Topic:	AdvProfile plugin request
MACscr Plumber Posts: 147 Posted: Oct 30, 2005	Wondering if you would be so nice as to make a plugin that would list a users links. The links would be the same ones that a user would usually see in the "Your Account" module. These would need to be dynamically generated as sometimes new moduels add links to that area. Of course permissioning would be set so that it would only be seen when viewing your own profile. Hmm, maybe this would make a better block that could just be shown anywhere. Just an idea.
Chestnut Site Admin Posts: 1320 Posted: Oct 31, 2005	mmm... Guess it would be possible but not sure. There is a specific function that is building the links... and in the 0.8, all mods having a pnaccountapi are creating these links. ... Chestnut ! Site Admin
MACscr Plumber Posts: 147 Posted: Oct 31, 2005	BTW, just noticed that these links are showing even if the module is not activated. Definately a poor setup. Cant wait to see how you have overhauled the user system for .8
Chestnut Site Admin Posts: 1320 Posted: Nov 01, 2005	Current only checks the modules\Your_Account\user\links folder... 0.8 is already looking at this differently. Chestnut ! Site Admin
MACscr Plumber Posts: 147 Posted: Nov 01, 2005	yeah, in noticing this. Im playing with last nights tarball right now. Didnt know that .8 was workign this well so far. Of course there are all kinds of little bugs, but the only big one so far that i have witnessed is the ability to login after signup or even after install (if the admin logs out after the install). Not sure if the sha-256 key is being written incorrectly or if the bug is somewhere else. Anyway, glad to see your on top of things with the new user system. =P BTW, is dynamic data still being treated the same? If so, do you think this is an efficiant way to store the information? Doesnt it make it harder for third party modules/blocks to get the information, especially when it comes to searching? Sorry i got so far off topic, just some things that have I have noticed/are bothering me.
MACscr Plumber Posts: 147 Posted: Nov 01, 2005	BTW, why couldnt i just use the plugin and template for .8 with .76? I already got the pnRender News module to work with .76 =P

Doesnt it make it harder for third party modules/blocks to get the information, especially when it comes to searching? For the moment, yes it is the same but that could change. There is and should be no problem to get the information whatever way we choose but the search is still an issue right now. It is major but there is much to do (while still having that particular part in mind to not screw up) before getting further with the search thing.

MACscr Plumber Posts: 147 Posted: Nov 01, 2005	Chestnut MACscrBTW, why couldnt i just use the plugin and template for .8 with .76 Wich plugin and template ? To show links in the users account area for different modules that have user config areas. Such as pnForum, Edit Information, pnTresmailer, etc. Stuff like that. I just need to figure out which module does this, is it Profile or Users in .8? Sorry, harder to figure it out when i cant log back into PN .8 after initial install and logging out.
Chestnut Site Admin Posts: 1320 Posted: Nov 02, 2005	As I've said, 0.8 is not doing it the same way for this part. Each mod must have an account api to be shown in the Profile. In any case, it could change tomorrow or the next week so whatever it is done today is not a big helper... Especially for such things as ... pnTresMailer ?..... Chestnut ! Site Admin
MACscr Plumber Posts: 147 Posted: Nov 02, 2005	I definately dont use pnTresmailer. I was just trying to think of modules that added a link/icon to the "Your Account" area.
