Find:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[icqicon] or $post[aimicon] or $post[msnicon] or $post[yahooicon] or $post[skypeicon]"><div class="pibu"><div class="pib">$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon] 


Add this below:

PHP Code:

<!-- XFire Hack -->
<if condition="$post['fieldx1']"><a href=http://profile.xfire.com/$post[fieldx1]><img src=http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/$post[fieldx2]/type/3/$post[fieldx1].png width=149 height=29 border=0></a>
<br>
<a href="xfire:add_friend?user=$post[fieldx1]" rel="nofollow">Add to xFire Friends List</a>
</if>
<!-- / End XFire Hack --> 


Of course you can put it on a different place in your postbit, too.

When you create the new field make a note of the field ID you will need to substitute the X1 for the 1st new userfield and X2 for the 2nd new userfield with the xFire username field ID number and xFire style field ID number.

Now edit your profile and enter your xFire username.


If you use this mod please click Install - cheers!

Nice hack. Question. Everything is working except the "add to xfire friends list" link. Double checked all of the code and everything is as listed. Anyone know what I could have done wrong?

Thanks,

Rob

I tried this and no matter what I do the xfire box will now show up... suggestions?

[K4GAP]

How did you get it to work in 3.7??

I've got it to work or show up ONLY if I put in some msn,aim or yahoo etc ID... then it shows up. If I remove one of those above ID's it disappears again??

I've double checked everything.. I'm editing both postbit and postbit_legacy templates with no luck in having either one make a difference.

[sava700]

Ok i figured it out.. you need to move this whole thing up above the im icons for it to work for some odd reason.

Erk, even when putting it between here:

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

<div>
						$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
					</div>
					<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div>$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>
					<if condition="$show['reputation']"><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: <span id="reppower_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reppower]</span> </if><div><span id="repdisplay_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reputationdisplay]</span></div></if>
					<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

It still shows absolutely nothing on the postbit for me.

Damn....do you need to put it above the ICQ etc icons on 3.6.8?

I moved the whole hack above the IM icons to work... not just ICQ

[blackwolf1962]

It never worked for me aswell but i messed around with it and this is what i used in the end

<!-- XFire Hack -->
<if condition="$post['field10']"><a href=http://profile.xfire.com/$post[fieldx11]><img src=http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/co/type/3/$post[field10]/type/3/$post[field10].png width=149 height=29 border=0></a>
<a href="xfire:add_friend?user=$post[field10]" rel="nofollow">Add my xfire</a>
</if></div>

<!-- / End XFire Hack -->

this is the line i changed

miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/co/type/3/

which i got from my xfire i also added </div> to give me a space under it

[UNFAITHFUL]

i added this same thing as blackwolf and i never got the picture to work just got the thing to add user to xfire. that is it

Just remember the field#'s you change to where you added the profile fields. don't put what everyone else has. you have to do where you had your own. I know that most of you all know that but some dont and that is out there for them.

So i am assuming this is a no go on getting the image to work?
