Got the new Fireboard up and running. Works perfectly. Wonderful job guys. I've also noticed profiles load 3 times faster. I know for a fact any change I made didn't make this happen as I noticed it directly after upgrading. VERY impressed with RC3. Keep up the fantastic work.
My core hacks are little copy and pastes, because I couldn't get a tab to achieve the effect.
Here's what I've done. I've created a style that changes the CSS styles of the profile using input from custom fields I've set. If nothing is put in the field. It'll use the default style.
To do this I had to put this style ABOVE all the tab renders in comprofiler.html.php. This can be located by searching for: [code:1]<div id=\"cbProfileInner\">[/code:1]
The code I've made is pasted directly above it:
[code:1]
echo "<style>
.sectiontableheader { background-color:".$user->cb_tablebgheader.";color:".$user->cb_tabletxtheader."; }
.sectiontableentry1 { background-color:".$user->cb_tablebgentryone.";color:".$user->cb_tabletxtentryone."; }
.sectiontableentry2 { background-color:".$user->cb_tablebgentrytwo.";color:".$user->cb_tabletxtentrytwo."; }
.cbProfile { color:".$user->cb_profiletxtcolor.";background-color:".$user->cb_profilebgcolor.";background-image: url(".$user->cb_profilebgimg."«»); background-repeat:".$user->cb_profilebgimgrepeat.";background-position:".$user->cb_profilebgimgpos.";background-attachment:".$user->cb_profilebgimgattach."; }
.dynamic-tab-pane-control .tab-page { background-color:".$user->cb_tabpagebgcolor."; color:".$user->cb_tabpagetxtcolor."; }
.dynamic-tab-pane-control .tab-page a { color:".$user->cb_tabpagelinkcolor."; }
.dynamic-tab-pane-control .tab-row .tab { background-color:".$user->cb_tabbgcolor."; }
.dynamic-tab-pane-control .tab-row .tab.selected { background-color:".$user->cb_tabbgselectcolor."; }
.dynamic-tab-pane-control .tab-row .tab.hover { background-color:".$user->cb_tabbghovercolor."; }
.dynamic-tab-pane-control .tab-row .tab a { color:".$user->cb_tabtxtcolor."; }
.cb-tips-button, .cb-tips-button:link, .cb-tips-button:visited, .cb-tips-hover { color:".$user->cb_tabtxtcolor.";background-color:".$user->cb_tabbgcolor.";border: 2px solid ".$user->cb_tabbordercolor."; }
.cb-tips-button:hover , .cb-tips-hover:hover { color:".$user->cb_tabtxtcolor.";background-color:".$user->cb_tabbghovercolor."; }
.cb-tips-fg { background-color:".$user->cb_mocontentbgcolor."; }
.cb-tips-font { color:".$user->cb_mocontenttxtcolor."; }
.cb-tips-bg { background-color:".$user->cb_motitlebgcolor."; }
.cb-tips-capfont { color:".$user->cb_motitletxtcolor."; }
.contentheading { color:".$user->cb_profileusernamecolor."; }
</style>";

This allows me to overrite the default style without having to add a ton of work to it. What I saw with the current customize plugin was it was very limited AND require the plugin to write a new css file. Just a lot of trouble for something that can be made so simple.
Then I've modified the main tabs display so I can show the tabs based on a users setting. I didn't just want to hide the tabs as then someone to go to view source and see the info anyway. I want to to flat out not render them. So I located: [code:1]if (isset($userViewTabs["cb_tabmain"])) {[/code:1]
Then pasted this directly between the brackets:
[code:1]
global $database, $my;
$isSiteMod=(strtolower($my->usertype) == 'administrator' || strtolower($my->usertype) == 'super administrator' || strtolower($my->usertype) == 'publisher');
$isProfOwner=($my->id==$user->id);
$isRegUser=($my->id>0);
$query="SELECT count(*)"
. "\n FROM #__comprofiler_members"
. "\n WHERE memberid=".$user->id
. "\n AND referenceid=".$my->id
. "\n AND accepted=1 AND pending=0";
$database->setQuery($query);
$isFriend = $database->loadResult();
$NotAllowedFriend="<div align='center'><b>You need to be a friend to view this users tabs.</b></div><div class=\"cbClr\"></div>";
$NotAllowedUser="<div align='center'><b>You need to be a member to view this users tabs.</b></div><div class=\"cbClr\"></div>";
$Allowed="\n\t\t<div class=\"cbPosTabMain\">".$userViewTabs["cb_tabmain"]."</div><div class=\"cbClr\"></div>";
if ($user->cb_tabprivacy=='Friends') {
if (!$isFriend && !$isProfOwner && !$isSiteMod) {
echo $NotAllowedFriend;
}
else {
echo $Allowed;
}
}
elseif ($user->cb_tabprivacy=='All') {
echo $Allowed;
}
elseif ($user->cb_tabprivacy=='Users') {
if (!$isRegUser) {
echo $NotAllowedUser;
}
else {
echo $Allowed;
}
[/code:1]
I've got a few other hacks as well for adding a users "mood" they've selected via settings directly next to their username display on the profile. With a mood selected it'll say: (Username) is (mood). Without a mood it simply displays the username. I could not achieve this with a plugin. So I hacked it in.
All of these really weren't doable, because the location that you can place plugins is limited. So I COULD do the style change IF it allowed me to place a tab above the profile render.
It's not really a big deal for me. As I understand ya guys can't simply design around a few features that most probably won't use.
I'm just designing a massive social networking site. Maybe I'll be the first with a site on the scale of myspace to use joomla and CB, lol.
All I know is I've made every aspect of the profile completely customizable and added every feature plus more that other social networks offer. I've got the CB and Joomla teams to thank for that.
