Im thinking about to use to..

My idea..Blog is okay..and the ebay button i wanna convert it to "Chat" and that chat button will be default link forewarded to our chat network [button linked to java chat ]

[visiblesoul]

The "chat" link is a good idea. The instructions in the zip file show how to use it for any button you like.

Welcome DeGrijze. I'm guessing there is a max characters setting somewhere.

Have you noticed the same issue with the default "www" (member website) button?

I'll try to have a look at it tonight or tomorrow and let you know what I find.

First off all thanks for welcomming me on this forum.
And yes when i set de url string voor my blog in the www-button box its come out with the same result als in de addon blog butting box.
Its just cuts of a bit off the url sting
So iam guesing your right that there is a max of characters settings somewhere, iam hoping that this can be fixst.

Thanks for your help .

Geard

OK DeGrijze, I found the problem. If you have php myadmin or know how to use ssh the solution is simple.

Look in the forum database for the "ibf_members" table. Look for the field for which you want to change the length. For example "website". There is a default "Length/Values" set at "70" characters. Change this to 100 or whatever length you need. Do the same thing for any other profile fields that you want to change.

Let me know if you have any problems or if you don't understand my instructions.

Dear sire,
Thanks for the info its is working perfectley now.

Keep up the good work

Update:

Thanks to the keen eye and the much appreciated email of XaviorX at Ize (thanks Xavior) I have fixed a typo in the /sources/Profile.php edit so that the text "No Information" is displayed in User profile when no custom button info has been entered. It's a minor thing but quality is in the details.

Download has been updated.

For the eBay button the change is

FIND:

$info['ebay'] = $ibforums->lang['no_info'];

REPLACE WITH:

$info['ebaypage'] = $ibforums->lang['no_info'];

For the Blog button the change is

FIND:

$info['blog'] = $ibforums->lang['no_info'];

REPLACE WITH:

$info['blogpage'] = $ibforums->lang['no_info'];

That's it.

[DeGrijze]

[visiblesoul]

So are you DeGrijze and Joop?

The corrected instructions for /forums/sources/Profile.php are...


FIND:

		if ( $member['website'] and preg_match( "/^http://S+$/", $member['website'] ) )

		{

	  $info['homepage'] = "<a href='{$member['website']}' target='_blank'>{$member['website']}</a>";

  }

  else

  {

	  $info['homepage'] = $ibforums->lang['no_info'];

  }

ADD BELOW:

		if ( $member['blog'] and preg_match( "/^http://S+$/", $member['blog'] ) )

		{

	  $info['blogpage'] = "<a href='{$member['blog']}' target='_blank'>{$member['blog']}</a>";

  }

  else

  {

	  $info['blogpage'] = $ibforums->lang['no_info'];

  }

No. One added section of code is all that is needed. I duplicated the "website" button for the mod, not the instant messenger buttons. If you search Profile.php for "website" you will see what I mean.

[Joop]

Oke Thank.
I?m verry happy with this hack cq addon.
It works like a charm no problems wath so ever with it.
Thanks

Joop
