Ultimate Profile

[midnat]

Hi
I am New to All of This and only just installed Ultimate profile on my Forum.
I get the simple, and straight forward parts. But How do I , or members The Ultimate Profile says that you can add media and videos. How do you go about adding videos, or Music. I do not no code, I tried putting an MP3 on from my Computer, but it just showed what I had wrote. The same thing happened when a Member typed in a url for a Youtube video. Nothing seems to Link, or play. We must be Thick. But could anyone please help me out?

Kind Regards
Paul

well, as far as I know, you will never be able to add an MP3 from your computer....  it has to link - I don't actually use that feature, but I assume it may require the BBC-type embed code - since HTML is (quite correctly) pre-parsed to avoid security risks

Yes, I can understand that bit. But a little more advice would be very helpful please.

You (as Admin) need to enable UP in your control panel AND set permissions for membergroups as well.

Hi studiowi33
Thank you for your reply. Up is set in the Ultimate profile settings in Admin Centre. Not sure if thats what you mean? Also Members permissions, not quite sure which ones you mean there. I have the normal Members permissions in place, and who can do what. Maybe you could please help me out a bit more?

Hi.

Does anyone know how to get the youtube videos to embed in the profile, please?

e.g. in SMF, when one enters the box info for 'My Media' and I save and go back to my profile, no video is shown in the profile, just the youtube url 

I'm using SMF 2.0.1
My 'youtube mod' is Embed BBCode v1.3

Thank you.

[TheListener]

The youtube mod embeds into postsonly

This is what I did (first time I tried this myself).

On youtube below the required video click on Share

Show suggested videos when the video finishes TICK
Use HTTPS [?]
Enable privacy-enhanced mode [?]
Use old embed cod TICK

Above the choices copy and paste the shown code and paste into your media box.

Remember to save.

Hi Brack1 thanks for the reply and so quickly.

Does this mean that I can only embed a youtube video in my Ultimate Profile from youtube, that actually belongs to me?

e.g to show a youtube video specifically on Ultimate Profile (on SMF) it has to be on my own youtube account to edit the settings you mentioned, rather than say, a record company's artist with a good song I wanted to put on my profile?

Sorry to sound so dumb, but I am not skilled at computers at all.

Thank you.

[TheListener]

The answer to that is nope.

Any video works like this.

[R6]

Thank you, I was not clear but see now.

It works correctly, fantastic.

Thank you for your help, and to the makers of Ultimate Profile too.

In my Regular Members permissions, I needed to set this permission (see attachment.)

How do I remove certain areas, like the signatures or the name colours list? We got some stuff on there that doesn't need to be there.

Pretty much the same way as told here.  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=298641.msg3187109#msg3187109

Just search for the items under UltimateProfile.template.php , and remove the block of code they're in.  most times they'll begin with an echo' statement, ending with a ; semicolon.

For sigs find and remove this

Code Select Expand

// Show the users signature.
if ($context['signature_enabled'] && !empty($context['member']['signature']))
echo '
<div class="signature">
<h5>', $txt['signature'], ':</h5>
', $context['member']['signature'], '
</div>
<hr size="1" width="100%" class="hrcolor" />';


i have no idea what you mean by name colors list?  unless it's a custom profile field showing in profile pages.

[wynnyelle]

Thanks for the further help we're looking to do a total overhaul of these things actually.

...Yes, that's a custom addition, but I'll look in that file to see if it's displayed there.

[hcfwesker]

There's 3 options for where a custom profile field displays in profiles ( labeled: "Choose Placement:") , when creating/editing them in the admin panel.   Standard(with title), With Icons, or Above Signature.  Which option did you select for the color names list.   I can help steer you in the right path.

There will be 3 different codes in the ultimateprofile.template , usually starting with the following phrase

Code Select Expand

// Are there any custom profile fields .....

[wynnyelle]

I didn't . Nibogo wrote the mod. It was supposed to have its controls in Forum Profile, which it does, but the hex values display out on the profile to the individual users and admins, and it just doesn't need to be there as a list of hex values or colour words on the profile display. It just has to display on linked names, which it does.

i got a load of stuff I need to do. Mainly I am concerned that the ultimate profiles allow members to override the board settings that do not allow any open display of emails by anyone except to admins.

I'm not sure if that's the case, but I'd like the whole Contact Me thing only visible to admins to begin with. Because of all the minors on the site.

I want to put the user's avatar up higher on the top left rather than taking the whole left half of the summary thing and forcing all the text to the right. I want to put the gender symbol up at the top too and remove the word "Gender"--it's pretty obvious what it is without saying the word Mostly this is consolidation stuff.

Do you still go on like, Skype or Yahoo or AIM?

[choloman05]

For me, Youtube videos do not work in "My Media" using the new iframe embed code (which is now the default and supports HTML5 as well as Flash). To parse, you must select the old object embed code (which only supports Flash).

I'm running 2.0.1 with following mods:

SimplePortal 2.3.3
Register Redirect 1.0
Rename Child Board (by S-Ace) 2.0
Tidy Child Boards 1.3
Ultimate Profile 0.9.1

[Kindred]

as well it should not...  allowing iframes is dangerous.

[choloman05]

Isn't allowing Flash just as, if not more, dangerous? 

Not parsing the default YouTube embed code makes using this a little more difficult for average forum members.
