Last.fm Widget in MEMBERINFO Template
 

I've had a couple of people ask on my forums how I did this, so here it is:

Create a new User Profile Field:

• Profile Field Type: Single Line Textbox
• Title: Last.fm
• Description: Last.fm Username

Write down the Field ID (ie: field20), you'll need it in a few minutes.


Create your Last.fm Widget:

Create your widget at http://www.last.fm/widgets - customize the type and color for your forums, then copy the HTML code.


Edit the MEMBERINFO template:

• Find the end of your table code, above the footer variable.

(The code below may need to be tweaked a little based on your own style, this is just a guideline)

• Replace the table closing tag with:

• Replace 'fieldXX' with your user profile field field number (ie: 'field20')
• Insert your widget HTML code
• Find and Replace all instances of your last.fm username used to create the widget with your user profile field id variable (ie: ?url=user%2FHENRY should become ?url=user%2F$post[fieldXX]) - bold is only for looks. ^.^
• Close the table with the following (tweak code according to style):

Demo

Thanks for this :)

heya, any idea how you do it for the tabbed profiles? I had it before in a previous version but accidently reverted my templates without backup (grrz)

I tried just seeing if I could add it at the bottom but not having much luck, I think this is a brilliant mod, very underated!
