Allow to set a background image from the admin site.
Get the latest stable release from the Python package index using pip
pip install django-background-image
or the latest development version from Github using
pip install -e git+git://github.com/arteria/django-background-image.git#egg=background_image
Afterwards, add background_image to your project settings' INSTALLED_APPS and create your tables.
In your e.g. base.html load the template tag using {% load background_image_tags %}, then do something like
<body style="background: url('{% background_image_url %}') no-repeat fixed; background-size: cover;">
Add an image using the admin site, http://localhost/admin/background_image/backgroundimage/add/, and you're ready to go.

- CSS backgound-size: cover does not work in IE8.
- The uploaded image must be optimized before uploading. Not downsampling, compression, .. will be applied.
