Gmail Field

[Gary]

Link to Mod

This mod will add a Gmail Icon on the Posts screen as well as the option to enter it in your profile. It will also double up as an email field.

Tested with 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.1 Beta 3, 1.1 Beta 3 Public.

Here are some previews:




Thanks goes to [Unknown] for his tutorial.

I've only tested it on the default theme. So it currently does not work with the others. You're more than welcome to post for advice on how to get it working on the others.


Version 1.1

I have re-writen a small part of the mod to allow the user NOT to have to enter "@gmail.com" as part of their Gmail Username, as that is now entered automtically. The mod is in "gmail11.zip"

Thanks. It took a bit of time to get it working, but I got there. I've purposly left it off on pages so I can work on new versions.

And the previews come with a free shameless plug of my website.

Nice mod. I do very much like gmail.

The mod works with 1.0.5 on the default theme only.

Like I've said, It only works on the default theme. To make it work in other themes is quite simple.

[Mike Frith]

great mod Gary... nice work

[Gary]

I will try to add this to pages such as the who's online page, and a couple of others where MSN etc is called for.

Remember to Uninstall 1.0 if you're gonna use 1.1.

Don't you believe gary that is better than the option Gmail, this between Msn and Yim? If the 3 are mail because this totally an opinion is not been separated.

Greetings and very good mod happiness

[Gary]

Soooo... you're saying that I should place it between the MSN icons and the YIM icons?

[d3v]

Just a simple question. Is there something drastically different between Gmail and other mail providers ( besides the space offered) that triggered you to code such a mod that pays special attention to this mail provider. Thank you, this is not mean to offend in any way.

[Gary]

No. There really isnt much difference, I just thought that since Gmail is growing in popularity, I thought that it'd be worth having something like this for it.

Yes men

[Gary]

Currently, I'm in Greece, I tried to do something like that and it turned out futile, I'll have another go in a couple of weeks.

Are you using a custom theme?

-Dan The Man

[perplexed]

um yes

do I need to put it in the custom theme or does it not work with custom themes at all?

[dtm.exe]

um yes

It will work with cutom themes depending on if he custom themes contain Display.template.php and Profile.template.php.  Not to mention that the image will need to be manually added to the images folder of that sutom theme.
