Attention: Friendsters members. How to modify your profiles

Triumph you're a star, I was half joking when I mentioned the fact that you were able to find out how friendster dealt with customizing their code.

This should prove very helpful to friendster members and I do hope that they make use of it.

I am making this sticky so that they may easily find it and perhaps pass the link on to other friendster members.

Hugo.

Keep in mind that none of this customization will be visible to those that are not friendster.com members. They will see your profile in "plain vanilla".

Only current and logged in members can see the changes you've made.

quite the expert now

So you getting into this friendster thang.

So you getting into this friendster thang.Pappy has his first friend!

Some more things I think I should add:

• No, I (we) will not make you a background. Most of the people here are professionals, work long hours and get paid to do what they do and have no reason to take food out of their families mouths to take the time to do something that you should be doing without some form of compensation. BTW, don't ask, you won't like the price.
• No, I (we) will not decode cryptic questions that are not clear, concise and to the point. Read this (not optional).
• No, I (we) will not sign up for a freindster account just to view your updates.

Enjoy your stay. We will help you if you at least try to help yourself, I promise.

body { 
background-image: url("http://photos.friendster.com/photos/61/62/21722616/16585444624305m.jpg"); 
no-repeat; }

No-repeat is likely to produce one rather small background tile though, isn't it ?
Although this is speculation without sight of code or image.

sober_jamer what size is the background image ? if it is meant to cover the background as one image it will need to approximate the screen size and to not be repeated. If it is an abstract pattern that needs to fill the screen it needs to be a pattern that is suitable for repeating.

It might help - if the image is not too large in file size - if you posted it here for us to look at.

You can't scale images in CSS. You'll need to do that in PhotoShop or a similar image editor.

Ah, I think I've outlived my usefulness to the friendsters:

Oh, I felt like a king for a week.

You were king for a week! but you have been deposed

However look at the figure for page views on this topic 19,711 that should make you feel a little as though it was a worthwhile effort

Someones been reading it, lets just hope that it helped them.

Hugo.

Holy Methuselah!!!

The replies to views ratio is a bit skewed though.

Good, let's point them there and never hear from them again

hi guys i just wanted to ask a simple help. i can see part of the background image but it seems to be hidden. how can i make it "transparent" so that when i scroll down, the full image is seen and it doesnt move. im not really computer savvy so i hope somehow, u'll know what i mean. thanks!

Link me to the page and I'll take a look.

me too...the background is at the back

Uh, where do you want your BACKground to show?

Sorry, but that link does not work. It is the friendster home page and not a profile.

Oh, I felt like a king for a week.

Is it just me, or is that link not working? I've tried so many times, but I just can't get through. And people have been saying that that link helps a lot. It bugs me so... Do you know why?

I expect the server is down.

Can you please read and follow the instructions in this topic carefully:

jherrwin would you also be careful about double posting questions, sometimes you have to wait for a few seconds before the form is submitted.

Hugo.

how can i center my background pictures in my profile,because it is tiles type sir. and i want to be transparent and also it will not affected the picture in the background

thanks

body {
background: url{your-image-here.gif} no-repeat fixed center center;
}

hello....
can anyone teach me how to change the font color & make the font bold?

:oops: Sorry to all , I still didn't got the point..

#-o I'm so stupid!

:-s Can u teach me how again how to fix friendster?

@Aniz

color:red;
font-weight:bold;

However you will need to know where to apply these rules.

I am assuming your a friendster member; if this is the case then you will need to follow the instructions outlined in the posts designed to help you in the 'Off Topic' section, specifically the instructions on how to add code to your profile (forgive me if I do not repeat what has already been written)

When you have that information you will need to add this code to the 'modify CSS box' on your profile:

  
body {  
font-weight:bold;  
color:blue;  
}

You must enter this exactly as written. substituting whatever colour you want in place of the 'blue'.

This bit of code will change all the page text color and make it bold.

As you are asking a general question this is the best answer that can be given without knowing whether it is specific part you want changed

This will only work if no other colors have been specified elsewhere in the existing friendster CSS style sheets. If you find that some colors do not change then you will need to identify which part of the page it is and apply the code to that item.

btw it is not necessary to use large text or to make it bold when you post on this forum.

Hugo.

@ khen_sathan15

What do you not understand?
What are you trying to do?

It's impossible to help you if you do not help us understand what it is that your attempting to do that is not working. So you will need to give us a little more information.

The instructions we have provided are quite complete and about as easy to understand as we can make them, you just need to follow them step by step.

Hugo.

hugo, sorry if wrote in large fonts n bold....
i did what u told me but why is the font colors not changed?
the font has been bold, just the colors have not changed...
is my code correct? ~>>

body {
background-image: url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/Aniz_ZafeeRa/fs22.jpg);
no-repeat; }
body {
font-weight:bold;
color:blue;
}
body #container *
{
background-color:transparent;
background-image:Get Lucky;
border:Get Lucky;
}

the background-image & border i wrote Get Lucky because i want it to be green...
can i do that?

Aniz,

The reference to 'Get lucky' will not work 'Get Lucky' is a skin or a theme.
In other words it applies an overall look to your profile that is already made for you and which you select using the buttons at the bottom of the page. Selecting one of these means that any code you have entered will be lost.

If you want all the page to have one color for the text and the other changes to work you will need to try this:

 
 
body { 
background-image: url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/Aniz_ZafeeRa/fs22.jpg) 
no-repeat; } 
 
body #container * { 
font-weight: bold; 
color:blue; 
background-color:transparent; 
border-color:green; 
}

Change colours for whatever you like; border-color will add back borders for the boxes, if you don't want them to be visible change it to 'none'
You can not have background-image specified in the way you have done I put in background-image:none because friendster uses some images on the title bars.
In your code you had an error on the background image with an ; before the no-repeat also make sure there is a space between ) and no-repeat

If you want the various boxes to be different I suggest that you choose one of the skins and then if you want to customize it it may be possible.

Hugo.

computer language is not really my lingo, i'm just following what the post said but it's not working. my background pic is not there. it's what i used to have that keeps on popping at the background, means friendster generated bacground.

Then you should probably leave your profile as it was given to you. CSS requires at least a basic understanding of computers and coding.

How to change the border's colour??
My background not nice!!! U try view my profile--Henryania

try nyo to!!!yahoo.............[/b]

can u help me how to make the smal tiles in my profile to be just a single big ones???

thanx hugo

one more thing hugo,
how can i make the background to stay still while i scroll down my profile?
sorry for asking too many questions...i new to this CSS thingy...

Aniz you will need to change your background image code to this:

body {
background: url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/Aniz_ZafeeRa/fs22.jpg)
no-repeat fixed;
}

If that doesn't work try:

body {
background-image: url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/Aniz_ZafeeRa/fs22.jpg) ;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

Let us know how you get on.

Hugo.
