North American Sports Team Icons · **Released**: 09-30-2009

Want to show off the pride of your favorite sports team and allow your members to do the same?

This mod creates such a feature on your site.

Your members can select up to 3 teams they root for or support. This will show up in the postbit area on the forum.

Whether it's the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, or NCAA, we have it covered. You can add your own custom images as well or add to the list already provided.

It's an easy little add on with big results.

Step By Step Installation:

1) Upload the entire "teams" folder in your forumname.com/images/folder.

2) Go to your admincp->User Profile Fields->Add New User Profile Field.

3) For the Profile Field Type pick the 4th selection from the dropdown list.
The name of it is "Single-Selection Menu". Now press continue.

4) On the new page, fill out this information :
Title: My Favorite Sports Team
Description: Select your favorite team from the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, or NCAA.
Options: (Copy and paste in the options box, the list below. Copy it exactly as it is,
and keep in mind that each team must appear on a separate line)

LIST OF TEAMS IN FILE

Set Default: None
Display Order: Don't change this. Only thing you have to do, is to WRITE DOWN the number(ID) given in the "Display Order" field.
You will need it later on during this installation.!!!
Field Required: No
Field Editable by User: Yes
Private Field: No
Field Searchable on Members List: No
Show on Members List: No
Option Input:
Allow user to input their own value for this option: No
Max length: Don't change it
Display Size: Don't change it
Regular Expression: Leave it blank
Display Page: Select "Edit Profile"

Click SAVE button.

If you just want one team listed, continue on, but only use one line of the <if condition> line below in the code you must Add.
If you want to add more teams, then just add more lines between the <div> code. Also if you want more teams listed...
MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETE THE ABOVE STEP FOR AS MANY TEAMS AS YOU WANT YOUR USERS TO SELECT.

5) Now go to Styles & templates->Style Manager. Now you are looking at all the styles you are using for your forum.
Pick the style you want to apply this hack by changing the dropdown selection next to it, to "Edit Templates".

6) On the new page, find the postbit or postbit_legacy template (depends which one you are using for your forum) and double click on it to edit it.

7) In your code find:

Code:

<if condition="$show['reputation']"><div><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: $post[reppower]</if>$post[reputationdisplay]</div></if>
<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>
</div>

Below Add:

Code:

<div align="center">
<if condition="$post[fieldX] != ''"><img src="images/teams/$post[fieldX].gif" title="$post[fieldX]" align="center" border="0"/></if>
<if condition="$post[fieldX] != ''"><img src="images/teams/$post[fieldX].gif" title="$post[fieldX]" align="center" border="0"/></if>
<if condition="$post[fieldX] != ''"><img src="images/teams/$post[fieldX].gif" title="$post[fieldX]" align="center" border="0"/></if>
</div>

BEFORE clicking Save, change the [fieldX] to the number(ID) given by the system in step 4 Display Order. For example [fieldX] will be changed to [field9].
Change all 3 [fieldX] and now you may click Save.

Finally, if you covered all the above steps correctly, you will be able to see a dropdown selection list for American Sports Teams Hack in your UserCP-> Edit Profile

NOTE: The above code is for 3 teams listed in your postbit side-by-side. If you don't care for the team logos I created, simply create your own and name them how you would want them entered on the option drop down. You'll notice that the images names are the same as we have listed.

This mod/hack could be used for almost anything that you wanted your members to be able to select an image in place of text.

Any questions or problems, please let me know.

FYI, I included the college teams in this mod, but if you just want the professional sports, just do not copy those team names in the options area.

Enjoy!

Version 1.2:
Added UFL logos to the system.

Version 1.1:
1. Edited the file to fix a spelling error.
2. Changed the icons for Columbus Blue Jackets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and NFL.

Thanks

No it doesn't work as is in vBulletin 4... Mostly the <if> statements are different in VB4...

Instead of

Code:

<if condition="xxx"> </if>

change them to:

Code:

<vb:if condition="xxx"> </vb:if>

And no the part in read is supposed to be two single quotes with nothing in-between them representing an empty string.

Is there a way to edit these icons?

BirdOPrey5 · #65 05-22-2011, 12:25 AM

They are gif files, you can edit them like any other image.

TNERatedEdge · #66 05-22-2011, 12:33 AM

Alright, thank you, and I can do that right in styles in the admin cp?

TNERatedEdge · #67 05-22-2011, 03:20 PM

If anyone knows how to edit these images, please let me know.

Yes in the Admin CP -> Style Manager -> (choose your style) -> Edit Templates -> Postbit or postbit_legacy template, whichever you are setup to use.

You have to do the edits for every style you have (that you want it to work in.)

You can edit the images with any image editor like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. A free one is GiMP (http://www.gimp.org/).

You can also create new images... Just save them as FILENAME.gif and then in the user profile field add FILENAME (without the .gif) to the list of options.

The original icons are 50 pixels wide by 40 icons tall so you will want your custom icons exactly or close to that size.

TNERatedEdge · #69 05-22-2011, 04:18 PM

Thanks,but where would I put the new image path? in the admin cp?

BirdOPrey5 · #70 05-22-2011, 04:53 PM

Assuming you've already installed the mod you put new images in the same directory as the other images.

You add them as options in the Admin CP-> User Profile Field Manager and edit the 3 profiles fields you created. Simply add the filename without the extension into the list of options.

TNERatedEdge · #71 05-26-2011, 10:17 PM

I have credited all new logos, would anyone be interested in installing them for me? I'd pay you of course.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
