Title: Ultimate Profile
Post by: rknize on Fri, 12 July 2013, 10:59:18
You may have noticed some changes to your user profile page.  I've integrated some nice enhancements that you can configure via "Ultimate Profile" in your profile settings.  Once enabled, you can share a description of yourself, your keyboards, your projects, pictures, etc.  You can also add buddies and other users can leave comments on your profile.

Enjoy!

Could you possibly link to or explain how to get there? I've spent much time in the settings, but I can't seem to find that option...

What's planned for the 'position' bit? Everyone is 'senior' at the moment.

Do you just modify profile and edit buddies?

Oh, that is what is used to limit classifieds posting.  I removed it from the old profile and I'll probably do the same here.

Not sure about the buddies thing.  I'll take a look.

Keep reporting bugs and I'll sort them out soon.  The package is a little long-in-the-tooth, but is the best I could find for SMF.  I fixed all of the obvious problems, but I guess I didn't try everything.

rknize, is there a way that the notifications for comments can be separate from PMs?
Title: Re: Ultimate Profile
Post by: rknize on Fri, 12 July 2013, 11:37:45
OK, so to add a buddy you are supposed to go to that person's profile and click "Add to Buddy List" under "Contact Me".

Is there any way to add Overclock.net-style rig-builder-like function to be able to be more descriptive about our keyboard projects?  For example, I'd like to write a blurb for each of my keyboards with photos--like a "build log", and it'd be best to have a dedicated section rather than link a thread from elsewhere.
Title: Re: Ultimate Profile
Post by: CPTBadAss on Fri, 12 July 2013, 13:47:35
There's an entire section called "Interests". Couldn't you just put it there? Or under "Media" where it even supports HTML/CSS?
Title: Re: Ultimate Profile
Post by: Photoelectric on Fri, 12 July 2013, 13:50:20
I saw that, but the edit window is small (thought could be increased), so it looked like it's for something concise.  If it's okay to put longer stuff there, that's cool then!
Title: Re: Ultimate Profile
Post by: rknize on Fri, 12 July 2013, 14:07:26
The size limit is 65,535 characters, so you should be good.  I tested really long posts there and they worked fine.  The only issue was that the section displays in its entirety without scroll bars.  That is something I could add if they get too unwieldy.

OK, I've reimplemented the "Add Buddies" feature to the buddies list and fixed some UI issues in there.  The way old buddies were stored is wildly different that the new ones, so unfortunately anyone using that feature will need to re-add those people.  Sorry about that.

It should support BBcode, though I haven't tried it.

To put an image in there with HTML, you would:
Code: [Select]
<img src="http://somehere.net/myimage.jpg">
Title: Re: Ultimate Profile
Post by: CPTBadAss on Fri, 12 July 2013, 23:00:08
bbcode was the first thing I tried. It just displays the code. For example, if I wanted to link an image, it will say
Code: [Select]
[img]http://yourimg.jpg[/img] instead of a picture.

Pictures are a little unintuitive.  You need to go to Show Pictures and then click Add Picture.  For the media section...I know what you mean.  I think the goal was to be able to display things not supported by BBcode, but it may also pose a possible security risk.  I may convert it to a BBcode field instead.
