MySpace/Facebook in profile

Shay King (Xavier) has given me permission to update his Mod. I had to change a few things, so I hope it works correctly. I've had no issues with a fresh install of YaBB 2.2.3, but if other Mods are installed then it may have to be installed manually.

Link to the original version:
http://www.boardmod.org/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=beta_y2;action=display;num=1151390721...

Description:
Adds MySpace/Facebook address info and clickable links to the user profile.

Facebook Folder:

Installation:
Either install MySpace OR Facebook. If you want to install them both, install MyNetworks.
1) Modify YaBB files using BoardMod or manually.
2) Load modified files to your server.

I'm sure it all it would be is the same code with the words myspace substituted with Facebook and a Facebook button but I can't write code.

But, the amount of websites you could do this for is endless, so if anybody wants this for other websites in the future I'll just post the code up that needs changing.

MeisterGigi Hacker Wannabe Offline Posts: 74	Reply #7 - 24.07.08 at 10:13:40 One Thing, becaus me and my users make the same mistake. In the Profile its written that way, as if you should also enter http://..., but in fact, you should only enter your myspace name. This should be changed i think...

Erm, yes, it is rather confusing. From what I read in the original version, the URL is set for security reasons, otherwise you could enter any website address.

Before I change anything, could I just ask what you suggest... Do you think just change the language/information on the left?

Or I was thinking maybe something like this:

But that is going to make the form rather ugly...

What do you think?

That's definitely less confusing. Whoever originally wrote this mod I believe for 2.1 I asked how to do this exact same thing and he told me where to edit the code to add the full URL. I was running into people putting the full URL in and nobody's myspace buttons/links were working since there were 2 addresses. This would definitely save the confusion

Derek Barnstorm Hacker God Offline Posts: 611	Reply #12 - 27.07.08 at 17:22:37 Right, I've added Facebook and updated the first post. Either install MySpace OR Facebook. If you want to install them both, then use the MyNetworks Mod. One thing that might cause a problem is sometimes Facebook uses other applications and can have a sudomain like: Code: http://apps.facebook.com/blahblahblah Any problems, let me know.
