Brian,

Ahh, thank you. I shall see if I am able to change that without damaging the layout.

I changed it for a split second and it ended up rounding off the mini-profile corners and changing their width, but I can easily help you correct that if you have any trouble correcting it yourself.

Brian,

I am fine with it being rounded, but how can I make everything else fit within it if you don't mine my asking?

Go to Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS.

Scroll down to the Mini-Profiles section and change the Border Width to 0px and the Border Radius to 0px.

Then click on the Style Sheet tab at the top. Paste this at the very bottom and save.

.mini-profile { width: auto; overflow: visible; }

Finally, go to Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile and change this line:

<div class="mini_profile"><div class="profilemini2">

To this:

<div class="mini-profile"><div class="profilemini2">

Brian,

Thank you very much! I do have one other question since you have already been since helpful. Is there any way I can take the "PoL: ##" part off that is at the top between the Group name and "User is Online" when you hover over it?

That's being added by the Monetary System plugin. You'll have to change its settings to get rid of that in the mini-profile.

Brian,
Okay, thank you for all of your help.

One more thing:

I noticed that you posted saying the mini-profiles looked weird for NPCs. You can change their HTML at any time from the NPC List tab to better match your forum's design.

Try replacing Xander's mini-profile HTML with this and it should look a lot better.

SPOILER: Click to show

<div class="profilemini2">
    <div class="mini-name">$[user]</div>
    <div class="mini-group-color">$[user.group]</div>
    <div align="center" height="352" width="222" class="my_avatar">
        <div class="avatar-wrapper avatar_size_default">
            <img src="$[user.avatar.src]">
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Brian,

Ah, thank you very much! That looks much better.

Hey there! I'm having an issue with getting threads posted by NPCs to actually show the NPC account has posted it within the thread. Looking at the board interface, it appears that the NPC account has indeed posted, but once you click the thread in question, the mini profile and name reflect the staff member who posted.

EDIT: Also, I've edited in those codes from the second post on this thread.

Can you link to the forum in question? I'm unable to offer any suggestions without seeing the particular issue myself.

I might be missing something or being dense but is there any chance of a signature field for NPCs?

I didn't feel it was necessary to add one to the plugin as that falls under the category of forum things rather than personification.

Pretty much its something I only need for 3 npc accounts I admit just to include some taster text on them hence the questioning xD

Okie dokie, here's the thread list, showing that my NPC Wolf has posted (I used the admin account Rennat to actually post it) and once you click the thread, you'll see it's obvious Rennat has posted it and not the NPC account.

It looks like the mini-profile template for that theme uses the class mini_profile instead of mini-profile. That's why it's not changing. The plugin specifically looks for mini-profile as the class to change to an NPC.
