Hey all,

This small modification will add a small button to your postbit. DeviantArt is one of the biggest Art communities. This small modifications will put a button in the postbit to the deviantart page of the user.

1. Make a profile field
Profile field type = Single-line text box
Title: DeviantArt account
Description: Type your deviantArt username.
You can leave the rest to default.

**Note down the number of the field! Example: field16. You need to replace the X in the next code with the number!**


2. Template changes - In postbit_lecacy

Find:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]

After ad:

<!-- Deviantart start -->
<if condition="$post[fieldX] != ''"><a href="http://$post[fieldX].deviantart.com" alt="View my profile" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/DA.gif" border="0"></a>
</if>
<!-- Deviantart end -->

3. Button upload

Rename the button you want to use to: to DA.gif
Upload it in your: images/misc folder!

Okay, I found out how to put some alternative text which is pretty easy but how do I get it to specifically display the member's user name?

Original:

<img src="images/misc/DA.gif" border="0"></a>

Added alt text:

<img src="images/misc/DA.gif" border="0" alt="View my profile"></a>

Any way to get this to open in an existing page instead of a new tab?

This is a good idea, and a very easy install for any membername website, not just Deviant Art.

You could simplify the whole process even more as well. Instead of entering their DA info as "bratzer.deviantart.com", you could have them simply add their DA username, or just "bratzer". Then, change your template info to:

<!-- Deviantart start -->
<if condition="$post[fieldX]"><a href="http://$post[fieldX].deviantart.com" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/DA.gif" border="0" alt="View my DeviantArt Profile!"></a>
</if>
<!-- Deviantart end -->

chkdgate, yes you can easily get it to open in the same window by removing target="_blank" out of the URL in the template addition above.
