Title: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 18, 2008, 07:45:54 pm
Yes, there's been another new profile feature added, thanks to a code I found on the SMF Support Forums. Obviously it's not my code, but before I couldn't get much to work, but now I can(Might've had to do with I wanted to use HTML before XD)

The new feature? You can make a Userpage. Basically a web-page that isn't a site and is made out of BBC and Text, but is still a web-page none-the-less.

Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 18, 2008, 08:08:00 pm

There is a slight problem, I do not know what to do with it.

*Pauses* Me neither...


XD Go wild, just remember the rules ;) As long as it follows the rules, it SHOULD be allowed...

Can we type random stuff in there?


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 18, 2008, 08:31:23 pm
You can write anything you can in the forums, this is whatever you want to put, but remember that everyone that looks in your profile can click view UserPage and see it ;)

Lol, look at my GH ripoff.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 19, 2008, 06:32:04 am
How did you get the background working?!?

EDIT: Never mind I got it working. ;D
You have to delete the IMAGE URL and replace it with an image or a URL.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: The Host on June 19, 2008, 07:37:10 am
This feature is great... but how do I get a song on it???


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 19, 2008, 07:38:52 am
That I do not know, but please check my page out.
ITS FREAKIN AWESOME!


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Rakoua on June 19, 2008, 07:38:59 am
Methinks you have to upload it on a hosting site and copy the url.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 19, 2008, 07:40:15 am
Probably, go test it out and see.
Also, please go see my page.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Rakoua on June 19, 2008, 07:41:27 am
I don't know any music hosting site I can join.
I did.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 19, 2008, 07:42:29 am
Isn't it awesome?
Its not complete yet though, I wanna add music to it.

THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE USERPAGES. ANYONE OF US COULD GO ON SOME ELSE'S PAGE AND DELETE ALL THEIR COMMENTS!
*Please merge this with my post below, but it was too important for me not to double post.*

Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Rakoua on June 19, 2008, 08:13:04 am
I have a problem, a large block off text just turned into a .) like thing......


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 19, 2008, 08:14:25 am
What are you babbling about?


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Rakoua on June 19, 2008, 08:19:10 am
Ummm... I told that some off my text was deleted and turned into a bracket and a dot?


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 19, 2008, 08:21:20 am
Oh, well before it sounded like random babbling.
And I need a Moderator to merge my double post for me.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Rakoua on June 19, 2008, 08:23:07 am
Just edit and delete...


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 19, 2008, 08:26:39 am
But it is easier to merge them.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 19, 2008, 08:44:01 am
Ok, instructions:

Basically edit it and add in anything you could use for posts.

Music: There should be instructions for it on the edit page part... Just replace what it shows with a URL for your music and the band name.

Image: Eliminate the Image URL thing, putting the URL for the image in it's place, but the Star Force 3 thing I was using would work for me :P

But where do I get the URL for my music? Do I have to put it on a free hosting site or something?


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 19, 2008, 08:54:37 am
yeah, dunno where one of those are though :-\

Try here. (http://www.audiostreet.net/)


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: The Host on June 19, 2008, 10:54:58 am
Okay, so I couldn't get music on it, but my page is officially insanely cool(or pretty close to it) ;D


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: The Host on June 20, 2008, 07:25:39 am
I think in addition with this, a new set of rules must be made specifically for web pages.

Quote
[background=http://ships.firenebula.com/starwars_demi/images/galactic_empire.jpg]
[music=http://db101files.batturd.com/music/ep5/01TheImperialMarch.mp3][/music]

I think when you want to insert music, the file extension has to be .mp3 or some other audio affiliated file extension (.avi, .mp4, etc). The music URLs you guys are trying to use, what kind of file extension do they have?
There's my problem R8, I don't know where to find a site to get a music URL from  :'(
Edit: oh, and I tried putting a WMA file from my computer onto the site, but it doesnèt work...


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: The Host on June 20, 2008, 11:30:18 am
... okay, thanks... is there a way that you can change that at all???


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 21, 2008, 07:34:07 am
Nope, pretty much on ANY site you can't post things directly from your computer, you have to upload it somewhere first and then post it...

Or, you can just try and find the song you want on some website and then copy/paste the song's URL into your profile.
I already did try that and it works, but for Mozilla Firefox users there is a missing plugin that makes it ineffective.
For Internet Explorer users, it just plainly doesn't work.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 21, 2008, 09:28:13 am
FF users: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/  <-- That's kept up to date with plug-ins and such.

IE users: Eh, I dislike IE anyway, and wouldn't know what they supply... Me myself, I recommend you switch to Firefox :P


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 21, 2008, 09:30:35 am
Where do we go when we click on that hyperlink?

I use both. :P


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 21, 2008, 04:49:21 pm
I have both, but use FF only.
So where do I go after I click that hyperlink in order to get the missing plugin.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Hansolo996 on June 21, 2008, 08:21:02 pm
My page is boring. . . :P


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 22, 2008, 08:01:09 am
You know, I don't know. Shocking, but I don't always go there... Check in the dev center under Plugins or something... I'll look around.

Click Add-Ons and go search through that page.

How do you raise your MLNO rep?


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 22, 2008, 09:48:41 pm
By obeying the rules and helping out.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: MÆLXTRØM on June 22, 2008, 11:11:36 pm
It seems for me that the background only works when I view it in the vista skin; if I change it to a matrix, it just shows up as white...  Is it possible to make it work for the other skins?

I will try to keep mine up-to-date with graphics I've been doing lately, enjoy...

EDIT: Oh and BTW the "MLNO green" skin is uh... shudder-inducing. :P


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: hyprgig on June 23, 2008, 07:41:56 am
By obeying the rules and helping out.
Then my MLNO rep should be going up because I've been helping out the latest member, soo13.
You can even ask him if you want.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: MÆLXTRØM on June 23, 2008, 09:12:40 am
I think rep is not necessarily added because one asks for it to be. ;)


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 23, 2008, 11:24:49 am
Exactly. Actually, if you ask for it to be upped, it won't. And if you help just to get rep, you probably won't get it either ;)

Yeah, uh, sorry about that. My first attempt at a skin.

I don't know what to do to the backgrounds, but it's possible that since I have to have the background:none be important so the Vista background doesn't overflow, it may be blocking it...


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: MÆLXTRØM on June 24, 2008, 12:33:24 am
Heh you made it... *takes foot out of mouth*  Just needs more colors that complement each other. :P


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 24, 2008, 01:27:16 pm
I just tried to make it like what MLN would look like :P Maybe when you return we could work together to find a good colour scheme.

Doesn't mean I'm finished with skins though *Mischievous grin*

Now... Back ont opic guys, I have to fulfill my position as a Forum Janitor too :P


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: KnightsFan on June 24, 2008, 03:55:41 pm
Why does the background stay still when I scroll down? That's really wierd looking :P.

|< |=


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: MÆLXTRØM on June 24, 2008, 11:40:07 pm
Because we have very long pages.  I think it looks pretty good.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: KnightsFan on June 26, 2008, 02:24:52 pm
It does, if your page is long. Is there a way to center a small picture instead of have it tiled?

|< |=


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 27, 2008, 07:49:31 am
Yeah, I think there should be a center feature...


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: MÆLXTRØM on June 28, 2008, 10:25:42 pm
Yeah I'd like to have mine centered as well.  I tried putting center tags around the background tags but it didn't work.


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Rakoua on June 29, 2008, 04:04:47 am
Improvize.
Why don't you make a pic with the wanted pic in the middle and the rest in some colour?


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 29, 2008, 08:22:47 am
Weird, I'll have to test about later?

Because I have a 22 inch widescreen monitor and what is centered to me is not for people who don't.

But now the background doesn't work because the userpage melded into the profile page. <_<


Title: Re: New Profile Feature
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on June 29, 2008, 04:38:19 pm
I know >< I'd like to know who exactly cleared all the headers and footers.

Needless to say, this has put back the release date for the first reward...

To update you guys, I've added back in one code, the stylesheet switcher... And as you guys can see, it's up top too. Of course, this is from backup, so there'll be SOME mistakes... Like Helios Red still being there even though it doesn't work.
