i am sorry but check your edit's and position to make sure they are there...make sure all files were uploaded correctly....

i have it installed on beta 4 and i can see everything....sorry wish i had a fix for you.

I have it on 3.5, so maybe that could be part of the problem too.

Has development and support of this hack stopped? I noticed that amykhar hasn't posted in here since June 5th.

I'm hoping that she is still working on the next release and it will be taken out of beta. I really want to install this, but there are still just a few too many bugs like it's problem with uninstalling. I don't want to mess up my live forum.

<i>What file do i have to upload through admin PC? If i dont upload a file, i dont see it on the fields to make a phrace. Help Please</i>

EnIgMa1234:
You use the 'Import Product' function in the admincp to 'import' the xml file from your computer after downloading and extracting the zip file. There is also a 'manual' for you to download and unzip/extract.

Cant delete pages, and some users cant create pages.

All permissions set accordingly...

does this work with 3.5.4 ? i tried installing it and i get sql errors after i update the usergroups

Does anybody know how to modify the code, so that the userpage is created automatically for new users?
And then I would need to mass create userpages for existing members, eg using phpMyAdmin.

I want to do this, because I think that userpages would be used more often if they are created automatically. Other users would be able to sign the guestbook to welcome new users or just say hello to members who are online.

Hi all,

I downloaded this hack today and followed the instructions. However, the moment I uploaded .htaccess file, I get 'internal server error'.
I realised one problem could be that I had renamed my index (using the correct setup in admincp) to antimisandry.php, and so edited the .htaccess file to reflect this change.
However, it still gives me an internal error. Also, a series of randomly named files without an extension have appeared, yet are all zero bytes and all begin with vb*** (random characters)

Does anyone understand this, it's a little over my head unfortunately.

My forum is located mydomain.me.uk/vb so I uploaded the .htaccess to the same directory, as explained in the 'install.txt'

At this point, I get the '500 internal error'.

it reads:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^$ antimisandry.php

RewriteRule (^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$) userpage.php?do=main&username=$1

I CAN"T DEL USERPAGE ?
Why ?
Plz

Darn I guess this hacks development has stalled or stopped? This is the second web page hack that got so close to being great, but development stopped and never got all the bugs worked out.

I really want this type of hack installed, but the problems with the uninstall and the other problems people have mentioned have me worried about installing this on my live forum :(

It would be nice if the author would actually state that support/development had stopped though, rather than letting new users continue to download it and then be ignored when asking for simple help issues....especially as the 'support' box is still ticked. Oh well... :(

Nice Plug =9 How it would be with an friend feature? like myspace you can invite people and stuff and then they show up on the users personal page ;o)

This is not a my-space kind of thing. It is more like profile pages on Epinions

http://www.epinions.com/user-gracef
http://www.epinions.com/user-theworm
http://www.epinions.com/user-amykhar

That sort of page.

amykhar, is this still supported please? it is ticked as supported, but questions seem to go unanswered, giving the impression support is not given. I don't intend to sound hostile, but being a bit of a n00b here some basics would go a long way :D

First of all, I REALLY like this mod. Only one problem: .htaccess kills the whole forum. I get a 500 internal error, in both the forums and also in adminCP. Seems to work OK without .htaccess. What am I missing?

You don't need to use .htaccess to use the hack. The only thing the .htaccess lets you do is use a shorter URL (forums/username) for userpages. If you have other hacks (like the Search Engine Optimized hack) you might have problems. Just restore your original .htaccess if you're having trouble.

question:

The 'install.txt' says:

What exactly does 1. install product mean? Most products come with some level of detail to explain the how part of installing. I realise this down to my lack of understanding but some help would be highly appreciated.

So far, the best definition i can assume from "install product" is :

Admincp, Plugin System, Manage Products, Add/Import Product then upload it or direct it to my includes/xml.

This however only informs me: Invalid file specified.

I'm running vb3.5.4 so if anyone has any clue of what I'm doing wrong, please enlighten me as it's slightly frustrating seeing that other's are getting this product up & running but I'm seemingly incapable of doing so.

That's right, except direct it to the file "product-userpages.xml" in your userpages folder that you extracted on your local computer.

I have another question. I am importing data from an old forum into vBulletin. In the old forum, users had a "personal" page similar to userpages. I have userpages up and running, and I can post to my own page but as Admin I can't post to the member's pages. Anyone know if there is a way to import the data? Or a way to post to the member's pages?

Urghhhh You wouldn't beleive with a stupid mistake i've made... I'm so ashamed of my own stupidity i can't begin to explain it! Anyway, it's finally installed....... let's see how it works

am using it on my test forum atm, but once played with a bit will port it over to my real-forum.

thanks again :)

Please note that this is BETA software and is not designed for truly novice users :)

It is clearly marked as beta in the first post. ;)

Yes thank you for the 'beta' reminder. I'm a quick learner where computers are concerned, and figured it wouldn't be too difficult to sort out. I used to program in +3 BASIC in my teen years and even dabbled with a little machine code here n there, so my experience isn't entirely limited.
Nonetheless , a little response here & there wouldn't go amiss.
As it is, I've finally sorted out the issue, i'd made one of those "can't see what's under your nose" mistakes.

I'm using this on my test board atm, Amy and it definately seems a promising addition for me to consider putting on my active forum.

I've clicked install regardless of whether i port it over to the active forum or not.

:D

Has there been any progress on the un-install issue?

I would like use this, but since it wouldn't uninstall on my test forum, I don't want to try on the live forum.

How do you turn off the rating option?

Hey whats up
I was just wondering, are these user pages searchable using the vbulletin search function?

thnx
john

There have been alot of questions asked about this hack lately, but most have not been answered.

Going to try and put them all in one post. Maybe someone can help answer them all? If I miss one, let me know and I'll add it to this post.

1. Any progress on un-install issue. (Forum SQL errors after trying to remove)
2. How do you turn off the rating option?
3. Is there any if conditions to show a link only if the user has a page up?
4. Report this page, brings up a blank page and doesn't post in the desired forum
5. Cant delete pages, and some users cant create pages?
6. user pages searchable using the vbulletin search function?
7. Why is the wording for the page rating dropdown missing?

Any idea why mine looks like this? The reputation thingy drop down is off :)

Mine did that too, I think that is for the page rating. I forgot about that it did that.

Going to add it to the list of questions.

I installed user page today,I can see mine in my userpc,but the link to get to user pages gives me a 404 Not Found error,I installed as per install.txt....
Any suggestions to get this to work would be great.Thank You

I fixed it so you can view,also I had to change http in link but other features are not working.

Uninstall issue (again) , any fix so i can uninstall this :rolleyes:

Did you read through my exhaustive post on a way to manually uninstall?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=977

It's a bit long-winded, but hopefully helpful.

The error you're getting is that the uninstaller is trying to drop a table that's probably already been dropped. You need to go in, restore the dropped tables, then run the uninstaller again. Full details are in the above post.

The uninstaller fails because some tables aren't getting dropped or its trying to drop tables that don't exist. See my "Oh My Gosh I've broken it" post to manually uninstall:

2. How do you turn off the rating option?

Its easiest to just edit it out of the Userpage template (Not Userpage.PHP). Find the following code in the Userpage Template and remove:

Code:

<if condition="$canrate">

<td class="tcat" id="rate" nowrap="nowrap" width="25%" align="right"><a href="#rate">$vbphrase[rate_userpage]</a>

<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("rate"); </script>

</td>

<else />

<td class="tcat" nowrap="nowrap" width="25%" align="right">

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$rating.gif" border="0">

And also remove the following:

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">

                <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_5.gif" alt="$vbphrase[excellent]" /><label for="vote5"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote5" value="5" $votechecked[5] />$vbphrase[excellent]</label></div>

                <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_4.gif" alt="$vbphrase[good]" /><label for="vote4"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote4" value="4" $votechecked[4] />$vbphrase[good]</label></div>

                <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_3.gif" alt="$vbphrase[average]" /><label for="vote3"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote3" value="3" $votechecked[3] />$vbphrase[average]</label></div>

                <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_2.gif" alt="$vbphrase[bad]" /><label for="vote2"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote2" value="2" $votechecked[2] />$vbphrase[bad]</label></div>

                <div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_1.gif" alt="$vbphrase[terrible]" /><label for="vote1"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote1" value="1" $votechecked[1] />$vbphrase[terrible]</label></div>

Obviously you will want to tweak the layout since you are getting rid of a major part of the page.

3. Is there any if conditions to show a link only if the user has a page up?

Not that I have been able to find. You may want to search the thread because some alternatives were stated, but I can't guarentee they work.

Quote:

4. Report this page, brings up a blank page and doesn't post in the desired forum.

I don't want to speak for Amy, but I believe this is a function not fully implemented yet. I created a custom form page through CMPS (Portal) and simply linked to it. You can also just put a simple email link.

Quote:

5. Cant delete pages, and some users cant create pages?

This is almost always a permissions issue that's been overlooked in the setup. You may wish to check this post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=356

for the solution.

Quote:

6. user pages searchable using the vbulletin search function?

Nope.

Quote:

7. Why is the wording for the page rating dropdown missing?

Not sure about this one. Perhaps its a color issue? An example (link) would be helpful.

Hopefully this helps. I'll do my best to drop in and address issues.

I want to point out that nearly all of these issues have been brought up before. I highly recommend checking the links above and using the "Search this thread" function if you are still having specific issues.

I want to stress that I'm not a programmer and "learned by doing", but mostly it just takes time, experimenting and NOT giving up.
