Profile Enhancements - Profile Welcome Message - Users can add a message at the top of their profile

This modification allows your users to add a Profile Welcome Message to the top of their profile page. They can edit the message inline while viewing their profile, or in the User CP.

Installation: (1) Import the XML product file, (2) Create a User Profile field, (3) Insert the profile field ID number in the Profile Welcome Message Options.

Recommended Profile Field settings:

• Profile Field Type - Multiple-Line Text Box
• Title - Profile Welcome Message
• Description - Enter your profile welcome message here- Shown at the top of your user profile.
• Max length - 500 to 1000 characters seems to be enough
• Field Required - No
• Field Editable by User - Yes
• Private - No
• Display Page - Edit your details

If you want to edit how the message appears at the top of the profile, you can edit the memberinfo_profilewelcomemessage template.

What he is saying, is there is a bug.
admincp/vbulletin options/ .....No text to see your mods option.
You can click white space to show options.

Is there any way to allow the profile text to parse bbcode?
It would make for a much more customized solution.
Good modification = Thanx for sharing!

First of all the usergroup permissions issue. This is not very easy to deal with, since by default vBulletin has no way of allowing/disallowing a user profile field based on usergroup. So it would take some hacking to hide the profile field in their user cp. I'll look into this if I get time, but no guarantees.

Allowing BBcode would also be nice, but would involve a complete rewrite of this mod. I'll look into this one as well, if I get time.

The hack is there ok but just doesnt show up unless cursor highlighted???? Are because the text is default black which doest show on the forum default skin colour. Can the txt colour be changed?

You can change that by editing the memberinfo_profilewelcomemessage template. On the very first line, change color:#000 to color:white or whatever else you want.

Got you thank you sorted, unfortunately many of the profiles are also customized and therefore the already requested inclusion of BBCode would be a good idea.
