Django CMS - How to add background image in cms

Question

I have been using placeholder to change images and text in html template like this:

{% block newsimage %}
{% placeholder "newsimage" %}
{% endblock newsimage %}

But in one particular html file, the background image have been called from class using css - for example:

HTML:

<div class="container">
...
</div>

CSS:

.container {
    background: url(../images/sample.jpg);
    background-size: cover;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    height: 468px;
}

So I'm not able to add placeholder for this image.

How can I add background image for this template in django cms?

Answer 1

You could add inline CSS to the template, after the external CSS is loaded, eg

<style>.container {background: url({% placeholder "newsimage" %});}</style>
