Same issue 4.0.7

[dacho]

looking good... thanks man

[phpdesk]

Same issue 4.0.7

Very promising mod nonetheless!

Yes, I'm aware of that and a few other small things to be taken care of, just wanted to release it so that you guys get a chance to test it. Updates will follow soon, so stand by.

P.S. fixed this one, download a fresh copy of the xml installed to update.

[Veer]

Thank you. T_STRING issue is not anymore.

[Kraxell]

tag this mod and wait some days for bug-fixing :)

[BadgerDog]

Can the input box support HTML?

Thanks ... :)

[phpdesk]

Not in this release, not yet :)
I can add it to the wishlist though.

[Taurus1]

I like it. but it does not show on my forum. On 4.0.7

It is enabled and set correctly for the usergroups.

Edit: It does show when editing profile. But not when visiting the profile page.

[Wajdan]

4.0.3...

I noticed something more. If you do not enter title intro will not show above the visitor messages.

temp fix would be add the contents from profile-intro.css to your additional.css
this is happening because you use the option save css as a file..


thanks nice mod tho
But I had to un-install till it's compatible with having save css as a file enabled

[southie]

nice mod, marked it as installed. i am trying to find where you added the code to make the memberinfo_block_intro template appear on the member.php page, can you please tell me

Please note that currently the profile intro is only viewable to logged in users. If someone wishes to change that functionality further and share the code to be added to the mod, feel free to get in touch.

[VonDoom]

Just an FYI, This Breaks the AMEFY Mod, I suppose this is a non issue for those running 4.0.5 and above as vB broke already broke the AMEFY hook.

I like it. but it does not show on my forum. On 4.0.7

It is enabled and set correctly for the usergroups.

Edit: It does show when editing profile. But not when visiting the profile page.
lol maybe you forgot to turn it on in the ACP?
~Installed ~ Rated~ Would like to see this support Img BB Code for a future release??

Would definitely install it if it supports all BBCode such as images and video and work for save CSS as a file.

[Matt51723]

This mod doesn't even show up on my profile but it's enabled and I set yes for administrators. Any ideas?

[Veer]

Any update for link bbcode correction?

[Pro-eSports.com]

Please update this mod for 100% BBCode compatibility so users can add videos and all this fancy stuff to their profile. Thanks. ;)

[Yurified]

This is awesome!! Thanks :D

Edit: Even tho some BBcodes don't work (size, color, spoiler looks weird) its great :D

[phpdesk]

Thanks for the feedback, and for the appreciation, guys.

Please keep in mind that I need to take care of other businesses as well to keep them going. There is also a good reason for the donations to be considered helpful here, too.

I'll be looking forward to releasing a new version of this hack to possibly address the existing issues, and to look into the requested enhancements, just need to find the right time for that.

Hi Naiker,

Looks like something went wrong after repeated tries to install the mod. Please get in touch via PM and let me know your yahoo or MSN id to be contacted at. I'll then get in touch and help you fix the error on your website.

I'll also work on a compatibility issue with vB4.0.8 when I get a moment.

I've been around for years, and I'm not going anywhere, SwollenCranium. I really do appreciate your donation, it's just that not everyone has learnt to at least say thank you for a free mod and try to be friendly in return. There's the weird attitude of a few members in private messaging that put me off.

Anyway, I posted a quick update to this mod so that it supports all vBulletin 4.0.x versions, including 4.0.8.

Hope you enjoy it and thanks for your interest!

[Hippy]

phpdesk thanks for your time and effort..

[phpdesk]

Could you send me a sample link to show the unusual behaviour of the intro block with customized profile pages?

phpdesk thanks for your time and effort..

You're most welcome, Hippy!

[ForenOpfer]

Could you send me a sample link to show the unusual behaviour of the intro block with customized profile pages?

I've made you a screenshot of a customized profile. As you can see the profile intro doesn't fit to the customized style. I had to change the CSS-Classes in your XML to get the profile intro readable because it's transparent. If you want to use the 50% opacity background you'll find it here (http://www.freggers-forum.de/ext/hg-opacity.png)

Installed & works.

4.0.8 LP2

Seems to be a group permission issue. I setup so only Admin , Mod, S-Mod, and a group a I made called "Community Sponsor" would have access to this & everyone else would not. But oddly enough everyone does (Registered Users, Awaiting Confirmation E-mail).

[phpdesk]

OldSchoolDSL,

I double ckecked on my test installation, and the usergroup based display filter seems to be working fine.

Now I'm wondering what I'm missing or causing it.

[phpdesk]

Now I'm wondering what I'm missing or causing it.

Are you by any chance assuming it doesn't work because of the Profile Intro Title and Profile Intro Text fields displaying for all usergroups on the Profile Edit page? That's because, as far as I'm aware, there isn't currently a way to filter custom fields by usergroups.

In this mod, restriction refers to the Profile Intro block display on the member profile page.

[basilrath]

Nice idea

I'm hoping the attached screen show will explain my thinking better.

The user profile I provided as an example is JUST a normal user. I had hope that a normal users would not be able to use this or would not be able to share this on their profile page.

[argothiusz]

Does this support Embedded Video and Picture BBCode as well?

Thanks

[8thos]

Doesn't seem to allow any bbcode at all whatsoever.

Thanks for the feedback. Well, someone could probably tell why image bbcode wouldn't work, I am not sure, unfortunately.

[MelH]

Hi Alex, thanks for a great mod..

I noticed that the Profile intro Title and Profile intro Text is repeated in the basic information part of the About Me page. Meaning when on the About Me page or to guests and not logged in members the information is on the page twice.

Should this be happening? If not can you tell me what to do to remove it in the lower section? And if so can you let me know the template to modify so I can remove it?

Thanks.. Mel

[phpdesk]

I'm still trying to understand how a few things work at vbulletin. Such as the custom stylesheet not being hooked if the admin setting to save css as file is turned on. Apparently, there is no fix for this yet, so a temporary fix for that would be moving all the contents from profile-intro.css to vbulletin.css if you wish to have the stylesheets to be saved to a file instead of load from the database.

Other two things are enablingg the img bbcode support and (per MelH's request) hiding the Profile intro Title and Profile intro Text data from the About Me tab on the Member page.

If someone can throw in some light for fixes here, I'm sure everyone will appreciate your input. I'll see what I can do as well.

Member profile intros are meant to be individual, so every member would have to set a title and intro text for the profile intro block. Blobal profile intro blocks could be achieved as simple template modifications though.

can you add this feature of having global profile intro blocks? So that i can set default message to all my members.

[Alan_SP]

Yes, that could be useful, to inform members that they have profile info block and that they can edit it. :)

[Successfulsteps]

mine isn't showing up at the top like your screenshots, and I have no idea what some of the posts are saying. I am running the latest version of vbulletin, but I put test in both places to show you and it's in the about page, not up at the top like it should be. I am going to need a bit more help probably, because I have not edited the css templates yet and am still learning. But here's what mine looks like:

You have to edit the user group options in the admincp settings.

[8thos]

BB Code works now but doesn't show for Guests.

[Miss Buruku]

Yeah, I can't get mine to form its own separate block either. Am I missing a step? I followed the dev's instructions and read this thread...

I activated it in the admin cp settings as well.

[Arcanus]

Is there a second place where the block needs to be enabled besides AdminCP->Settings->Option->Profile Intro Options as I appear part of the great unwashed masses form whom this block doesn't appear except in About Me.

I see posts mentioning "AdminCP" and that's a spot broad.

At any rate, I too installed on 4.1.4. I had tried to install while on 4.1.3 but this being my first mod I must have done something wrong, so I just reloaded up the xml and overwrote and now it works like a dream.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience, and sorry to keep you waiting for a new version of this mod. I have included a few fixes with this release, such as:

- Load CSS properly when forum stylesheets are set to be stored as files
- Display the Profile Intro block to everyone (it was previously hidden to guests)

Hope you continue to find this modification useful, thanks for installing it!

[Mr_Running]

If I may request this would be even better if the
Profile intro title was not required for it to display.

[socialteenz]

The bbcode feature is not seem to be working!

[phpdesk]

If I may request this would be even better if the
Profile intro title was not required for it to display.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see what I can do there, perhaps an admin option to either enable or disable requirement for the Profile Intro Title field.

The bbcode feature is not seem to be working!

I Just did a quick test for the [ b ] bbcode and it worked. As far as I'm aware that [ img ] bbcode is failing but I haven't found a solution to that yet, sorry.

Profile Intro Text not required for it to display.

Therefore if it's filled out the other will display. :)

That's great if a user does not fill one of the areas...

Good point, really.

[Reizar]

Love the plugin, if you could fix the [img] bb code not working that would be great. My members would really like to use images in that area.

[erosolmi]

I would like to see a kind of protection in order not to allow new users to be able to set their profile info until they reach a minimum number of posts. Otherwise it would result into a too dangerous way to post spam info.

Thanks a Lot

[Hippy]

Something weird..

pictures will explain better..

after adding this mod it changed all the you tube titles to Profile Intro Title (see pic)

also when you use customize your profile .. this box does not change with the theme you create..(See Pic)..

thanks

[phpdesk]

Something weird..

Thanks for reporting this, I'll check it out and hopefully a patch will come out really soon.

[phpdesk]

Something weird..

Meanwhile, I've discovered that extra phrases are added to the language database during the mod installation that are not necessary. It's frustrating but I can't seem to lookup for a quick fix, besides I've been working on a fresh build of this mod and would rather focus on that instead of trying to fix a version that will soon become obsolete.

What you can do to fix the problem in your case is click on every profile field in the admincp and update there, once saved it will display properly both in the backend and in the front end.

Hope this helps.

I have actually addressed the CSS issue in version 1.0.3 of the mod, and it's no longer a problem if you choose to save the stylesheets as files. Nonetheless, you're a hero, you know that? Your other quote pointed me to the right direction as far as the profile field phrases are concerned, and this is what you need to REMOVE from the .xml file before reimporting it:

No, no need to remove anything, just reimport the xml product file and make sure "Allow Overwrite" is checked. This should fix the issue.

Hello phpdesk, thanks alot for sharing this mod.

I have 402 version and the Intro Block doesn't show up as it should be it shows no frame as this img indicates :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2105071&postcount=8

I hope you can helo me sort this out.

[Winter Sonata]

I have the latest version of your mod as well.

[phpdesk]

I have the latest version of your mod as well.

I'll try to install a test version of vB 4.0.2 and see what could possibly be going on there, although my schedule is quite tight at the moment (working on another mod).

Anyway, by the look of the screenshot, you're having the CSS-not-loading issue. Are you having your forum set up to store CSS as files? I have addressed this particular issue recently, and tested it working with the latest version of vBulletin. Is there a particular reason why you aren't upgrading yours?

[Mr_Running]

Hey phpdesk love the mod. :) When you get a chance please add post #102 :)

[halocommunity]

This is a fantastic mod! It will become the focus in the profiles of all my members.

The [img] tag does not work. Not sure why; I wish I was better at this stuff so I could help you figure out how to fix it.

Thanks, I hope someone closer to the core vB code could stop by and tell us what we're missing about the [img] bbcode support here.

[halocommunity]

Thanks, I hope someone closer to the core vB code could stop by and tell us what we're missing about the [img] bbcode support here.
I came up with a workaround until the [img] bbcode is fixed.

I made a custom bbcode called "Picture" just for the sole purpose of allowing images with this addon.

Custom BBCode Settings:
Title: Picture
BB Code Tag Name: pic
Replacement:<img src="{param}" />
Disable Automatic Link Parsing: YES

You can see an example on my forum:
http://halocommunity.com/forums/member.php/1-HC-kegonomics%E2%84%A2

Images can stretch out past the right border of the Profile Intro with the above code. My forum has a fixed width of 1000px, so I edited the bbcode to resize an image wider than the width allowed by the Profile Intro box.
<img src="{param}" style="max-width: 698px;
/* Resize the image for IE6 */
width: expression(this.width > 698 ? 698: true);" />

Replace the RED text with the size you want.

[phpdesk]

Thanks for the nice suggestion, halocommunity!

[Mr_Running]

Image tag works for me but I really like the Picture tag because with the fix for larger
pictures/ Images stretching out past the border.

@halocommunity Nice workaround :)


@phpdesk
On another note: View your "About Me" as seen by everyone else

It would be better if this was not viewable by others...only the user and maybe the admin and mods :)

Profile Intro Title:
---Title here ---

Profile Intro Text:
---Text image / pic here---

[Dennis B]

phpdesk,

Thanks for the mod.

In the image below, a regular member is looking at the admin's profile page, "About Me" tab.
You can see that your block displays normally at the top, but the fields that were created are repeated below. Maybe defining the new user profile fields created by this hack as "editable, hidden" the actual owner of the profile can still view/edit it, but it does not show like that in the public profile except within your box.

Edit: This is same problem Mr. Running just reported above. :)

[Mario118]

PhPDesk,

Excellent mod. I rarely take the time to post on here, but this one deserved an applause. It gives it that old Myspace feel. I was curious if someone could help me out on the correct style code to edit to be able to place perhaps a box around my welcome message, or perhaps some sort of other display to make it stand out more.

Thanks for the kind words, Mario. Don't forget to mark as installed to continue to receive support for this mod, anyway in order to enhance the look and feel of the profile intro block, you may wish to edit the following templates: "memberinfo_block_intro" and "profile-intro.css".

All you need there is some basic html knowledge and good imagination, so good luck :up:

[Mr_Running]

I realize phpdesk maybe doing a re-build but until then I would like my users to know that this works. :)

Anyone know what to change to have the Profile Intro Text not required for it to display?
If user just fill out the title = Title will display.

[phpdesk]

Check this out. In version 1.0.4 Profile Intro Text is already set to display even if user has not entered a Profile Intro Title. In the mod attached below I've also removed the requirement for a Title, hope this is what you were after.

Cheers.

Almost but it remove the footer links in the profile ( contact us, top etc..)
footer_links


Edit:
It's okay when the admin's profile is viewed but not the members profile

I did the following. Enabled the mod for Registered users. Created a standard user, filled the Profile Intro Title and Text fields with values. And then checked the profile page. All seems fine. Besides, as far as I'm aware, my mod cannot interact with the footer links in any way. Are you sure it isn't another product installed in your vbulletin?

[Mr_Running]

Update: It appears to effect members that are using Profile Intro Title only.

I've seen that. Weird.

My forum's working good with profile intro, including img but not video (ex: youtube)

In regards to the footer any fix ?

I see what the error is, you might have to manually remove some entries from the database. If you could private message me the access details to the database admin consoler (phpmyadmin, usually) I would do the cleaning task for you.

[angeljs]

Okay, I managed to clear the database, but I'd tried so many times to install it that I ended up with about 50 blank extra profile fields! I had to un-install, delete all of the extra profile fields, then re-install, and now everything's fine. :)

[Ratta]

This is a known issue, unfortunately there has been no feedback from any of the vbulletin developers as to why img bbcode would not work.


Hello :)

I've installed the Mod and i say it works greatfull. And i can use the img bbcode in the Profile Intro.

You must Activate the Option: Using BBcode out of Forum under Vbulletin Option --> text: BB-Code.

Sry for my Bad English. It's only German Scool English

Greatings

[Alan_SP]

You must Activate the Option: Using BBcode out of Forum under Vbulletin Option --> text: BB-Code.

Just to stress it out:

Go to ACP->Options->BB Code Settings->Allow [IMG] Code in Non Forum Specific Areas->Set it to YES.

And yes, this solves problem of images not appearing. :up:

Yes, credits given to Ratta, too. Thanks again.

[Alan_SP]

Forgot to mention and now to report you:

I tested how this mod handles HTML code. And with first try I was "lucky". I used this HTML code:

<vb:if condition="$post['isfirstshown']">
<div align="right"><b>Share thread with your friends:</b><br />
{vb:raw thread.qr}
</div>
</vb:if>

When I put this in my profile intro text, my profile becomes unreachable, like it's wrong link used in browser (page doesn't exist error in browser).

Also, when I removed some of HTML codes, it was parsed strangley: < becomes &lt etc.

Could you please check code, make it HTML proof so people could use HTML and that it don't makes their profiles unreachable. Of course, when I say that people could use HTML, I don't mean that HTML code functions like HTML code (as this is a big security issue), just that it's parsed in right way (that you can see what HTML text was used) without effect on server, or profile showing. That is, HTML code stays just as it was entered, like in all other posts.

[Vito93]

Database error as resolved? :(

Is there any possibility to add some images?

We would like to use this as a user notes system for staff to add Notes too and then see them quick and easy on members profile pages,Would there be a way to stop All members and guests seeing this info so just the staff groups would have access to it??

[Alan_SP]

Well, this should be a new mod, or just template change, not sure at the moment. :)

But it couldn't be done with this mod without changing it's code, as this mod only shows what every user has set for it's profile intro.

Thinking about it, it maybe could be done with template change, adding it in iframe inside conditionals to enable seeing it to certain usergroups?

EDIT: I was intrigued enough that I made template modification using IFRAME: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=278884 :up:

You could decide which usergroups see user notes and if it is above or below user's profile tabs.

Wow thank you alan Star man!!!!:up:

[kamran_dotnet]

anyone test "Member Profile Intro" in vbulletin 4.2 ?

[Paul.]

This is great and stops you getting a lot of stupid questions!

One question from me though, can the box it's in be modified to match a profile customization?

PS I'm using 4.2.0 and it works just fine.

[Cognitio]

I've decided to add some additional fields to help with what I wish to do with this mod, but when trying to get a multi-select custom field to display as it does in the member.php profile it just comes up blank. Any idea? Do I have to create some kind of array to include 'selected' options of the multi-select? Here's a screenshot of what I have setup:
http://www.prosoundportal.com/images/problem.jpg
Yellow is the title, it displays
Blue is the link, it turns the title into a link to the user's site
Green is location, a simple text field
Purple is the text field, or description
Red is the issue, it's the multi-select option. As you can see in the profile, it displays each option separated by a comma, but when doing a direct call to the profile intro, it's blank.

Any assistance would be awesome, thanks in advance.

Edit: Ive fixed the displaying issue, but it still only templates the binary code of a multi_select instead of the independent selected values. I understand the values are stored in exponentially (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc), but I can't figure out how to template it correctly.

[Cognitio]

Is there any support on this mod?

[angeljs]

For some reason the styling doesn't look right, not sure what's happened! :(

[angeljs]

It's okay, I just un-installed then re-installed and now it works :)

[Naijasite]

is working well on 4.2.0 check www.naijafinder.com .

See how it looks like here http://www.naijafinder.com/member1.html

[Toorak Times]

I have it working on 4.2 but can't sort out the bbcode to work

[osix]

i try installing but i got this error


Warning: mysqli_query() [function.mysqli-query]: (23000/1062): Duplicate entry 'profileintro_titlefield' for key 'PRIMARY' in [path]/includes/class_core.php on line 1391

[Speedy131]

it's working in 4.1.10
however there's a small issue with it showing &quot; instead of "
it makes for example BB codes for font color not work and urls don't work

if you leave out all " from the text you enter in the box, then it works
been trying to modify the code in the Profile: Display Intro Block plugin to make it stop doing that, but so for without result (my php knowledge is very limited)

[XGC Paravain]

2 questions first will this work on 4.2.0? Second can I use this block to display usergroup banners?

[Snowhog]

This is a 'value added' feature. Thank you for creating it. Installed on our vBulletin 4.2.0 PL2 forum.

Working fine on 4.2 mate Not too sure about using it for banners but you can try.

[XGC Paravain]

I have my banner on my profile as on screen shot
But I want to put it on the right side above the visitors message box and link the usergroup banners with their clan forums

[ti6]

All worked fine on VBulletin 4.2 Patch 3. Then i accidentially deleted the Profilefields. Tryed to re-imported the XML file again but nothing showed up. I even cant uninstall it its sais "Cant delete Table 19" and a long Errormessage. Can somebody help me?
