FAQ

1. How do I configure what forum report threads should go to?
   At the top of userpage.php, there are several clearly documented variables that you can edit. One of these establishes the forumid that you want reported pages to be reported to.

Did you read through my exhaustive post on a way to manually uninstall?

It's a bit long-winded, but hopefully helpful.

The error you're getting is that the uninstaller is trying to drop a table that's probably already been dropped. You need to go in, restore the dropped tables, then run the uninstaller again. Full details are in the above post.

Going to try and put them all in one post. Maybe someone can help answer them all? If I miss one, let me know and I'll add it to this post.

I'll give it a try. I can't answer all of them, but I'll try to offer some insight:

1. Any progress on un-install issue. (Forum SQL errors after trying to remove)

The uninstaller fails because some tables aren't getting dropped or its trying to drop tables that don't exist. See my "Oh My Gosh I've broken it" post to manually uninstall:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=977

2. How do you turn off the rating option?

Its easiest to just edit it out of the Userpage template (Not Userpage.PHP). Find the following code in the Userpage Template and remove:

<if condition="$canrate">
<td class="tcat" id="rate" nowrap="nowrap" width="25%" align="right"><a href="#rate">$vbphrase[rate_userpage]</a>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("rate"); </script>
</td>
<else />
<td class="tcat" nowrap="nowrap" width="25%" align="right">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$rating.gif" border="0">

And also remove the following:

<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_5.gif" alt="$vbphrase[excellent]" /><label for="vote5"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote5" value="5" $votechecked[5] />$vbphrase[excellent]</label></div>
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_4.gif" alt="$vbphrase[good]" /><label for="vote4"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote4" value="4" $votechecked[4] />$vbphrase[good]</label></div>
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_3.gif" alt="$vbphrase[average]" /><label for="vote3"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote3" value="3" $votechecked[3] />$vbphrase[average]</label></div>
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_2.gif" alt="$vbphrase[bad]" /><label for="vote2"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote2" value="2" $votechecked[2] />$vbphrase[bad]</label></div>
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_1.gif" alt="$vbphrase[terrible]" /><label for="vote1"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote1" value="1" $votechecked[1] />$vbphrase[terrible]</label></div>

Obviously you will want to tweak the layout since you are getting rid of a major part of the page.

3. Is there any if conditions to show a link only if the user has a page up?

Not that I have been able to find. You may want to search the thread because some alternatives were stated, but I can't guarentee they work.

4. Report this page, brings up a blank page and doesn't post in the desired forum.

I don't want to speak for Amy, but I believe this is a function not fully implemented yet. I created a custom form page through CMPS (Portal) and simply linked to it. You can also just put a simple email link.

5. Cant delete pages, and some users cant create pages?

This is almost always a permissions issue that's been overlooked in the setup. You may wish to check this post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=356

for the solution.

6. user pages searchable using the vbulletin search function?

Nope.

7. Why is the wording for the page rating dropdown missing?

Not sure about this one. Perhaps its a color issue? An example (link) would be helpful.

Hopefully this helps. I'll do my best to drop in and address issues.

I want to point out that nearly all of these issues have been brought up before. I highly recommend checking the links above and using the "Search this thread" function if you are still having specific issues.

I want to stress that I'm not a programmer and "learned by doing", but mostly it just takes time, experimenting and NOT giving up.

DELETED IT

3.6.0 v ?

[Trana]

Is there any way to integrate the content of a user's page into their profile?

I've tested it in 3.6.0 and it seems to work pretty much the same.

Only thing I noticed is that the pages do not get reported, even though the reported post forumID is set.

BTW Amykhar. In the example http://www.eaforums.com/forums/userp...main&userid=22

How did you manage to get the picture located where the wording would start from the top of the post box?

Unless you used full html on that post?

[Anarchy]

Works fine with 3.6.0 and i don't know about the report issue as i changed it to email us instead of post to a forum.

[rastler]

When some one clicks on this link, It tries to fetch for a template usepage_report which is not present...

Why would you honestly want to? Most pages are varied, have graphics, etc. What did you specifically have in mind? If anything, I'd think you'd want it the other way around; listing certain items from the profile on the Userpage itself.

So, the short answer is no. Aside from the link in the profile to the userpage itself.

[Trana]

Well, I don't see this hack as much different from a fancy profile field. Last time I checked, users could only create one page, so it would most likely be used as a personal sort of page (i.e. myspace). If you are running one of the myspace profile rewrite template hacks, then it makes perfect sense to have the userpage editor and display in the user profile.

The way it is now, it is entirely too disjointed from the rest of the existing user based customization options.

Your thoughts?

[Chris Lang]

Personally I wouldn't want this as part of my users' profiles, but that's a design decision I suppose. I'm also running Journal and IBProArcade, so I don't really see User Pages as a seperate function as a bad thing.

My Users are creating some very large and complex user pages (similar to what you'd see on some Myspace pages) and I honestly wouldn't want them cluttering up the Profiles with it.

I'm sure there's a way to do it, but that kind of customization would probably just involve a completely new hack.

Yes, this is I believe a function that was never fully implemented (or may have just been accidently left out of the latest build). You may just want to change this link to an email link or a link to a custom form of your own.

[Mysticales]

Well I installed it now, so far not too bad. Not the system we used to have.. but it works. =)
