myspace profile icon (like yahoo, aim, msn etc)

[intrigue]

ok this is a very simple edit and i thought i would just quickly give it to others as im sure they will appreciate it too.

Firstly add a new profile field
Profile field type = Single-line text box
fill in the required details and click save and make a note of the field name
(most likely be fieldX) where X is the number of the field mine is field7 for example.

Now
Find

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]


And add below


<!-- my space display start -->
<if condition="$post[fieldX] != ''"><a href="http://$post[fieldX]" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/im_myspace.gif" title="View myspace profile" border="0"></a>
</if>
<!-- Myspace display end -->


Make sure you change the two value fieldX where X is the number you noted down at the start

Upload the im_myspace.gif to your images/misc/ folder and thats it.
I will support this but i doubt it will need support

Here's a quick ? for you, I installed this in my postbit, works great! Now, I did the custom profile edit of the MEMBERINFO template to look kinda like myspace.

My profile is here: http://www.tunernetwork.com/forum/member.php?u=2

What I want to know is, how do I now get that Icon to show up to the right of the MSN one, under Contacting Zazza CEO. That would be a cool add on.

In the MEMBERINFO file, it has the other messengers coded as the following:

<if condition="$userinfo['showaim']">$userinfo[aimicon]</if> <if condition="$userinfo['showicq']">$userinfo[icqicon]</if> <if condition="$userinfo['showyahoo']">$userinfo[yahooicon]</if> <if condition="$userinfo['showmsn']">$userinfo[msnicon]</if>

Basically, what would I have to add for code, in order for the myspace icon to show up? Thanks for your help!

You might want to include what files you would be editing. :)

It would be the postbit or postbit_legacy templates, depending on which one you use.

Great! Thank you! *clicks install*

[MustangLisa]

Great idea, thanks!!

[bashy]

Great hack, thanks

[BrandiD]

installed. Thank you very much!

[chkdgate]

BrandiD, where did you install it under? Postbit or postbit_legacy?

[chkdgate]

Can't get this to work.

It works. If you're using a custom skin or (even the default) the text to search for might be a little different. Search templates for:
$post[yahooicon]

My template only has:
<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]

Place the MySpace code after that. Voila! Here's my full code for that section:
<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]
<!-- my space display start -->
<if condition="$post[field5] != ''"><a href="$post[field5]" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/im_myspace.gif" title="View MySpace Profile" border="0"></a>
</if>
<!-- Myspace display end -->
</div>

I also removed the http:// from the href for my site.

when i do this, it tries to go to: http://www.tehdriven.com/forum/www.myspace.come/leftcoastbias

[LeftCoastBias]

n/m i got it working, i had to use a mix of the original code and the one posted just above...

[Spinning Webs]

This works a lot better...

<!-- my space display start -->
<if condition="$post[fieldX] != ''"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/$post[fieldX]" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/im_myspace.gif" title="View myspace profile" border="0"></a>
</if>
<!-- Myspace display end -->

[Necrosaro420]

[JuGgOlOw22]

I've installed this on 3.62, doesn't show up in my profile but shoes up in my legacy. Isn't is suppose to show up in the profile also?

When you add it into your profile, don't use the http:, just the www.myspace.com/whatever

This is only suppose to be for the postbit,
You would have to change memberinfo as well.

[RaceJunkie]

OK I give up where is the im_myspace.gif?

Installed on 3.6.2

i also did this modification to the code; we had someone trying to abuse it within minutes of the install.


leaving it open to free linking to anywhere is a bad idea- anyone heard of lemonparty before? :rofl:

[chkdgate]

I just installed the Deviant Art icon which is the exact same mod and code as this one but how can I get it to display the member's user name when your mouse hovers over the icon? I added some alt text but I would like the actual user name instead. Thanks in advance.

Exactly what needs to be edited in MEMBERINFO?

I can't get this to work. I've uploaded the image and added the additional code to the postbit (and not the postbit_legacy).

Any help appreciated.
