Ultimate Profile

[gbsothere]

I did see one thing in the wrong place, hcfwesker, and changed it.  Upload the one attached below to your smf Sources directory and then click on your Admin tab, then on the left, under Configurations, click on Features and Options and see if you see an Ultimate Profile tab over to one side (where you see Basic Features, Layout and Options, etc.).

Awesome, that worked... thanks so much!

Still nothing.  I did forget to mention, that I can see where the option is suppose to go under the modify profile page.  You can't see the link for the option, but the space for the option is there.

But, yeah, still no option in the admincp. 

I'm wondering if I should delete my forum, re-install SMF, and just start everything over?

What language is your forum set to?  Also, are you using a custom theme?

[hcfwesker]

I would assume English, and yes, I have a custom theme i added, but modified some touches, but only in the css template.  The theme was Absado ; that i added.

I'm going to send you a PM, after a bit, bud.

If you go to Admin, Server Settings and look at Default Forum Language, that's where you'll find that setting for language.

Using a custom theme, your Profile.template.php for that theme will have to be manually edited with Ultimate Profile's parsing instructions and, if your theme has a language file (Modifications.english.php) that will have to be edited, as well.  If it does not have these files, it should roll back to Default's, but if it does, you'll have to edit.

Change your forum over to the Default theme and see if Ultimate Profile shows up, then?

[hcfwesker]

Default language is English-Utf8

I'll see about editing the file's from the parsing instructions from the MOD.

I switched to default, and still nothing. 

I'll report back after I edit the corresponding files.

Either change your forum language to just English, or copy the contents of your Modifications.english.php (from your server) and save it as Modifications.english-utf8.php and upload it to your theme's language folder (and also to Default's language folder, in case you switch back to it at some later time). 

Try that, in addition to parsing your theme's Profile.template.php.

*leaving note for hcfwesker*

I just logged into your forum with the log in details you gave me and changed your language setting to plain English, just to see how this affected things.  With the setting changed, Ultimate Profile appears in Features and Options and is enabled.  (You will still need to go to Permissions and to each membergroup (i.e., Regular Members, etc.) and under Member Profiles, check "Edit Ultimate Profile" in order for your members to use it.

You can either set your language back to English-Utf8 and follow the suggestion in my previous post or leave it at that setting, but your theme's Profile.template.php will still need to be parsed (if your theme has that file).  This is probably the problem with some of your other mods not working.

Bro.  I'm fixing to start crying

I made those edits like you said, and finally, BOTH custom profile fields and the ultimate profile options appeared on my site. 

I am in debt to you, bud.  And, my offer still stand

Thanx so much, bro!  I'll be keeping in contact

EDIT:::

Awwww, it was you   I thought I did something right,  LMAO 

A million thanx, bud

Note that I did change your language setting in your Admin panel, so you may want to change it back. 

The thing is, hcfwesker, that if you want to use English-Utf8, then you'll need to have that file Modifications.english-utf8.php in your theme's language folder and if you're going to use a custom theme, always manually add the mod's edits to any template file that the mod calls for that your theme also uses.  If your theme doesn't have it, then it will roll back to Default, so that will be okay, but always edit for your theme, if you have those template files that the mod calls for.

All of your other mods will probably work, if you do this.   

Good luck with your new SMF forum!

No, if you did what I suggested below, you'd be safe to change the language back to Utf8, so good job.

Dude, me and my co-admin are on cloud 9 right now after your help. 

But, i seen the "custom profile" in the adminCP, then when I just went back it disappeared.  I know this is not the place for support on that.  But it was there, then i cam here to reply, and went back, and it was gone.

Let me log back in and take a look at it.

EDIT:  I see it, but your forum language is also still at English (not utf8).  We may be "passing each other" making changes, but, for now, I can see it just fine.  Force a refresh and check again.

[hcfwesker]

I didn't mess with anything once everything showed up.  It's like it vanished out of nowhere

Maybe I'll make the changes to both the english.php & english-utf8 files if that'll help?

What's a Force Refresh, or mean just refresing the page?  Cause it's still not showing for me.

It's that site you PMd me, right?  (I know you have several).

[hcfwesker]

Man, I'm not used to this fast response time, lol.  Usually on proboards you wait about 2days for a reply

Yes.  The site i PM'd you with the log in details.

Well, tell you what....   I'm logged into your site right now, the "brawl" site, so let's just move this over to PMs there (on your site) and I'll walk you through it.   That way, we won't be chasing each other all over the Internet.

Heinander : -Edit- oops, it's still messed up.
