Profile page backgrounds

[Pebbles]

not sure if i am posting this in the right section?
I have looked around in the plugins and do not think this exists
so i was wondering, can i achieve this without a plugin?
and just adding stuff in templates and create a custom profile field?

What i would like is for members to be able to give their profile page a cool look by being able to upload an image of choice, repeat/pattern wise or a big one with fixed positioning
forum softwares like ipb have got this profile customisation feature, i think it is nice and would be cute
and since they already can have a profile banner on my forum , i thought this would be a nice addition

if not possible simply by custom profile fields, can this be achieved with a plugin?
if so, can it be so that only staff can change profile page backgrounds?


thank you

thank you for trying to help but that is not what i am after, that is only for mini profile backgrounds right?
i said profile page, as in the main profile of your account on the forum
not the mini profile

Pebbles, in the future please stick to one thread even if you think you aren't being helped fast enough.  If you wanted it moved to plugins, you could have pm'd a moderator or posted in this thread asking if plugins would be a more appropriate place. In this case, it wasn't and this was the correct place.

As for we volunteers, sometimes we have real life obligations and just don't have the time to help. For me, when I saw your thread, I couldn't work out how to do what you needed and thought I'd get back to it when I had time.  But when I came back to this thread, I saw you didn't bother to bump so I just figured you no longer needed this and I moved on to help others.

In the future, stick to one thread and bump it every 24 hours and have a bit of patience because most of us helping in templates, plugins and themes are often volunteers with limited time.

Regardless, I'm happy you got your request resolved. Will put the appropriate label on this thread.
