[Tweak] Make Your Member Profile A Popup Window
 

Author: mashby

Description: This will teach you how to make the username in your postbit a link. When selected, it opens the Member Profile page in a pop-up window.

Demo: NPUG.org Demo - Click on the user name, or avatar in the postbit.

Note: This template mod can be modified to work in other templates as well. :)

Andromeda - actually, the layout of my Member Profile (getinfo template) is based on another template mod. You can find it at this link.

All my template mod does is make the link a popup window.

that is nice. will install soon.

Man this is a BEAUTIFUL modification :) Thank you very much!

Is it possible you can show us what to do exactly to change the links from Send user email & Send user PM from the text that is there now to buttons?

Thank you! :D

Glad you like the tempate mod. :)

For the e-mail button, I had to hard code it. Meaning that I simply included a an <img> tag for the button itself. I wanted to make it conditional, like the PM button, but I can't do it without a hack.

For the PM button, this is the code in the "getinfo" template

$userinfo[sendpm]

and in the "getinfo_pm" template I have the following:

<a href="private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newmessage&userid=$userinfo[userid]">
<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/images/sendpm.gif" border="0"></a>
<a href="private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newmessage&userid=$userinfo[userid]">
Send a Private Message!</a>

OT but cute buttons in the profile :)

Thanks bro :) The PM thing worked sweet!

Just wondering how I would be able to hardcode the Email button in? I have no clue about HTML :(

Thanks again!!

wooohooo! i just learned a lesson in html :)

I figured it out! Thanks, I love this hack! :D Sexy buttons :p

Heineken - thanks! Glad you figured it out. :)

So am I :) Thanks!

btw just have 2 small questions.

1 - How can I make the Group name colors change? For example, Mod is in green in here as well as in the profile page. Is there a link to a mod for this?

2 - Is there a template for the postbit you guys use here. Exactly the same looking available, or not released? :) Just curious

Thanks again!

1. I think that's a hack and not a template mod. So, you'll have to check vBulletin.org for that hack, since it's not supported here.

2. There's not an "exact" copy of SaintDog's postbit, but this mod is about as close as you can get. :)

Thanks again Mash :)

SaintDog...if you give me the "exact" copy of your postbit would you have to kill me? lol j/k ... I definately understand :D

Cheers!
Heineken

Heineken,

Saintdog has already stated that he's not releasing any images, or styles from vBT. I know you were only kidding, but you don't want to to poke the tiger on this one.

lol! thanks for the warning.

sorry saintdog ... hope ya have a sense of humor ;)

did u make that by urself, or find it?

hi, great mod i have installed it successfully on postbit templates but i am having a few problems.

i can not seem to find the bits to edit on the forumdisplay pages

i think it may be cos i installed a hack

???

Cheers,
Nick

I came up with this tweak by myself, but it's not rocket science, so anyone could have had the same idea. :)

It would appear that you haven't made it a pop-up window. You need to include the javascript that creates the new window and sizes it on the forum display page as well.

Nice mod indeed, will install this first on my test board.
:D

Great one!

cool

Thanks guys, I'm glad you all like it. :)

nice works :)

Wow

nice one ;)

there.....I installed it *grins*. Works A-O-K! :)

EDIT: :D wow, it also makes everything look good :p

I'm wondering if I'm not getting something -

I took a look at the sample links on page one, and the member profile isn't a pop-up. The link opens a page in the same window.

Have I overlooked something?

Jeff

No, I've recently upgraded my forums and along the way, I'm cleaning up some code. The pop-up code is not working at the present time. It should be fixed by the end of the week.

Come back to edit this.

I have the members linked to the memberlist and linked post to the top 20 posters page, however, I would still like to know how I can get the pop up for top thread starter.

Thanks :D
