[Tweak] Make Your Member Profile A Popup Window

[mashby]

Author: mashby

Description: This will teach you how to make the username in your postbit a link. When selected, it opens the Member Profile page in a pop-up window.

Demo: NPUG.org Demo (http://npug.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12207) - Click on the user name, or avatar in the postbit.

Note: This template mod can be modified to work in other templates as well. :)

Andromeda - actually, the layout of my Member Profile (getinfo template) is based on another template mod. You can find it at this link (http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=96).

All my template mod does is make the link a popup window.

[Hagi]

that is nice. will install soon.

Man this is a BEAUTIFUL modification :) Thank you very much!

Is it possible you can show us what to do exactly to change the links from Send user email & Send user PM from the text that is there now to buttons?

Thank you! :D

Glad you like the tempate mod. :)

For the e-mail button, I had to hard code it. Meaning that I simply included a an <img> tag for the button itself. I wanted to make it conditional, like the PM button, but I can't do it without a hack.

For the PM button, this is the code in the "getinfo" template

$userinfo[sendpm]

and in the "getinfo_pm" template I have the following:

<a href="private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newmessage&userid=$userinfo[userid]">
<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/images/sendpm.gif" border="0"></a>
<a href="private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newmessage&userid=$userinfo[userid]">
Send a Private Message!</a>

OT but cute buttons in the profile :)

[Heineken]

Thanks bro :) The PM thing worked sweet!

Just wondering how I would be able to hardcode the Email button in? I have no clue about HTML :(

Thanks again!!
Heineken

[Heineken]

wooohooo! i just learned a lesson in html :)

I figured it out! Thanks, I love this hack! :D Sexy buttons :p

[mashby]

Heineken - thanks! Glad you figured it out. :)

[Heineken]

So am I :) Thanks!

btw just have 2 small questions.

1 - How can I make the Group name colors change? For example, Mod is in green in here as well as in the profile page. Is there a link to a mod for this?

2 - Is there a template for the postbit you guys use here. Exactly the same looking available, or not released? :) Just curious

Thanks again!

1. I think that's a hack and not a template mod. So, you'll have to check vBulletin.org for that hack, since it's not supported here.

2. There's not an "exact" copy of SaintDog's postbit, but this mod (http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=185) is about as close as you can get. :)

[Heineken]

Thanks again Mash :)

SaintDog...if you give me the "exact" copy of your postbit would you have to kill me? lol j/k ... I definately understand :D

Cheers!
Heineken

[mashby]

Heineken,

Saintdog has already stated that he's not releasing any images, or styles from vBT. I know you were only kidding, but you don't want to to poke the tiger on this one.

[Dizzy]

thats a great idea my friend! :) lol
you could really spice that up.... **imagines**

[Heineken]

lol! thanks for the warning.

sorry saintdog ... hope ya have a sense of humor ;)

I came up with this tweak by myself, but it's not rocket science, so anyone could have had the same idea. :)

It would appear that you haven't made it a pop-up window. You need to include the javascript that creates the new window and sizes it on the forum display page as well.

[imported_XrayHead]

Nice mod indeed, will install this first on my test board.
:D

[Silver740]

Great one!

[Slug]

cool

[mashby]

Thanks guys, I'm glad you all like it. :)

[macuzzi]

nice works :)

[Orfejs]

Wow

[8ball]

nice one ;)

[narusaga]

there.....I installed it *grins*. Works A-O-K! :)

EDIT: :D wow, it also makes everything look good :p

[imageconstrux]

I'm wondering if I'm not getting something -

I took a look at the sample links on page one, and the member profile isn't a pop-up. The link opens a page in the same window.

Have I overlooked something?

Jeff

[mashby]

No, I've recently upgraded my forums and along the way, I'm cleaning up some code. The pop-up code is not working at the present time. It should be fixed by the end of the week.

[:Judge:]

Come back to edit this.

I have the members linked to the memberlist and linked post to the top 20 posters page, however, I would still like to know how I can get the pop up for top thread starter.

Thanks :D
