Link to Mod

A mod that adds a LiveJournal icon beneath your avatar, and links to your journal. It also adds a LiveJournal field in the profile. This is my first mod.

what does it do?

It adds a custom field to members' profiles which in turn adds the LiveJournal logo to their posts.

I love the idea of this mod but I want to know if it is in the Package Manager.  I went through the entire list of mods in the Package Manager but couldn't find it there.  Also, I want to verify that it is compatible with SMF 1.0.5 and SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public.  Plus, does it only work with the default SMF theme or will it work with others?

Gamer, you're staff on my forum so you know the modified YaBBSE theme.  Will it work there?

Just upload it through the package manager.  It's compatible with both SMF 1.0.5 and SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public.

How to make mods work with themes?

Yeah. And I looked and it *should* work with your other themes, the way I see it.

Hey Dan, I checked but I didn't see it in the package manager.  Are you sure it in there?

No no.  I meant DOWNLOAD the mod and UPLOAD it through the package manager.

This is a popular mod on my board but users are asking if there is one they can use with MySpace. How hard do you think it would it be to re-write this for MySpace? I've tried but I keep getting errors. Any chance you'd be able to/interested in helping?

I can do it for you.  I'll have the mod up later today.

Oh, and that'd make it available via Package Manager for everyone to use for installation?

I mean by uploading the mod via the Package Manager, that everyone will be able to install it via the Package Manager.

I'm really confused by what you're saying...

I'll talk to you on AIM and hopefully unconfuse you and then you can post here for everyone else to know if it is possible or not.  Otherwise, they'll get confused with all these posts.

Raven.

If you upload the mod file via the package manager upload function, you can then install it on YOUR system. Once it is installed on your system, it will be functional for all users on your system...  unless you are using an alternate theme that has a modified display.template.php or profile.template.php, in which case you will have to manually install the mod into yuor theme.

So what you're saying Kindred is that by uploading the mod via the Package Manager that the mod will not be available for everyone else to install via the Package Manager?

NO!


The package manager on your system is on your system.
It has nothing to do with anyone else and has nothing to do with the USERS on your system.

By you (as an admin) loading the file through the package manager, you will then have the option to INSTALL the mod.

Once you INSTALL the mod, the functions that the mod added will be activated and will be in use on your default theme.
(which in this case means that all of your USERS will not have the option to add their livejournal entries)

Once more:  The package manager has nothing to do with the FUNCTION of this mod. The Package manager is the method that you use to copy this mod from your local hard disk to your server, and then to install the mod into your SMF system.

Okay then other than helping me I don't really see what use this has.  I'm wanting the mod to be installable via the Package Manager for EVERYONE!  But, I do appreciate your clarification.
