Steam Community Profile in Postbit

[AzH]

Hi. This is a quick dirty little edit which allows a user to display a link to their Steam Community Profile in their postbit. This mod is brought to you courtesy of http://left4deadforums.com.

First create a New User Profile Field:

Title: Steam Community Profile

Description: Your <a target="_blank" href="https://steamcommunity.com/"><b>Steam Community</b></a> profile page. Please only enter the final part of the URL. For example: "http://steamcommunity.com/id/left4deadforums" I would enter only "<b>left4deadforums</b>".

Default Value: LEAVE THIS BLANK

Max length of allowed user input: 30 (will prevent people posting the full URL. This is a "good thing".)

Field Length: 25

Profile Field Type: Single-Line Text Box

Field Required: No

Field Editable by User: Yes

Private Field: Yes

Field Searchable on Members List: Yes

Show on Members List: Yes

Regular Expression: LEAVE THIS BLANK

Hit save and make a note of the profile field ID for the next step.

Edit template POSTBIT. Find:

<if condition="$post['age']"><div>$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>

Add below:

<if condition="$post['fieldX']"><div>Steam ID: <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/$post[fieldX]" target="_blank">$post[fieldX]</a></div></if>

Replace ['fieldX'] with the number of your new profile field.


Save and you're done. Voila!!

You did not enter the correct format for the Steam Community Profile field. Please read the field description for the expected format.

If you want to add this mod as a little steam icon where your IM icons are:

Find this in postbit:

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



Add this right below:

<if condition="$post[fieldXX]">
<a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/$post[fieldXX]" target="_blank"><img src ="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/steam.gif"border="0"alt="View Member's Steam Community Profile"></a>
</if>


Upload the attachment to:

/images/misc


Dont forget to replace fieldXX with your field number you made.

I realize its been awhile since anyone has posted here, but I've recently had a request to add such a mod and thought I'd give this one a try.

Here are the edits I've made to my postbit.
<if condition="$post['field18']"><div>Steam ID: <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/$post[field18]" target="_blank">$post[field18]</a></div></if>

I've also added the one above to add the image,
<if condition="$post[field18]">
<a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/$post[field18]" target="_blank"><img src ="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/steam.gif"border="0"alt="View Member's Steam Community Profile"></a>
</if>

However nothing is wanting to work. Does anyone notice any bonehead mistakes I've made in my edits? The field I made was field18.

[AzH]

What do you mean by "nothing wants to work"? Can you supply your URL and more information as to the issues you're having?

[DontWannaName]

Does this work on 3.8.1? I see your forum is so im guessing it does.

[AzH]

Works perfectly in 3.8.x

Nice

Nice,,

thank you..

[Paradigm]

I assume since you no longer have it on your boards that it is not working anymore? I installed it on our board, when I click on it it takes me to a steam error webpage....

[Paradigm]

Never mind, I decided to remove it all and try again and now it works.

Never mind, I decided to remove it all and try again and now it works.
