Add XFire URLS to User Profile Info · **Released**: 09-17-2006

Only my second released mod, tested and working with vBulletin 3.6.0, 3.6.1. and 3.6.2

Thanks to +buG and Ev!L ErN!E for their input / suggestions.

This template mod will allow you to add your users Xfire ID as a link, on their forum posts. This link, when clicked on, will add that user to his/her Friends list!

Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field

Choose "Single Line Text Box"

Title: XFire Username
Display Order: (you choose!)
Field Required: (you choose!)
Field Editable by User: (you choose!)
Private Field: NO
Field Searchable on Members List: Yes
Show on Members List: (you choose!)
Display Page: Edit Profile

[SAVE]

NOTE:
You must now make a note of the field ID for your Xfire input. You can check what field ID is assigned by going to:

Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager

and looking at what ID is next to "XFire Username"

For my instructions, i am going to use '99' as my Field ID, and you should change the number to suit what YOUR field ID is!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADDING XFIRE ID AS TEXT LINK:

Go to AdminCP
Go to "Style Manager"
Go to "Edit Templates" for your theme.
Scroll down until you get to "Postbit Templates"
Open up either Postbit or Postbit Legacy (depending on what you use!)

Find in this template:

Code:

<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>

and below it, add:

Code:

<if condition="$post['field99']"><div>XFire: <a href="xfire:add_friend?user=$post[field99]">$post[field99]</a></div></if>

Save.

REMEMBER!! CHANGE THE ['field99'] AND [field99] to whatever field ID you have, i.e ['field6'] / [field6] or ['field9'] / [field9] !!

is there a way to include an image for xfire? instead of text?

murdo · #15 10-20-2006, 12:31 PM

I have updated the install instructions to accomodate for using an image instead of the persons xfire id.

Please refer to the part:

Works great, I just had to add the border="0" line to the code so the image wouldn't have a border around it:

Code:

<if condition="$post['field99']"><div><a href="xfire:add_friend?user=$post[field99]"><img src="putyourimagehere.gif" border="0"></a></div></if>

Also this would be great if it was placed next to the other messanger icons, or even added as a field for messanger profiles, like Yahoo, MSN and AIM, could you create this as a mod for that as well?

Also I'm using 3.6.2 and its working fine...

murdo · #17 10-23-2006, 06:46 AM

Thanks Ev!L ErN!E, updated the instructions.

As for the mod you talk about... you read my mind! I'm already working on it

The Itchy One · #18 11-03-2006, 07:34 AM

Installed

Demo of the mod can be viewed at http://lovepants.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=67

Here is my Xfire logo

murdo · #19 11-06-2006, 08:24 AM

Thanks for that! Will shortly be releasing v1.1 of the mod, with instructions on how to add the xfire image / link to the other Messenger icons/links...

fruitattack · #20 04-23-2007, 06:59 PM

Yup, I'm definitely anticipating that mod...unless I can figure that out myself. Thanks a lot for the tut, going to install it now.
