vb.org Archive - End-User Options - AnyVersion: User select a Custom Cursor

Hello all...

I am posting this in this forum as i use 3.7 but this goes for all versions as this one is simple to apply everywhere..

What does this do

It gives the user the option to use a custom cursor and if so select one in a pulldown selection menu

Estimated installation time: 10 minutes

OK here we go, this one is so simple you will laugh your socks off!

Step 1 uploading files
create a directory cursors in the forums image directory
unrar the attached cursors
upload them in the directory forums/images/cursors

Note: some of these cursors in the package were made by: azn_romeo_4u

Step 2 Creating new Profile Fields
Go into the adminpanel and add a new User Profile Field

Profilefield1
Type: Single-Selection Radio Buttons
Title: Use Custom Cursors
Description: Set this to Yes if you want to use a custom cursor
Options: Yes No
Set default: Yes if you want the hack to be turned on by default
Field required: If you like

Private Field: No
Searchable on memberslist: No
Show on memberslist: No
Allow user to input their own value for this option: No

Which page displays this option?: my choice was into other options but you can put it where it fits you best

Hit Save and add a new User Profile Field

Step 3 Creating new Profile Fields

Allow user to input their own value for this option: No

Hit Save and remember these 2 profilefields

Step 4 Edit Templates
go to the Style manager and select Edit Templates
Open the template: header

Customize the Fields and the DomainName to your needs and put it where you like it best in your header template

Change the code below where [fieldXX] is your profilefield number ie [field31]

respectively to your board field numbers alter the XX below:

Code:

 

<if condition=" $bbuserinfo[fieldXX]== Yes">

<style>

<!--

BODY {

CURSOR: url(http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/images/cursors/$bbuserinfo[fieldXX].cur);

}
