UKBL ~ FaceBook profile link on Postbit ~ Clickable !!

Member on Facebook? Show other members that you have a Facebook presance by adding a facebook Icon to your postbit"

This is a cool hack which will let your members add a facebook Icon to their Postbit template, They need to add their facebook Profile user ID in their user CPfor this to show, If they don't enter one, then the badge don't show

How to install.

Its really easy to do, as always, so if your sitting comfortably, lets begin

Now we need to create a User Custome field, so.....

AdminCP and add a custom field > User Profile fields > Add New User Profile Field

Title = Facebook user ID

Description = Enter the Number ID from your Facebook User Profile

Default Value = Leave empty

Max length of allowed user input = 12

Display Size = 10

Display Order = 10 or 15

Field Required = No as default

Field Editable by User = Yes in case member wants to delete, Later

Private Field = No

Field Searchable on Members List = No

Show on Members List = Yes

Regular Expression = leave empty

Save the field

Once you've saved you can see what the field number is, So lets say its Field11 for example, Remember this as will need it for your Postbit Edits :up:

Thats the first bit done, now Part Two

Go to the template you are using in Styles & Templates/Style Manager, and select Edit templates.

Go to "postbit templates" and select the template you are using, either postbit or postbit_legacy.

Find the following

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div class="postbit">$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

Directly above it add

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 9)">
<if condition="$post['field11']">
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php/#/profile.php?id=$post[field11]&ref=profile">
<img alt="My Facebook" border="0" src="http://www.yourforum.com/images/misc/facebook.png" border="0"/>
</if></if>

replace the RED Field attribute for your own

now when members sign up their facebook badge and enter their profile user ID into the "Enter the Number ID from your Facebook User Profile" section in their UserCP, The Badge will automatically appear in their Postbit

Don't forget to change the usergroup condition with the number of the usergroups that you want to be able to view this

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 9)">

That means that guests and banned users will not be able to view members facebook profile urls

Members who do not add a user id will not be shown anything.

Next, Upload the facebook icon to your forums/images/misc folder and add the full url to the part in the code which shows the image.

if you are just seeing a red cross on your postbit, then its because your image url is not right

Oh Forgot to say, Badge is fully clickable so members can click directly to facebook


Hope you enjoyed this new hack, and thanks to DobieGillis? for the idea

Please Click Installed and I'll support you 100%

Thanks

This code doesn't work:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 9)">
<if condition="$post['field11']">
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php/#/profile.php?id=$post[field11]&ref=profile">
<img alt="My Facebook" border="0" src="http://www.yourforum.com/images/misc/facebook.png" border="0"/>
</if></if>

|
It's missing a </a>

Has an extra border="0"

Why URL for href?
|
|
|
If you'd like to get you're facebook icon here:
|



|
|

First, upload to your server in this directory: images/misc/

Then edit postbit_legacy and look for this string:

<if condition="$show['reportlink']"><a href="report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/report.gif" alt="$vbphrase[report_bad_post]" border="0" /></a></if>

|
|

Below it add this string after changing both ?? to your field number:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<if condition="$post['field??']">
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php/#/profile.php?id=$post[field??]&ref=profile">
<img alt="Facebook" src="images/misc/facebook.png" border="0"/></a>
</if></if>

|
Save the template and you're done.

In there what put...?

My team members or my team members who dont show facebook ID....?

Thats for the user groups that you want to be able to use this hack, Just add your registered members usergroup ID, plus your mods and admins, if you don't add the usergroup id for unregistered, or banned members then they will not be able to see the facebook icon
