Guided landing page with dynamic background image

  • October 24, 2018

In my landing page template I have a div #header2 which has a background image defined with a variable :

#header2{ background-image: url(${header2BackgroundImage});background-position: center;background-repeat: no-repeat;background-size: cover;padding:25px;margin:0;}

The problem is that this background image should be different based on a segment ( coreActivity ) . But I do not see this value in the dynamic content section.

How should I handle this background image problem?

Is there a way to get the URL in the dynamic section?

    It will be difficult because variables cannot be made dynamic.

    See and

    You will have to use a workaround, such as adding an image element elswhere in your template, make it dynamic, and have some JS that take this image and set it as the background image for your header and hide the element.

    Franky, to be clear, do you need the images to be browseable, i.e. users get to choose from the Design Studio thumbnails, or do you need them to merely be segmented?

    It's not necessary to use JS if you only need a segmented background-image.

    Hi,

    merely be segmented. Do you have a solution?

    Of course.

    Velocity has access to all your Segmentations and Segments.  So, for example with a Region Segmentation (when you choose the Segmentation in Velocity, it will start with "Segmentation") you could do:

    #set( $regionalBackgrounds = {
      "NE" : "apple.jpg",
      "SE" : "orange.jpg",
      "NW" : "coffee.jpg",
      "SW" : "chili.jpg",
      "*"  : "fallback.jpg"
    })
    $display.alt($regionalBackgrounds[$lead.Segmentation_Region_1010],$regionalBackgrounds["*"])

    This will output the image for their region, or if they have a region that isn't listed, it'll output the fallback image.
