Profile Page Banner

[blind-eddie]

Changeable Member Profile Page Banner

Will work on all 3.8 series

Description: Your members can add a banner above their Profile page.
================================================== ===
Demo: http://blind-eddie.com/forum/member.php?u=1

Music will play in profile, please adjust volume before clicking.
================================================== ===
Step One:
You will need to make a new User Profile Field.

Admincp/User Profile Fields/Add New User Profile Field

Single-Line Text Box

Title: Add a banner above your profile

Description: Please add your Image URL
(Example: http://blind-eddie.com/forum/imagehosting/14f7bd890a86c3.jpg)

Field Required: No

Field Editable by User: Yes

Display Page: Edit Details


Save it Remember the field ID number, you will need it later.

================================================== ===
Step Two:

You will need to edit your MEMBERINO template.
(MAKE A BACKUP OF ANY TEMPLATE YOU EDIT BEFORE YOU EDIT IT, YOU MAY NEED IT IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE.)
Find:
$navbar

Add below:
<div align=center><if condition="$userinfo['fieldxx']"><td class="vbmenu_option"><IMG SRC="$userinfo[fieldxx]" width="600" height="150"></td></tr> </if></div>

Note: Change the xx in fieldxx to the profile field you created.
================================================== ===

As you see, I set the default Image size allowed to 600 x 150. Any image a member adds will show image at that size.
================================================== ===

Step Four: Inform your Members...Enjoy

You can click Installed above right, or you can just say Thanks blind-eddie (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=199709)
================================================== ===

Can you set the profile fields so only specified groups can use them? EDIT:

I have found this to work better on our style:

<if condition="$userinfo['fieldxx']">
<div align="center"><img src="$userinfo[xx]" width="400" height="120"></div></if>

I dont see any picture come up in FF, it is just black where the banner should probably be.

[TheInsaneManiac]

only looks good on fixed styles.

[blind-eddie]

Change width="600" height="150" to what suits your needs, or remove that line of code altogether, but keep in mind that removing it will allow members to show images of any size.

hahaha look at the thread you were looking at when you took the screen shot.

[Shaliza]

This is a cool little hack. It reminds me of the way you can add your own images/banners at the top of your profile page on Myspace.

[blind-eddie]

Thanks, If you look at the demo, you will see I moved the banner to above the navbar. To do this,

In the MEMBERINO template, find

$header

delete it.




then add the line of code list in first post.

[spirittina]

awesome thank you so much so easy to do

[blind-eddie]

no problem, glad you can use it.

[KrU$ty]

im wondering if i can use this for social groups instead, so that when a user creates a social group, the banner shows on their social group page.

[Keesa]

It would rock if your demo page worked, but the youtube vid has been ganked for copyright

[blind-eddie]

I didn't know the vid didn't work, fixed.

On your demo, are you using a hack to get the "Welcome Message area", the custom colors, usercp menu, youtube video options?? IF so, which one because I don't see those options in my usercp.

[blind-eddie]

The welcome massage area is a mod/hack that is here on vb.org.

The custom colors you see are default with vbulletin.

Usercp menu ?

You need to clarify a bit more, that is a pretty vague statement. :)

[blind-eddie]

Its just a simple template edit for VB 3.8 and below, there there's no way it can mess up your page.

[Max Taxable]

How are you able to do this, being blind and all?

[blind-eddie]

I have been ask that many times over the years...... I would say its just a screen name I used during A A. Gaming days. But the question still was ask. So I would say"Braile Monitor"

OMG this Thread help me since i am using This Mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2527369#post2527369) and didnt know how to make user to upload there own banner but i still have a little problem the banner link is showing in the About me page is there a way to make it not do that

[blind-eddie]

In your admincp/User Profile Fields/User Profile Field Manager/Add a banner above your profile,
Scroll to last section, "Display Page" in the drop down, select "Options:Other"
The banner link will not show in the About me section, it will show in the "Edit Options" page.

I will update this tomorrow to be like the 4.2.2 version.
