Seems, that the film quotes and birthdays, have started re-appearing themselves. I assume this was something you did at your end Admin, so many thanks for that. _________________ Childminders, Long Eaton, Sawley and Sandiacre - Nottingham

In the xprofile part on the forum login page i put-

[Favorite game]
title=favorite game
maxlength=50
access=all
visible=all

[favorite game character]
title=favorite game character
access=all
visible=all

-Then in the "profile_view_body.tpl" template i put {XPROFILE} in between the two catagories that i wanted. now both of them appear, but like i said, it just doesnt save the changes.

I'm getting the same problem, just that I'm not using spaces and it's still not saving and in the status of the owners panel it says failed to add Xprofile.

this is what I've put in
[FAVBAND]
title=favorite band
access=all
visible=all

editing your profile I've put {XPROFILE} above the website part and viewing I've put it above location.

You don't put {XPROFLE} into the places where you view profiles, only where you alter them. Where you view them you have to place individual entries as per the instructions.

I have created an {XPROFILE} based upon the number of forum competition won by a member. Similar to the rank images I would like to have member wins visible in the profile page & on topic pages. The number of wins would be represented by an image eg. 1 crown for 1 win, 2 crowns for 2 wins etc..... I have made the {XPROFILE} accessible from admin only, but visible to all, so that only I can edit it. The only problem I have is that the field does not accept an image url, when I input an image it just shows the text. I realise that I can just input the number of wins as a digit, but it would be much better as an image. Is their something I can change to have it accept the image path _________________ By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail: - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) http://www.my-local-poker.com

I want to be able to input different images for different members, from my admin area.
As an example using the favourite band idea.
Instead of inputting 'my fav band' I would input an 'image of my fav band'

I see that we can have an image in our Sig file. So I guess it would be a similar field property to this.
Or maybe this can be achieved with a second avatar?

Currently the image does not change at all with the value, but we could make that happen in the same way it happens with the url. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org
