Custom profile banners/backgrounds?

✭✭
Hi again, VF sweethearts! Got a quick question for you, is there any way for users to upload a custom profile banner/background? You know, like Twitter and Facebook?
Any addons that could be configured to do this?
Thanks! I'm using 2.2.4 atm.

This sounds like a cool idea!
This could be done by modifying the Profile Extender addon.
It would probably be better to make your own plugin.
@Zhaan
can you explain it better to give the gist for people who don't use twitter or facebook . A few screenshots of proposed look could help.
@hgtonight Interesting! I'll look into that.
@peregine Yeah, sorry about that. Basically something like this:
Sorry for being so ignorant. so when you say custom? do you mean a different banner per each user?
or do you mean a an assortment of banners that users can select from?
A specific user has an option for uploading banner. somewhere (probably profile page). and it replaces the banner on all pages viewed by that specific user. on non-mobile user pages for that specific user. Or does it place a banner in the specific users profile so when other users view the user's profile they see the users banner.
No worries!
This is basically what I want, yeah. That's how Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Twitch, and most other social media sites handle it. It's a great way to let your users customize their profiles without giving them too much freedom.
thanks for making this happen - @Zhaan
