Bloody amazing.
But then again, most if not all of your hacks and mods are, amykhar.
This newb gratefully clicks installed:)

i'd really appreciate some help with this fab mod! i have done all the steps to install, but STILL dont see it showing up. I tried rebuilding bitfields, but im not convinced its working.

im using 3.5 - how do i rebuild bitfields? im having to use a direct url.

id appreciate any help.. i need to get this done asap :(

Go through the steps and make sure you uploaded the XML (bitfields_userpage) to the correct folder (/includes/XML). The rebuild bitfields link is the same for 3.5

Is the Product showing up in your Product Manager?

Did you upload userpage.php to your /forum root?

Have a couple of Q's on this addon

Is the htaccess nessecary as I dont think IIs uses htaccess ?
Any known IIs issues with it ?
Hows it looking in vb 3.5.4 or is it stuck on 3.5.1 for now ?

TIA :)

I love this. So much.
*bows down to your genius* ;)

I have a quick question. I created a userpage under a test account on my site, and now I want to remove that test page. How do I go about doing that? I don't see any options to delete a page in the USER CP or the Admin CP.

Thanks

Roody, did you do the patches listed in the post I linked in the first post of the thread? If you did, there should be delete link on the page.

.htaccess is only needed if you want the ability to do:

www.yoursite.com/username
or www.yoursite.com/forum/username to access userpages.

Works fine with 3.5.4 (I have it installed on both 3.5 and 3.5.4 (test forum)).

I missed it originally, but I appreciate you pointing it out. The problem is resolved now.

Thanks amykhar. :)

Shame its Linux only :(

Please PM me if you rewrite without the HTaccess file :confused:

I installed this and it seems to work fine. The problem that I went to delete a userpage. It asked me if I was sure. I told it "Yes" and it said I do not have permission to access this page.

I am an administrator. I have modified the admin group to be allowed to moderate and edit pages.

Ideas?

bitg, you need to at least read the first post in the thread before asking questions. A link to the patches is clearly posted in the first post.

The htaccess is only for the shorter urls. It's not necessary to use at all. I don't know how to do the short urls on an IIS server as I've not really played with IIS until recently.

How can I make it so that the link only shows up in the member information if they actually have a userpage?

D'Oh! Thank you

Where do I put this info? In the VBSEO config (where)?. Do I edit the userpages.php file?

Amy, this is an awesome addon. Thank you.

Are there any addons for it yet. I would like to see:

picture uploading
favorite links
most popular threads user is involved it
threads user has started

I;'d like some of the bugs fixed like the inability to delete archived user shouts.

I love this hack and want to install it on my forum. :) My Admin assistant is concerned about how much of our web space it would take up and especially if 50-100 people created their own page. It was my understanding that the userpage would be text only and all graphics are uploaded. Are there any stats on approximately how much web space these pages use?

As of now, they are text only - no graphics other than files uploaded in some other manner. I have not found these pages to be any worse than a post or thread in size.

I'm going to ask my question again, and expand on it. On the page that lists all the userpages, is it possible to make it sortable? I'm thinking by Date Modified, rating, and even page views (as opposed to just alphebetic). Seems like it would be a simple hack, but I have no idea how to do it.

Thank you, Amy. We will most likely install this.:)

I did not notice this before. My users just told me.

When a user tries to create a page via the UserCP, it tells them they do not have the appropriate access to do this. Then it removes the option from there UserCP. It does create the page, however, but does not give them access to make changes.

Ideas?

BTW, the Usergroup "Registered Users" is set to "Yes" for "Can View Userpages" and "Can Create Userpages".

Perhaps a dumb question, but do you give them permission to edit their pages too? (Edit means edit their own page, not others).

No I did not. That was not the impression of what that was that I had. I thought that meant that they could edit other pages. Maybe the "moderate" option should be at the bottom of the list and the "Can Edit Userpages" should say "Can Edit Own Userpage".

Yes, it's a bit confusing. I will add this issue to my 'update' page and hopefully others can avoid this situation. Glad it's working for you now.

Hi,

Looks like a great mod. Does this work with VB 3.5.0? Just double checking before I make the dive.

Cheers,

Iv

I'm not sure. Bitfields changed how they worked at some point, and I'm not sure what version number that happened at.

Yes, it still works with 3.5.0 (I haven't **gasp** upgraded to the latest version of VB yet).

Thanks Chris! Will report back after the install. Cheers, Ivan

Things seems to work fine after following the instructions and running admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields . Only thing I dont quite get is that the Views is still showing 0 ("Views: 0") even after I looked at it. Peace, Ivan

It doesn't track the user's views of his own page.

are there any plans to enhance this mod to allow users to add RSS feeds to their home pages..much like the way Google and Yahoo do?

thanks

Is there a way to stop people using flash on their pages?

Anarchy,

I simply came up with a set of "rules" for my site's User Pages (No flash, redirects, banner ads, etc). I think you could literally go crazy trying to come up with patches and fixes to prevent malicious content, but it comes down to having proper supervision and reporting in place for your userpages. I use User Pages for 'Premium' members that donate to the website and they are much more likely to 'stay in line' as far as rules go as opposed to the GP (General Public).

I think having the flexibility in the pages is great, but it certainly takes more time on the Admin end of things to make sure they aren't being abused.

Incidently, do you run VMKForums? Many of my site members are members there as well ... (Visionsfantastic.com is my site)

Hi, I need the userpages to be accessable from www.howto.ws/userpage/username.html instead of http://www.howto.ws/userpage.php?userid=1. How can I do this? I have been researching this all afternoon and I now know that I need to set up mod_rewrite rules. I was wondering what you used for the mod_rewrite .htaccess file on your site, Amy.

Yeah we have a set of rules implemented, and only premium donating members get a page, so there is little chance of anyone hacking or so forth. But just wanted some extra safe guards, nice site BTW, and yes i run vmkforums :P

I also need to integrate this with vBadvanced. How can I do this? Is there any way to take what the user has entered and display it on another webpage?

there is no way to delete page :(

can someone help me? i'm new to this whole plug in thing. i got Userpages installed and it's working fine, but in the instructions it just says "put the userpages link in the navbar". i've tried a few places and ij ust end up with a text link on top of the navbar that you can barely see. how do i get it IN the navbar, so it looks the same as the other navbar links? if someone could show me the exact code and where to put it, i'd really appreciate it.

great hack btw, my users are going to love it :)
