DeviantArt button

[Bratz-Designs]

Hey all,

This small modification will add a small button to your postbit. DeviantArt (http://www.deviantart.com) is one of the biggest Art communities. This small modifications will put a button in the postbit to the deviantart page of the user.

1. Make a profile field
Profile field type = Single-line text box
Title: DeviantArt account
Description: Type your deviantArt username.
You can leave the rest to default.

**Note down the number of the field! Example: field16. You need to replace the X in the next code with the number!**


2. Template changes - In postbit_lecacy

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

After ad:
<!-- Deviantart start -->
<if condition="$post[fieldX] != ''"><a href="http://$post[fieldX].deviantart.com" alt="View my profile" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/DA.gif" border="0"></a>
</if>
<!-- Deviantart end -->

3. Button upload

Rename the button you want to use to: to DA.gif
Upload it in your: images/misc folder!

Good idea. I think I'll install this one.

Just a note, for people using the Default Postbit -- you'll want to edit the "postbit" template instead of "postbit_legacy".

You could also change:
<if condition="$post[fieldX] != ''">
To just:
<if condition="$post[fieldX]">

Yes thank you :)

I really like this idea but do you think that this can be modded to be an IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/) button as well? Or anything for that matter right?

Thanks!

Sure, this is very possible :)

Could you please attach the mod as a txt file for the Installation instructions? Much easier for people to use that way (at least it always is for me). Thank you very much! ;)

Hey, I installed this mod but as an IMDb version. Everything works awesome! The only questions I have are:

1. How can I add alternative text when a user's mouse hovers over the icon?

2. Is it possible for this to appear on the Member List and in a member's public profile just like the icq, aim, msn and yahoo icons?

3. Can you set permissions to where everyone can see it but only paying members are allowed to use this feature?

4. How do I link it back to my site instead of opening up in a new window?

Btw, this is a really awesome hack. It can be used to suit whatever site. I think the implications are virtually endless!

[chkdgate]

Okay, I found out how to put some alternative text which is pretty easy but how do I get it to specifically display the member's user name?

Original:
<img src="images/misc/DA.gif" border="0"></a>
Added alt text:
<img src="images/misc/DA.gif" border="0" alt="View my profile"></a>

[chkdgate]

Any way to get this to open in an existing page instead of a new tab?

This is a good idea, and a very easy install for any membername website, not just Deviant Art.

You could simplify the whole process even more as well. Instead of entering their DA info as "bratzer.deviantart.com", you could have them simply add their DA username, or just "bratzer". Then, change your template info to:

<!-- Deviantart start -->
<if condition="$post[fieldX]"><a href="http://$post[fieldX].deviantart.com" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/DA.gif" border="0" alt="View my DeviantArt Profile!"></a>
</if>
<!-- Deviantart end -->


chkdgate, yes you can easily get it to open in the same window by removing target="_blank" out of the URL in the template addition above.
