Looking for a very specific functionality on my site - I want the image associated with an image node to display as the page background, and not in the node. I've gotten a few pointers, and can "see" how it may be possible to do with a new "background image" image field, and then pass the image URL to the background (and hide it from displaying within the node) - but I simply cannot connect those dots into something that works. This may, for practical purposes, also require an extremely "stripped" theme or theme override to "throw out" some/all of the rest of what makes up a theme in order to display properly.

Thanks!

One way is to extract the image source in your theme and put it into the style="" part of a DIV, thus making that image the background of that DIV.

Yes, conceptually I get that. But I'm working with zero coding skills, and a budget somewhat shy of the multi-thousands most of the drupal devs I've chatted with want for any customizations. :(

Are you using the Image module?
And do you want the image as the background of the entire page, or the part of the page that's usually occupied by the node body in your theme?
