abetterplace.boards.net/Okay, I've had the idea/want for this for some time, but I felt I needed to work out some of the practical aspects of this before asking for it. The coding is beyond me, but I felt I shouldn't expect the coder to figure out the basic concept and have to do the coding, too.  We've all seen the countless requests for a way to display more than one member group on the mini-profile, only to be told the data doesn't exist there for more than just the one chosen display group. And literally every time anyone comes up with a plugin to add an image to the mini profile, the first question almost always is 'is there a way to get this to display for groups?' The answer, with a little coding, is usually 'yes'. The next question is, almost always, 'is there a way to display more than one group?' The answer is 'no', because the data doesn't exist anywhere on the page. But that data could be created and accessed with a key! Hence the need for this plugin!  How it should work: On the groups tab of the profile page, there would be an image for each group in the section for said group(or replacement text 'no group image available'. If someone is a member of said group and that group has an image, they would have the option to select if they want the group image displayed on the mini-profile. The group image on the mini profile would ideally have hover text identifying the group by name and the image would be a clickable link to that group's listing of members on the site's members page. I think this would be hugely popular, and add an awesome feature to ProBoards, if it is doable.

In the plugin settings you would have to use an autoform with group search field to choose a group, then you would have to have a field box that says what you want the group display name to be, and lastly an image associated with that group in the manage section. (plus height and width options) You want the group display name box to be the alt text for the image. The href would be the hostname+group+user id. You need a super user key. Missing Info: How many groups can they display extra with this plugin? Are they using checkboxes to choose which additional one's they want displayed in the group tab? (also a save button) Are these images being displayed in the main profile as well? At what location in the mini-profile are they displayed? (top, bottom, after name) How will these "images" tile together? (like table columns, rows, squares with a space between them like badges) I don't know if I'm interested but those are some good questions to fully grasp the concept. |

Looks great, it's probably a some-what copy and paste from the last plugin you did with an added feature. I don't know how you write things so fast. A+

(like table columns, rows, squares with a space between them like badges) I don't know if I'm interested but those are some good questions to fully grasp the concept. I'd want a height/width adjustable display option so if I need to make the images display smaller at some point I could just make an adjustment rather than have to resize and re-upload all of them. I'd want the number of group images displayed on the profile to be adjustable in the plugin. Any number I pick might be great for my forum but totally wrong for someone else's. I was thinking checkboxes, but what Peter did was probably more elegant. They could be displayed in the main profile, but as there is already a list there, I don't see that as a must. I'd prefer to position it where I want with a class element as I have with Peter's Monetary shop items and Todge's Award System(thanks for reading my mind/planning ahead Peter). I'd like them going across in horizontal rows like the shop items/badges. Wow! Just...wow! You...are...the man, Peter! While I would like all the features I listed above, the only must would be displaying them more like the shop items or badges instead of a vertical line. This is just awesome! Looks great, it's probably a some-what copy and paste from the last plugin you did with an added feature. I don't know how you write things so fast. A+ I'm imagining a scene: God: I'm thinking of creating some basic laws for my people... Peter: I have two stone tablets with ten commandments carved into them. You can use them for a start. He literally had a finished, working plugin ready faster than I even expected someone to post a response. Peter is awesome!!!  |
