THIS SCRIPT IS NOT FOR COMPLETE NEWBIES!
If you are not used to changing script code. Please let someone else do the job for you that know more 'scripting'.

This script requires modification to your database.

I take no responsibily as to what happens to your website after you install this script.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy my contribution!

I like the idea of an icon or something near their name. Are you thinking of putting the icon down near the other icons when a user posts (online, AIM ect) see the attachment to where I'm thinking.

To expand on what I was originally thinking, I have the VBadvance portal on my site. So on the homepage, I have a section where the user can click on the 'forums' to take them to the forums. I then would like to have a link that says 'member pages' that takes them to a list of users who have member pages.

So it would look something like this.

User Name........Page Title (Link to page)..............Description
Chris.............Toyota 4Runner..... ............. Mods and other stuff

Do you think something like that is possible?

Swedie..

yes all edits have been made correctly, specially in the memberinfo template

and all suergroups have been enabled, registered and un-registered people can view guestbook/webpage.. they have the permissions set even to administrator. they were all set at start.

i wonder what it could be causing this :s

Quite a bit of work for a free program but it's quite possible. I just have to fix all bugs etc to start with. then enable icon's either next to the user's posts or in the online list... or somewhere else.

Possible later addition. I wasn't sure how to make it fit "nicely". So i left it out.

[Swedie]

I just posted a new version. Version 1.0.4. The difference is as you can read in the info box at the top of this thread. There is now an installer to simplify lots of things! And this also enables that many many more should be able to install this script. Those that previously have been afraid of messing up their database!

[axi]

thanks, will upgrade now

edit: only found an installer in the file.. do i need to or can i upgrade still?

there is no upgrade from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4.

Do not run the database queries. No need for that.

All you have to do is replace the script in profile.php and replace template modify_webpage with the new info in the installation (skip to template editing).

that's all in this release except for the installer if you haven't installed it before.
