Myspace button in postbit

[Bratz-Designs]

Hey all,

This small modification will add a small button to your postbit. This small modifications will put a button in the postbit to the Myspace page of the user.

Bratzer

1. Make a profile field
Profile field type = Single-line text box
Title: Myspace account
Description: Type your Myspace ID.
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 & Postbit

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

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

3. Button upload

Upload it in your: images/misc folder!

~reserve & installed

[ericgray]

i think i did it right, replacing the two variable "X"s with values "8"s, and can't see it -- :(

[Bratz-Designs]

- Did you upload the banner to the correct path?
- Did do this modification both in the postbit and postbit_lecacy template?

[ericgray]

OK, I've kind of got this working but when I click on my icon it just takes me to the myspace homepage and not to my profile. I've edited $post[fieldx] to $post[field6] to match my myspace prodile name but it still isn't working .

Any ideas?

[Bratz-Designs]

There are 2 $post[fieldx]'s did you edit both of them? :)

[tigerroar]

There are 2 $post[fieldx]'s did you edit both of them? :)Doh!

Thanks for that mate, corrected now and working fine.

Would this be easy to do for other sites like Bebo too??

[tigerroar]

More of my members have Bebo pages so I altered the original code a little and got it working for Bebo too. I hope thats ok with the original author :up:

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

No problem, mind if i release it?

AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> (pick your style) -> Edit Templates -> User Profile Templates -> MEMBERINFO

here is the part of that template that I think were something is suppose to be added


$vbphrase[private_message]:<br />
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase></a>

any help with this:eek:

[Bratz-Designs]

Is there a way to add this to the Instant Messaging field and not the Additional Information field.

I am not sure, but ill try to find it. (You mean in edit profile right?)

[dholt]

Yes

User cp/Edit Profile/Optional Information - All information will be viewable by other forum members. scroll down too Instant Messaging and you will see.

You may enter your registered identity for the instant messaging networks if you would like other visitors to be able to contact you using that medium.
ICQ Number
AIM Screen Name
MSN Messenger Handle
Yahoo! Messenger Handle
Skype Name

There is a template called instant messaging template as there are four temlates thast look like this
im_send_aim
im_send_MSN
im_send_Yahoo
im_send_Skype
im_send_myspace maybe add a new template

and add something like this but not sure if I'm on the right path here. also I'm not sure what I need to change for it to show up


<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]"><a href="#" onclick="self.close()">$vbphrase[close_this_window]</a></span>
$vbphrase[aim]
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
<div class="panel">
<div align="$stylevar[left]">

<div class="fieldset">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/im_aim.gif" alt="" />
<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]" 2="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_aim_to_x_link]</phrase> (<strong dir="ltr">$userinfo[aim]</strong>)
</div>

<div class="fieldset"><a href="aim:addbuddy?screenname=$userinfo[aim_link]"><phrase 1="$userinfo[aim]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_your_contact_list]</phrase></a></div>

<div class="fieldset"><a href="aim:goim?screenname=$userinfo[aim_link]&amp;message=$vbphrase[aim_hi_are_you_there]"><phrase 1="$userinfo[aim]">$vbphrase[send_x_a_message]</phrase></a></div>

<div class="fieldset">
$vbphrase[these_functions_require_aim]
</div>

</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


Then edit the MEMBERINFO Template and add something after one of these.


<if condition="$show['hasimicons']">
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[instant_messaging]</legend>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0">

</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showaim']">
<tr>
<td>$vbphrase[aim]</td>
<td>$userinfo[aim]</td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showmsn']">
<tr>
<td>$vbphrase[msn]</td>
<td>$userinfo[msn]</td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showyahoo']">
<tr>
<td>$vbphrase[yahoo]</td>
<td>$userinfo[yahoo]</td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['skype']">
<tr>
<td>$vbphrase[skype]</td>
<td>$userinfo[skype]</td>
</tr>
</if>
<else />
<if condition="$userinfo['showicq']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[icqicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" dir="ltr" onclick="imwindow('icq', '$userinfo[userid]', 500, 450); return false;">$userinfo[icq]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showaim']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[aimicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" dir="ltr" onclick="imwindow('aim', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200); return false;">$userinfo[aim]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showmsn']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[msnicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" dir="ltr" onclick="imwindow('msn', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200); return false;">$userinfo[msn]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showyahoo']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[yahooicon]</td>

Could use some help on this but it just seems like a better way and may look better

[gobears20]

I am also wondering a way to get this in the Instant Messaging field. I added it as a profle field, but what is the best way to add this to the Instant Messaging field?

Thanks!

[dholt]

I don't think this mod is supported as I have waited days for a response and nothing.

[Bratz-Designs]

"I am not sure, but ill try to find it. (You mean in edit profile right?)"

I am working on it.

[dholt]

Yes, thank you so much i hope you can figure it out how to add it with the rest of the yahoo,msn,skyp and so on. Thanks

[The Bish]

Installed!

Thank you for this!

[sunnycher]

Thank you! Works great with 3.6.4

[Dr.NoTime]

Nice! Works great. Thanks.

[skooby]

Nice job :)

[sunnycher]

I have one problem, when someone clicks on the little icon, it takes them to myspace.com but not 'my' space on myspace.com
is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks :)

[auctionguy]

Installed! I love this hack!! Awsome for linking!!

[USAMustangs.com]

cool hack.

however, i too would really like to know how to integrate this into the instant message section in edit profile.

that would make it look OEM sort of speak.

[rjteeter]

postbit_lecacy & Postbit

Im sorry, im very new to VB. Do these have to be edited through the ACP?

postbit_lecacy & Postbit

Yes in the admincp -> Styles & Templates -> Edit templates

[DieselMinded]

PERFECT !

Clicks Installed

[DieselMinded]

Can you do this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=146709

[basilrath]

dont know if this hasbeen mentioned but the icon wont appear if members dont fill out a msn addy etc ...........in other words it dosnt create the field on its own, but as soon as you add a msn addy it appears etc...................just a thought

[DieselMinded]

Thats the way it should be , If it showed up all the time then members would be clicking dead Myspace buttons and would quit even trying to use it , I dont want the icon there for members who dont have a myspace ,

The Only Tweak would be to show the icon when viewing profile or atleast hyperlink the number

[Aimee1969]

1. Make a profile field

How do you do this...I'm totally new at this stuff??

[Aimee1969]

I figured it out....I like this ;)

[Shelly]

very nice, most all of my members have a myspace acct that they seem to always want to advertise, this makes it so much easier for them

[dope15gd]

Just checking in to see how getting it integrated into the messenger fields is going.

It's working great for me the way it is :)

[thenewuser]

well done :)

[713JunctionP]

great idea! thanks!

[wickedstangs]

installed on Vb 3.6.7PL1 works fine.

[dirty68]

works great, thanks

[sunnycher]

I installed this on 3.6.8 and it's not working for me there.
Course it didn't work on the other version either, had the icon and you could click it but it took you to myspace.com instead of "my" myspace.

[sunnycher]

Ok scratch the last post, I finally got it working on all my styles.
Just have to make sure you check ALL the fieldx fields :)

Thank you!

[sunnycher]

Are there any hacks/mods like this for Facebook?

[momo2]

field x there are 2 of them, no wonder icon was showing not my space id..
Nice mod thanks..

[DieselMinded]

NOTE you dont have to use the Number For myspace ID just use everything after the www.myspace.com/

And it works great I changed The Profile Field Definition to include these directions as many people were lost trying to find there number

[jet2000]

my contribution:

To add full clickable myspace URL of user to Contact Info:

in memberinfo:

Find:

<if condition="$show['homepage']">
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[home_page]:<br />
<a href="$userinfo[homepage]" target="_blank" dir="ltr">$userinfo[homepage]</a>
</td>
</tr>
</if>

add above:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX]">
<tr>
<td>
Myspace:<br />
<a href="http://myspace.com/$userinfo[fieldX]" target="_blank">http://myspace.com/$userinfo[fieldX]</a>
</td>
</tr>
</if>

fieldX being the custom field for myspace.

No he's right and your misunderstanding what he is saying.

If a user doesn't have an MSN or Yahoo listed in their profile, then the MySpace button WILL NOT SHOW UP regardless if they have any info listed in their myspace field or not. So let's say a user has listed info in their myspace field but they haven't listed a yahoo or msn etc, then the myspace button will not show up. Like basilrath said the field doesn't get created.
