Hi,

I find that setting a background image for the website landing page is always a bit tricky as there's no ideal image size specified.

What size of image is ideal for the background? I need the image to fill the background without being replicated as this makes it look dis-jointed most times.


Kind regards,

Hello Olawale,

The display of Background image is dependent on screen size. If screen size is small, user will see single image in the Background. If screen size is large, the same background image will be tiled.

Hello Umair,

Thanks for the quick response. Is there any way around this? The tiling is not very pleasant at all... and by the way, it still gets tiled even on the screen of my mobile phone!

Wale,

If you want to use a background image - you need to use a texture - that can be tiled. Thats the nature of backgrounds.

best,
Rushabh

Thanks Rushabh, in that case, how do I revert to having the login form showing on the landing page? I tried to do that but I keep getting the menu bar with a link to the login form.

Cheers!

Hello Rushabh,

There's no provision on the Website Settings page for selecting the login form (mysite.erpnext.com/login) as the landing page which is how it works by default. The site instead defaults to mysite.erpnext.com/index where you have to first click a link before seeing the login form.

Please advise

Wale,

Just checked. Sorry home page should be a non-mandatory field. If you make it blank, it defaults to login. Updated in edge branch - will be released sometime in main branch soon.
