This is a pre-pre-release beta version. I'm only releasing this for people to use as a starter for their page. This may contain bugs, and may not work correctly.
Unfortunately I don't have enough spare time to support this, so please only install this if you're confident changing things. Any ideas or suggestions please let me know.
What does this do?
This will change your profile page to have a myspace/facebook style layout.
This creates new templates so should not alter anything.
This also uses standard css classes so should fit into any skin.
It should squeeze down to 800x600 (just) and stops expanding around 1000 wide so it doesn't look too warped.

Well the test install has went pretty well for this. It is looking pretty good. I just have a question real quick.
How can we include the Blogs, and friends list like the old hack. Here is a pic below.
What I am saying is I would like to have the friends list to look like the myspace one. With 8 members showing. As well as showing the pic. When you install this mod it lists them downward and does not look like it does on myspace.
The other is the blog links for each member. This is a key feature. It really gives people a reason to go to some ones profile. How would we add it to the profile so that is shows there blogs, also like the pic below. And yes i do understand we need the blog hack installed.
If the coder allows for me to use his code, I will release my version and I will support it
How did you get your URL box to show the special link? Like myspace.com/username? I have the username hack installed. I just need to know how to get it to show up in the profile now instead of the long link.
With blogs, i'm not sure how that currently works. I don't currently have that so unsure how to test it exactly. You should be able to get it to hook as a content tab in the old system and have it come up in this system. All the existing hooks for profiles should still be there. I was definitely going to have it in there once i got to that part.
With the friends list - that was the stage i was up to. Finding a nice way to get this part to work and display. Currently there isn't a dedicated "list user's friends" page in vbulletin which needs to be created first before i can iconise the lists. I also had the idea of adding a "top friends" list so a user can select which friends appear on their front page, but haven't planned the exact details of that part as yet.
This is a very early pre-release so doesn't have any finishing touches at all.

I have been messing with it here for about an hour now. Check out what I have thus far. I still have some editing to do to get to where I want it. But you will get the general idea.
I still need some one to tell me how to make the short profile url show up instead of the long one. Any ideas?
Here is a link to the way I have the user friends list set up. I also have the profile pic linked to the albums just like myspace. So what do you think? If you need a login use the following.
I now have permission from Psylenced to release my own version, so I will be updating this xml file asap and releasing it with new features installed
Keep an eye out. And yes, I will be supporting it
Hey,
I do not know how hard this would be to implement but I thought I would ask anyways. How much work would it be to create a bulletins like on myspace? Between your friends? That would be the ultimate mod to go along with this install. I honestly think that is why people love myspace so much in the first place.
Its just a thought. I do not know what it would take to make it happen, but it would be a great addition. Mod of the Month type of addition for this new myspace hack, for sure!
