Background Image Surrounding Whole Postbit · **Released**: 02-05-2008

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.

Does this hack have the option to be used only in certain usergroups?

Nope not yet but I can work on that for the next release/version.

Nice addon

This is a great hack dude. I have one question, this isn't cross browser? Some of my members can't see it in FF. It works in IE though. Thanks again.

TCE Killa · #27 03-07-2008, 11:55 AM

Yeah, I have noticed that when I tested the other day on Firefox. It is odd because the profile background image works in both IE and FF and it is pretty much the exact same code as this one, so since I saw it doesn't work for Firefox, I'm trying to figure it out and trying to get it to work with Firefox, it is odd though.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
