Thats because myspace codes wont work, you have to write your own CSS

i.e.

.thead
.alt
.alt2

Neat mod, installed!

However, it would've been nice to see in the original post that you must have a paid mod (vba image gallery) installed and that there is no comment system. The screenshots are mis-leading, half way through the install I found myself searching this stuff out.

Profile wont update after filling out the info can someone please help

The comment system is available through my installs. And you can use any gallery you want, just change the link in the MEMBERINFO to fit the gallery you use....even the free one.

Stangsta I would hope that your working on a version 2 of this hack with the disappointing ( atleast to me ) news about the other myspace hack in mod discussion catagory. Central server.... Blah!

Version 2 can be done if there was an interest. But, it doesnt seem like there is enough interest to warrant the work. I have alot of ideas for it, but I dont think it would be worth all the time just for a handful of people.

Help...

This is not working. $comment_panel

Do I need to install download something else to make it work?

If you dont have the comment system, it wont work.

I'm definitely interested! :)
Time for others to raise their hands to show their interst in version 2...

I would make the install a 1 product install, along with incorporating feature requests and cleaning up the code of v.1 You would however still have to edit the memberinfo template, but I would make it alot easier to add the profile fields.

If there was to be a v.2, what changes or features would everyone like to see in it?

1:1 MySpace Clone,non centralized. :banana:


Ill make a list of features that ive read through the other thread and ones on here and PM you it.

My apologies if this was answered and I missed it, but does anyone know the answer to this question?

There is a stand alone hack to add multiple profile pictures on vb.org, but its busch league if you ask me. I will try to find the link.

Try this:

Stangsta... and anyone else reading this... I'll be d*mned if I'll ever support the vBspace crooks. So count me in for doing whatever I can to support your social networking mods. vBulletin is an amazing framework, and I believe it can totally crush MySpace in terms of usability and user satisfaction. But NO WAY is that worth serving up our members to a centralized corporate structure. Ok... I don't wanna be preachy here... just showing my respect and support for you and your mods further development.

Thanks for the link. I will check it out. :)

I have installed this and it is working great! What I want to do now is create a button for my menu system (I have a flash based header for a menu system) that will take the user to their profile page. What I need is the appropriate code i.e something like
How do I do that?

If you've put the .htaccess file in place http://mysite.com/forums/username will work.

Sorry, I figured I wasn't very clear on what I mean't. I do have the .htaccess file and it works fine. What I want to be able to do is have a button on my menu that will take the user directly to his/her profile page. It would have to be some sort of "dynamic" link since there is no way to know the particular user. I am no coder and have limited knowledge of http protocol, but it would seem to me to be something like
Basically, I need to dynamically call up the userid (based on the person logged in) into the url. Or is this even possible?

You could try this:

There's also a 'edit my profile' link mod available (I don't remember the URL) whoich is shown to users if they're viewing their own profile.

Thanks, I will give this a try!

Criscokid, yeah I've seen this link and that's cool too. What Stangsta is giving me is in all probability what I need. Since with the comment system I have there is no way of knowing you've received a comment without going to your profile, I wanted to provide a quick way for users to access it (most won't think to use the Quick Links pull down menu).

Thanks again, and thanks to everyone here who has contributed to making this hack. I have "installed" and would definately vote for it as hack of the year.

Now if only the "comments" problem could be ironed out for everyone. Can't wait to see it, may upgrade if I likey!

Well, it didn't work. I tried disabling the .htaccess file and that didn't work either. I get the error "Sorry, this user does not exist..."

Any other ideas?

Before you click the link take a look at what the actual URL is (right click, 'copy shortcut') of the link then post that here.

In my particular case, it is embedded in a flash file. But I tried it also as an html code and as BBcode, none of them work.

The url I'm using is

Since this site (vBulletin.org) is the same it should work here as well (modified of course), so let's try it...

Using this code
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]

When you click that link, you'll get this error:

This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view.

What are the right permissions? I only saw settings which seem to be harmless:

Can comment on profiles? Yes No
Can this usergroup view comments? Yes No
Can usergroup delete their own comments? Yes No
Can report comments? Yes No
Can edit their own comments? Yes No

Even if you set everything to yes, there should be no problem. Am I missing anything?

Going way back for this one. Can't figure out what's wrong. I have parsed all of the fields that are multi-line text fields and double checked them and they are all correct. But when I place an image file in the [img] tags all it does is make it a link. Rather odd, because in the regular forum posts, it works fine.

This is a sample of my parser plug-in code

And yes, I have duplicated this for all of the fields I want parsed, and double checked to make sure all fields are changed to the values I need.

Can usergroup delete their own comments? Yes No

You call that harmless? Put that in the hands of your members...see what happens. :) Also, mods and admins have full delete permissions.

I might have misunderstood the setting. I thought that everyone of the usergroup can delete his own comments, not the comments of other users of the same usergroup. Therefore it would have been their own fault. They should not be surprised about missing entries, because they deleted the entries themselves.

And if a mod or an admin deletes entries, it should be no surprise for the admin. He should know that the entries have been deleted on purpose.

So, I still wonder why several vB admins have reported this. Either there is really a bug or they have been just lazy to investigate the problem carefully.

Try again.

I need help with the parse code plug-in. I have created the plug-in (I call it Profile Field Parser) in the member_complete hook per instructions. My code is arranged as follows:

I copied and pasted that code several times, changing the fieldx value to reflect the fields I need parsed.

My problem is that images aren't appearing. It just converts the file path to a link which of course when clicked shows the image in another browser window. I can't figure out what is wrong, because the use of the [IMG] tag works elsewhere on the site just fine. Is the product location of the plug-in wrong? I have it in vBulletin.

Its either conflicting with something else on your site OR you dont have it in the MEMBER_COMPLETE hook location.

I guess its conflicting with something else. It is in the MEMBER_COMPLETE hook.

I am having the same problem.
Any Ideas or suggestions?

I want to put a link in my index page straight to their user profile and I keep getting that the user is not registered... Please help.

Thank you,
Ella

When my users put in CSS, the "who has viewed member profile" stops working. Is there an easy fix for this?

so.. after 50 pages. can anyone suggest if this is worth installing on my site?

there seems to be a few issues in here. Most of my members dont know how to use quick reply let alone input CSS values.

Well, that kinda depends. I just recently installed this on my site and am still playing with it. The hard part is getting the comments section. But even without it, like someone else posted, its still better than the vBulletin default profile pages. It is a tedious task doing this install and isn't for the faint of heart. But the plus side is if you're like me and still learning how it all works, its an invaluable tool! I've learned more about the nuts and bolts of how vBulletin works doing this install than anything I've done so far!

As for users actually using it? Well, like anything new, it takes a little time. But look at myspace.com. People seem to be doing quite well learning it!

Lastly, my opinion on the whole css issue. I disabled it. I use multiple skins on my site and have found that customizing a page with css may look good for one skin and absolutely horrid on another.

Good luck with whatever you decide! And remember, this whole thing is being completely redeveloped, so you might want to just wait!

Hi Stangsta
No the permissions were set properly. This is what I had in the usergroup ...

Can comment on profiles? Yes
Can this usergroup view comments? Yes
Can usergroup delete their own comments? Yes
Can report comments? Yes
Can edit their own comments? Yes

It doesn't say anywhere Can this group delete other's comments or edit? or did I miss something here?

As an admin I had an account for myself just a regular registered user for testing things. The the registered users weren't able to delete other's comments. I tested myself ... I'm positive for whatever reason they were dissapearing by them selves.

To be honest I didn't regret buying the script from Visionscripts. My users love it very much. They getting pm notification each time they get a new comment and plus. I manually transfered all the comments over to the new script and I feel very happy about it.

actually only my admins profiles are showing.

Im glad to hear that. Would you mind sharing how and what steps you took to move the comments over to help others that would like to go the same route as you?

Sure not a problem .... Before I go to sleep tonight I will show you ...

Stupid me finally figured it out! If you go to your navbar template, scroll down to where you find the following:
This is where the "Quick Links" pull down menu begins. Scroll down further and find
That's the link that will take you to your profile. So to add this as a regular menu item, simply add the following code where you want it to appear in your nav bar
Note that it starts <td class="vbmenu_control">, not <td class="vbmenu_option">Also, don't put the <tr> tags in there! You can also feel free to change the variable $vbphrase[my_profile] to whatever you want (such as just "My Profile").

Good luck!
