Hi! Great addon. For my forum we're trying to change the sizes of the avatar for the mini profile without breaking the layout in the process? We've tried to customize the theme's CSS in order to make the default size larger but that managed to break the code in the process. 

Any help or pointers would be appreciated? Thanks!

Are you trying to change just the avatars added by the plugin or are you trying to change them on regular posts as well?

Both would be handled by the same CSS, though if you're trying to change all of them that's more of a question for the Templates board than this thread.

I'm sorry to bump this up! This is a really amazing plugin! There's one thing that doesn't want to seem to cooperate haha

At first, it wasn't matching the width of the other mini profiles. Then I experimented and added width: 100%; to the CSS. This fixed it mostly, but as you can see for some reason it's indented over to the right and doesn't match up. I did try all the template modifications

Also, for some reason when viewing on my mobile device (but on normal desktop view!), nothing shows up. It just has the normal Admin profile and no sword icon. Is it just me?

Many thanks in advance

EDIT I opened Inspector, I feel like I have narrowed it down but don't know where to go from there, I feel like it is something to do with my theme, so if it's too complicated or hard to figure out don't worry about it

Ratty Poe:

Since the mini-profile class already has padding it's pushing the elements you added away from the top left of the container. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that the styles in your mini-profile are declared inline via style attributes in Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile instead of in the style sheet which makes it more difficult to make the NPC mini-profile match the existing mini-profiles. (Unrelated: You're currently missing a closing </div> tag at the end of that layout template)

For example, the white background color can be assigned to the existing .mini-profile class that exists in the first <div> on both your default mini-profiles and the NPC mini-profiles, as can the text-align and font properties in the <div> element that follows it.

You can create a new class for the <div> that surrounds the $[user] variable and assign the styles that exist there to that new class.

Once all of that's done there should be no need for the .NPCProfile class you added.

Wow thank you! That did it!

Hello,

I tried adding extra fields for the npc profile, but they don't appear. I added them through 'build plugin' on the 'npc list'. They appear in the list when I manage it, but not on the profiles on the forum. Am I skipping a step?

Edit: Managed it. Now how do I get those some ields in the expansion?

You would do the exact same thing in the expansion plugin.

Brian, I just wanted to say, finally got around to doing the latest version, and WOW! Fantastic looking.

I had to do the template edits for names/avatars, and even that was easy to do.

Thanks a lot for such an important plugin for the RP community!
