Profile Editor Intro Text? was created by bascherz
Is there a way to put some text after the profile page editor page title? The desire is for the text to go between the title and the tabs.

Anybody?

Thanks in advance.

Best I can suggest is override the UE_EDIT_TITLE language string and add it as <small> text. Example as follows.

FROM: Edit Your Details
TO: Edit Your Details <small>Description Here</small>

Can probably also just use the below for multi-line output.

TO: Edit Your Details <div class="small">Description Here</div>

For a lot of templates, there's a position just above the automatic position for components. When there is one, that's an option as well. But not every template has one. The template I use does have one, but it spans the whole page width, not just the width of the automatic component position, so it's not ideal.

A good number of components have a special config parameter for this purpose, but many of those don't set it up to use a WYSIWYG editor. For those I've had pretty good luck using a Custom HTML module and the { loadposition module } built-in plugin or I'll use Regular Labs "Articles Anywhere", which works pretty much the same way but using an article instead of a Custom HTML module.

So there are some options and I've got something working, but I wanted to put in the feature request since it seemed reasonable. I'd definitely use it (if it were available) to explain how the profile editor works. We all know how it works, but you'd be surprised how many site users don't get the whole tabbed layout thing, for example.

Edit: I meant to mention that I tried what you suggested early on and the issue with it is that all the additional text and HTML shows up in the breadcrumbs path. Not pretty. Not at all. :)

Cheers,

Best I can suggest is use Custom HTML fields on each tab or if the tabbed usage is too confusing switch it to a flat layout if you don't have too many fields. You can switch it to a flat layout within CB > Configuration > Profile Edit. At this time there's no plans to add a parameter to add a description like that until after we've rewritten our template files and template file usage in CB it self then we can evaluate adding more features like this (and more layouts).
