I'm wondering if it would be possible to change the email inputs for yahoo and msn to Facebook URLs/twitter handles? I've had a look around the templates, but I can't seem to figure out which areas to edit. :/ Any ideas?

Thank you ^_^

memcp_profile template

look for

<tr class="tablerow">
<td bgcolor="$altbg1" width="22%">$lang[textyahoo]</td>
<td bgcolor="$altbg2"><input type="text" name="newyahoo" size="25" value="$member[yahoo]" /></td>
</tr>
<tr class="tablerow">
<td bgcolor="$altbg1" width="22%">$lang[textmsn]</td>
<td bgcolor="$altbg2"><input type="text" name="newmsn" size="25" value="$member[msn]"/></td>
</tr>


and either hard code change for example $lang[textyahoo] to Facebook
or add $lang[textfacebook] to the lang file then change template $lang[textyahoo] to $lang[textfacebook]


Beck up template and any files before changing.

Thank you, I've changed the lang files and updates the [textyahoo] to [textfacebook] - but it doesn't seem to be appearing in the member profile, or at the bottom of a users post. Are there any more templates which I need to edit?

viewthread_post_yahoo template - you will need to create an image for facebook and change it accordingly in the template along with changes from yahoo to facebook. change http://profiles.yahoo.com/$post[yahoo] to https://facebook.com/$post[yahoo] and lang['textyahoo'] and yahoo.gif...

<a href="http://profiles.yahoo.com/$post[yahoo]" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;" title="{$lang['textyahoo']}"><img src="$imgdir/yahoo.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>


member_profile template - needs changes for seeing the new facebook/twitter data in the member profile

Hmm, I've changed the 'yahoo' to 'facebook' in the templates you've mentioned, but it hasn't made a difference it seems, I've also uploaded a facebook.gif to the image directory.

I've attatched .txt files of the templates mentioned including my edits in them incase it helps.

Thank you

Remember you are not changing the database reference to yahoo, only the description, so this line for example in member_profile should retain what was originally there:

<td bgcolor="$altbg2"><a href="http://facebook.com/{$memberinfo['yahoorecode']}" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;">{$memberinfo['yahoo']}</a></td>

Ah I see, so I should keep the $memberinfo['yahoorecode'] and $memberinfo['yahoo'] areas the same?

I've attached updated .txt files also.

You're very welcome - I knew you would be able to do it with the clues!

One more hint - the viewthread.php, look for the yahoo and msn stuff and change the onmouse over to reflect the new social media as the current ones show the old onmouse overs.

nice work!

I posted something like a long time ago. It will add all kinds of input fields. You can add/remove as required.

Because a series are added here at once, you'll see what you have t do to add more.
