Hi, I need the userpages to be accessable from www.howto.ws/userpage/username.html instead of http://www.howto.ws/userpage.php?userid=1. How can I do this? I have been researching this all afternoon and I now know that I need to set up mod_rewrite rules. I was wondering what you used for the mod_rewrite .htaccess file on your site, Amy.

I use User Pages for 'Premium' members that donate to the website and they are much more likely to 'stay in line' as far as rules go as opposed to the GP (General Public).

I think having the flexibility in the pages is great, but it certainly takes more time on the Admin end of things to make sure they aren't being abused.

Incidently, do you run VMKForums? Many of my site members are members there as well ... (Visionsfantastic.com is my site)

Yeah we have a set of rules implemented, and only premium donating members get a page, so there is little chance of anyone hacking or so forth. But just wanted some extra safe guards, nice site BTW, and yes i run vmkforums :P

I also need to integrate this with vBadvanced. How can I do this? Is there any way to take what the user has entered and display it on another webpage?

there is no way to delete page

can someone help me? i'm new to this whole plug in thing. i got Userpages installed and it's working fine, but in the instructions it just says "put the userpages link in the navbar". i've tried a few places and ij ust end up with a text link on top of the navbar that you can barely see. how do i get it IN the navbar, so it looks the same as the other navbar links? if someone could show me the exact code and where to put it, i'd really appreciate it.

great hack btw, my users are going to love it

arcadian_girl, you need to go into the admin CP, then the Styles section. You have to edit the style templates directly. The links should be in either the 'header' or 'navbar' templates.

i know, i get that part, i'm saying where exactly in the navbar code do i put the link?

[arcadian_girl]

also, is there a way to add a link to someone's user page either in the postbit or in their profile page? ideally, you'd be reading a post, click on the person's username, and in the drop down menu, it would say "go to this persons userpage".

i love this hack, but am having trouble with it. none of my pages are saving. i have checked my permissions and all are fine under the usergroups... furthermore, my shouts do not save either. using vb. 3.5.4 and a downloaded style, just wondering what i should check

thanks in advance

I keep getting "Invalid File Specified" when I try to import the product. I found another xml file in the thread and although it does install it does not seem to be working - I don;t see where in user group to change permissions...

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you trying to import it as a plugin or a product?

I've tried both...

[demios]

I am using this with vb 3.5.4 and the message editor does not appear on the page when people try to edit their page.

Any ideas?

How do I make this a paid feature... Meaning only if user pays, he can create userpages, else he can view userpages

[amykhar]

Create a usergroup that users are promoted to if they purchase a paid subscription. Set the usergroup permissions so that only paid users can have or edit a userpage. My forum is set up this way.
