Profile Enhancements - Color Code Chart

This template modification shouldn't have any problems working with any version of vBulletin 3.7.x. Now, let's be honest. I don't own a vBulletin at all or a website anymore. I am deployed to Iraq, no time. One of the site's that I frequent to often allows it's user's to use the profile customization feature. I tend to create different looks for my fellow members of this site. I got tired of searching google for the color codes, so I decided to create a really quick page, that members can access from your site.

I used the HowTo create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) to create this. So thanks, and credits go to Gary King for that.
- I put the link for the color code charts to only show when the adminstrator allows members to customize their profiles.

Manually Edit: 1 - 2 mintues
File Edits: 0
File Added: 1
Template Edits: 1
Template Added: 1

Upload:
- colorcode.php to main forum directory.
- Create a new template titled Color Code and insert the contents.

Creat a new phrase:
- Insert into master language: Yes
- Phrase Type: Global
- Product: vBulletin
- Varname: user_color_code
- Text: Color Chart

Open User Control Panel Templates > UserCP Shell
- Search for:

<if condition="$show['customizelink']"> <tr><td class="$navclass[customize]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=customize">$vbphrase[customize_profile]</a></td></tr>

- Underneath Add This:

 <tr><td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="colorcode.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_color_code]</a></td></tr>

Save and that's it.
There are no screen-shots.
- I could not figure out how to make them collapse. Maybe someone can help with that.

Wow this seems very useful, I look forward to it once it has a popup

Sorry. I've had this done for awhile now. But, like I said. I'm in the war zone right now. Soon as I get a chance, I'll upload it.

Ditto! Noticed that too. Thanks Jase2 for php. How to fix navbar so it retains/displays "> User Control Panel" first? Also, in "vBulletin Options -> Profile Options" make sure that "Profile Styling" is checked otherwise menu item will not show up at all in "UserCp -> Your Profile" menu. I have a fresh, new install of 3.7.0. . .

Also, how to incorporate this into main post editer (without having to manually edit -> COLOR="#990099")? Hummm . . .

Thanks!

Silly Rabbit. After my last post, I took this into consideration. So what I'm attemping to do now is just that. Vbulletin has this already, but to me the color box's are small and limited. So I'm back to the drawing board. I know it says unsupported but I am working on updating this and making it better.

Seems I'm having an issue. I got the new template created, the new Phrase, and dumped colorcode.php in.

I can see the Color Chart on the profile page, and when I click it, it opens colorcode.php, but the contents are blank.

What am I doing wrong?
