Profile Enhancements - Social Networking Fieldset in User Profile & Postbit

This template modification adds links to user's social networking profiles like MySpace, FaceBook, Youtube, eBay, Xbox etc.

Instructions:

In order to add each site ie. MySpace, FaceBook, Youtube, etc. You will need to add Profile Fields via the Admin Control Panel. Like this:


Admin CP > User Profile Fields > Add new profile field

Title: *Social Networking Site*
Description: *Your Social Networking Site Profile*
Max length of allowed user input: 20
Field editable by user: Yes
Private Field: No

And a new profile field for each site. Each profile field will be represented by a field number. ie. field5 . You will need to know which field number represents which site in the template editing!

- Don't forget to upload the images to YOUR SKINS /misc folder.

:: Refer to the attached text file for template edits and further instructions! ::

*Please Mark as Installed*

Make the Fieldset not show when the user hasn't entered anything in the profile fields!

Go to the MEMBERINFO template:

Find:

<!--Social Networking-->

Add Below:

<if condition="$userinfo['fieldXX'] OR $userinfo['fieldXX'] OR $userinfo['fieldXX'] OR $userinfo['fieldXX'] OR $userinfo['fieldXX']">

Replacing the XX's with your field numbers.

Then Find:

</fieldset>
</div>

Add After:

</if>

Hello mate, do these show up in people's post bits?

[Domenico]

It would be nice if one could be selected to be shown in the postbit.

Do you have the linkedin icon implemented?

No but if you give me a link to a user profile on linkedin I could draw up the code, it's not hard. You can PM the link if you'd like.

Will install later. Thanks mate.

How do you prevent the added field information from showing up in the "Additional Information" section of the Member's profile?

Thanks, good work :up:
