It says error 1: "mp-info-folder" element not found in this theme's Mini-Profile layout template.
Help!

Did you follow the installation instructions that show at the top of your forum when first installing the plugin? It sounds like you missed the first step.

Did it, but there's still error.

You appear to be missing a closing {/if} and a closing </div> in your mini-profile template.

Add this on line 29 of Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile.

{/if}
</div>

Hey, Brian !

I have been doing some coding in the plugin because I'm afraid that my custom title may become too long for the custom title field in the profiles (so I'm getting ready to code it into the plugin,) but I'm coming into a snag: I want to make it so my Status says "Hover over 'Mouse over me to reveal my custom title!' in my MP to reveal my full custom title!" but, for some reason, the status isn't showing in my mini-profile.

I put a test status of "This is a test of the status update. I repeat, this is a test of the status update." and went back to the plugin page I was working with on my forum to see the changes I make behind the scenes in the plugin itself, but the status didn't show up.

The last post here is the post I'm using as a "test" post, and that's how I'm seeing that the status isn't showing up in the MP, even though I do have the correct variable there (I haven't touched it since I wrote it into my original MP.)

This is the line of code for my status: <div class="status">$[user.personal_text]</div>.

Thanks so much for your help.

According to line 78 of your CSS for that mini-profile you're hiding every instance of .status on the entire page with its display: none; property. This is why it doesn't show, and since it's not targeting just the mini-profile it will ultimately hide any other elements on the page with status as their class on any page the mini-profile loads on.

[Alan Vende]

Thanks, Brian. I forgot I coded it that way... I thought I made it where if there wasn't one, it didn't show... not that it didn't show at all. It's kind of redundant the HTML code in there then putting in the CSS to hide it regardless.

Hey, Brian .

I have a question for you: I have tried this with each variation of the code that I can think of:

1. .mini-profile.admin-mp .v1 { height: # }
2. .mini-profile. .v1 { height: # }
3. .mini-profile.admin-mp.mp-variant .v1 { height: # }
4. .mini-profile.admin-mp.mp-variant .v1, .mini-profile.admin-mp.mp-variant .v2, .mini-profile.admin-mp.mp-variant .v3, .mini-profile.admin-mp.mp-variant .v4, .mini-profile.admin-mp.mp-variant .v5, .mini-profile.admin-mp.mp-variant .v6, .mini-profile.admin-mp.mp-variant .v7, .mini-profile.admin-mp.mp-variant .v8 { height: # }
5. .mini-profile.admin-mp .v1, .mini-profile.admin-mp .v2, .mini-profile.admin-mp .v3, .mini-profile.admin-mp .v4, .mini-profile.admin-mp .v5, .mini-profile.admin-mp .v6, .mini-profile.admin-mp .v7, .mini-profile.admin-mp .v8 { height: # }

...but none of these are rendering the desired effect that I would like: the mini-profile variants to be the same height when the default variant is a different height. I have made some changes to the default variant which made every other variant longer, so I wanted to make it so the other variants stay the same height no matter how long I make the default variant.

I thought that I would have to do either numbers one through three and target each individual one separately, but then I thought that number four would work as I want to target more than one with the same height. I looked in CSS of yours where you wanted to target more than one variable and have the same height for both, so you put one, a comma, and then the other before the opening brace. That's what I thought would happen here, but I guess that that's not the case.

Is there another thing that I have to put into the code that I'm not thinking of? I've tried the different variations above multiple times, deleting the others and starting over (which is what I was doing before I posted here for your help and what I will continue to do, but nothing is changing, which is why I wanted to ask for your help, as I'm not really seeing what's wrong here, as I have all of the classes that I need to target (so I thought.)

Thanks for your help!

This is a design question rather than a technical question. Please post this in the Templates board instead.

[Alan Vende]

Sorry, thought of that after I posted it.

Hi Brian! Can Ulises or you please provide me the code to your mini profiles? I found this cool plugin and I want to have a cool mini profile hover stuff and background like you and Ulises do.

[Ulises]

If Brian is cool with it (since it's much of his code) I can give you the bare bones (the hovering and the background parts). He's not here until Sunday though.

[Former Member]

Okay tysm!

[Brian]

Our mini-profiles are using a slightly modified version of Example 3 which comes with the plugin. For the most part everything you need should already be included.

Okay thank you!
