Code to add in postbit.css:

Code:

.postbitlegacy .userinfo2 {
    float:{vb:stylevar left};
    position: relative;
    width:{vb:math {vb:stylevar postbitlegacy_userinfo_width}-{vb:math {vb:stylevar
padding}*2}};
    padding: 2px {vb:stylevar padding} {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2};
    font-size: {vb:stylevar small_fontSize};
    display:block;
      background: url(URL TO YOUR userinfo.png IMAGE) no-repeat;
      width:175px;
      height:400px;
        _margin-top: -{vb:math {vb:math 16px*{vb:stylevar line_height}} +  {vb:stylevar padding}-{vb:stylevar postbit_border.borderWidth}};
    clear:both;
}
.postbitlegacy .userinfo2 .postuseravatar img, .eventbit userinfo .eventuseravatar img {
    border: {vb:stylevar postbitlegacy_avatar_border};
    outline: {vb:stylevar postbitlegacy_avatar_outline};
    max-width: {vb:math {vb:stylevar postbitlegacy_userinfo_width} -  {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}*2}- {vb:math {vb:stylevar  postbitlegacy_avatar_outline.borderWidth}*2} - {vb:math {vb:stylevar

postbitlegacy_avatar_border.borderWidth}*2}};
}
.postbitlegacy .userinfo2 a.username, .eventbit .userinfo a.username {
    clear:right;
    font-size:21px;
    font-weight:none;
    width: auto;
    max-width:{vb:math {vb:stylevar postbitlegacy_userinfo_width} - {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}*2} - 20px};
    word-wrap:break-word;
}
.postbitlegacy .userinfo2 .postuseravatar, .eventbit .userinfo .eventuseravatar {
    display:block;
    margin:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/3} auto 0;
    text-align:center;
    width: auto;
}
.postbitlegacy dl.userinfo_extra2 dt, .postbitlegacy dl.user_rep dt {
    float: {vb:stylevar left};
    text-align: {vb:stylevar left};
    /*color: {vb:stylevar shade_color};*/
    margin-{vb:stylevar right}: {vb:stylevar padding};
    margin-{vb:stylevar left}: 0;
    min-width:60px;
    width:auto !important;
    width:60px;
}

STEP 2: Now if you look at the FIRST code, I have marked it in red where it says: (URL TO YOUR userinfo.png IMAGE) on top.

Replace the red code with the FULL URL to the userinfo.png image in you images folder!

Example: http://site.com/forum/images/userinfo.png

So basicly make sure now both of the images in are uploaded the "userinfo.png" and "posttitle.png" to your forums "images" folder!

STEP 3: Now you need to go back to Style Manager and click on the again back to the Template area to Edit the Postbit_legacy template.

Now in the Templates area Locate the Postbit Templates! Click on it and open the template called "postbit_legacy"!

In postbit_legacy:

FIND CODE:

Code:

---

<div class="userinfo">

---

REPLACE WITH:

Code:

---

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 6)"><div class="userinfo2">
<vb:else />
<div class="userinfo">
</vb:if><center>

---

IN SAME TEMPLATE FIND:

Code:

---

<dl class="userinfo_extra">

---

AND REPLACE WITH:

Code:

---

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 6)"><dl class="userinfo_extra2">
<vb:else />
<dl class="userinfo_extra">
</vb:if><center>

---

If you can see the NUMBER 6 as ($post, 6) is the usergroupd ID that you want to have a fancy background!

Now this was for the USERINFO Background, lets fix the "POST TITLE" background, but do not refresh your "postbit_legacy" template, Stay there to add the last part:


LAST PART FOR USERTITLE BACKGROUND:
In your postbit_legacy find the following code below:

FIND THIS CODE:

Code:

---

<h2 class="title icon">

---

Add this code below:

Code:

---

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 6)">
<img src="images/posttitle.png" alt="Admin Image"><br />
</vb:if>

---

Now lets make all of it to stay in CENTER, if you dont want it to be centered, you can SAVE it now, and DONE!

But if you want it all to be showen nicely then I suggest you center it all following my instructions!

In same Template, Postbit_legacy find..

Find this Code:

Code:

---

<img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" title="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />

---

Add this code below:

Code:

---

</center>

---

In same Template find Code:

Code:

---

<dt>{vb:rawphrase posts}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.posts}</dd>

---

ADD THIS CODE BELOW:

Code:

---

</center>

---

Now CLICK SAVE, and we are done!

And again the Number 6 is used ($post, 6) the 6 is the usergroup ID for Administrators! So it means that ONLY the admins will be able to have this BACKGROUND IMAGE! If you decided to give other usergroups a fancy background as the admins!

You can add more USERGROUP ID's or Numbers like this: ($post, 2,4,6)
Good luck and you can always ask if anything, and dont forget to visit us and contribute some more time on vBCoderz.com!
Notice: Dont forget to download the 2 images attached right below, and upload them both to your forums Images folder!

this template edit is a copy of Usergroup Background in postbit Legacy

Thanks god I came by to answer you, I was online from my phone when I saw this.

Thats not true, and thats not belonging to Dr.osamA, A link you found in similar threads? which I saw the same day befor posting this!

The CSS and some of the Template Edits are made by FastBird, and not any Dr.Osama that you linked. Rest of the Template Edits are made by me, plus the 2 Images and I added a NEW Post Title background, and Userinfo Background!

And if you look below my thread it says big:
It says: Credits for the CSS Part to: FASTBIRD from vBulletin.org, and also I have added FASTBIRD as Co-Author

And where came the Dr.Osama from?


My CSS Code:

This is my IMAGES:

This was requested by a member on vBCoderz.com where I am an ADMIN there: http://vbcoderz.com/showthread.php?p=29395#post29395 ! And Honestly you are a coder yourself, you should first really see how much time people have used on it befor even judge or find something not even close to it!




And this is his CSS:

And this is his Template Code:


This is his images:

Can you even see his images, ? and can you see the SMALL CSS and TEMPLATE code that has been used.
Can u see any difference!

============ Can you maybe see the difference? ============

MR simonhind I was hoping that you will reply back and see your mistakes about FASTBIRDs Tutorial,

I also did message you in private to read my reply here, about your mysteriouse ways of thinking that this is was a template COPY, I think you owe an apology to Me and Fastbird for blowing up such a thing by sayin it was a copy!

@simonhind, it is interesting to me that you try and find fault with everyone on vb.org, and when proven wrong, you hide your head in the sand. I guess it is too hard admitting you are wrong hey!?

ChiNa-Man, keep up the good work mate! It is not overseen!

This is a great template edit! Thank you.

tanx

but please when u want give a post try to use paraphrase and more easy.

@Taurus1 , Thank you, finally a decent and honest person to stand up for his words.. You just really made my day.. I have worked my tears and svet to make this and all of my mods! And each mod that I have have got helped with from friends or members on here, or outside of vB.org I have put that person on THE TOP of my page with full CREDITS !

Even websites that i knew who have helped me years ago I have mentioned them in my profile! Only because they have helped me and made me become the person I am, and because I am raised like this..

I have today Tributet all of my work to Mybbextras.net and Yaldaram.com which can sees on my profiel page. And I hope mr @simonhind could learn from that, not to disrespect him, but to tell him the truth about crediting the right people and their support!

@Taurus1 you really raised my head after this Gentlemans message! May god bless you and your family......

Regards China-Man

and yet i haven't said anything about it, i am busy with a project and don't need the sarcasm

@Donavaz, Sure mate, thanks for your advice,, Glad to hear your point of view,, I will consider it next time If I was using more editings.. Thanks

@simonhind. I reported my own thread to the ADMINS and asked them to remove it IF IT WAS A COPY, and since my thread is still here, you still owe me and Fastbirt an apology.. I dont have much to say about you, I know you are a coder on here and because of your work and your age I respect you, but not because of who you are in person!

ok ChiNa-Man, yes you deserver an apology, and i do apologize for the accusation saying that this template edit was a copy, when in fact it wasnt

Thank you simonhind, I really appreciate your way of comming back to reply....
Its all good and apology accepted mate. I respect you even more now!

Thanks a lot, and with your work and your codings... You belong to the best in here!

Regards ChiNa-Man

Good job man.

One suggestion:

Ability for members to upload their own background via their cpanel.

Thanks.

Is it at all possible to get this per usergroup so that a usergroup would have a different background?

Thank you Mate, Very good one

@socialteenz Thank you Mate, Very good one.. I couldnt click on LIKE! Asks me to like another one befor lol. Pauls Addon ofcourse! :o


@Bluefin221 well not in this version and, YES I did try see If i could make one for each but needs hard-coding! Only 1 of them can be made for all users, and thats the POST TITLE BACKGROUND, the USERINFO background is a bit hard and needs more codings.. But I will see if I can make that one day..

This would work just as well as the usergroups idea as we could make stock graphics which they could use.

This is a great little edit and i will be using it with my own styles added :)

Thank you.


Regarding simonhind, don't worry about him he is a fool wishing he could do the same, I have reported his posts once again. It did the same in another thread and the mods removed his posts.

Thank you, I am very new in this forum! I been here for 4 months, yet I have 50 releases or more! But I what I do, I repect older members on here! This is why I stick to myself ! No need to disrespect or make more out of it! But thank you for your kinds words! I just hope it doesnt happen for another person who have worked as hard as me,,

Is this only for the one usergroup or can you do this for a number of groups?

You can make other groups to see the TITILE images too:

PostTitle Usergroup Permission:
You can change or add more numbers like 6 in this code ($post, 6) which is the usergroup ID for administrator! Add a few other numbers for example 6,5,7..

So it will look like this:
I will try to make others as well! Just have not time for it now! Good luck mate

You make my DAY man!!!!:D I''m happy it is there for vB4.2 will try this soon big thanks!

1. Is there a possibilty to make it work on different user ids instead of usergroup?

2. Can i let the image stick to the bottom of the postbit?

1: Yes you can, but you need to change the number of the usergroup... And remember to change the "ADMIN" TEXT in the image"! Bcoz if you wanna use it for a moderator, then you cant use the image that says ADMIN!

2: I didnt get this one :D You can try fix the images yourself and see how it works for you!

3: Thanks for clicking on Installed :D ! Enjoy

1. I mean i want to use USERID instead of USERGROUPID'S? You feel me:D User dump100 has an USERID of 153

2. if you make a long post than the image shows on top. Can it set to be at the bottom.

This would be useful to know :D

Yes you can, but thats something you would have to figure out yourself, where and how! I have a few Ideas but if you needed help then I will for sure help you out.

i cannot find the postbit background not the userinfo background mod. anyone?

Hi there!

As always, great mod. :) Have a question relating to this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...37#post2404437 . Is it possible to combine this with your mod? On the web i found this site http://www.urbanterror.info/forums/t...-january-2012/ admin posts look different than others. I really like this idea. :)

Is there a way to have one image for a usergroup and a different image for a different usergroup etc etc

I dont say it cannot be done, but it requires more work and we need to add an extra css field for the image in the css. But honestly I dont wanna recommend it, Because some of you guys will end up ruining the Postbit template. And it might take more than 1 hour or so. So I am not taking my chances on that,

But feel free to do it at your own risk and play arround with the Postbit code yourself.
