Enhanced Member Profiles

I have created new member profile pages with a few extra options.

When you edit your profile, you will now see a section labeled Custom CSS. Here you can specify custom CSS (If you don't know what it is, then you probably shouldn't use it )

Additionally, you can select pre defined CSS templates, to change the look of your profile (Colors). Feel free to mess around with it, you can't really damage anything. For those wanting to know more about the custom CSS, I will address that later on how to do it. I'll also try and work on some additional CSS templates that are more pleasing to the eye... the ones currently there were made in a hurry.

There is also a section for you to enter your Favorite youtube video into your member profile. You will want to enter the video ID ONLY, not the embed code, and not the link url. See example:

http://www.youtube.com/v/cx24D3ytI48.

cx24D3ytI48 is the video id.

I will be working more on the new member profile section, so if you would like to see something there, feel free to post your request in this thread, and I'll see what I can do.

Check out my member profile: http://www.monksdiner.com/entertainm...ers/felix.html as an example.

Other features:

Add people as friends to your profile! View a members profile, and click the Add Member to Your Buddy List. They will get a red notification in the navigation bar reading (You have a friend request!) in which that person can accept or decline the request. Those accepted will show up on the profile of the requestor.

Comment on your friends profiles. Now you can add a comment to a friends profile. Just click the "Post new profile comment" link, and you will be forwarded to a editor to write and post your comment.

Make your profile Private. Under your usercp, you may now make your profile private so that orher registered members and non registered members can not view them.

Rate a member's profile. You can rate a members profile using the Rating link in thier profile. Click it, select your rating, and you are done.

Profile view counts. In your profile, you can track how many times your profile has been viewed.

If you experience any bugs, or need help, please feel free to ask. Enjoy the new addition!

Feedback is always appreciated!

I believe half of England already has Tyler.


This is incredibly cool Felix. You have outdone yourself again my jolly good chap.

This is true.

Boy I would feel a dumbass if I'd just made a thread up about this in mod forums asking what the hell it's all about it. Wouldn't you Daniel?

Dak, go to your usercp, edit profile. Scroll almost all the way down and look for this:

Youtube Video

Insert video code for your fave youtube video...Not the link url code but the video ID in the embed code (example): http://www.youtube.com/v/cx24D3ytI48.
cx24D3ytI48 is the video id. Enter this number here.


Follow those instructions. Just go to Youtube, fine your clip, and enter the code at the end of the URL. An easy way to do it is just copy and paste the whole URL of the video, then delete the "http://www.youtube.com/v/" part.

And thanks for the.... Thanks ;)

Any other info you would like to see there? I'm going to try and figure out how to put music into it as well...
