View Full Version : Multi-page user profile. How?

So how would I go about creating a multi-page user profile.

I want to implement something that looks like this. (http://www.torquecentral.com/members/mbaskett/test/member.htm)

So that when you click on the links along the top of thier profile, it takes you to its respective section with all the info pulled out of the database user table and other associated tables.

Would I be able to use different actions instead of getinfo, use something like getpart for the participation, or would it be better to add another variable on top of using the getinfo and add someting like &page=particpation.

I'm also assuming that I'd have to change the templates quite a bit and have the main getinfo template make calls to others that would do most of the display.......

I'm new to major hacks like this, so I'm sure I'll be fuddling around with it for a while, but any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

The WEBTemplates hack will do this for you...just do a search for it....

maybe I wasn't too clear in my question... I've read through the WEBTemplates hack many times before, but I don't think it's going to let me do just what I'm looking for...

I just want a user to have an extended profile (which they can configure in their userCP) that I can have display as multiple pages... all that have the same look as the normal profile....each divided into their category respectively...

Ok...gotcha...this is a very simple hack to implement...it requires additional templates and some simple coding added to the member.php file. PM me with what you are looking for and I will help you.

Thanks, Dark_Wizard... I'm sending you a PM with what I'm looking to do... so of it may be a bit complex, so I'll try to be as descriptive as possible.....

Yea...I got you PM and it is bigger than what I thought. Why don't you use existing tables and create new profile fields and simplify this a little more. The way you want it turns it into a bigger hack and alot more coding. Going by way of profile fields makes this hack open to others instead of just your site.
