PHP Block

Hi All,

I have a tool that allows me to add a PHP block to any page at my site. If I want to have a block that links to the profile edit page, where the ID is a variable, is that something I can do myself, or it require a developer support?

http://mysite.com/pedit.php?ID=1

How to do it?

the block will be added to the account page.

Best Regards,

this has been written about here in the forums. not sure of the topic, but if you were to try a few searches you may be able to locate it. i also think deano was the one who provided the answers on this very topic or extremely similar.

The code would be something like this.

$memID = (int)$_COOKIE['memberID'];
if ($memID > 0) {
$sCode = '<a href="http://mysite.com/pedit.php?ID=1" target="_blank">http://mysite.com/pedit.php?ID=' .        $memID . '</a>';
echo $sCode;
}

Of course you will want to make sure that block is shown only to guests.

Just tried it, that is kinda cool.   I had a thought just after I did this and was viewing the edit page - specifically the "manage avatars" part.   Would there be any way to have a php block that had "profile picture upload"?  That might help mitigate the horrible design and bugs in the avatar section a bit.

I am sure it's possible. It would be a lot harder though and off the top of my head i do not know how. It would have to be researched.

You could just provide a link to the add photo page for the default album like so.

$iMemID = (int)$_COOKIE['memberID'];
$sNickName = getNickName($iMemID);
$sLink = 'm/photos/albums/my/add_objects/' . $sNickname . '-s-photos/owner/' . $sNickName;
$sCode = '<a href=' . $sLink . '>Upload Profile Photo</a>';
echo $sCode;
