Nice, but can you make it work with usergroup permissions so that only mods/premium members can use it?

That's not in my plans at this time.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Can you try re-phrasing that?

What he is saying, is there is a bug.
admincp/vbulletin options/ .....No text to see your mods option.
You can click white space to show options.

Is there any way to allow the profile text to parse bbcode?
It would make for a much more customized solution.
Good modification = Thanx for sharing!

Ok, thanks for the explanations, should be fixed in version 1.2.

First of all the usergroup permissions issue. This is not very easy to deal with, since by default vBulletin has no way of allowing/disallowing a user profile field based on usergroup. So it would take some hacking to hide the profile field in their user cp. I'll look into this if I get time, but no guarantees.

Allowing BBcode would also be nice, but would involve a complete rewrite of this mod. I'll look into this one as well, if I get time.

[Peterpan002]

The hack is there ok but just doesnt show up unless cursor highlighted???? Are because the text is default black which doest show on the forum default skin colour. Can the txt colour be changed?

You can change that by editing the memberinfo_profilewelcomemessage template. On the very first line, change color:#000 to color:white or whatever else you want.

[Peterpan002]

Got you thank you sorted, unfortunately many of the profiles are also customized and therefore the already requested inclusion of BBCode would be a good idea.

[NAZIA]

thanks will install later

To pick up vbulletin css, edit the memberinfo_profilewelcomemessage template.
On the first line, you see the following.


<div style="margin:-15px 10px 12px 10px;color:#FFF;">

Change this to.

<div>

Also, I didn't like the way it was so close to the tab's, so I added at the
very top & the very bottom of the template.

<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="2" width="100%"><hr width="99%" size="1" align="center" color="red"></td></tr>

To me, It stands out better. It's great for dark board's.

Check out my profile. (http://teamamp.us/forum/member.php?u=1)

At any time you edit any template, you can view history of that template.
Any info you remove will still be shown.

[Thelonius Beck]

~I found it difficult to read the text (no matter the color) over custom BG's.
So I did it this way. It automatically pics up the full user CSS for "Primary Content Areas."
<div style="margin:-15px 10px 12px 10px;color:#FFF;">Change this to...

<div class="alt1">~I liked what you did with the Upper & Lower borders blind-eddie, I just removed the color code to make it fit more pallets(Kinda looks metallic). I also upped the width to 100%(I just like it better that way)

At Top & Bottom
<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="2" width="100%"><hr width="100%" size="1" align="center"></td></tr>

Awesome hack! I will try this one!

Thanks for the share!

[Brandon Sheley]

mind sharing what was "updated" as my prefix doesn't say installed anymore, it says updated, yet I don't see any notes?

thanks

[sockwater]

It fixes the problem in post #14 and caches a template that wasn't being cached.

This is a great mod! Installed!

Looks good but going to wait for the bbcode options considering many profiles on my forum have been customized.

You might consider clicking "installed" if you want to encourage continued developement. :)

[carrlos]

It's a great hack once you apply Thelonius Beck's suggestion (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1597053&postcount=27).

Installed!!! :D

[Daisyboo]

Installed, but I'd love to see the message inside a box.

Hi,

what can I do when the auto-template don't work? How to manually insert your mod into the memberinfo template?

[sockwater]

Hi,

Just put $template_hook[profile_left_first] in your MEMEBERINFO template where you want it to display. (preferably in its default position, in case you want to use it with other mods).

If you already have the template hook, then you might have another modification that is overwriting $template_hook[profile_left_first] instead of adding to it.

[nerofix]

Okay, I checked this and now I think it's another problem: It's simply not appearing after the templatehook.

The Welcome message is not showing up in memberinfo template and I have no clue why.

[binevi]

It's good idea (:

And i think that would be greatfull if you add editor toolbox on it or enable BBcode ;)

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

I'm all over this if can handle BB code ... so I second the request :)

have many profiles with dark backgrounds while others have white. :( being able to independently customize text would be essential.

Is it possible to have all submissions/revisions by the members be put into moderation queue first?

[GSeybold]

installed. good add on.

[GSeybold]

it doesn't work if you have a custom profiles set and the member chooses a dark background. The default text color is used which is dark for default vb and many other skins

[TandyServices]

Installed.. very nice..

Very nice mod. Allowing BBCode would be a nice addition

Hope to see this one for 4.0, very usefull.

Used the suggestions from this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1597053&postcount=27) for a little help on being able to see it clearly. :up:

Anyone going to update this one to add the usergroup permissions and bbcode options?

[MagicThemeParks]

One of my site's profile layout is being completely thrown off. How can I edit the template without having it automatically added by the product?
