Transparency in Profiles

[ccole513]

Is it possible... and if so, how?

[Lynne]

Css?

Hi Lynne. How have you been?

Could you elaborate on your answer?

[Lynne]

If you google "css transparency", you will get several hits on how to use css to make things transparent. So, I was suggesting you find the css 'code' to make images/backgrounds transparent and then apply the css to your style.

Those codes are predefined. A default value would not be sufficient. The option needs to be interchangeable. Wouldn't this require something more in-depth?

[Lynne]

What do you mean the codes are predefined? I guess I'm missing what it is you want. I thought you wanted to modify the profile images on your member.php page. In the MEMBERINFO template it says:
<td id="profilepic_cell" class="tborder alt2"><img src="$prepared[profilepicurl]" $prepared[profilepicsize] alt="<phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[xs_picture]</phrase>" /></td>

So add in there style="whatever-you-want-for-tranparency" to the td tag. I'm pretty sure that should work. (Although, maybe not, I've never tried it, but go ahead and try it and see.)

I would like to include profile blocks as well as corresponding images. Transparency should a selectable / customizable option though.

[Lynne]

Ah, much more complicated. I guess you'd have to make a custom profile field for them to select it and then add in the style="whatever" line if they selected "yes" (or whatever) in their profile field.
