Pop Up buddy list/Mood Hack/Picture Upload/User Profile

Bane, I am just a little slow... or I have to much to do and so little time to do it..

I got it all done, now I just have to add the changes to my zipped up copy. Then will send it to ToraTora to play with, and if all goes well I could be releasing it.. sometime next week

Just turned 21 today.. so.. this weekend is full of ummm stuff.. besides the computer

[ToraTora!]

Just a update on the above hacks.

The mood hack has been sent over to Brad C, to do a fresh install of it on his server, to see if there are any complications or anything i may of missed. If all goes well, it could be possibly be released by the end of next week.
Secondly, with the mood hack, there will be a offline status choice for people, who want to leave a somewhat "note" (symbol) to other users on why they are not online. (sort of a yahoo messenger, aol messenger type deal)

Also, there is a member rate hack that is almost completed, that will go with the user profile hack...(not sure on this as of yet...)

Also in the works, is a user bookmark system where users can add bookmarks to thier profile, recommend, or save them for personal use, a admin notepad for possibly the mods as well (which is just about complete...) and a user comments section, that may or may not go with the rate a player hack. (if people want to have just a annoymous rate, or both, this will cover those bases)

anyways, the buddy list will get a workover to make sure everything is covered, and the user profile will be brought down in size, with just a few minor changes to the over-all layout.

The upload, as brad has stated, will be sent off to me, so we can do a fresh install and run it one more time with the new changes recommended by Freddie.

If all goes well, expect the first crop either by Friday, or in two weeks. we want to make sure everything is properly documented, tested and user approved before we dish it out to anybody.

Again, thanks for the interest.

Just one thought to all of this...i was curious on whether or not there would be interest for a admin panel member warning system.
The reason i bring this up, is that sometimes members really do not know where they sit with the admin, or mods when it concerns some of thier posts, and the thin ice that they scate on.
Of course, they are warned by the admin or mods in posts, but sometimes (supposedly) they never see these warnings.
There are two drawbacks to it that i can see of. One, is the obvious patronizing fact of having a warning system for all to view, and secondly, there is the problems of when is enough enough...lol..(warnings to give)
Of course there could be the possibility of having the results hidden to all except for the mods and admin, but that defeats the whole purpose of it really. This would not be a automatic delete system either. It would just be the markings, and than it would be up to the admin to decide when the amount = the termination of the account.


It would not consist of a whole lot really other than the admin could warn a memeber from the admin panel with sort of a "x" or "check" setup, that would represent admin, or even possibly mod warnings.
Kind of a three strikes and your out type of deal for the admin or mods to give to members.

I just thought i would bring it up, because there are a ton of ideas we have been throwing around, and it sounded good at the time...lol..

The multipage user profile system, is that kind of like bolt.com? Or what kind of featureset are you working on? I'm getting set to add stuff to the control panel and public profile display.

Ethank,

I personally have never been to bolt.com but after going there, I don't think so... they have a lot of stuff going on over there, I am just making pages full of information on the user to make it more of a personal site, where everyone can get to know each other... so they know who they are posting and interacting with.

So kind of like, for my purposes a tab for REM Top 10 lists, a tab for messages they have posted, a tab for say, bookmarks, etc?

the user area would be a basic pit stop for everything that we add extra.
I like tucking the things in the usercp area, due to the security of protecting it from non members. We also have them set that if a person does lets say...bookmark the addy, it will still call for the permissions..so its a double safe valve.

All of the above mentioned ideas, minus the admin notes, or warning would be found inside the usercp area, so it is highly possible of creating a tab system for just that sort of thing, however, Brad has done a multi-page user area that really looks nice, so there are all sorts of options to this i guess.
We will see how everything tests out, and go from there.

Is that multi-page user area online anywhere to see? Or screen shots?

I was thinking of improving the display of the users profile when you click their username. Right now it doesn't tell you much.

I had previously two different styles for it, that were in a two page length, that were tabled out. One was a "staircase" design, and the other was a layout style.
That was scrapped in favor of the one i have now displayed in here as a screen shot demo in the beginning of this thread (screen shot 4 i think..not sure...), but i am going to go back to the multi-page layout.
Rite now, the only multipage display that exits, is Brads, and it is unclear whether he plans on including that or not, or linking a somewhat demo of what we will be offering of that style..

Rest assured, there will be other styles with these hacks throughout the span of the hack, and most of them will be a multipage, or tab setup that info can be dropped in or out with little or no problems.

Anything public for demo yet?
