edit profile link integrated with forum profile link

mtha · December 11th, 2006, 05:12 PM

member.php, line 123

if ( ($User['userid'] == $uid || $User['adminedit'] == 1) )
{
$clickedit = " (<a href=\"{$Globals['maindir']}/member.php?ppaction=edit&uid=$uid\">{$Globals['pp_lang']['editmy']}</a>)";
}

The link to "edit my profile" should not be displayed in vB integration, or it should link to vb's edit profile page.

PhotoPost includes it's own gallery profile page which can be edited by the user separate form their vBulletin profile.

mjm · December 11th, 2006, 09:48 PM

(We're integrated with vB users but not using vB enhanced)

What we've done on the page that links from the username ...
site/gallery/member.php?uid=1234)

Where it shows the Profile link on the left ...
We've inserted the link to the users Forum Profile here.
We made this upen to a new window so that a viewer doesn't lose their place at the gallery page.

Then where it shows the gallery Profile (edit my profile) on the right ...
We're in the process of removing all the fields but keeping the About Me field.

This way the users main profile is at the forums and the About Me profile can be for the user to to enter info about their Gallery pics and is displayed on this username page.

We will probably name this My Gallery Profile.

We actually have 3 PP Pro Gallerys licenses tied in with one VB forum, each gallery covering a different photo subject field.
Now a user can have the forum as their main profile, and can also have a profile intro for each gallery.

Very cool! Thanks Michael!

BTW I especially like that we can use bbcode and insert url links back to the forum etc in their profile ...
[url = link]intro post about me and my pics [/url] in the About Me Profile, because members can refer to specific forum thread postings in their profile

Cheers,
Mark

Right, I wanted this page to be a little more flexible for the user being able to create a "gallery presence" separate from their forum presence.

mjm · December 11th, 2006, 10:24 PM

That's great Michael!
We were able to remove the parts we didn't want in the editprofile.tmpl and kept the About Me field.
We renamed the gallery profile to My Gallery Profile in the language directory.
We also removed the About Me name because it is not needed this way as this field now shows directly below My Gallery Profile.

Because we have the Profile link on the left side now going to the users Forum Profile we removed the Forum Profile link on the statistics page (profile.templ) because the link we've replaced at the profile link on the left also shows when viewing the Statistics page.

Again, thanks for this new addition and I hope the above is of use to others who may want to tailor the new gallery profile to their needs.

Let's try a title change and moving to How Do I for better exposure.

mjm - would you mind sharing your code changes so I might implement a similar scheme? Thanks if yes, no worries if not.

Hi funkmeister,
Not a problem. My wife CaroleM made the changes ... I'm just the gimme guy

She'll be recording the notes of changes we've made so far and we will post it here. (She's working this weekend so it may take a day)

The new gallery profile is going to be very cool as members can use bbcode to organize links directed to albums or specific threads at the forums discussing their photos ... even use the img code with linked thumbnails to albums or forum threads.

We have yet to officially introduce this new feature, and my first step will be to set up my own (example) gallery profile.
Then I'm going to create a how-to thread at our forum and provide instructions and tips on how members can use this.

At the edit Profile link, above the field to enter information we've added:

Use this space to provide information about your gallery portfolio

Our next step will then be to also include a help link here to the how-to thread at the forums, with further instructions.

... still a work in progress

Here is what I did (bear in mind - I am amateur at coding but this seems to work fine)
Carolem

My final profile page looks like this:

See my gallery

My Profile at the _______ Forum

My Statistics

We don't use comments so I removed lines
removed comments: (lines 44-48)

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I moved the forum profile: (lines 122-124)

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and deleted lines 126-132 to take out profile from statistics

my final code looks like this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

We also made a few changes in the language file.

Many thanks mjm and Carole M

how do i make it so that when users click on username to see profile via bulletin, instead of taking them to th vbulletin profile, take them directly to the photopost profile?

thanks !

Chuck S · September 8th, 2007, 04:59 PM

Honestly I would not know without looking at the vbulletin forum code. You might want to inquire at vbulletin.org where to edit to do this modification to your vbulletin forum. I can tell you the profile link to photopost is posted below so where you need to edit in vbulletin you need to plugin the correct vbulletin userid variable but this would be the link you want to use.

http://www.yoursite.com/gallery/member.php?uid=VB USERID VARIABLE HERE

tommyxv · September 8th, 2007, 06:02 PM

What do i change here to make it link to the VB profile instead?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck S · September 8th, 2007, 06:12 PM

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I beleive that would be the correct change there.
