Fancy Background for Userinfo & Post Title
Used for ADMINS - With 5 Stars Backgounrson Both Background




First of all Upload the 2 Images to your forum Images folder, which is attached below!

userinfo.png + posttitle.png = Upload both to your forum Images folder

1)posttitle.png



2) userinfo.png

You only need to upload userinfo.png + posttitle.png to your images folder.

Tutorial Starts Here

STEP 1: Goto your Style Manager >> Click on <<>> Button to enter your Templates Area >> Then find your "CSS Templates" >> In CSS Templates look for "postbit.css", Double Click on postbit.css to access it. >> Now scroll all the way down, and add the following code below everything else:

Code to add in postbit.css:

.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:

<div class="userinfo">

REPLACE WITH:

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

IN SAME TEMPLATE FIND:

<dl class="userinfo_extra">

AND REPLACE WITH:

<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:

<h2 class="title icon">

Add this code below:

<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:

<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:

</center>

In same Template find Code:

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

ADD THIS CODE BELOW:

</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!

OPTIONAL INFO

If you decided to use your own images for the BACKGROUND, then make sure thar you images should match the options below:

Name one of the images to userinfo.png and name the the other to posttitle.png

Size of images should be:

userinfo.png: 400px height / 175px width
posttitle.png: 276px height / 37px width


The posttitle_EXTRA.png image below is just an an extra image with the ADMIN text added on the opposit side! I you wanted to use it then to change the name to posttitle.png

posttitle_EXTRA.png

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 You can try fix the images yourself and see how it works for you!

3: Thanks for clicking on Installed ! Enjoy

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

[ti6]

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.

[marccap]

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

[ChiNa]

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.
