This will add a background image of your choice (editable via USER CP) to surround your whole profile. This should work on all 3.6 versions.

Install time: 1-2 minutes

Very easy to do. Just one simple template edit and a new profile field....

Step one

Creat a new Profile Field
Single Line Text Box
Title: Profile Background Image
Description: This will add a background image that'll surround your whole profile. (Example: http://www.example.com/example.jpg)

The rest is up to you to configure. Make sure you take note of the background profile field.

Step two

In your template MEMBERINFO, find: (their should be two of these - just add it below the first one):

<!-- main info - avatar, profilepic etc. -->

Add below:

<div style="background-image: url($post[fieldXX]);">

just replace XX with your field number. That's it, very simple yet very effective.

Please mark installed if you use... Thanks.:up::D

I was the one who put that code in, in the first place (for the postbit), all I did was add to MemberInfo. Not hard at all. So it was basically my idea more than anything.

what if in a specific member? not in a memberinfo ... like for example .. Admin want to put a bg in my profile ...and that can be seen only in my profile but visible to anybody....

then if Admin again wants to put some bg in other member..it also be seen in other member and me also can see it .. but it will not affect my bg set by Admin.....

is this possible to be done by this hack ??? just asking .. ^^_

Hey there,

is there any template modification or add-on for this in vb 4.0? I really want to offer this option in my board.
