Hi, if possible could someone help with this small project I am doing, please?

What I would like to do is add Xfire information to my forums in the same manner that the MSNM, AIM, YIM and ICQ are; ie a data entry space in Your Account/Your Info, and also in Profile, and the small icons below each users post, that when clicked will give the relevant info, or start the messenger program (as the AIM and YIM etc do) and so on.

I have so far edited the index.php file in Your Account so that the data entry box is there (although it says "_YXFIRE (optional)" instead of "Your Xfire (optional)"). Also when I enter the data it doesn't remain when I try to save it. I am assuming I need to edit other files for it to work, as it is not showing in the Profile page either.

Would it be possible for someone to let me know which other files (and their locations) I need to edit. Hopefully I can figure out how to, I just need to know where they are at this time.

I am using phpNuke 7.5 and have fairly basic knowledge of php.

Many thanks,

-Peter.

Hey Marty! That's great, thanks for the fast reply.

I will try those and let you know how I get on. In the meantime, if anybody else knows of other files or has any suggestions please feel free to add your inputs.

Thanks again,

-Pete.

The above would cover Your_Account Profile settings, however if you wanted to have the same Xfire entry in Forums Profile, edit the same .tpl files in

modules/Forums/templates/subsilver/

Think thats it :?

Hello again,

I have edited all those files you mentioned; I am getting a few problems; it still won't save the xfire details in Your Account/Your Info page; also in the Forum/Profile page, there is now a space for me to enter my xfire name, but instead of the title 'XFire' next to the data entry box, all I can see is a colon mark. Also when I enter me xfire name then save it, I get the following errors:

---------

Could not update users table

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1054 Unknown column 'user_xfire' in 'field list'

UPDATE nuke_users SET user_email = 'xxxxxxx@ntlworld.com', user_icq = '', user_website = 'http://www.DiscPete.com', user_occ = 'Network Support', user_from = 'Wales, UK.', user_interests = 'Stuff.', user_sig = '', user_sig_bbcode_uid = '401b6d8a5b', user_viewemail = '0', user_aim = 'xxxxxxx@aol.com', user_yim = '', user_xfire = 'discpete',user_msnm = 'xxxxxxx@hotmail.com', user_attachsig = '1', user_allowsmile = '1', user_allowhtml = '1', user_allowbbcode = '1', user_allow_viewonline = '1', user_notify = '0', user_notify_pm = '1', user_popup_pm = '1', user_timezone = '0', user_dateformat = 'D M d, Y g:i a', user_lang = 'english', user_style = '1', user_active = '1', user_actkey = '' WHERE user_id = '2'

Line : 499
File : /home/fhlinux197/d/discpete.com/user/htdocs/includes/usercp_register.php

--------

I have checked the file around line 499 but can't really see a problem, although to be honest I'm not sure what to look for;

Another problem I have got occurs when I click on a post in a forum and I get this error message:

----------

Could not obtain post/user information.

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1054 Unknown column 'u.user_xfire' in 'field list'

SELECT u.username, u.user_id, u.user_posts, u.user_from, u.user_website, u.user_email, u.user_icq, u.user_aim, u.user_yim, u.user_regdate, u.user_xfire, u.user_msnm, u.user_viewemail, u.user_rank, u.user_sig, u.user_sig_bbcode_uid, u.user_avatar, u.user_avatar_type, u.user_allowavatar, u.user_allowsmile, p.*, pt.post_text, pt.post_subject, pt.bbcode_uid FROM nuke_bbposts p, nuke_users u, nuke_bbposts_text pt WHERE p.topic_id = '27' AND pt.post_id = p.post_id AND u.user_id = p.poster_id ORDER BY p.post_time ASC LIMIT 0, 20

Line : 413
File : /home/fhlinux197/d/discpete.com/user/htdocs/modules/Forums/viewtopic.php

----------

Again, I have checked the file but cannot see any errors.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

-Peter.

Run this Sql code

Code:

ALTER TABLE nuke_users ADD user_xfire VARCHAR(25) DEFAULT 'xFire id : 'NOT NULL;

Maybe someone can check that over First

Hi Marty!

I really appreciate the help you have given me. The sql code worked - the error messages have gone, my username stays in the data entry box as it should, and the icon I created links to the profile so that users can see my username. Good stuff.

Although everything seems to work ok, I am still not seeing a title next to the data entry area for xfire in Profile (or in 'Viewing Profile for...'), ie where the others say AIM Address or MSN Messenger etc, left of where the data is input. Is there another file I have missed to edit? The reaon I ask is that I have gone through all the files you listed to edit, and none of them have AIM Address in the text, which I used as an alternative to search. Hopefully I'm explaining myself so that you can understand me.

Thanks again,

-Peter.

Jesus it did 8O I didnt doubt it one bit anyway ok lets have a look

modules/Forums/language/lang_english/lang_main.php
