Topic: Block Information for User Info

[tk2012]

Does the user info block pull the same information from where the user's post info is pulled?

I'm trying to get rid of the text part of the block the says "Administrator" because I use images which also have the word "Administrator" on them.  It is the same for all other groups, too.

Do I need to edit the info where the block pulls the information from to get rid of the text and leave the image?  And then also delete something from within the simple portal block, too?

I hope I'm making sense here.

Also, would that be the Post.template.php file?


Also, how do I get the block to center the Avatar?

The User information block does pull its information from the same location as the Display.template.php file (the Post Display template), but that is from a source file, not a template file.

You will want to edit the 'sp_userInfo' block function itself, from your 'SPortal2.php' file.

I am not sure why the avatar image isn't being centered, as it should be, the edit below may resolve that.

Replace this code:

Code: [Select]

if (!empty($member_info['avatar']['image']))
echo '
', $member_info['avatar']['image'], '<br /><br />';
Wth this code:

Code: [Select]

if (!empty($member_info['avatar']['image']))
echo '
<div class="sp_center sp_fullwidth">', $member_info['avatar']['image'], '</div><br /><br />';
Remove the code below to get rid of the membergroup name:

Code: [Select]

if (!empty($member_info['group']))
echo '
', $member_info['group'], '<br />';
else
echo '
', $member_info['post_group'], '<br />';

I will check that, but I found a little more info.  I have the same problem with another mod on SMF (Dynamic Memberlist) and the Avatar is on the left...

Now, this is where it gets tricky for both Simple Portal and the Dynamic Memberlist...

I use XP w/ Firefox 3.0.10 and it aligns LEFT.

In XP w/ IE7 it is correct on both mods in the center.

BUT, with Vista Home Prof. w/ Firefox 3.0.10 it loads in the center for the first second and then moves to the LEFT and stays...

CRAZY!!!!!

I'm going to look at what you posted above.

OK, I got rid of the names.  That worked.  THANKS

Now, I did the other replace code you suggested to center the avatar and here's the crazy thing.  Like above, I'm using XP w/ firefox.  I refreshed the page and the Avatars moved to the center while the page was loading and then moved back to the left again just like the Vista version does.

[tk2012]

Still can't figure out why they won't center.  Uggh!  Any other ideas?

I managed to move my info in this block to the left by using <div align="left"> in the code. Maybe this can also help you.

My only problem with this block is that my avatar is not getting displayed when using Firefox. With Safari I have no problem at all.

Any ideas?

[tk2012]

I don't think it is the block.  I think it is something else in another file.  My avatar is pushed left when looking at the block, when looking at the dynamic memberlist, and when you look at the avatar inside a post.  But, only in firefox.   

There has to be something that is overriding the info from these areas somewhere I'm guessing.  I've been attempting to make changes in Display.template to see if I can get it to work correctly, but it isn't catching.

Will keep trying

BINGO!!!

Made some progress.  I uninstalled the Reflection Avatar Mod and my avatars are now centered in 2 of the 3 places I wanted. 

Simple Portal Block is CENTERED!!  (YAY) 

Dynamic Memberlist Block is CENTERED!!  (YAY) 

When reading posts it is still on the left...  (BOO)   

Ok, well at least I am getting closer to figuring this out.

It should be related to a mod really.

It was the reflection avatar mod.  I got some help from that author and it is working now and is centered EVERYWHERE and WITH the Reflection Avatar Mod installed again!

Remove the code below to get rid of the membergroup name:

Code: [Select]

if (!empty($member_info['group']))
echo '
', $member_info['group'], '<br />';
else
echo '
', $member_info['post_group'], '<br />';

With the update to 2.3 version of the mod, where do I go now in order to get rid of the following circled area?  Since there is no longer a SPortal2.php file...

Nevermind.. I found it finally!  Woohoo.  PortalBlocks.php
