Profile Enhancements - Color Code Chart

This template modification shouldn't have any problems working with any version of vBulletin 3.7.x. Now, let's be honest. I don't own a vBulletin at all or a website anymore. I am deployed to Iraq, no time. One of the site's that I frequent to often allows it's user's to use the profile customization feature. I tend to create different looks for my fellow members of this site. I got tired of searching google for the color codes, so I decided to create a really quick page, that members can access from your site.

I used the HowTo create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) to create this. So thanks, and credits go to Gary King for that.
- I put the link for the color code charts to only show when the adminstrator allows members to customize their profiles.

Manually Edit: 1 - 2 mintues
File Edits: 0
File Added: 1
Template Edits: 1
Template Added: 1

Upload:
- colorcode.php to main forum directory.
- Create a new template titled Color Code and insert the contents.

Creat a new phrase:
- Insert into master language: Yes
- Phrase Type: Global
- Product: vBulletin
- Varname: user_color_code
- Text: Color Chart

Open User Control Panel Templates > UserCP Shell
- Search for:

<if condition="$show['customizelink']"> <tr><td class="$navclass[customize]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=customize">$vbphrase[customize_profile]</a></td></tr>

- Underneath Add This:

 <tr><td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="colorcode.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_color_code]</a></td></tr>

Save and that's it.
There are no screen-shots.
- I could not figure out how to make them collapse. Maybe someone can help with that.

That doesn't seem to be the case with me. I will however have a look through the code tomorrow.

After you modify it. Any way, I could see what you have done. I didn't want to use it the way I'm using it now. I wanted to be a small chart off to the side of the edit profile page. But like I said. I'm really shakey with coding. The military take to much of my time away from it.

Yes:

This line:

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('color') . '");');

I've just changed to the word 'color'.

Same goes with:

$globaltemplates = array( 
    'color',

And:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'color');

Then name your template 'color' so that it can fetch the correct template.

For this to work, you need to change:

 <tr><td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="colorcode.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_color_code]</a></td></tr>

To :

<if condition="$show['customizelink']"><tr><td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="colorcode.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_color_code]</a></td></tr></if>

When I've worked on a better layout, I will provide you with the updated files preech so that you can take a look and see what you think. It's good nonetheless -- I would never of thought of it, anyway hehe.

[Preech]

No, thank you. You are the one that help me figure out what was wrong, I was doing an idea, instead of asking. Besides, this task seemed fairly easy. It didn't take long at all.

[Jase2]

Hehe. I'm actually working on a neater layout, and have a pretty good one so far. Just need to finish it off and add some border lines ect.

I will then pass you a screenshot.

[Jasem]

Thank you very much

[rapsearch]

hey stranger .. this is nice. i'll give this a try asap

[Preech]

Sup Rapsearch. I"m working on changing the layout a little bit more. To make it open in a popup instead of going to a different page.

Hey folks - I'm new to VB, at least this portion of it.

I'm not sure what contents to put into the new Color Code template.
