vB3 Pets v1.0
by AutomatikStudio and others

+What This Hack Does+
This hack gives your users the option to have their very own furry little pets. Posting on your boards is what keeps them alive!

+Installation+
+ Queries - 4
+ File edits - 3 files
+ Template Additions - 1
+ Template Edits - 2
+ Image Uploads

+UPDATE+
+Thanks to Link14716, your selections stay selected after your users save them in their profiles. The ZIP file has been updated with the new code. Or if you just want the code then check out THIS post.
+IF YOUR HACK HAS THE ANIMAL 'CATEPILLER' MAKE SURE YOU FIX THE SPELLING ERROR!! Silly me, I misspelled the word 'catepiller'. You need to update /includes/functions_showthread.php and the MODIFYPROFILE template from the word 'catepillar' to 'catepiller' with an E.

*Note: I no longer support this mod in any form or fashion. Please don't PM me with questions about it.

Not as of now...but it will look exactly like the "pet table" in that screenshot...only it will be placed in differently...but like the install file says...you can place it anywhere you would like pretty easily as the pet table is in a template so all you have to do is put $vb3petsthreadbit whereever you want the pet table to be...

This is what it looks like in mine, board is still in development but it's supposed to open tomorrow, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to post now. I did tweak it to fit with my design. Heh. Changed the pets to fit too, and it all works quite fabulously. I love it, it's so cute.

I got this error when i add the queries

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE user ADD petname varchar( 25 ) NOT NULL ALTER

If you're using the built in query runner in VB, I believe it only lets you run one query at a time, so just do one alter statment at a time. If you're using phpmyadmin, then add a ";" without the quotes after each statement.

I also wanted to suggest that maybe having the options in the profile stay selected for whatever it was you'd chosen, would be great. I had a user alter their profile and found that their pet had changed, and that was because the drop downs return to their default.

Man. That sounded convoluted. I hope that made sense, been staring at a pooter all day... Oh and np on the screenshot.

Could someone try this code for the modifyprofile template edit instead:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

$customfields[regular]

<!-- end if custom fields -->
</if>

</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I was bored so I looked for a fix for the dropdowns not staying selected.
