Okay this is probably in the wrong board, and most likely will be considered spam... but I wanted to let everyone know that I'll be having a discussion board on my site to discuss the development of my...
Profile Info Modbased off of TippMasters Idea to modify the Profile Template and include extra tablesThis Mod will completely modify the SMF User ProfileOriginally I just wanted to package up TippMasters idea, but I've now decided to completely redesign the boring (no offense) old profile setup.
The Modification will include:
Display Pic/Avatar - default pic chosen from the SMF Gallery Lite pictures that user has uploaded
About Me - small bio about yourself, interests, etc.
User Info - date registered, members invited, activity, post pount, shop credits, position, etc. etc.
Quick Links - link to user stats, tinyportal contributions, link to posts, smf awards, etc.
Contact Box - message me, comment me, add me (smf buddylist), pictures (smf gallery lite user profile)
Comments - comment box and comments displayed on page

Got any suggestions? : http://www.shomazta.com/smf/index.php?topic=365.0
Update : This project is in beta however my sites acting up and I haven't been able to access my database the last two days, so it's on hold. I'll release a test package soon tho =P
hahah, awesome... defintely we have to have something connected to the gallery lite mod that allows each member to upload pics (of themselves etc.. ) and have them display in their profile.. at least 4 or 5 would be great...
oh and also, something perhaps that members can choose from a variety of profile backgrounds colours and wallpapers.. and once chosen are viewable by everyone.. so the only thing that changes is everything in the 'profile' section...
also, music player..? similar to the youtube video in profile mod, something that people can choose their favourite 5 playlist and have them play from some source..
alot of these ideas are derived from websites similar to myspace, bebo, facebook.. etc.. it'll be great to get those features here!
ooo.. i can't wait...
cheers
not so found of the altering background idea...
As you can see in my screenshot users will now be able to have a Contact Box.
I'm thinking I'll allow that to be altered. And that alone as far as changing the look of ones own profile =P
As far as music and movies, those do sound great... how about instead it'll display a list of the users contributed files (action=mediacenter) via the Media Center Mod =P
Reason's being is it'd be alot harder to have specific areas for music and what not....
In the users About Me however they could always add a small flash media player =P one that allows them to put different urls and it'll generate a mini media player.

dude, i've done a survey with my members and they (also who use myspace & bebo) voted the backrgound change and wallpapers in profile to be the most requested!
alot of them like how in myspace etc they get to customise the LOOK of their profile.. (virtually also their space)
it's probably a little difficult to make, but if myspace can do it so can we!
all it is, is just a selection box with a number of varieties of pre-designed backgrounds and colours.. could make use of the css stylesheet or something like that or pattern backgrounds... that once selected view their account, will change the way their profile looks and when others view the profile its got the colours and chosen background...
cheers
we need to get more designers/coders interested in the development of this mod... or at least give me more of a desire to get it done sooner =P i'm lazy...
maybe we can discuss ideas of what can be modified...
also i'm thinking about renaming the mod... know one seems to care much for the name "Profile Info" help me come up with a more intriguing name that will get SMF users to check this out.
profile features mod
ultimate profile mod
myspace profile mod
cool... when will it finish? ill wait for this...

hey tauhan! agad may pag-asa.
I'm usually against myspace-clone type mods but I really like this idea, especially this: "User Info - date registered, members invited, activity, post pount, shop credits, position, etc. etc."

thanks... I know I called it MySpace Profile Mod, however I want it to be more unique then just a clone =P but thanks for the input!
This is exactly what I'm looking for! Can't wait!!!
A suggestion: Please make a way to limit the width of pictures posted in profiles and comments :)
definitely will make note of that idea =)
very good ;)
Is there by chance a way to integrate a blog into this? And maybe a community page, like MySpace has, where it shows update blogs, new users, etc..?
But it looks real nice so far!
Looking at the pic, are you sure it won't force horizontal scrolling for 800x600 resolution users.
The width looks alot larger than the 785 pixels width suitable for 800x600 users (as the scrollbar can be between 10-15px depending on browser (IE/FF = 10, Opera = 15)
Its around 720-30 pixels. You have to remember that his forums' nav is on the left, adding to the width.
also that's just an image I made in PhotoShop... the actual tables might be dynamic... still looking for suggestions =P as far as integrating a blog and having SM's Recent Blog Entries ... I could do that... if there was a blog module =P
How about outputting the users buddy list?

How about outputting the users buddy list?
that sounds like a good idea... what fashion tho? random five buddies?
I'd just go with a list - and links to their respective profiles.
You could go one step further and create another buddy table
Alter the members table to include a new field buddy_associates which is identical to buddy_list... something like this...
alter table `smf_forum`.`smf_members` ,add column `buddy_associates` tinytext NOT NULL COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci after `unreadMessages`
And then whenever a user adds a buddy the table is compared to see if they already exist as an associate.
You could then generate something like this:
(http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/events/foaf-galway/papers/pp/creating_a_social_network/image001.gif)
more info here : http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/events/foaf-galway/papers/pp/creating_a_social_network/
Of course you would have to run a script to generate the content of the associated buddy list the first time you set this up.
this looks very nice.
How will it interact with other mods like the buddylist mod, the blog mod, the custom profile fields, profile comments etc? I have all those installed already so will there be some overlap or conflict or will they all play nice together?
Profile picture would be good if you could restrict the height and width and also the file size in kb
People don't use the profiles enough (probably because they are a little boring) except to change their avatars/banners. :(
I would be very interested in this mod. I have a few custom profile fields so I'd be concerned that it doesn't have any issues with that, otherwise it sounds awesome!
Any progress with this?
Hi! I am very interested in this mod and think that many other admins will be when it gets finished. This type of mod could easily bring more users to your site.
Here is a list of my wishes:
1. At least two additional text fields (e.g.: About me and Interests)
2. User pictures (but limited; e.g.: five images per user, max resolution 800x600)
3. Buddy list (which will also display buddies' avatars, similar to MySpace)
4. Profile comments (with user avatars too, like above)
5. Customization. For example, user will have only one text field in which he will be able to input appropriate CSS customization code. Other users will be able to change whether they want to see customized or plain profiles.
As for the music and videos, I think that there is no need for enabling users to upload their own content to site because there are a lot of sites providing that feature using flash players. Mod should only allow using [flash] BBC for embedding various media available on the net. Also, use of HTML and JavaScript should be forbidden.

this looks very nice :)
Any updates on this mod? Hows the progress coming?
SMDot, are you still working on this Mod? I saw that you have now an IPB forum.
Bloody hell i hate coders LOL, get our hopes up and never even finishes it PFFFFFTTT :D Just kidding, unless you really are ignoring us on purpose.
I think you can download a beta at
http://www.johncarpenterforum.com/snake/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item18
Im looking forward to implementing this to my site as well. My users will eat this up!
very cool

Thanks for the input and as far as music/videos (and or any multimedia types) are concerned we have/had already decided that this could pose a security problem.

We're running IPB on SG but SM is still SMF.

If anyones interested in helping with the development or beta testing this mod please email me (shomazta / gmail). Also we had postponed work on this mod temporarily due to the supposed claims of SMF 1.1.3 offering what this module is capable of offering.
look extremely awesome !!!! is it available for download ?
trenchteam listed the beta link above.
Nice Job! Looks real good. Any idea when the full release will be?
Where i can download this kind of mod for SMF 1.1.3 ?
Please pm me a link it will be in great help
I've just finished my version of this mod but, it looks like someone did this before me :).
Here is an example of my mod: http://www.gradnis.net/forum/profiles/JovanT-u1.html. It is in Serbian language.
Its nice to see this mod really taking off!
So how many people do we have working on this mod?
Any final releases?
Jovan - where can I download it?
Did the myspace mod ever get finished? If so does it work with 1.1.3? And if it does, where can it be downloaded from?
I just downloaded the 0.4 version from the listed link and when I attempted to install, I received two failed errors.
QuoteType Action Description
1. Extract Tree ./ProfilePics
2. Extract Tree ./Sources
3. Extract Tree ./Themes
4. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/style.css Test successful
5. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/ModSettings.english.php Test successful
6. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Profile.english.php Test successful
7. Execute Modification ./Sources/Profile.php Test successful
8. Execute Modification ./Sources/ModSettings.php Test failed
9. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Profile.template.php Test failed
10. Execute Code profilev2_install.php
I am going through with the installation and modifying the two files manually.
Will post if this works on a default SMF 1.1.3 w/ TP .9.8.3
Well something went wrong.
I modified the two files and came up with an fatal error.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_shout_all() (previously declared in /home/adviseor/public_html/testforum/Sources/Load.php(1767) : eval()'d code:2357) in /home/adviseor/public_html/testforum/Sources/Load.php(1767) : eval()'d code on line 2394
I tried turning off the shoutbox block and also removed it from th eTP block list, but still get this error.
Any ideas?
I'm a complete newbie just learning SMF and php, so these questions will just prove how much so.
I downloaded the beta from the link provided and noticed in the read me that something called GD is required. What is GD?
Also, even though it isn't listed, is Tinyportal needed for this mod to work?
Interested on how this project is going. I would love tyo contribute to help code it, only thing I'm lacking is coding knowledge.
This would be ideal for a forum I am working on at the moment!!!
any new updates?
You can try my ultimate profile mod (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=183574.0) that is based on SMdot™'s idea.

has anyone gotten this part so far????
I'm using JovanT's ultimate profile mod (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=183574.0)
Here's a link to it in use on my site.
http://www.adviseoranswers.com/index.php?action=profile;u=3
Our members are beginning to use it now. I have found that myspace codes can be used but it doesn't work exactly as it should. I believe it is because SMF using a little different names for it's tables. (I'm no programmer, just guessing) I have been working on a basic code to use that does call the tables correctly, but with no luck. This mod is about as close as I have seen. I think with a little tweaking on this one and someone writing a program to automate writing custom css codes like the one the myspace customization sites use, this could be the only mod to use. (just my opinion of course)
Does this have an update please for 1.1.5 with tinyportal mod that is will work on ??
So is this mod dead and buried ?
I'm still using JovanT's ultimate profile mod. I have T.P. v1.0 beta3 & SMF 1.1.8
It takes a little coding but our profiles look pretty good.
this is really cool im am just wondering two things when will it be coming out and will it be compatible with SMF 2.0 RC3
