Topic: About me

[CLICKBANKS.NET]

SMF Version: SMF 1.0.7
Is't possible to add "about me" something like biography about members on "Profile" ?

heyya gr8 point brought up!
Something like this should be in SMF... its in all other bb's.
And it should be a default SMF feature.


This should be in feature requests.

Yup, it's very important so member could write about their data on the profile


is there any code for this?

There is this http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=24728.0
But I've never used it. But you could look to see if it would work for you.

Ive not tried it, but http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=319 looks like it might help.

On the default theme Profile.template.php

Look for:

Code: [Select]

// Some more information.
echo '
</td>
</tr><tr>
<td><b>', $txt[96], ': </b></td>
<td><a href="', $context['member']['website']['url'], '" target="_blank">', $context['member']['website']['title'], '</a></td>
</tr>
and after that add this:

Code: [Select]

<tr><td colspan="2"><hr size="1" width="100%" class="hrcolor" /></td>
</tr><tr>
<td><b>About Me: </b></td>
<td>', parse_bbc (@$context['member']['options']['about_me']), '</td>
</tr><tr>
<td colspan="2"><hr size="1" width="100%" class="hrcolor" /></td>

The look for:

Code: [Select]

// Website details.
echo '
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="40%"><b>', $txt[83], ': </b><div class="smalltext">', $txt[598], '</div></td>
<td><input type="text" name="websiteTitle" size="50" value="', $context['member']['website']['title'], '" /></td>
</tr><tr>
<td width="40%"><b>', $txt[84], ': </b><div class="smalltext">', $txt[599], '</div></td>
<td><input type="text" name="websiteUrl" size="50" value="', $context['member']['website']['url'], '" /></td></tr>';
And after that add:

Code: [Select]

echo '<tr>
<td><b>About Me: </b></td>
<td><textarea name="default_options[about_me]" rows="4" cols="80" class="editor">', @$context['member']['options']['about_me'], '</textarea></td>
</tr>';
It's that easy. Please make backups before you change things.
