FAQ

1. How do I configure what forum report threads should go to?
   At the top of userpage.php, there are several clearly documented variables that you can edit. One of these establishes the forumid that you want reported pages to be reported to.

I didn't see where this was marked beta. Thanks for the reminder.

I've been running this for a while. My users love it and some have been very creative with their pages. Yes there are some bugs, but, with a little php knowledge they can all be worked out easily. Some of the fixes are even posted in this thread.

same here been runnning it for a while and everything is fine most fixes are posted indeed just take the time

[djnth]

Is there a way that I can have one of the user's custom profile fields displayed instead of their user name on the list of user pages?

My userpages are for DJs and I'm using it for DJ Profiles but I would like their DJ Name displayed instead of their user name.

Thanks!!

Nice hack when it gets out of beta I will sure try it

True, but for users without knowledge in php, as well as users that download this hack, install it from how it's released, the bugs that have been fixed have not been implemented, thus creating a hastle situation for the user.

That's great if you've fixed the problems for it to run smoothly for your forum, but I havn't seen anyone that has taken the time to do so for their own forum, post a complete post of the steps to fixing the known problems of this hack. It would be easier to follow complete & well written steps within one post instead of fishing through this thread for the fixes.

Mine works great, the only problem I'm having are some Phrases that are missing but that is a simple fix I'm sure and I think it was my error that caused this problem.

Check my user pages out:

I've modified it to be DJ Profiles instead of just plain user pages and add some custom fields that get autoentered based on some custom profile fields I created.

I love this mod!! Thanks again AMY!!

I just found this hack and would liek to install it, but there has been no updates since November and there seems to be some issues. Is there any work being done on it?

[amykhar]

a lot of work has been done in the thread. But before you install, note that this mod is in BETA and is intended only for use by those who know how to code. The zip file will not likely be updated for some time due to time constraints.

In answer to a post, I've put together a list of the important updates, fixes and work-arounds for this hack. These are links to posts in this thread, and obviously if they get edited or deleted, they may not show up. If you've already installed the product from the first page, you can use the following threads to help you sort things out. Although it's not officially part of the Hack, I recommend WAZA'S UPDATE (See Updates Below for the link) which gives you some additional functionality.

IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU INSTALL OR UPDATE THIS HACK, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR DATABASE!

The #1 problem most people have is they don't understand or follow the directions in the FAQ. I've tried to put prime examples of such below, but it's VERY IMPORTANT that you follow all steps in the install. (Rebuild Bitfields, Edit a Phrase in Phrase Manager, etc)

If there is anything wrong or missing here, please let me know so I can edit this accordingly.
