That's not cool. A coding beginner makes something. Don't rewrite my work!

Then learn to CLOSE tags. Don't offer help if you can't follow basic coding rules


{if $[current_user.is_guest]
<div class="intro clear-float">
<img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4574/37952044344_cc86c372d9_n.jpg" class="float-image" /> <strong class="center-text">News, discussion and much more!</strong><br />
<p class="normal-text">Popedia is a forum based on discussing the media, pop culture, current events and everything in between. When registered, you can access additional features on the forum and become a part of this friendly, fast-growing community!</p>

<span class="center-text">If you're not yet a member, register now - it's quick and free</span>

</div>
{/if}

HTML - paste wherever you require this to be shown

CSS - paste this in your style sheet

.intro {border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 5px;}
   .clear-float {clear: both;}
   .float-image {float: left;
   padding-right: 10px;}
   .normal-text {text-align: justify;}
   .center-text {text-align: center;}
   </style>


Now working on the social media and bio stuff

I asked you to do me a favor and not modify my thing and now you're insulting me? I'm very busy now and I did it fast to help! Okay? I do know the rules but this isn't xml! You don't need everyone to be "perfect" like you are!

.... Except for while yes browsers WILL default close coding tags its not good coding practise, and can cause things to break. Also if you look I didn't modify your thing, I coded my own.

This is unrelated to the introduction text-box, but I was just wondering if it would be possible at all to code/develop my two other ideas (the member biography & social media links)? The information about them is on the first page of this thread.

Maybe I could do the Social Media Links. Does my box work well?  

Yes it does. I haven't had any issues with it at all. Thanks.

Popedia - sorry for the delay. For the member bio:
You need to first of all go to Members, Custom Profile Fields and create a text area called Bio.

You then need to insert the code in layout templates, User Profile, Summary just before this:
<tr>
<td class="headings">Latest Status:</td>
<td>$[user.personal_text]</td>
</tr>

insert this code V

<tr>
                           <td class="headings">Biography</td>
                           <td>{foreach $[user.custom_field]}
                               {if $[user.custom_field.name] == "Bio"}
                               $[user.custom_field.value]
                               {/if}
                               {/foreach}
                           </td>
                       </tr>

Just working on the social buttons now

No worries. I managed to get it to work, except for the fact that it now shows the "Biography" custom profile field twice. Is there a way to remove the bottom Biography section? I have only used one custom profile field. Thanks.

If you find where it says {foreach $[user.custom_field]} a second time in that template and remove that to the closing foreach

Ok. So do I delete the second {foreach $[user.custom_field]} in the template? Or do I move it onto the same line as the closing foreach?

[Boy_Wonder]

Delete the whole bit that was specified up to the closing foreach
