I am looking to customize the Daydream by the shore template and what to know if it possible to change the background image used. When looking into the source it does not show any information on the image.

Hello Michael -
the primary image in the template you refer to is not just an image added, but is actually part of the css of that particular template. If you are familiar with css it is actually possible to over ride that background image, but it would require modifying the css of the template itself and saving it as a custom template, but you would not be able to make that change just by swapping out an image URL in the template itself.

In the css file it refers to the following background-image: url("../../../static/images/theme/sun-weather/sun-warm-weather-04.jpg"); }
If I were to change the jpg image Would I use a external URL or load a image to my storage in auctiva?

Hello Michael -
You can certainly try altering the URL you've noted with either an image in your Auctiva account or an externally hosted image and save it as a custom template, but please keep in mind that we typically do not provide assistance with custom templates so if you are familiar with css and html you are welcome to alter the templates, but our support team may not be able to provide you with assistance using them once customized.
You should also be able to override the image using the css for background-image as I am not 100% certain if changing that specific URL will achieve the effect you wish.
If you have further questions about this, please feel free to file a support case and reference this thread on the forum so we can look into this further.
