-- 2. There was a header error in the admin panel, which was corrected by wajones... if future problems happens please tell me.

------end update.

Well everyone, I decided tonight to release this and just see what happens from there on. I got caught up in working on my multi-page profile for my site, and kind of forgot about this. Sorry I do that a lot, in which I am sure everyone does.

First off... please read all of the files that I have included in this, the Installation.txt file is something I slapped together at the last minute and probably needs proof read... but who cares. The Readme.txt file explains what all the files are, and has some other tidbit information.

The only things you will really need to upload is: upload.php, userhelp.html, vbuploadinstall.php and the images and image folder.

I tried to explain the best way to have it... is putting those three files in the root of your vb folder, then just upload the images folder, which will create a sub folder inside that for the two image icons. Then you will have to create another folder like I suggested named "uploaded" meaning uploaded pictures. Then you will have to chmodd that to 777 and go from there. Then you will have to go through the upload.php file and change the variable preferences to fit your site. I tried to do the best possible explanation of how to do it through my comments throughout the files. So pay attention to those, also feel free to customize the userhelp file to fit your site and everything.

One thing I kind of fell short on.. was a cool profile page.. I mean I included a getinfo template that I used when I first made this, which was on vb2.0.1 and now that added like ignore and stuff so.. you might just want to create your own template up in your favorite web page builder or in notepad.. whatever. And go from there with the variables that I include.

Just pretty much go through the installation files and everything and follow the steps and you should not have any problems.. not saying you won't but... hopefully the F.A.Q. file will help with that.

Some might hate it, some might like it... if you hate it.. don't download it.. or install it.

To uninstall, follow the steps you took to install it and reverse them

ALWAYS BACKUP Before doing hacks... installations, changes, etc!

**Warning** Install at your own risk!

and... there is no place like home! Just remember that!

P.S. search these forums.. for screen shots and there is no demo as of right now... well there was but I Took it down

First Off... I would like to say

Thanks BRAD C

This guy worked with me over ICQ to get the bugs worked out on mine.

It looks killer and my users are enjoying it.

i redid my profile page so that it would fit in ... and I must say it is 100% better.

Very impressed and grateful
Thanks

Thanks Sarge for the compliments.

It was a pleasure to help you get things setup the way they needed to be and usable by your users

Btw his profile pages look great! I just slapped one together as a demo or template to go off of, maybe I should take lessons from Sarge on that

thanks to you!

The Profile took me a few hours to get it looking the way I wanted to.

Attention to detail.. that is what I love about VB's!

Yah all things take time... and it does look good

I still have 3 or 4 new profile styles to work on. I have one done, almost done with a generic one.. then to make some really cool ones..

Getting this error on a friends board:

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/TheDaene2/admin/user.php on line 804


$profilefields=$DB_site->query("SELECT profilefieldid,title FROM profilefield");
while ($profilefield=$DB_site->fetch_array($profilefields)) {
makeyesnocode("Display $profilefield[title]","display".$profilefield[profilefieldid],0);
}

doformfooter("Find");

} <---Line 804 here.

// ###################### Start find #######################
if ($action=="find") {

Anyone have any Ideas? Thanks in Advanced.

Profile fields are also used for the vb forums, not brads script. The variables his script would be calling for, are user tables mostly, so i do not know how you picked up a error for a admin profile area, unless you misplaced the code in the admin area script, or otherwise used script that is not part of brads hack. (There was a suggestion in here earlier on how to pull out different paths to the pictures...which we will not support)

Stick with his instructions, and go through the adding code area to the admin script one more time. I would be willing to bet, you might have a extra } or missing a } being it is a parse error, which means you might not of copied the whole script and entered it correctly, or misplaced it within the script.

let me also add that missing a ; could be a problem, or adding one to many ;

I know the first one all to well.....( missing ; )

In my instructions.. I have you putting MY code at the end of that user.php file... which would be WAY WAY past line 803... so the error you are getting should not be part of my hack at all. Unless something was messed up during installation.

the only code that is above line 803 is at the very beginning and I Don't think that would mess it up.

[ToraTora!]

well, that is what i was thinking...it seems to be that the parse error happened where he threw in the code, or hit a backspace or something by accident, which may of erased a closing tag } or the good ol ; geeze i love those dearly....lol

After i edited the user.php file i was getting that same error for the Find User Option in the Admin CP. I'll try your suggestions and keep you posted. Thanks for the help. greatly appriciated.

Oh also for the editing the user.php file, one thing was to replace the <?php by replacing it with the code you listed in the filechanges.html file. When in the user.php file there are 2 places with <?php listed, at the very beginning and around line 780 which is listed as:

<select name="direction">
<option value="">in ascending order</option>
<option value="DESC">in descending order</option>
</select>
</p></td></tr>
<?php

Which one is supposed to be replace. the one at the beginning or the one around line 780? Thanks you very much for the help.

I don't think the directions were that clear..

leave the <?php at the very top.. paste that first part of the code right underneath that.. and that is it. Leave everything else alone.
