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.

Hmm ... might try out later ... by the way does it only supports the old kind of vbulletin? or it's compatible with the new vbulletin with horizontal indications ??

Thanks ~

I haven't tried it with the newer one, but I think it might work, just do the edits on the postbit template instead of the posbit legacy template.

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

Replace with:

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

Glad you got it to work, I tested with most versions of vBulletin 3.6.x and it worked, some I didn't test but presumed it would work anyway.

For the border thing, if you can not find that bit of text I put up, then simply add <div style="border: 1px solid #000000; background-color: #FFFFFF; margin-bottom: 3px; padding: 3px;" width="100%"> before each postbit text (location etc... in your postbit or postbit legacy), make sure you add the </div> tags after.

Please mark installed if you're using, thanks.

[MiahBeSmokin420]

ahh see i just add

<div class="postdata">

</div>

around my lil fields in postbit legacy

[bazzup]

so the images have to be a certain size then?

cant we get this to resize cos if someone posts a few images in their post it will have a blank space below the image in post bit

[TCE Killa]

I am not sure how to resize them, but if you put a small background in, it repeats so there is no blank image in there.... If it is small enough, it can repeat the image 2-3 times.
