Thread: Can the user background picture size be changed?

I uploaded a background picture to my profile to test how that works, and when I went to look at my profile, the picture was tiled throughout the background. I know the picture I had was at least 1270-768 or something like that
Real big picture.

Is there a way to either stretch the picture or possibly use the size of the picture before it starts to tile?

Yes - we know about this - either us (MMS) or someone is sure to post a fix for this soon.

Or maybe BoonEx will fix this in the next release.

Well I was digging around and I found this

$query = "SELECT * FROM ProfilesSettings WHERE `IDMember` = '$ID'";
$arr = db_arr( $query );
if ( $arr['IDMember'] )
$ret = "<style type=\"text/css\">
body
{
background-image: url( {$ID_PIC_URL}{$arr['BackgroundFilename']});
background-color: {$arr['BackgroundColor']};
}
div#right_column_content
{
color: {$arr['FontColor']};
font-size: {$arr['FontSize']}px;
font-family: {$arr['FontFamily']};
}
</style>";

return $ret;
I am not sure if this is the place I found this in the profile.php. is that for the background? Could html code be inserted in the 'BackgroundFilename htmlcode here' ?

perhaps that - but also need to deal with the uploading of the background and how it is resized by gd/imagemagick - make some decisions about that.

Well I have been playing around with it.
I have read in other forums, that stretching a background image to match the screen size or browser size doesn't work yet, until css3 comes out.

But I have played around with it and got it to untile and have just one picture up there in the top left corner and then I was able to fix it to make it stay put when you are scrolling, but never got it to resize. I can move the picture all over the screen. From one end to another,
I guess I will have to look at gd/imagemagick and see what I can rig up lol

I think if you check the exising code - you will find what you need to do this - perhaps no reason to read the GD or Imagamagick docs at all.

!!WARNING!! I JUST REALIZED IM THAT OF COURSE IM USING DOLPHIN 5.6 SO IF YOUR USING UNDER THAT IM NOT SURE IF IT WILL WORK BUT USE THE STEPS I USED HERE FOR ALL OTHER VERSIONS

ok to my understanding when you upload the background image its being resized.... i deleted this becuz i found no reason for even profile_customize.php because its so limited but you can try this im not sure if it will work...as i said i deleted the file....:

Add this to the bottom of profile customize...

PHP Code:

function Backgroundresizer( $_FILES, $fname, $path_and_name, $maxsize='', $imResize='true' )
{
        $max_photo_width = 1024; ///CHANGE TO ANYTHING YOU WANT
        $max_photo_height = 800; ///CHANGE TO ANYTHING YOU WANT

    $height = $max_photo_height;
    if ( !$height ) ///IF IMAGE HEIGHT IS BIGGER THAN MAX HEIGHT..
        $height = 800; ///HEIGHT WILL EQUAL THIS-------------^
    $width = $max_photo_width; 
    if ( !$width ) ///IF IMAGE WIDTH IS BIGGER THAN MAX WIDTH..
        $width = 1024;///WIDTH WILL EQUAL THIS-------------^

    if ( $maxsize && ($_FILES[$fname]['size'] > $maxsize || $_FILES[$fname]['size'] == 0) )
    {
        if ( file_exists($_FILES[$fname]['tmp_name']) )
        {
            unlink($_FILES[$fname]['tmp_name']);
        }
        return false;
    }
    else
    {
        $scan = getimagesize($_FILES[$fname]['tmp_name']);

        if ( ($scan['mime'] == 'image/jpeg' && $ext = '.jpg' ) || ( $scan['mime'] == 'image/gif' && $ext = '.gif' ) ||
            ( $scan['mime'] == 'image/png' && $ext = '.png' ) || ( $scan['mime'] == 'image/bmp' && $ext = '.bmp' ) )
        {

            $path_and_name .= $ext;
            move_uploaded_file( $_FILES[$fname]['tmp_name'], $path_and_name );

            if ( $imResize )
                imageResize( $path_and_name, $path_and_name, $width, $height ); ///this is whats chopping up the image and saying resize me dude :)

        }
        else
        {
            return IMAGE_ERROR_WRONG_TYPE;
        }
    }

    return $ext;
} 


as you will notice this function looks a lot like the one is image.inc.php...becuz it is! ... you don't want to change anything so just replicate the function..if you read the code whats happening is its saying if photo height is above 1024 and width is above 1024 we will resize. if you notice in image.inc.php the parameter says 400...go figure boonex...but anyway change in profile customize

PHP Code:

moveUploadedImage( $_FILES, 'bgimg', $dir['profileBackground'] . $pic_name, '') 


to:....

PHP Code:

Backgroundresizer( $_FILES, 'bgimg', $dir['profileBackground'] . $pic_name, '') 


let me know if it works if it didn't sorry i tried

!!WARNING!! I JUST REALIZED IM THAT OF COURSE IM USING DOLPHIN 5.6 SO IF YOUR USING UNDER THAT IM NOT SURE IF IT WILL WORK BUT USE THE STEPS I USED HERE FOR ALL OTHER VERSIONS

I don't have 5.6 I believe I am using 5.4 lol haven't checked that in a while lol
anywho I did that and i so far get one error message

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /my/base/path/html/profile_customize.php on line 77

I have checked everything I copyied and pasted is the same as yours. I will take a look at my image.inc.php and see if there are any differences
