New profile page after upgrade...

[sbb]

I am running vbulletin 3.01 and photopost 4.8d

Before we upgraded to the 4.8d we could:

• Private Message a member from their gallery
• and the layout now is so spread across the page!
• is there any way to get it back to how it was before?

We frequently need to message members from their galleyr depending on if they post their layouts / images in response to a challenge and now have to go back to the forum to look them up - using lots of time we really don't have to spare... we really need this to be like it was before - any suggestions?

Take note you will be taking away new features of Photopost by removing the new gallery management profile

LINE 1571 OF PP-INC.PHP CHANGE THIS

$menu .= " | <a href=\"{$Globals['maindir']}/member.php?uid={$User['userid']}\">{$Globals['pp_lang']['profile']}</a>";

TO THIS:

$menu .= " | <a href=\"{$Globals['vbulletin']}/member.php?u={$User['userid']}\">{$Globals['pp_lang']['profile']}</a>

[sbb]

is there a way to combine the 2? old and new love the new features but desperately need to pm the user from the profile

[sbb]

That didn't do it

http://www.scrapbookbytes.com/galler...r.php?uid=4668

still the same way as before.

There is no way to combine the two without doing your own custom hack. The code that Chuck gave you above will take you to that users profile page within vBulletin so you can PM them.

[sbb]

Hmmm, I'll have to check into it them b/c I changed it and the profile page has not changed and still looks exactly the same.

[Chuck S]

You did not do something right as if you change the lines the way I told you. You will be directed to the user's vb profile page

http://www.scrapbookbytes.com/chat/member.php?u=4668

Note the difference. The url you posted shows you did not edit things right. If you change it to what I posted above the profile link would be what I have posted above.

Same here, Carole tried it and it didn't work.

Hi there!
Omegatron:
do you mean when we change line 1571 as you instructed to:

TO THIS:

$menu .= " | <a href=\"{$Globals['vbulletin']}/member.php?u={$User['userid']}\">{$Globals['pp_lang']['profile']}</a>


That we enter the url to our vb forum where it says:
['vbulletin']

??

[Chuck S]

Nope you change the line to exactly what I posted

you do not modify anything other than what I posted.

[sbb]

ok - will try again tonight

[mjm]

sbb did you have any luck with this?
Carole followed Omegatrons exact instructions and still no go.
Mark
and now we've upgraded to 4.8d to e... still no go

[sbb]

i'm trying this again tonight b/c we really need to use the PM feature of VBulletin over what the new PP features are... Will post my results here...

[mjm]

Let us know if it works. I'll ask Carole to look at it again tonight.
She gave up on it last time.

sbb:
Were you successful in getting the vb profile to work?
We have all the most recent upgrades running, and followed the directions here - but when we click on the member's profile - the end of the address bar says:
member.php?uid=

It does not connect to or recognize the userid# in vb.

The post right above yours is the correct link and works on my vb3 test install
