Enables site administrators to upload a range of images and select one as background on the site. This enables non HTML/CSS aware administrators to quickly change the background image on a site from within the administrator interface.

The selected image is applied to the site by entering a CSS selector in the administration interface (e.g. body #main-wrapper). It's also possible to attach CSS to the selector in the interface (e.g. background-size: cover).

Extensions

This module comes with extensions that allows you to used the uploaded background images in different contexts. The extensions has a weight so the user extension overrides the image selection made in the node extension. If an extension do not have a image selected, then it falls back to the next extension with a lower weight.

Each extension have its own set of configuration options, but they all have the CSS fields, which have to be filled out.

  • User - This extension allows authorized users to select a background image to use when they are logged in. If a used have selected a image it will override all other background image selection. The image is selected on the "My background" tab on the user profile page (e.g. /user/1/backgrounds).
  • Blog - This extension allows users to select a background image for their blog pages and entries. The image is selected on the user profile on the "My blog background" tab on at the user profile page (e.g./user/1/blog/background).
  • Panels - The panels extension allow you to select a background image for a given panel variant. The image is selected under "General settings" in the variant of the panel that should use a given image.
  • Node - This extension allow each node to have its own background image. You can select which content types should have this ability in the administration interface. The image for a given node is selected in the individual node edit form, when creating or updating a node.
  • Views (beta) - This extension enables administrators to select dynamic background images in views, so each view can have its own image. This is achieved by exposing a new display in views called "Page (dynamic background)", which under page settings have an option to select the image.
  • Context - The context extension allows administrators to select uploaded images base on different contexts using the context module. Such contexts as path, role, node type or taxonomy and may more conditions.
