Will this code MOD work on YABBSE??

[new2php]

On my SP1 board I had inserted some code modifications that made extra input fields in the members' profile page. For example: I created a "location" field that the member could fill out and it also printed that location info beneath their username when they posted to the forum. The tutorial for how to do it using SP1 is below.

My main question is, should I even bother trying to mess with this code on SE or do you think it will work?

Thank you all in advance.

location is already in the profile, and it is very easy to make it show up in posts.

Don't know why you'd need to add a location field, it's already there

 iamdamnsam, do you have an easy tutorial on how to add it to the post area? So lets say I want to have other fields in the profile? Could I use the code mods I listed previously? Will these work on SE? Thanks again.

SP1 mods will not work with SE.  Since they are written in two different languages there is no way that could work.  Adding fields to a profile is not currently supported but I believe it is in the works.

This is what I did

Find this in Display.php

Code Select Expand

print "            $star<br><BR>\n$online            ".$userprofile[$mname]['gender'];
and add this line after

Code Select Expand

print $userprofile[$mname]['location'];
I also took this line

Code Select Expand

print "\n            $postinfo\n           ".$userprofile[$mname]['avatar'].$ptext;
and added a br tag in it like this

Code Select Expand

print "\n      <br>      $postinfo\n           ".$userprofile[$mname]['avatar'].$ptext;
Let me know if it works or if it doesn't.  I think that is all I had to do, but I don't remember since I did this right when I got SE 1.3.

Thanks iamdamnsam

First off iamdamnsam, I would like to tell you that you have been a great help in getting my board how I want it, thanks. I just checked your site and noticed you have a vehicle description in your profile. Would you mind telling me how this is done? I would like to add at least one additional profile field for my members. Thanks.

I have such a thing for Mobile Phones.

I used the BioMod and changed that manually.

Also used input instead of textarea.

Just try it

Webby is right, the bio mod will work, just change Bio in your English.lng file to whatever you want.
