What it does: This is a MEMBERINFO template re-write to put a little bling-bling in your profile! There is some work on your part to make this work correctly, and will be explained below. The goal of this template re-write is to make your user profiles look similar to "Myspace". You can customize this to look however you wish, and myself and MissKalunji have come together to bring this to you. There will be 2 examples, the first one will be mine, and the 2nd will be MissKalunji's.

Credits: This template would not be possile without HR3RDGEN and all those that posted and shared thier mods in his thread. It was a good resource, and was unfortunate it was taken down. Please do not bring ANY drama to this thread concerning what happened to the original template thread. Lets move forward. I would also like to thank MissKulanji for her infinate wisdom and talent. She has put alot of work into this as well and brings alot to the table.

What you will need: Below you will find the links to the hacks you will need to download and install. I STRONGLY RECCOMEND that you make ALL modifications to a "test style" first. If you do not have one, create one. This way, when you mess up, your users will not be affected. Please download and install the hacks listed below, and also...please remember to CLICK INSTALL on those threads! The below templates INCLUDE CSS modification ability!!!

------------------------------------------------

Installation: Please install the following hacks!

vBJournal
Who Viewed My Profile
Friends and/or Buddies in Profile
Zodiac Sign in the Postbit and Elsewhere
Last Seen Online in postbit
Hide User Contact Info From Guests
Default Avatar
Pig's Subscription Gift (only if you use paid subscriptions)
Auto PM after add Buddy! (Optional)
Number of VBA Gallery Images in Profile

------------------------------------------------

Download the .htaccess file I have attached and place it in your forum's root folder. This will give you those wonderful links for the usernames. ex. www.yourdomain.com/forums/stangsta

*NOTE: Please bear in mind, you may have to modify the above hacks after you install them. PLEASE refer to the hack specific thread for support, although we will still try to help you. ALSO, on any of those hacks, it may ask you to add or remove code from the MEMBERINFO template, SKIP THAT PART! It is already done for you in these templates.

To make this work for you, you have to create profile fields in the adminCP. Each profile field that you create will have its own unique number. ex. "feild24" Once created, each profile field will be editable by the user in thier userCP under edit profile. Start by creating all the fields to match the screenshots. Then, write down the name and field number on a piece of paper for quick reference (it will be much easier that way). Once you have done this, using the code below, change the profile fields to match YOURS.

Next, start by copying one of the template codes listed below in its entirety and paste it in your MEMBERINFO template OVERWRITING the existing contents (yes, erase the current contents). Please be sure to use a "test" style. Now save & reload. Remember that piece of paper you wrote everything down on? Change the profile fields in the template to match YOUR field numbers. When you are done, hit save.

Now, it can get annoying when someone types a couple paragraphs and it all ends up into one big paragraph. Thats because the BBCODE is not getting parsed! Well, go ahead and create a plugin. You should add the new plugin to the MEMBER_COMPLETE hook location. What you do is take the profile field number that you want people to be able to use BBCODE (the smileys, img tags, etc) in and replace the field number within the plugin. Heres an example:

{ 
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser)) 
{ 
    require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php'); 
    $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 
} 
$userinfo['field1'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo['field1'],0, true); 
}

Change ['field1'] to the field you wish to parse. Now, what if you want to parse multiple fields? Then just keep adding it like this:

{ 
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser)) 
{ 
    require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php'); 
    $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 
} 
$userinfo['field1'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo['field1'],0, true); 
}
{ 
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser)) 
{ 
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php'); 
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 
} 
$userinfo['field2'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo['field2'],0, true); 
}
{ 
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser)) 
{ 
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php'); 
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 
} 
$userinfo['field3'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo['field3'],0, true); 
}

This is an example of my MEMBERINFO (screenshots below), I consider it a 90% myspace clone. PLEASE NOTE: I use avatars in this example AS a profile picture. So if you use a profile picture, you need to change it to show a profile picture instead of an avatar. Or if you like it, disable profile pics on your board via vBulletin Options. I find users are more confused with having a profile pic AND an avatar, so I did this to simplify the process for them. I use a max avatar size of 170x170, I think it looks good and consistant throughout the forum.

Here is some quick reference on the profile fields I used.

CSS: CSS usage is optional. Its what gives the ability for users to customize the look of thier profiles. Since I have already added the code, all you have to do is create a profile field where the user can enter lots of text. once you do that change the CSS profile field number at the top of the template to match YOURS. Then when they enter the CSS in the profile field, it will change the profile.

Here is an example of how it would look like:

body {background: #FFF000}
page {background: #FFF000}
a:link {background: #FFF000}
a:hover, a:active {background: #FFF000}
a:visited {background: #FFF000}
.tcat {background: #FFF000}
.theader {background: #FFF000}
.tborder {background: #FFF000}

*NOTE: You dont have to modify all the sections, you can change as much or as little as you wish. Its up to you! You can change the HEX color codes to suit your needs. I will get more into additional codes to make it really fun after I finish the rest of the documentation.

If you want to use an image for the background instead of a color code then use this code instead:

Body{background-image:url(type the image url here)}

Thanks, I will give this a try!

Criscokid, yeah I've seen this link and that's cool too. What Stangsta is giving me is in all probability what I need. Since with the comment system I have there is no way of knowing you've received a comment without going to your profile, I wanted to provide a quick way for users to access it (most won't think to use the Quick Links pull down menu).

Thanks again, and thanks to everyone here who has contributed to making this hack. I have "installed" and would definately vote for it as hack of the year.

Now if only the "comments" problem could be ironed out for everyone. Can't wait to see it, may upgrade if I likey!

[Dr Steevil]

Well, it didn't work. I tried disabling the .htaccess file and that didn't work either. I get the error "Sorry, this user does not exist..."

Any other ideas?

[criscokid]

Before you click the link take a look at what the actual URL is (right click, 'copy shortcut') of the link then post that here.

[Dr Steevil]

In my particular case, it is embedded in a flash file. But I tried it also as an html code and as BBcode, none of them work.

The url I'm using is

http://www.hbclive.com/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]

Since this site (vBulletin.org) is the same it should work here as well (modified of course), so let's try it...

Using this code

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]

When you click that link, you'll get this error:

This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view.

What are the right permissions? I only saw settings which seem to be harmless:

Can comment on profiles? Yes No
Can this usergroup view comments? Yes No
Can usergroup delete their own comments? Yes No
Can report comments? Yes No
Can edit their own comments? Yes No

Even if you set everything to yes, there should be no problem. Am I missing anything?

Going way back for this one. Can't figure out what's wrong. I have parsed all of the fields that are multi-line text fields and double checked them and they are all correct. But when I place an image file in the [img] tags all it does is make it a link. Rather odd, because in the regular forum posts, it works fine.

This is a sample of my parser plug-in code

{ 
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser)) 
{ 
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php'); 
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 
} 
$userinfo['field1'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo['field1'],0, true); 
}

And yes, I have duplicated this for all of the fields I want parsed, and double checked to make sure all fields are changed to the values I need.

You call that harmless? Put that in the hands of your members...see what happens. Also, mods and admins have full delete permissions.

I might have misunderstood the setting. I thought that everyone of the usergroup can delete his own comments, not the comments of other users of the same usergroup. Therefore it would have been their own fault. They should not be surprised about missing entries, because they deleted the entries themselves.

And if a mod or an admin deletes entries, it should be no surprise for the admin. He should know that the entries have been deleted on purpose.

So, I still wonder why several vB admins have reported this. Either there is really a bug or they have been just lazy to investigate the problem carefully.

Try again.

I need help with the parse code plug-in. I have created the plug-in (I call it Profile Field Parser) in the member_complete hook per instructions. My code is arranged as follows:

{ 
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser)) 
{ 
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php'); 
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 
} 
$userinfo['field1'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo['field1'],0, true); 
}

I copied and pasted that code several times, changing the fieldx value to reflect the fields I need parsed.

My problem is that images aren't appearing. It just converts the file path to a link which of course when clicked shows the image in another browser window. I can't figure out what is wrong, because the use of the [IMG] tag works elsewhere on the site just fine. Is the product location of the plug-in wrong? I have it in vBulletin.

Its either conflicting with something else on your site OR you dont have it in the MEMBER_COMPLETE hook location.
