I had these ideas originally for Profile Plus, but since MagicX has gone on, I figured advProfile would be best, One of the things I really disliked about it, was the need to rely on his server for the different messenger availabilty icons. That always bugged me. There has to be an easier way to do that.
Another idea I had was to make the profile page similar to Friendster or Myspace, where you could add.. friends, sort of like bookmarks to their profile, with a thumbnail and title to their profile. An interests section would be pretty swank too. All sort of like that Friendfinder PN module.. but better.. and.. done correctly.
Maybe a plugin for dpBitTorrent? Show stats, things like that?
Or a plugin to Ebay, or the ZClassifieds mod...
I'm just full of ideas. I'd really love to see that friends plugin. |

You could always use static local icons (in the pnimages folders) but how then the check is made if a user's messenger is online or not. I'm not expert but if there is another way, I'm all ears. (Not speaking about MS Messenger since the last API removed the possibility to check status so that one is out anyway).

To resume, some sort of multipage profile where one can enter such as personal links, etc, etc. ?

 I never looked at the friendfider but it seems there is some amelioration to do on it.

Simple plugin it would probably be...

http://www.onlinestatus.org/ is what MagicX uses for the online icons, it looks like it is programmed in Java. I'm sure there's an easier way to do it in PHP.
As far as the personal profile, here is a link to Myspace (Friendster is similar), it's to my own profile: http://profiles.myspace.com/users/874323
I installed that FriendFinder module, and it needs loads of work. I'm pretty certain it's not compliant with PN .8, it's poorly organized, and the translations on it aren't too good, but I think it certainly could be used for some ideas. |

I found a php script here that does the IM status indication:

That last one looks nice and will think of it in a 1.2... The only thing though is that I would make that as a plugin probably. Since the status is decided by php code, it doesn't give the possibility to the admin to use any field he wants (considering the fact that he could decide that _HOLAMYICQ is the field for the Icq...
So in the template, that would probably give something like this :
| Code: |
<!--[statuscheckerblabla type="icq" value=$YICQ_VALUE]-->
|
I'll have to study that anyway. |

The first poster mentioned something about having a buddies list or a friends list. Heres a module or block that does that. You can add blocks to your template.

Theres also a few other cool modules. |

I once tried to include a Winamp-link (currently listening to...) into the profile. But I failed because of the fact that I don't know how to handle several users. It works for me only. And I wrote a short manual on how to include Winamp in Postnuke: http://www.post-nuke.net/Article504.htm (German, sorry - learn it, love it  ) |

A plugin for the internal Message-System could be cool - of course for the user only. Show last 10 Message in the inbox - mail user etc. |

That last 10 Inbox messages shouldn't be a big fuss to do...
If I can, I'll try to give you that today. |

jeeezz........ I wonder what Burzi was thinking when he made that one...
I can't do a plugin that will work both for 0.750 and 0.760... Messages older than 0.760 use a different way of getting and building a link to the message... it uses a strange way that makes me wonder what went wacko in the life of the original author when he was building it.
0.760 (new templated mod) uses common sense to get the message : the msg_id. Thank god Mark West... He he !
So either I make one for the upcoming mod, or one that will stop working the minute you upgrade. |
