Mini-Profile Help, Please

[Former Member]

My board: coffeedrinkingmama.proboards.com/

On the mini-profile I don't like all the huge gaps so I was wondering how I can bring everything closer together. TIA!

Was anyone able to check this out?

shannt10 , I did take a quick look at your forum and do see all the extra space. Before advising it would be helpful to know the direction you wish to go with mini-profiles.

For instance, will the mini-profile be showing custom titles, ranks, stars, and member groups? These are all items that will 'fill' a mini-profile.

Additionally, the space coded for the avatar is 150 x 150 px. The image you are using is considerably smaller, thus giving the illusion of extra space (see image below).

Ah okay.
All I want to show in the profile is the avatar, username, member group, custom titles, post count and the member online/offline.

shannt10, I see there are only 3 members on the forum. By chance is any of the other 2 one of your accounts? If not I would suggest making an alternate account. Add that account to a member group, give it a custom title and add a regular avatar that fills the 150x150 space. Then take a look at that mini-profile and see how much of the space is used up and if there is any left over extra space.

We can then take it from there.

Scott, Okay the moderator account is mine. I have the avatar, custom title and group done. Not sure why it says moderator a few times though.

[Scott]

shannt10, it says moderator a few times because you created the account with the username moderator, gave it a display name of moderator, gave it a custom title of moderator, and put it in a group called moderator. The display name, custom title, and group name will all display in the mini-profile. However, no biggie right now. For the purposes of determining space it works. You can always change the custom title and display name if you wish.

So looking at that mini-profile now, what areas would you like to reduce the space?

[Former Member]

Scott, I want the posts and member online moved up and I don't want the member group/ranks to show if that's possible.

Just the avatar first, then username, custom title, post counts and then member online.

I'm sorry if I'm any trouble. I wish I knew how to code this stuff.

Today you learn a little:

1. Go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates
2. Click on the Mini-Profile template
3. On line 6 you will see this:
{if $[user.group]}
4. Type this in front if it:
<!--     Line 6 should now look like this:
<!-- {if $[user.group]}
5. On line 13 you will see this:
{/if}
6. After that type this:
-->    Line 13 should now look like this:
{/if} -->    Note there is also a {/if} on line 12. Only make the addition on line 13

7. Ok, then on line 16 you should see this:
<br />    Remove it.

8. Click the Save Changes button, and you should be good to go.


Let me know how this goes for you.
