This modification is in the archives.
vB Version: 3.7.x Rating: (1 vote - 5.00 average) Installs: 28
Released: 03 Jul 2008 Last Update: 26 Oct 2008 Downloads: 120
Not Supported Uses Plugins Template Edits Auto-Template Additional Files Re-usable Code  

What is it?

This mod will allow you to have an extra "module" on user profile pages which will display a xfire status block with a miniprofile link and option to add the user to your contacts list.

Demo?


http://www.sog-team.co.uk/forum/member.php?u=539

See right hand side of profile page.

Installation Instructions:

1)
First add a new profile field if not already present, where the user can add their xfire user id.
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Use the following options:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Save

2)
Now add another profile field again if not already done so previously. This will be the style options.


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Save

3)
Upload the attached image to forum/images

4)
Upload the attached product xml

5)
Now edit template "memberinfo_block_xfire" for the relevant styles

For all instances of $userinfo[fieldxx], replace "xx" with the number of the field ID for your xfire user ID entry field created.

For the one instance of $userinfo[field00], replace "00" with the field ID of your xfire style selection profile field (the second one we created in this tutorial)

Save the template.

6) COMPLETE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Display Options

Now although it seems as if this mod may only be displayed on the right hand side as shown in the demo, you may actually change its order or have it displayed in a new tab on the left if required (as there can be some problems with the image sizing when as a block on the right)

All you have to do is this.

1)
Go
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

2)
Edit the plugin, ensure it is set as a product for "vbulletin", then edit the PHP code to find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

3)
Now change "profile_right_mini" with any of the following explained options:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

4) Done

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPGRADE:

Please just import the new product XML, and ensure you click "overwrite" to YES!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shouldn't the style options be a single selection menu?

Also, you might want to resize the image you attached since we have to resize it using code to fit in the block. The image gets distorted when you do that.

Edit again: Actually, both images have to be resized via code, distorting them.

Edit 3: It still shows the block in the profile if you don't put anything in the profile field.

Correct. Sorry last night I was tired and probably should have released this mod today.

Basically both images have to be resized if used as a module on the right hand side. I will attach a better xfire logo later, but regarding the actual miniprofile, there is little possible to do bar manually adjust its size like ive done in the template SRC.

However, you are not restricted to use this mod only in the right hand side. You may use it in various locations, even as a new tab next to "Visitor Messages", "Friends", "About Me" etc should you wish.

Simply edit the member_info_xfire template and remove the
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

from the miniprofile SRC.

Now go
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Ensure the product is "vbulletin" for starters, and secondly in the PHP code find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

You may adjust the "profile_right_mini" to any of the following parameters:

'profile_left_first' (Will be displayed first in front of "Visitor Messages")
'profile_left_last' (Will be located last in the tabs after "Contact Info")
'profile_right_first' (Will be located first / top on the right)
'profile_right_mini' (Will be located after the mini stats block)
'profile_right_album' (Will be located after the albums block)
'profile_right_last' (Last block on right hand side)

Hope that helps, and sorry about the problems experienced. Ive updated the mod as above.

Matt

My version of vBulletin is actually 3.7.3 and im having the same problem as michael. I have a good knowledge base of vBulletin and Skins and I've tried moving a couple things around, yet still. It's not working.

What do you think might be the problem?

Mine works, but it realy screws up everything, view screenshot to see.

memberinfo_block_xfire

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Another thing, you need to remove the <img src="/forum/images/xfire_logo.jpg" and rename it to <img src="images/xfire_logo.jpg" instead >8P Something is definantly wrong though, and i am assuming it's because i do not allow html, and it has html tags there. Anyway you can make this mod work without the use of html?
EDIT1: Ok monkeying around with the template, you need to remove thead, that messes up the placement, now i just need to figure out how to remove the linking of the vbulletin version and everything.

Alternative Method

Ok, i kinda ripped up your code to suit my needs, and all is working fine now, but something in the plugin is making the vbulletin legal info as a link which bothers me.

memberinfo_block_xfire

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I suggest all who is having problems with this displaying correctly to replace the old template code with this one i just posted. Just upload my attached image to the images folder. Only drawback atleast for me is the vbulletin legal info gets hyperlinked, and i think it's due to the plugin code itself but can't say for sure. To the dev, i am sorry for altering your code, but alot of people are having problems with this, and i feel this would be a good alternative method of your hack. If you could show us how to mend the plugin code to the way i have it set up, all will be good with those that have a skin that won't display your mod as it should.

No, that code doesnt work above, the code ive provided is there for a reason and certainly isnt hassle and certainly works . Its nothing to do with the plugin, that is just PHP functions which wont mess up the display.

I dont know where you got that template code from :s That HTML is to do with the product xml only and is the reason your display is messed up.

This is the only code you need to use in the template:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

That, will fix your display

Of course I dont mind people using the code or modifying it, providing it works lol

I will try your method, i meant no offense to you btw. The way i had it does work as i said, the only thing that is wrong is it hyperlinking the vbulletin legal info stuff due to plugin code.

Yes sorry, im not implying by the fact it is wrong it doesnt display the module, im more saying the fact the code you cut out was in fact needed in order to display correctly (ie fix the link you report). The code you cut out was required in order to actually correctly fix the display positions.

Lastly, you didnt cause any offence, I actually appreciate your effort, however posting code that could mess up users displays further then stating "it is less hassle and works" doesnt exactly state the truth

It isnt the plugin code 100%, I promise you. If you look and have knowledge of PHP, you will notice the functions do not affect the display to that extent. It is if you cut out the code I provided, and use the plugin, then it will cause those issues.

To cut a long story short anyhow, you identified for me that the reason why some displays arent working for users is in fact an error in the product xml.

Ive updated to v1.01 which should provide fixes for those experiencing difficulties. Please upgrade and overwrite the product.

Thanks

Matt

Ok, i tried it your way, still utterly breaks everything to look ugly. You do not need to input /forums/ as when your img sourcing it goes by the root of the forum, not the site.

Your Way


My Way


Now from my point of view, my html code works, not saying yours doesn't, but then look up to the first image and see for yourself. I didn't change any plugincode, and the html i used was what you posted, just changed the xx's to the id and oo to style. My problem could be due to the style i a using though, but all in all, this shouldn't happen regardless, especially for a mod like this.
