User Control Panel ( User CP ) V3.0

[Snow Wolf]

Did you ever figure out the answer to my question?

Update : Version 1.4 Released  See main page here for more details.

[Matthew Schenker]

I installed this modification (version 1.4) on my test site, and it looks great, except for one thing: the "Contact Admin" button does not work.  I had version 1.3 installed before, and the "Contact Admin" was working, so it seems something went wrong in the update.

Thanks for the great work!

[Alan S]

It works okay for me , And i check with a friend aswell and he said it works?

What browser are you using?

If its IE , Go to tools -> options -> programs and make sure you have a default email client selected ( Usualy Outlook Express )

If its firefox , Firefox uses the XP default email program , So go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Set program access defaults -> Custom  , And under choose my default email program select one ( usualy outlook express )

actually, as a possible addition for the next version, I'd like to see an option that can be set for the "contact":   allow us to set email or PM.   In general, we don't allow/want users contacting us directly in email, so I changed 1.3 to send a PM instead of an email.

In the original version of the UserCp where it had to be manualy added to the forum , The contact admin was by PM , However when i started coding it for a mod , I saw no way of defining the user id ( As in ;u=xxx ) for the admin and i could not automatically assume that the admins user id was 1 , Because sometimes people change it from the first account created etc......... So i switched to email , If i found some way to get the user id of a admin easily i would put in in the next version , Along with the option to email.

(now that you mention it, I actually hard-coded the 4 main admin IDs..)

You could search for the users in the admin usergroup and then build an array of those user IDs...

Thanks , i will look into it! , Although i have to say i am still only a novice in PHP

Its actually my own custom theme.

You are welcoem to join and take a look at the User CP yourself and then you will understand why I want to put a solid background color behinf the text. I'm just looking for the place in the code it insert it myself.

[Alan S]

Yeah , I see what you mean , the links are hard to read , Well i've tried and tested the use of a usercp style sheet and i am pleased to say it can be done. This is what you need to do.


Open notepad and paste this code into it.

Code Select Expand


/* User Cp CSS Stylesheet */

/* Normal, standard links. */
a:link
{
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited
{
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
}

body, td, th , tr
{
color: #000000;
font-size: small;
font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
}


You can edit the values

Code Select Expand

a:link
{
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
}

^^ Edit the #FFFFFF here to control the colour of a link in the UserCP

Code Select Expand


a:visited
{
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: none;
}


^^ Edit the #FF0000 to edit the colour of a visted link in the UserCP

Code Select Expand


body, td, th , tr
{
color: #000000;
font-size: small;
font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
}


^^ Edit the #000000 to change the colour of the rest of the text in the usercp ( IE the summary text )


Then go to file  -> save as , select all files and save it as usercpstyle.css and upload it to /Themes/default/ ( The default themes directory )


Now ,we have to tell the User Cp to include the stylesheet , So download and open up usercp.template.php

Find

Code Select Expand


global $scripturl, $webmaster_email, $txt, $context, $settings, $ID_MEMBER;


Add after

Code Select Expand


// Include The Stylesheet
echo '
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/usercpstyle.css?fin11" />';

// Start the main template that is , if the user is logged in


Save it and reupload it to /Themes/default


If you want to change the background colour altogether , In the usercp.template.php

Find

Code Select Expand

<table border="0"

Replace with

Code Select Expand

<table bgcolor="#000000" border="0"

And replace the #000000 with the background colour of your choice , Save it and reupload it.


This has been tested out with SMF 1.1.4 and User CP 1.4 , Should work with all versions and backup your files just in case.

Hi!

The MOD doesn't work.

First i installed it with the package manager, and it works.

But i can't see the "User CP" Tab in the "features and options".

Who can help me please.

I think the failure is in the ModSettings.php, but where?

[Alan S]

Yeah if you have certain mods installed that edit the modsettings.php it will give you a error. Manualy add the ModSettings.php code.

See the end of the page of the User CP mod to get what code to add and where

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=698

[PfalzNacht]

Now i can see it in the acp, but when i click on the button "user cp", nothing happens.

[Alan S]

Hmmmm , Can you post your ModSettings.php file please?
