VBiographys

[UltimateOreo!]

This is a very simple modification that basically allows your staff to let the community know them better, it usually gets more personal and less of a formal relationship, and in my opinion, that's what keeps members coming back. Support will only be given in this thread.

This thread utilizes the code of Abe1's form hack, just optimized for this hack.


PLEASE CLICK INSTALL IF YOU USE THIS!

Installation- Create a thread, probably in your announcements thread called Biographys . with anything in it, get the numbers at the end of the topic, like this-http://www.vbulletintests.xenweb.net/showthread.php?p=8, I would remember 8. I go to Vbiographys.xml and find THREADIDHERE and change that to the post ID. While you are editing, find the forum ID that you posted the thread in, and find FORUMIDHERE in the .xml and edit that to your forum ID. You then upload Vbiography.xml to your product manager, and edit the first post to your biography, and then it should be automated for the rest of your staff. The purpose of that is to create a thread to be posted in. You can access the form by going to www.yourdomain.com/newthread.php?do=Vbiographys (THIS IS CASE SENSITIVE) Only the usergroups 5,6,7 can access it, so if you want to add more usergroups to it, go to the form template in your ACP and search for this-
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5,6,7">
Add the usergroup ID's that you wish, separate with commas. Update! The hack is now finished for compatibility with Abes form hack, and you also need to make the original biography post in a forum where registered users cant post, or anyone you dont want spamming your thread. I believe you can also close your thread and it will have the same concept, and biographys can still be submitted.

Just remember, if you like this hack, please click install!

Installed, but all it does is create a page, which doesn't help the situation of needing something that allows the staff to actually create their biography and add it to the site.

It does, it adds the biographies to the page, just follow www.yourforum.com/biography.php

If that is wrong, I'm not sure what you mean.


Also, im working on it so that the staff can upload their biographies from a form on the page.

Just remember, if you like this please just click one button, INSTALL!

This is what I'm looking for :)

Not all of my staff has the ability to get into the admin area.. so a form where they can enter in the info, and have it automatically created would work wonders.

[UltimateOreo!]

Just give me about a week or less, and if they don't have admin access, just go ahead and copy it into the template for them until I get that released.

Great idea I will keep a watch on this one until the form gets installed. :D

Hi ya :) Any advancing on the issue I posted about above? Thanks!!

[redlabour]

Nice - but it will be great if it comes to a Product. :cool:

[UltimateOreo!]

Updated to include forms, not perfect, but im getting there, this is just a quick fix.

[UltimateOreo!]

Ok, updated for the form hack for the last time, code is cleaned up, and it doesnt take up the form this hack originally created.
