As dandy fine as this was, it never felt right for a car forum:

Version 1, about 15 mins worth of work tonight

http://www.hrfbody.com/member.php?u=1

I really like CodeRed's layout as shown in post 524 - it's clean and logical and uses both the avatar and the photo. It unfortunately doesn't show a person's friends / buddies and vbJournal entries. imported_infitech's layout is also really cool!

How about starting off a new thread so that people can show off their implimentations of this mod and maybe even share their MEMBERINFO template edits with others.

They have been already doing that in this thread, that is what this is about!

I'm trying to get my head around this (taken from the installation instructions):

Download the .htaccess file I have attached and place it in your forum's root folder. This will give you those wonderful links for the usernames. ex. www.yourdomain.com/forums/stangsta

First off I'm ussing IIS on Windows Server 2003 so there's no .htaccess file - I use ISAPI Rewrite.

What does the contents of the .htaccess file really do? I understand that it's supposed to be enable you to use nice URLS like www.yourdomain.com/forums/stangsta - but how does the webserver tie up member.php?u=1 to www.yourdomain.com/forums/stangsta? In other words how does it know that u=1 belongs to stangsta or vice versa?

I was under the impression this was more of a support thread than a 'show off my site' thread. This thread's already 37 pages long - many people who are new to this thread are not likely to read all 37 pages (more in the future). In my opinion it would make better sense to have two different threads - one support one 'show off my site'.

It wont work on Windows, sorry.

As far a s the logic behind the .htaccess file, the u=1 is tied to the username via the database. The same way a variable $username would know.

If you dont want to read all 37 pages....use the "search this thread" button.

ugh? thanks for the heads up? lemme know what u tweaked so that I can correct it on my end as well if you don?t mind?


thanks a ton? I think I have it parsed but im not sure why its not picking it up. I?ll relook at it as well


thanks? my profile page is an accumulation of various bits and pieces from other members that posted their work in the original myspace profile thread? so I cant take credit for all of it?


Thanks again guys?

anyone know how to add a different Instant messaging system to VB? Im looking to add one called ?Hello? released by Picasa which is very helpful to use photographers since we can view the pics realtime and discuss them etc? I?d like to add it to our forum to make it work much like AOLIM and MSN Messenger etc works?

It does work if you're running ISAPI Rewrite.

It's not a case of me using the "search this thread" button... you missed the point I was trying to make - you'll have more happy users of this mod if there was a sepearate thread for them to boast / show off their hard work. Just my 2p worth.

When I created all the extra profile fields - for the ones that are drop down boxes I also included the option of choosing 'Rather not say'. What would be great is if the content for a field is 'Rather not say' then that entire line (including the subject title) is not displayed when viewing that person's profile.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me some help... I want to put the section into two columns so that each user's personal information is nicely aligned.

I guess to do this I need to create a table - my problem is I 'm not hot on tables and can't get it right. Here's the code from my template that creates the "user's information" block:

I've created a field allowing my users to include URLs to all of their online profiles. The input field is a multi-line free text block. My users are entering each URL on a new line. When viewing this field on their profile it appears as one hyperlink which is made up of all the URLs strung together.

Is there any way to make this a different URL for each line?

I'm no coder but I've been thinking about this... this value is held in the PhotoPost database isn't it? Have you 'told your code' that it needs to be looking in another database?

ReviewPost (made by the same people who make PhotoPost) has it's own showmember page at /reviews/member.php?uid=x which shows the following info:
Number of products uploaded
Number of reviews posted
Last product uploaded
Last review posted

I'd like to be able to also include this information in the 'forum information' block of a person's profile (at the moment it only shows links relating to the forum section of a site).

Thanks. Too bad it doesnt inspire people to join my forums and post something for a change. I've seen people run a forum for 2 months and get more members and posts than i've had in 3 years.

if it makes ya feel better... i just signed up... ill post a few things in the photog section... :D

EDIT:
one thing i noticed is that you member gallery links listed in the profile pagelead to:
should be something like...
i guess the "107" will be "?" or something like that... im no coder... i just plug n play until it works... hehe

imported_infitech: Your post #557 in this thread... I had the </tr> at the end of the code - I probably didn't 'grab it' when I did a copy and paste of the code. It's kind of hard to describe what I'm trying to achieve so I'll do it this way... Imagine this is my text block in a browser:

(Column 1) (Column 2)
Profession: Techie
Age: 37
Sex: Male

(Except in my example above I can't get the '37' and 'Male' to line up underneath each other)

It's the CSS table properties that I'm now having problems with.

If I don't include <td class="alt1"> then the background for that section is white instead of taking on the colour properties of the rest of my skin. The other problem I have is that there's now a full line break in between each of the table rows. Take a look at the attachment to see what I mean.

My 'alt1' has a border around it so I guess I need to define a new 'altX' which has no border. I've created 'alt9' by adding the following line to the 'additional CSS definitions section of my forum skin:
.alt9 { background-color: #F1F1F1; color: #000000; }

My 'alt1' has boders - I assume because of:
border-left: 1px solid #dddbdb;
border-top: 1px solid #dddbdb;

My 'alt9' seems to be producing a border - I'm not sure where it's getting this from.

The 'user's favourite things' section has had tables applied yet - you can see how each line runs on one from the other without any line breaks... that's how I'd like the first section (that I'm applying tables to) to look.

The <table> that the <td>s are in has padding properties. It is not a line break. You have borders ther ebecause trhe <table> itself has borders.

I'm getting somewhere but I still have the 1px white border around each occurence of <td> - see the attachment.

Here's my 'alt9' CSS settings:

Well, today I finished upgrading my site's engine, so I decided to start again on the CSS problems that I'd been having.

Would it change things if my CSS field hadn't been parsed? I'm thinking that that was my problem, the whole time.

What are the cellpadding and cellspacing attributes for the table?

Id bet it was cellspacing

Yeah, 99% sure it was. Just trying to give him a gentle push in the right direction.

I tired setting the 'cellspacing' to 0px but that didn't help - maybe I didn't format it correctly?

I might keep the lines... they're thin and some people may say that it helps them 'read along the line'.

I would keep them. I like the spacing

by the way guys becareful with your queries when you do this hack! cause this loadssssss up servers....mine was like 40 queries had to remove a bunch!

make sure you keep it simple not too many installed hack

Definitely. It creates separation which makes it easier to read and I've always thought it looks more professional.

hy there,

is it possible that each user can manage his own background?
or is the background pic set once for all users?

thx!

i found it, sorry :bunny:

I have the comment system installed with this and it does not work when I post a comment.

Did you set the usergroup permissions?

Yes I set them up, double checked them. It gives no errors or anything. It just goes back to the profile.

I just looked at the code and ran a test $vbulletin->GPC['do'] is comming in blank...

Edit: I just edited my memberstart part changed if ($vbulletin->GPC['do']== 'insertcomment') to if ($_REQUEST['do']== 'insertcomment') and it is working.

Have anybody got the solution for the Member URL rewrite on a lighttpd working server?

Ive been toying with trying to make this work for my needs but after playing with some ajax I decided to go a diffrent route with this layout. Right now its ruff and all the functions need to be added but the concept is there.

Visit the meberlist and select a user. I am going to add this functionality to the PM feature as well so a user never has to leave the current page they are view to view a profile or send a pm.

Geez, I love the idea. But thats going to take me forever to accomplish. By question... Is some one going to comeup with a similar Search/ Browse profiles to add to this?

Oh don't underestimate me...I'm going to definitely give it my best shot.
