>
</tr></tbody>
</table>
shows a table like this:
| test | |
| test |
Thanks for your reply.
I have just tried setting the background of a table to http://moodle.org/theme/moodleorange/topbar.gif and it works! The URL I am trying to link to is in a directory on the same course http://(website)/file.php/87/icons/2.jpg
I have looked at the settings and use slash arguments is ticked. I am worried it mess up the site at all if I untick it?
It does not mess up the site - you may check it back if some problems occur.
You may also test it with browser: http://(website)/file.php?file=/87/icons/2.jpg
