Thread: Featured members link

I think you all get the variations on this theme so.......last post on this....


This adds a featured members link to the member menu and the visitors menu.

Can you see what I am doing here???...rotflol....sorry 20 hours of ae....


insert a new row into your GIParams (see featured_page_row.doc)


take a copy of your index.php
rename it to feature.php


add: below the current
Featured members block
( or use attached )





/**
* Featured members block block
*/
function PageCompFeatured($featured_vertical)
{
global $site;
global $ID_PIC_DIR;
global $ID_PIC_URL;
global $tmpl;

$feature_page = getParam('featured_page');

// get random featured profiles
if (!$featured_vertical || $tmpl == 'ae9')
{
$add_height = 10;
}
else
{
$add_height = 0;
}

$thumb_width = getParam("thumb_width");
$thumb_height = getParam ("thumb_height") + $add_height;

if ($feature_page)
{
$featured_res = db_res( "SELECT `Profiles`.`ID`, `Pic_0_addon`, `NickName`, `Headline` FROM `Profiles` WHERE `Status` = 'Active' AND `Featured` = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $feature_page" );

$out = "";
while ( $featured_arr = mysql_fetch_array ( $featured_res ) )
{
$src = "{$ID_PIC_DIR}{$featured_arr['ID']}_0_{$featured_arr['Pic_0_addon']}.jpg";
if ( file_exists($src) )
$src = "{$ID_PIC_URL}{$featured_arr['ID']}_0_{$featured_arr['Pic_0_addon']}.jpg";
else
$src = "{$site['images']}pic_not_avail.gif";

if ( $featured_vertical )
$out .="<tr>\n";
$out .= "<td align=\"center\" height=\"" . $thumb_height . "\" width=\"" . $thumb_width . "\" class=\"featured\" valign=\"middle\">";
$out .= "<div STYLE=\"width: ".$thumb_width."; overflow : hidden;\">";
$image_alt = process_line_output($featured_arr['NickName']) .': '. process_line_output( $featured_arr['DescriptionMe'] );
$out .= "<a href=\"{$site['url']}profile.php?ID={$featured_arr['ID']}\"><img $thumb_pic_size alt=\"$image_alt\" title=\"$image_alt\" border=0 src=\"$src\"></a>";
$out .= "</div></td>";
if ( $featured_vertical )
$out .="</tr>\n";
}
return $out;
}
}




to your new featured.php

change the page call to 600

find:

$_page_cont[$_ni]['featured_members'] = PageCompFeatured($featured_vertical);


below it add:

$_page_cont[$_ni]['featured_mempage'] = PageCompFeatured($featured_vertical2);

$_page_cont[$_ni]['featured_mempage1'] = PageCompFeatured($featured_vertical3);

$_page_cont[$_ni]['featured_mempage2'] = PageCompFeatured($featured_vertical4);


Then:

In your members.inc.php make the appropriate changes for the new links.



Take your tmpl_ae3_page.html and rename it to tmpl_ae3_page_600.html


add: (see tmpl_ae3_page_600.doc rename to .html to edit)




<tr><td colspan=2 bgcolor=FFFFFF><table align="center">__featured_members__</table>


<tr><td colspan=2 bgcolor=FFFFFF><table align="center">__featured_mempage__</table>

<tr><td colspan=2 bgcolor=FFFFFF><table align="center">__featured_mempage1__</table>

<tr><td colspan=2 bgcolor=FFFFFF><table align="center">__featured_mempage2__</table>

All this may be over kill but it's Friday and I am using the shotgun method.....lol......

I have not coded for redundancies so....................

Enjoy.

Thanks for posting this mod.

I had to tweak it a bit as I use the ACT template which means the Featured Members run vertically on the index page (not horizontally like your template) so the first table on the feature.php was running vertically and the rest were horizontal.

Tried this and got _page_main_code. I am using template the mcl template. Is there something else I might need to change?

I have rewritten this mod. I now displays the members profiles not just their picture. See http://cageme.com/featured.php

This is a copy and paste job.

Copy the attached featured.php to you your root.

Of course you will have to change the attached template for your template.

Add __featured_members_title__ and __like_search_result__ as it is in the attached tmpl_ae3_page_600.html make sure you put these in a table.

rename the attached tmpl_ae3_page_600.doc to
tmpl_ae3_page_600.html to view it.

Peace.

Todd

Works great! Thanks.
