Link to Mod

This mod will add a MySpace Icon on the Posts screen once entered it in your profile.  Your MySpace profile name will also be displayed in your profile. Mod to allow the user NOT to have to enter "http://www.myspace.com/" as part of their MySpace Username, as that is entered automtically.

Tested on 1.1RC2

Example:


Thanks goes to [Unknown] for his tutorial & AwwLilMaggie (Gmail mod), and my board members for the idea!

Very useful mod.  I installed it on my forum.  Maybe for next version add the button to Memberlist.template.php :)

I actually already had an unpublished version of this mod make a while back, but that's OK :).

My installation failed when I tried to install on three different forums I have:

1. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Profile.template.php Test successful
2. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Display.template.php Test failed
3. Extract Tree ./Themes/default/images

These are the mods I currently have:

1. SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update 1.0   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
2. SMF Arcade 1.3.0-MOD              [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
3. TinyPortal 0.86                         [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 

What code should I be looking at for Display.template.php for my SMF 1.1 RC2-1 forums?

Thanks,

SMF 1.1 RC2 here and the mod didn't seem to have any actual functionality.

Sure, after installation, there was a text field in which to enter something for MySpace so I typed in just my folder (leaving out "http://www.myspace.com/ [nofollow]" ) but when viewing my profile, it didn't actually become a URL even though the instructions suggested it would.

Also, there was no hint associated with the MySpace field. For the users' sakes, where it says:

MySpace: [_____________________]

It should probably read:

MySpace:  http://www.myspace.com/[____________________] [nofollow]

With the hint "This is your MySpace nickname." below MySpace: just as it does for AIM, ICQ, etc.

As others have suggested, a column should be added to the member list for something like this. Lastly, since ICQ, AIM, MSN, YIM are all about meeting or chatting with people, MySpace should probably be grouped in that "social interaction" category rather than with the user's own personal website (especially since MySpace isn't a part of one's own private website).

I'll keep an eye out here for a more complete version. It's a good idea, just needs some more work before it's of any utility.

I couldn't wait for the fix so I just installed this mod for the MySpace field in the user's profile - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=79004.0

Heh, I just finished installing that mod and posting a comment there when a notification arrived in my e-mail that someone had replied to this thread. ;)

Thanks for the tip just the same, it's appreciated. :)

I have added several fields for members at my forum (including MySpace) using a technique similar to Skype and Ventrilo.  It shows up pretty much everywhere the MSN, ICQ, etc, icons are.  Still cool to see someone make a mod for it though.

I have completely changed the myspace mod, while nothings wrong with the old one...I just wanted to get the info into the database so I could appove more in the future. So in version 2.? I added myspace to the memberlist with sort option and added myspace to your buddy list. The user will still ONLY need to enter their myspace name in the space provided in their profile, and not the full url!

I added 2 sql files, one installs the column, and the other removes the column via the package manager.

I'm not completely done, I would like to get some feedback if your brave :P. File attached. As always I tested on a fresh mod free default forum...so if you have many mods installed you may have issues and you may need to install manually.

FOR 1.1RC2 only!

make sure to un-install the old version first and always make backups :-X

Worked fine for me, after I realized I had used the older version first (can you get them to delete that from the download page? *LOL*) and after I moved the graphic into my custom template folder.

Can you make one to make a field for YouTube users too?? I tried to modify this one to work to make another field for YouTube, but I didn't do it right and can't get it to work. Pretty please???? *LOL*

Thanks!

I get the same error as above...
The modification(s) XML-file also has some errors, there are lines commented, but some sentences misses the required space after <!-- ;)
When I fixed that, I was hoping that the install would work... But it didn't... :(
Help would be appreciated!

the modification file is fine, the commented out stuff is also fine, will be part of the memberlist. however your error has to do with the load file. I suspect you have another mod installed that is conflicting with my mod. What other mods are you running?

- Member Color Link

- Skype mod

Those are the mods I can currently think of
