Profile Enhancements - Background Image Surrounding Whole Postbit

This will work on any versions of VB 3.6...

If you use and like, please press install.

Description: This gives users the option in their profile to select a background image of their choice to show up in their postbit.

Note: This could mess up the text/font in the postbit so I do advise you to add a border around the text/font in the postbit legacy or postbit templates.

Simply find this code in either postbit or postbit legacy (depending which one you use):

PHP Code:

$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] 


And replace it with this code:

PHP Code:

<div style="border: 1px solid #000000; background-color: #FFFFFF; margin-bottom: 3px; padding: 3px;" width="100%">
$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]
</div> 


The border is set at 1 pixels and a black border (#000000) with a white background (#FFFFFF)... You can change any of that to suit your standards.

If you don't want the border to cover all of the text, simply add <div style="border: 1px solid #000000; background-color: #FFFFFF; margin-bottom: 3px; padding: 3px;" width="100%"> before each postbit text. (Example: you will add it before $post[usertitle] etc...) adding the </div> tags after. This will add an individual border around each postbit text/font.

Right now, lets get started.

First thing to do is create a new Profile Field through the Admin Control Panel.

Single Line Text Box

Title: Post Area Background

Description: Here you can add a background image for your post area (where your avatar is displayed) in posts. Just simply put in the address for your image for a cool looking post area of your choice. (Example: http://www.example.com/example.jpg)

The rest is up to you.

Now go to your postbit or postbit legacy template and find:

PHP Code:

<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px"> 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" style="background-image: url($post[fieldXX]);"> 


Just replace the XX in the fieldXX with your Post Area Background field and you're done:up:, thats it. Hope you like and please click install if you use, thanks.

looks good especially against that black background.


I have a problem with mine the images have decided to stop showing and i dont know why?


*edit they show in internet explorer but not in firefox

[MiahBeSmokin420]

could be a number of things

1 thing that i noticed and i cant realy figuer out it this:

for some reason when i make the custom field hidden so it dont show up on the profile page it just dont show up at all on the site

which i realy find weird cause i have other things that are the same way hidden and shit but they still show up on the site

im accually looking for a new way to do all this thats another reason why its taking me a lil whilee to post the way i did it

i would rather have it perfect and possiable be a xml product to upload rather then have template changes

but wee will see i will have my version posted here soon one way or the other it will be posted tonight

but ya the problem with firfox is..... idk i use firefox and it works find for it
just try making sure you didnt make it a hidden feild thats the only thing i can think of

that or maybe your <div> tags are not suppored in FF idk what kind you used

but anyways ima get back to getting my version of this released and ill be back here soon

yalk to yall then

[MiahBeSmokin420]

Here ya go my version is posted
