#249816 - 06/09/03 07:08 PM Beta-[6.2] ExtraInfo 1.3
Gardener Addict Registered: 05/11/99 Posts: 1966 Loc: Sweden, Stockholm	Mod Name / Version: ExtraInfo 1.3 <br /> <br />Description: Shows the users Extra fields next to their posts, as well as an ICQ status indicator. <br /> <br />Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.2 <br /> <br />Mod Status: Beta <br /> <br />Any pre-requisites: None <br /> <br />Author(s): Gardener <br /> <br />Date: 06/09/03 <br /> <br />Credits: flyingcrow for coming up with the idea and pkassab for bullying me to update it =] <br /> <br />Files Altered: showflat.php, showthreaded.php, showflat.tmpl, showthreaded.tmpl, config.inc.php <br /> <br />New Files: None <br /> <br />Database Altered: No <br /> <br />Info/Instructions: This is just an update of the instructions to work with UBB.threads 6.2.3, no new functionality added. Please report any problems you might have and I'll try to fix them as soon as possible. I don't use this myself but I hope it works and that you might find it useful. If you have the MultipleSigs hack you will have to do some extra changes for it to work, please see the extra instructions at the end. <br /> <br />Changes in 1.3: Added the possibility to use the content of the fields directly in the templates, without the added description and br-tag. <br /> <br />Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify. <br />If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so. <br /> <br />Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files. <br /> <br /> Attachments 83690-ExtraInfo-1_3.txt (72 downloads) Edited by Gardener (06/14/03 10:29 PM) _________________________ /Gardener \| Complete list of my mods

Gardener Addict Registered: 05/11/99 Posts: 1966 Loc: Sweden, Stockholm	Well, I've been promising this for ages and I finally managed to remember to get it done. I'm trying to tie up some loose ends now that the semester is over and I have some time to get some things done. _________________________ /Gardener \| Complete list of my mods

ericgtr Junior Member Registered: 05/12/03 Posts: 1109	Garedener, it would be cool if people could launch a message from the users Extra info under their avatar. What if we were to add the: Code: <a href="aim:goim?screenname=screenname&message=Are+you+there?">screenname</a> to this line (3 in my case): Code: $postrow[$i]['Extra3'] = ($userextra3) ? "{$config['extra3']}: {$userextra3}<br />" : ""; and have it so it picks up the name variable where it says screenname. Do you think this is possible?

Gardener Addict Registered: 05/11/99 Posts: 1966 Loc: Sweden, Stockholm	Sure it is. Just change the line into this: <br /> <br /> Code: <br />$postrow[$i]['Extra3'] = ($userextra3) ? "{$config['extra3']}: <a href=\"aim:goim?screenname={$userextra3}&message=Are+you+there?\">{$userextra3}</a><br />" : ""; <br /> <br /> <br />Now that I think of it, the content of the extra fields should be readable in the template without the extra stuff, so that you can do these things in the template yourself. I did it like this since I didn't want an empty entry if there isn't anything in the field, but giving the option to use both ways would be quite nice. I think I'll update the instructions...

Gardener Addict Registered: 05/11/99 Posts: 1966 Loc: Sweden, Stockholm	Updated the instructions to add plain variables with only the content of the fields for those who want to customize the look of this in their template. See the first post of the thread for these instructions. _________________________ /Gardener \| Complete list of my mods

ericgtr Junior Member Registered: 05/12/03 Posts: 1109	Okay, I tried this and got Code: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/vhfansco/public_html/boards/showflat.php on line 766<br /> <br />Also if we can make it so we can use this image []http://www.vhfans.com/boards/images/aim-icon.gif[/] this will be a full AIM addon <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Gardener Addict Registered: 05/11/99 Posts: 1966 Loc: Sweden, Stockholm	Sorry about that, I didn't check the code and missed some escape characters, my original post is updated.<br /><br />Here is a version using the AIM icon as well:<br /> Code: <br />$postrow[$i]['Extra3'] = ($userextra3) ? "{$config['extra3']}: <a href=\"aim:goim?screenname={$userextra3}&message=Are+you+there?\"><img src=\"{$config['images']}/aim-icon.gif\" alt=\"{$userextra3}\" title=\"{$userextra3}\" border=\"0\" /></a><br />" : "";<br /> <br />This should work, provided that the aim icon is in your standard threads images directory.<br /><br />If you don't want the initial description, use this instead:<br /> Code: <br />$postrow[$i]['Extra3'] = ($userextra3) ? "<a href=\"aim:goim?screenname={$userextra3}&message=Are+you+there?\"><img src=\"{$config['images']}/aim-icon.gif\" alt=\"{$userextra3}\" title=\"{$userextra3}\" border=\"0\" /></a><br />" : "";<br /> _________________________ /Gardener \| Complete list of my mods

ericgtr Junior Member Registered: 05/12/03 Posts: 1109	Excellent, works like a charm. Thanks for coming up with the AIM mod <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The link is in my sig if anywant wants to check it out. I just did a google search for aim icon and there are several to choose from.

Gardener Addict Registered: 05/11/99 Posts: 1966 Loc: Sweden, Stockholm	That's good to hear, looks good on your site as well!<br /><br />I'm thinking of doing a mod to use all of the most popular messengers, shouldn't be too hard. I'm not sure if it would be best to have separate fields for each program, or just one field and let the user choose which one it is. There are pros and cons with both alternatives. _________________________ /Gardener \| Complete list of my mods

Here is the code for Yahoo (yim) if anyone is interested, it will also show the online (smilie) indicator<br />

Code:

	 $postrow[$i]['Extra4'] = ($userextra4) ? "&lt;a href=\"http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target={$userextra4}\"target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"{$config['images']}/yahoo-icon.gif\" alt=\"{$userextra4}\" title=\"{$userextra4}\" border=\"0\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img SRC=\"http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u={$userextra4}&amp;m=g&amp;t=0\" BORDER=0 alt=\"\"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" : "";

<br /><br />Also I can't seem to get any output from $postrow5, even without a mod on it?

Gardener Addict Registered: 05/11/99 Posts: 1966 Loc: Sweden, Stockholm	Thanks for the code of Yahoo, I'll get these added in somehow, either in this mod or in a separate one with some more options.<br /><br />[]Also I can't seem to get any output from $postrow5, even without a mod on it?[/]<br /><br />Do you mean that you can't use $postrow[$i]['Extra5'] in your showflat template? It should work, I can't see anything wrong with it at least. _________________________ /Gardener \| Complete list of my mods

ericgtr Junior Member Registered: 05/12/03 Posts: 1109	Correct, for some reason when I assign it a name it still doesn't display under the icon. I suppose I could have missed something while installing the mod, I will have to double check []http://www.vhfans.com/boards/images/graemlins/headscratch.gif[/] <br /><br />I wanted to also add one for MSN but I can't find code for it anywhere, other message boards that have a "msn" indicator takes them to their profile. I have a feeling there isn't anything available for it.<br /><br />Also on a side note, I pulled the <br /> out from the end of $postrow 3 so I could have AIM and YIM on one row.

Gardener Addict Registered: 05/11/99 Posts: 1966 Loc: Sweden, Stockholm	Do you have the field turned on in threads config file? If it isn't, it won't display.<br /><br />Also, since you have several messengers, I'm wondering if you have seen any people who have entered more than one of them? _________________________ /Gardener \| Complete list of my mods

ericgtr Junior Member Registered: 05/12/03 Posts: 1109	Yes I have it set as Yahoo and it shows up in My Home as well. I personally am the only one who has put more than one in so far on my site.

Gardener Addict Registered: 05/11/99 Posts: 1966 Loc: Sweden, Stockholm	I can take a look at the files for you if you want to see if I can find the problem. All extra fields show up at my test site, and from what I can see I haven't missed anything in the instructions. _________________________ /Gardener \| Complete list of my mods
