Profile Enhancements - User notes visibile immediately on user's profile

With this you could have user notes visible immediately on user's profile and you could add them, edit them and everything else you do with user notes without need to go to separate window.

This was inspired by @rammieone question here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=161

You need to edit at least one template (MEMBERINFO), but probably you would like to edit two more templates to make it more practical.

To add usernotes inside member profile edit MEMBERINFO template.

Two most logical places is above and below user's profile tabs.

To place it above user's profile tabs find:

{vb:raw memberinfo_customize}

To place it below user's profile tabs find:

{vb:raw template_hook.profile_tabs}

In both cases below add this:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"><div><IFRAME SRC="usernote.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw prepared.userid}" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="300"></IFRAME></div></vb:if>

With $bbuserinfo,5,6,7 you define which usergroups will see user notes inside user's profile.

You could define height to different value, depending what you prefer, it doesn't have to be 300px. Also you could add FRAMEBORDER=0 if you don't want border around your IFRAME.

Also, you can made this into collapsible block, so if you don't want to see it time from time, use this html code instead:

<div class="block collapse" id="usernotes_in_userprofile">
	<h2 class="blockhead"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/note.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase user_notes}" class="inlineimg" /> {vb:rawphrase user_notes} ({vb:raw prepared.usernotecount})

<a class="collapse" id="collapse_usernotesprofile" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse{vb:raw vbcollapse.collapseimg_cel_dummy_img}_40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase collapse_this_category}" /></a>

</h2>
	<div class="blockbody settings_form_border" id="usernotesprofile">

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"><div><IFRAME SRC="usernote.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw prepared.userid}" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="300"></IFRAME></div></vb:if>

	</div>
</div>

Code for making something into collapsible block you can find here.

In case that you decide to use this template change, it would be wise to change two additional templates, to remove unwanted header, navbar and footer.

Edit templates usernote and usernote_note

Remove from them:

{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}


{vb:raw footer}

In template usernote you also need to find:

<div id="pagetitle">
	<h1>{vb:rawphrase user_notes_for_x, {vb:raw userinfo.username}}</h1>
</div>

Add below two </BR> so you have:

<div id="pagetitle">
	<h1>{vb:rawphrase user_notes_for_x, {vb:raw userinfo.username}}</h1>
</div>
</br>
</br>

This is that button for adding new user notes is separated from title of page.

I attached image how it looks if you place it above user's profile tabs.

v1.00 - Initial version.
v2.00 - Added option that usernotes block can be collapsible. Also changed text you need to find and add code below it, if you want it above user profile tabs.

Ah darn, hopefully someone knows. :P

Just an idea, you can test and see if it will work or not.

Every file has something like this on beginning:

PHP Code:

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'usernote'); 


This one is from usernote.php. Try to edit usernote and put profile instead. It can affect how vBulletin works, so be prepared to put things back and if it would work, test other things as well before you start thinking that it solved your problem.

Mark said it would involve editing core files, so I went ahead and just removed this from the themes. Thanks though.
