Message background

Hello!

I followed this tutorial:
https://help.forumotion.com/t137252-button-to-choose-the-message-background#926885

Yet I have an issue. The background appears only like this:

Spoiler:

I would like it also to be under the avatar on the left side and in the bottom under the buttons (facebook, skype,..... ) How should I edit the script from the tutorial?

Soo.... it's not possible?

So would you like the whole topic page background to be an image you choose?

No in the tutorial image example you can see that background is under the post text and avatar. When I use the code, the background is only under the post text. (look at the picture in my first post). I would like the background to also be under the avatar on the left side and in the bottom under the buttons (facebook, skype,..... ) How should I edit the script from the tutorial?

Hey,

Change the script to the following for phpbb2 :

Code:

$(function() {
  $("div.postbody").each(function() {
    var n = this;
    if($(".post-entry", n).length) {
      n = $(".post-entry", n)[0]
    }else {
      if($(".content", n).length) {
        n = $(".content", n)[0]
      }
    }
    while(n.nodeType != 3 && n.hasChildNodes()) {
      n = n.childNodes[0]
    }
    if(n.nodeType != 3) {
      return;
    }
    if(n.nodeValue.substr(0,8)  != "[postbg=") {
      return;
    }
    var m = n.nodeValue.match(/^\[postbg=([^\]]*)\]/);
    if(!m) return;
    $(this).closest(".post").find('> td').addClass("postbg").css("background-image", "url(" + m[1] + ")");
    $(this).closest(".post").next().find('> td').addClass("postbg").css("background-image", "url(" + m[1] + ")");
    n.nodeValue = n.nodeValue.replace(/^\[postbg=[^\[]*\]\n?/, "");
    if(!n.nodeValue && n.nextSibling && n.nextSibling.nodeType == 1 && n.nextSibling.tagName == "BR") {
      $(n.nextSibling).remove()
    }
  });
  if($("#text_editor_textarea").length && $.sceditor) {
    var bglist = "http://i.imgur.com/20aRJFn.png,http://i.imgur.com/DcTM2Ng.jpg,http://i.imgur.com/tkC3deY.jpg,http://i.imgur.com/pfTcnqF.png,http://i.imgur.com/dAQtdaR.gif,http://i.imgur.com/48CU2Qx.png,http://i.imgur.com/lRuwoVi.png,http://i.imgur.com/EHp45H1.png,http://i.imgur.com/8bhbqFF.png,http://i.imgur.com/tb80sYG.png,http://i.imgur.com/6LPhzcp.png,http://i.imgur.com/DkRuYf1.png,http://i.imgur.com/57F0z86.jpg,http://i.imgur.com/PZyMuXF.png".split(",");
    var bgnum = -1;
    var val = $("#text_editor_textarea").val();
    if(val.substr(0,8)  == "[postbg=") {
      var m = val.match(/^\[postbg=([^\]]*)\]/);
      if(m) {
        var r = $.inArray(m[1], bglist);
        if(r != -1) {
          bgnum = r
        }else {
          bgnum = bglist.length - 1
        }
        $(function() {
          $(".sceditor-container").css("background-position", "0 " + ($(".sceditor-toolbar").height() + 6) + "px");
          $(".sceditor-container").css("background-image", "url(" + m[1] + ")")
        });
        $("#text_editor_textarea").val(val.replace(/^\[postbg=[^\[]*\]/, ""))
      }
    }
    $(function() {
      if(!$("#text_editor_textarea").sceditor("instance")) {
        return
      }
      $('<a class="sceditor-button" unselectable="on" title="Background of message"><div unselectable="on" style="background:url(http://i.imgur.com/Hrf5w1i.gif);opacity:1">Background of message</div></a>').insertAfter(".sceditor-button-fahide").click(function(e) {
        if(e.ctrlKey) {
          $(".sceditor-container").css("background-image", "");
          bgnum = -1
        }else {
          bgnum++;
          if(!bgnum) {
            $(".sceditor-container").css("background-position", "0 " + ($(".sceditor-toolbar").height() + 6) + "px")
          }
          $(".sceditor-container").css("background-image", "url(" + bglist[bgnum % bglist.length] + ")")
        }
      })
    });
    $(function() {
      $('form[name="post"]').submit(function() {
        if(bgnum != -1) {
          $("#text_editor_textarea").val(function(i, val) {
            return"[postbg=" + bglist[bgnum % bglist.length] + "]" + val
          })
        }
      })
    })
  }
});

It should apply the background to each cell in the post.

Thank you that works.

As I understand it takes ech table element ( <tr> ) and gives it background? And as I understand avatar section is one cell, post section is 2nd and contact buttons is 3rd section?

Now every section gets a background but you can see the "seams". Is it possible to give background to the element witch is "under" the 1st and 2nd cells (under the avatar and post), so there would not be any visible background pattern connection, as it is now.

This may sound a bit overly complicated, when I say it like that

You could give it to the rows instead of the cells, but some browsers are iffy about that. Therefore, I'd suggest removing the border-spacing on the tables with this CSS rule :

Code:

.forumline { border-spacing:0; }

Ah, okey. Thank you a lot, Ange!
