What I am trying to do is to keep changing the background image using image files that are uploaded in the database instead in the 'static', 'images' folder.
I obviously can't do this in the css, actually, I am not sure if this is even possible. Can I make this work in the layout.html or in the View somehow?
This is how I would display an image in the View if it wasn't intended to be a background-image:
<img src="{{=URL('download', args=pic_row.pics)}}"/>
Of course, this approach to display a background-mage won't work:
<section id="main" class="main row" style="background-image:{{=URL('download', args=pic_row.pics)}}">
..but is there a way I can actually achieve this?
<section id="main" class="main row" style="background-image:{{=URL('download', args=pic_row.pics)}}">
The above method proposed in the question is close, but the CSS syntax is incorrect. The style attribute should be:
"background-image: url('{{=URL('download', args=pic_row.pics)}}')"
