Set the member's profile image as background image

I would like to allow members to upload their profile image as a full screen background image on their profile.

I've posted a job - any takers?

To be honest, the profile customiser module will allow someone to upload a photo and set it as a background, it is rather simple.  I can make a change in the profile customiser so they can tile the photo, have it full size (this is a CSS 3 property) .  Really, there is not need for a custom module unless you just want it automatically without them uploading a photo.  I will be glad to make the changes to the profile customiser, including the attachment part to make it where the background does not scroll, for free.  I posted a tutorial on how to make the change.  Let me hunt for the post I made on this as I have already shown what needs to be done.

This is how you add background attachment so your members can set the backgroud to be fixed to the page and not scroll:

I don't seem to find the one on the size of the background.  It is done the same way; I will copy the code from my site and paste it in a tutorial.

Great, thanks GG

This should also work, assuming other conflicts with site background images:

in common.css

body {

background-size: cover;

background-attachment: fixed;

}

Yes, but that is not under the control of your members.

Here is the tutorial to add background size to the profile customiser:

Here they can upload an image, set the size, and either have it tilled on the page or full size.  For a full size image, it needs to be large enough so that it does not pixelate.

Yes, but that is site wide. and if you don't allow the members control, then they upload a background image that is small and it looks horrible due to being stretched too big; pixelation will occur.

That's a fair point - I'll take you up on your offer.

Also, it used to be possible to change the designbox styling in the customiser - how do we restore this?
