Is there a way to have the NPC profiles show their recent posts and threads like with normal members? This isn't possible as NPCs aren't actual users. Anything added by this plugin is purely cosmetic and isn't indexed any differently by the forum's search feature.

Loving the plugin Brian ! And possibly even over-using it, which leads to a question: Is there a way to have boards and posts inherent the settings for colour but not the background images? I'm also using the Different Background per Board plugin, and while I've made background images which work well on the home page, some of them clash with the board backgrounds. Others make the titles unreadable when the text is placed directly over them (rather than next to them, which works on the home page as the text is centered, but not for the boards). Nothing that's currently coded in the plugin. You can try messing with the text-shadow CSS property to give the text a black outline to offset it a bit from the content, but that's the best you'll probably get without a change to the plugin itself. Some of the background image and text color combinations can't really be helped without outright changing the text color to something that blends into the background image less. If you want to test to see what the thing I described above looks like you can go to Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet in your admin area you can change line 417 from this: To this:

Just became a statistic.
Felt off last week. Test last week negative. Went to doctor yesterday and got the call today- positive. Seems like a mild case so far, but yeah I won't be needing the vaccine for a while. Take care of yourselves, folks.
Agh, that sucks. Here's hoping you kick this thing's butt.

That plugin doesn't work for me or i have to use the CSS you posted Brian or anyone ? Me either. Sucks too, because it sounds like a great plugin to use. Can you specify what issues you're having with the plugin in detail? I haven't updated the plugin in a while, but the fact that it's still getting positive reviews in the plugin library suggests that it should still be working.

Your forum's news feed is enabled, but based on its current settings you haven't specified a board for it to pull thread titles from so it doesn't appear. You can update your news feed settings in your admin area by going to Settings > News Feed.

I just moved and registered to vote. Unfortunately, it wasn't submitted in time and I still don't have my voter registration card. Therefore, I was unable to vote. That being said, I am the same way as someone else in this thread. I don't care if we are voting for the lesser of two evils in any election. I will not vote if none of the candidates align with my morals and values. That is, indeed, a type of voting. Before I was of voting age I always believed I'd abstain from voting on the principle that both parties are substantially flawed. I strongly believe this still holds true, but as time has gone on some candidates in the primaries started upping their game and supporting causes I long believed to be pipe dreams. Those candidates unfortunately didn't emerge as the party's choice, but their participation brought awareness of those causes to the national stage, forcing the hand of any candidate who prevailed in the primary election and inspiring me to participate in the democratic process I had originally forsaken. I've been made painfully aware with each election I've participated in that there's no such thing as a perfect candidate. But the party (and by extension, the government) is more than just the presidential candidate. I feel more and more like our voices are being heard, so rather than lament that my favorite to win didn't make it in I've decided the bare minimum I can do is vote for the candidate I believe won't stand as a roadblock to progress during their tenure even if that progress ends up being incremental. I imagine that sounds synonymous with voting for the lesser of two evils, but my vote seems significantly more powerful in reining in the government than my moral high ground.

I've tried out the Yootil plugin on the site, while it does have the option to move from one location to another (Top, bottom, left, right etc.) it doesn't display anything at all even when placed above the plugins that I'm assuming it would benefit. I'll do some digging into the coding as well and see if I can find a way to get it to work. I really like that feature on the proboards build. Also, Edit: Thank you for looking into it! Yeah, right now my plugin doesn't support it. Any plugin that wants to use the bar would have to explicitly call upon one of Yootil's API functions, so I would need to code that into an update to the NPC Profiles plugin.

Yeah, you can modify the code to serve as a whitelist. Each type of page on the forum has a route name assigned to it that you can reference using JavaScript. If you know how to access the browser console you can type pb.data('route').name into it to get the route name of the page you're currently looking at. For the pages you cited this code should do what you want. Thanks so much! I was SO close to the solution without asking you, but I had the route name wrong - I had it as recent-threads instead of recent_threads. I ended up with an even simpler solution than you suggested above, and it seems to be working perfectly. I just took the Global Header code that you provided in your original post and changed the 3rd line to: I absolutely love this plugin, by the way. Our board just moved over from a different host site to ProBoards, and the most common complaint was that we no longer had a shoutbox on the right side, so this has been a life-saver. Thanks again! Ah, okay. If you only need to cover those two routes then that's a better solution! And thanks!

Is it possible to have the sidebar appear on specific pages but not all pages? I'm currently using the provided code from the original post to show the sidebar on the home page and hide it on every other page. What I'd like to accomplish is to have the sidebar visible if you are on the 'Home' or 'Recent Threads' tab, but hidden on every other page. I'm not a complete beginner, but my coding skills are admittedly very rusty. I've played around with the provided Global Header code a bit to see if I could get this to work, and nothing seems to do the trick. Before I drive myself completely crazy, I figured I'd just ask the experts if what I'm trying to do is even possible. Thanks in advance! Yeah, you can modify the code to serve as a whitelist. Each type of page on the forum has a route name assigned to it that you can reference using JavaScript. If you know how to access the browser console you can type pb.data('route').name into it to get the route name of the page you're currently looking at.

Alice in Zombieland: I had a look at it and it works pretty much exactly how I'd expect it to work. The only thing is the bar where the icon appears will end up showing on the bottom left instead of the bottom right since that's how Yootil works (at least on PB... I dunno if it's the same on Forums.net). It'd be pretty easy to just add the icon, but if you want the micro-profile and its menu to show up there too it'll take a bit more coding on my part since the menu would end up offscreen on the left side of the page. It'd be possible to make another plugin that moves the Yootil bar to the right but it's probably better I get the menu to account for being offscreen on the left anyways since it's already possible to move the buttons that make it appear to begin with.

Hello, I use this on my forums.net site but it doesn't have the bottom right corner nav menu is there a way to enable that or force it to appear? I think the Yootil plugin has a feature like this but I might need to add functionality to this plugin to get it to show there based on what I'm seeing in its documentation. I'll have a look at that when I have some free time.

While the plugin that does this has been linked I would suggest using your theme's layout templates and style sheet to accomplish this rather than the plugin since you specified you wanted it for every profile.
The purpose of the plugin in question is to provide users the ability to select from multiple different mini-profile designs that are different from the theme's default. Anything you do using the theme itself is going to take less time to load and will be easier to implement by virtue of using the actual template system which the plugin doesn't have access to.

Morning Brian I'm not sure what I did wrong and as I am worried about messing up something really important by tinkering with it. It's just the sidebars aren't where I was hoping to have them. Link: fadingrealms.proboards.com/Also I would like to have tabs in the sidebar for staff and other important info, but I wouldn't know where to start. Any help is greatly appreciated! Based on how the plugin is supposed to work the sidebars are appearing in the expected location. You'll need to find a code that produces tabs if you'd like tabs in the sidebar.

Hey Brian , I love this plugin and have used it for the great majority of my themes. I used to use it in combination with Pebble's Easy Rollover Image plugin so that I could have the menu buttons be highlighted in some way when the mouse rolled over them. Unfortunately, when Photobucket went haywire, I had to find a different way to upload my images. I learned that I could upload the menu buttons directly to each theme (thank heavens, hahaha). The problem is that when you do that, PB changes the name of the file, which in effect renders the rollover plugin unusable. I was wondering if there was any way you could add a feature to this plugin to allow me to input the menu button URLs and then maybe beside them have the rollover image URLs so that it would have the same effect as using the rollover image plugin? If that would be too hard or too much work, I totally understand and will just keep trying to get someone else to create a plugin that will allow for rollover images with this plugin. Thank you in advance for considering this, I truly appreciate your plugin, it helps to finish out a theme beautifully. I looked at all of Pebble's library submissions and threads and I can't seem to find the plugin you're referring to. You can do both regular and rollover images without the use of either plugin, though. If both versions of the button are stacked in one image you can use CSS to specify it as the background image of a button and change the background position when hovering over the button, making one go out of bounds and placing the other where the original used to be. CSS selectors allow a lot of new things I didn't know about when I first made this plugin in 2012 that might as well render it obsolete.

Is it possible for each board in my forum to get their own dedicated sidebar? Let's say I have a forum and in the forum, I created Category A. Under Category A, I have boards A1 and A2. Each represents a separate fantasy football league, for example. Is it possible for the admin to create: 1. a sidebar leaderboard for board A1 for the participants of the A1 league, 2. a separate leaderboard for board A2 for the participants of the A2 league, and 3. a separate general sidebar for the main homepage It's possible, but would take a lot of coding to accomplish in the plugin's current state since it doesn't natively support it. For that reason I don't currently have an available solution for what you're looking for.
