ZB thewizardlycommons.com I'm looking a way so that members can choose from various predefined backgrounds which they can use as their mini profile background (let me know dimensions?) I would also like a way that some backgrounds are only available to certain people, for example outlineforum.com, has an exclusive bg for retired staff. Also would it be possible to allow certain people to use it? I plan on selling it in the shop as a customization. Staff will be receiving this feature for free however Edited by Tyler Dream, Jul 13 2015, 04:23 AM.

The width of the area you are referring to is 175px by default. Most theme coders don't change this. As for the height, that is a bit tricky, because the height depends on how long the post and signature is. What would work well for the height is to have semi-transparency applied to the background image so it would blend well on top of a background color. |

The two variables at the top of the above code is where you replace what is between the quotation marks. For the first variable, you replace the placeholder text with your custom profile field title/name. The second variable is for the default background URL for users who have yet to set a background. Find an image that you like, and leave the link between the quotation marks of the second variable. You can create any type of custom profile field, just as long as the result is a URL for a background. Lastly, enter the user/group IDs for all the users/groups that you want to allow to use this. |

I had the problem you mentioned that the picture depends on the users post size. Is it possible to add the picture multiple times like this:? Edited by Tyler Dream, Jul 28 2015, 04:29 PM.

You could define a precise image size with the CSS background-size property. |

I could make the image repeat within the code, yes. Or... I could do as Cory suggested and just make any/every image fit the mini profile. |
