If you are an admin with your own Mustang-themed Vbulletin, you can add a cool feature for your members with MMS profiles that will display a link to their MMS page!
Example:
Installation is very simple:
1. In your "user profile field manager" add a new field and call it "My Mustang Site Username"
Make this field a single-line text box, editible and optional. MAKE NOTE OF THE PROFILE ID NUMBER!
2. In your template editor, you need to add some new code to your POSTBIT or POSTBIT LEGACY template (depending on which style of postbit you use)
Place it where you want it to appear below the avatar and user info. If unsure, search the template for this:
Code:
<if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if>
</div>
Right after the above, paste this code: (NOTE! YOU MUST CHANGE THE PROFILE ID IN THE EXAMPLE BELOW (field 86) TO MATCH THE ONE YOU CREATED ON YOUR OWN FORUM!)
Code:
<!-- mms link code -->
<br />
<if condition="$post['field86']"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.mymustangsite.com/$post[field86]"> <img border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/mms.gif" alt="View mymustangsite profile"></a></div></if>
<!-- end mms -->
Be sure to repeat this step for all your stylesets that are independent of the parent style.
Lastly, copy this image and upload it to your /images/misc folder, and do the same for any custom stylesets you may have imported to your forum.
Now, if your members have a mymustangsite account, they simply enter the username (not id#!) in the custom profile you created, and when they make a post, their MMS page link will appear over in the postbit area as shown in the example above. If they do not have this info in their profile, no icon will appear.
These instructions are for VB3.x versions but it should work for 3.5 and 3.6 as well.
If you require assistance with installing this mod, just ask!
