Profile Enhancements - Profile Update - myspace/facebook layout

This is a pre-pre-release beta version. I'm only releasing this for people to use as a starter for their page. This may contain bugs, and may not work correctly.

Unfortunately I don't have enough spare time to support this, so please only install this if you're confident changing things. Any ideas or suggestions please let me know.

What does this do?
This will change your profile page to have a myspace/facebook style layout.

This creates new templates so should not alter anything.

This also uses standard css classes so should fit into any skin.

It should squeeze down to 800x600 (just) and stops expanding around 1000 wide so it doesn't look too warped.

Version History
0.1 - Initial test/pre-release version

5 - Create profile fields for these categories (as shown in attached photo). You can use your own ones for these. Use myspace or facebook to get the list of values for each field.
6 - Modify MEMBERINFO_new and memberinfo_css_new to suit.

Please remember I'm unable to support this so please understand that installing this under the expectation of changing things yourself.

Also i've only been programming/using vBulletin for a month so there may be some obvious errors - please let me know if there are. I'm not usually a php coder.

Uhm, good!!! Is there a way to have html in bbcode to put images or slideshow or video in about me or other section?
Thanks guys!

I've just got in from work so I can now spend time adding to this

I will attempt to put in a bulletin section and I will see what else I can implement

Any other features you would like to see?

Here is a list of four main things that I think would really set this mod off. Let me know what you can do with it. It would be great if we could keep each other updated as frequently as possible on this mod. So we know how you are doing. And we can keep suggesting things to you and beta testing them.

Here is the list.

1. Bulletin shared amongst friends.
2. Top Friends list.
3. And buttons where the contact info is. Like the real myspace. Add Buddy, Pm, etc.
4. And of course the better friends list. Mine is just temporary until you come up with a better way.

Well if you look at my demo, I have the MySpace buttons in there already.

I am working on the Bulletin now

Hex_legend - are you working on BOTH profiles? Facebook and MySpace?

[OsideRida06]

Oh yeah I see it now. You have to register to see it. HAHA. I was wondering what you were talking about.

I actually do not have msn. If you have AIM or Yahoo here are my names.

AIM - OsideRida06
Yahoo - hellafine_guy2780

Hit me up if you have either of the two.

I am basing it more on MySpace as I don't have facebook, but when I have finished with this one, I may create another one for facebook

[Megatr0n]

The one released by psylenced is more of a facebook clone?

[Hex_legend]

Like I said, I will release another version after this one

[OsideRida06]

Hex and I are going back and forth with ideas here. You guys are going to love what we come up with.
