Re: Background Image
Rmove the background image from your content CSS
Make a field in your questions where the can upload a picture and insert that code into the header.tpl
It should go something like this:
<BODY BACKGROUND="{member_profile_bgimage}" >
Use it only on the member profiles.
This is just out of my head, check the syntax of everything, it's only the idea.
Re: Background Image
would this be secure? i mean what if they upload a virus or something?

Re: Background Image
I think you must do an extension for this ...
so it can be stored in the database ...

It would be easy enough to check that it was only graphic images that were uploaded
Re: Background Image
There is an image type of field in profile fields.
Basic algorithm of achieving this should be:
1. Create new field of "image" type "Background image", label "bgimage"
2. Add this code to header tpl in <head></head>:
<!-- IF active_module == "member_profile" AND profile_field_bgimage_value != "" -->
<style>
body {ldelim} background: url('{virtual_path}media/uploads/{member_media_path}/{profile_field_bgimage_value');{rdelim}
</style>
<!-- ENDIF -->
I'm pretty sure this won't work from the first try but it covers 90% of what you have to do. You'll also face some design/layout issues caused by disharmony between image and colors of design elements but that's another story...

Re: Background Image
if you used radioact`s code that should work when you are on a members profile page and he has a bgimage uploaded
Re: Background Image
Long time reader, first time poster here, just wondering if this should function in 2.7. I've done exactly what was instructed, but I don't see the background images that I've uploaded.
Profile Types: Members
Settings==>Profile Types==>Profile Groups==>Fields:
Created a new field:
Name: Background Image
Label: bgimage
Type: Image
Load in account profile: yes
Now the option is there to upload an image in the profile edit screen. I uploaded a test image, and can view it using the view image link.
Then I copied the code from Radioact exactly, and placed it at the top of the Header.tpl file, inside the <head></head> brackets. But on site refresh nothing changes in the member profiles.
Did I miss a step, or is something amiss?
Any help is appreciated, I'm enjoying the switch here from crappy SkaDate.
Re: Background Image
So, I was just wondering, 4 days later...maybe no one wants to resurrect an old post, But I'm very interested in this code change and if it should work as described by Radioact in vldPersonals 2.7. I have detailed what I've done to try and implement this above, but perhaps this isn't the correct place. Should I start a new post and hope for assistance there?
Re: Background Image
I just wanted to let anyone else who is watching this topic know that I received assistance from Ramil (Radioact) with this at his vldMagic.com site, and now it works. He responded to me within minutes of receiving my ticket, and stuck with me for a few back and forth exchanges until we got it sorted out. I strongly suggest anyone with a real customization issue try to contact him. Days went by here in the forum without a response, then I opened a ticket with the vldPersonals ticket support, and they suggested I try to contact Ramil since they don't help with html issues.
I'm glad I did.
Thanks Ramil. +1 for you.
