Mini Mods - MySpace & FaceBook buttons in member profile and postbit

Updated version with more options here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=174863



What is it?

This modification adds the MySpace & FaceBook icons to the Postbit/Postbit_legacy & MEMBERINFO templates. It will display and link to the member's myspace and facebook profiles from there postbit and profiles.

How is it done?

- 2 Image uploads
- 2 Profile fields
- 2 Template edits

Other Info

What gave me this idea was this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=142290
I did not copy any of his code. He said he was going to try and add it to the member profile, so I went ahead and did it.

Instructions

Instructions and images and located in the .zip folder attached to this post.

PLEASE CLICK INSTALL!

UPDATES:

v2.0:

- Added stylevar so that it cuts down 2 temp edits.
- Changed image directory to /forum/images/YOURSKIN/misc instead of /forum/images/misc.
- Fixed </if> coding error.

No real need to update or re download if you have it working already! This update is mainly for user's that have never installed or can't get it working.

v3.0

Just one minor template edit. This was brought to my attention by jmurrayhead. Go to the MEMBERINFO template.

FIND:

<if condition="$show['hasimicons']">

REPLACE WITH:

<if condition="$show['hasimicons'] OR $userinfo['fieldXX'] OR $userinfo['fieldXX']">

Replace the XX's with the field numbers for your MySpace & Facebook profile fields.

In 3.7, the postbit has the following:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

But instead of the original template update:

<if condition="$show['hasimicons'] OR $userinfo['fieldXX'] OR $userinfo['fieldXX']">

try this:

<if condition="$userinfo['fieldXX'] OR $userinfo['fieldXX']">

I haven't tested this myself, but might as well give it a try...

For 3.7.* users who would like something like the attached image

In memberinfo_block_contatinfo look for

	<if condition="$prepared['hasimdetails']">
		<fieldset>
			<legend>$vbphrase[instant_messaging]</legend>
			<div class="fieldset_padding floatcontainer">
				<div><phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[send_instant_message_to_x_using]</phrase></div>
				<ul class="list_no_decoration" id="instant_messaging_list">
					$block_data[imbits]
				</ul>
			</div>
		</fieldset>
	</if>

and replace with

	<if condition="$show['hasimicons'] OR $userinfo['field6']">
		<fieldset>
			<legend>$vbphrase[instant_messaging]</legend>
			<div class="fieldset_padding floatcontainer">
				<div><phrase 1="$prepared[username]"></phrase></div>
				<ul class="list_no_decoration" id="instant_messaging_list">
					$block_data[imbits]
                          <if condition="$userinfo['fieldXX']"><br />
			<td><a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=$userinfo[fieldXX]"target="_blank"><img src="../images/misc/im_facebook.gif"border="0"alt="View Member's FaceBook Profile"></td></a>&nbsp;
			<td><font color="#938d91" size="1">Facebook &nbsp;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=$userinfo[fieldXX]"target="_blank"></font>&nbsp;<phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[visit_x_facebook_profile]</phrase></a></td>
			  </if>
				</ul>

			</div>
		</fieldset>
	</if>

Replace [fieldXX] with the field number of your Facebook profile field

Replace ../images/misc/im_facebook.gif with the location of your facebook gif, and rename it accordingly.

Add New Phrase in Phrase Manager with varname: 'visit_x_facebook_profile' and text: 'Visit {1}'s Facebook Profile'

Search in admincp Phrases for $vbphrase[instant_messaging], replace with what ever you want. I chose Messaging and Social Networking.

Cheers

This worked except for some minor issues. In the link on the instructions it shows for example: www.facebook.com/user/profile.php?id=1234567. However, the 'user' folder should be removed otherwise the finished link will redirect you to a non-working url.
