Add backgroung image to My Profile?

I would like to add a background image to the My Profile page.

My question is how?

Thank you.

You'd need to have an image field that a user can upload a background image to. Then you'd need to write custom CSS to absolute position it and stretch it to fill the entire profile div. The profile div would need to be relative so it won't go outside of the profile display.

Thank you for your reply.

I want to use a single image in the default Joomla image directory.

I am looking for how to achieve this, as in the actual css, I can't imagine this is something new.

Can you provide the css, point me to an example or provide the proper area for this type of support?

Thank you.

If it's a single image then you could do something like the below.


The above is just an example. If you supplied it an image URL it'd stretch the image to fill the entire profile div. I recommend adding custom CSS to your Joomla template CSS file as it changes less often and less likely to lose your changes on updates.

For further CSS usage please see the below tutorials.
