Category header color and background via UserCP

[Dave Strider]

How would I go about allowing the user to choose their own category header color as well as their own custom background image via profile fields located in the UserCP?

You can create the profile fields and then insert css into your headinclude template

.tcat {
background: $bbuserinfo[fieldFIELDIDFORCOLOR];
}

Use advice given above, but in your header template you should put something more like

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldFIELDIDFORCOLOR]">
.tcat {
background: $bbuserinfo[fieldFIELDIDFORCOLOR];
}
</if>

So if the user has filled out that profile field, it will display their own customisation, where as if they haven't it will show the style that you have set. Simply using the $bbuserinfo[fieldFIELDIDFORCOLOR] will display blank if a user has not edited that field.

Thank you, that worked for me!
