Friendster style hyperlinked profile fields · **Released**: 02-01-2004

No longer supported by the author.

A screenshot has been request, so find it attached.

Note that this is a logic only hack and does not use any phrases or languages stuff... thus it is suitable for all languages.

The screenshot shows each of the items in the profile fields as a hyperlink, and one of which is being hovered over... and you can see that the link generated is a search on the user profile fields.

This is excellent... Will definitely take a look at this when I switch to vB3, which shouldn't be too far away finally lol.

Erm... wasn't really thinking of any, it's just a simple hack.

It's not going to evolve into anything out there or major. It's just a small simple improvement that encourages users to bond a bit more.

If you can think of anything you want to add to it though... just say

Or add it and I'll modify the first post and give credit.

I don't touch the memberlist.php file at all (this is what actually performs the search on the memberlist), just the profile page to create the links.

The links it creates are just what the form would create if submitted via GET.

I notice that you can't search by those fields on your forum via the Advanced Member Search page on your site... have you set the fields to be searchable?

This is under Admin CP > User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager

/forums/admincp/profilefield.php?do=modify

If the field isn't searchable, then what you describe would happen.

Let me just test this and see what improvement I could make

Updated the hack to take this into account.

Does anyone want to see this applied to the postbits too? For those of you who show location, etc there?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
