Profile Welcome Message - Users can add a message at the top of their profile
 

This modification allows your users to add a Profile Welcome Message to the top of their profile page. They can edit the message inline while viewing their profile, or in the User CP.

Installation: (1) Import the XML product file, (2) Create a User Profile field, (3) Insert the profile field ID number in the Profile Welcome Message Options.

Recommended Profile Field settings:

• Profile Field Type - Multiple-Line Text Box
• Title - Profile Welcome Message
• Description - Enter your profile welcome message here- Shown at the top of your user profile.
• Max length - 500 to 1000 characters seems to be enough
• Field Required - No
• Field Editable by User - Yes
• Private - No
• Display Page - Edit your details

If you want to edit how the message appears at the top of the profile, you can edit the memberinfo_profilewelcomemessage template.

thank"s good joop nice

Nice, but can you make it work with usergroup permissions so that only mods/premium members can use it?

That's not in my plans at this time.

I agree this is an important request also ad addition bb support rather then just text, example bold, italic, html

Thank you.

looks good, ill wait until its got permission tho. thanks.

it came up blank under admincp>vboption> then blank in the list.

great thank you

I'm not sure what you're saying. Can you try re-phrasing that?

What he is saying, is there is a bug.
admincp/vbulletin options/ .....No text to see your mods option.
You can click white space to show options.

happen to me as well..

Is there any way to allow the profile text to parse bbcode?
It would make for a much more customized solution.
Good modification = Thanx for sharing!

Ok, thanks for the explanations, should be fixed in version 1.2.

First of all the usergroup permissions issue. This is not very easy to deal with, since by default vBulletin has no way of allowing/disallowing a user profile field based on usergroup. So it would take some hacking to hide the profile field in their user cp. I'll look into this if I get time, but no guarantees.

Allowing BBcode would also be nice, but would involve a complete rewrite of this mod. I'll look into this one as well, if I get time.

The hack is there ok but just doesnt show up unless cursor highlighted???? Are because the text is default black which doest show on the forum default skin colour. Can the txt colour be changed?

You can change that by editing the memberinfo_profilewelcomemessage template. On the very first line, change color:#000 to color:white or whatever else you want.

Got you thank you sorted, unfortunately many of the profiles are also customized and therefore the already requested inclusion of BBCode would be a good idea.

thanks will install later

Here is my translation to russian:

sounds good :)
that would be fantastic :up:

thank you

Nice little hack, thanx a lot. But it should be possible to use bbcodes...................

Nice! Thanx for considering and Thanx for the sharing!

Jacquii.

very nice thanks

To pick up vbulletin css, edit the memberinfo_profilewelcomemessage template.
On the first line, you see the following.


Change this to.

Also, I didn't like the way it was so close to the tab's, so I added at the
very top & the very bottom of the template.

To me, It stands out better. It's great for dark board's.

Check out my profile.

At any time you edit any template, you can view history of that template.
Any info you remove will still be shown.

~I found it difficult to read the text (no matter the color) over custom BG's.
So I did it this way. It automatically pics up the full user CSS for "Primary Content Areas."
Change this to...

~I liked what you did with the Upper & Lower borders blind-eddie, I just removed the color code to make it fit more pallets(Kinda looks metallic). I also upped the width to 100%(I just like it better that way)

At Top & Bottom
My Profile

Awesome hack! I will try this one!

Thanks for the share!

mind sharing what was "updated" as my prefix doesn't say installed anymore, it says updated, yet I don't see any notes?

thanks

It fixes the problem in post #14 and caches a template that wasn't being cached.

great :)

Nice hack.

This is a great mod! Installed!

Looks good but going to wait for the bbcode options considering many profiles on my forum have been customized.

Thanks!
You might consider clicking "installed" if you want to encourage continued developement. :)

It's a great hack once you apply Thelonius Beck's suggestion.

Installed!!! :D

Installed, but I'd love to see the message inside a box.

Hi,

what can I do when the auto-template don't work? How to manually insert your mod into the memberinfo template?

Just put $template_hook[profile_left_first] in your MEMEBERINFO template where you want it to display. (preferably in its default position, in case you want to use it with other mods).

If you already have the template hook, then you might have another modification that is overwriting $template_hook[profile_left_first] instead of adding to it.

Okay, I checked this and now I think it's another problem: It's simply not appearing after the templatehook.

The Welcome message is not showing up in memberinfo template and I have no clue why.
