1.How can I let people have pics as Signatures.
Ya know let them use the IMG tag and the url to that pic.

2. I have a custume account Infermation page for my members. But how can I get it to come up in there public profile. And please till me just how to do it. Cuz I have been trying for weeks now. There is no hack out for it. I have looked. And looked. Prove me wrong, show me one that was made in the last year.

You can't. Signatures in Geeklog are text-only.



You can do that by writing a plugin. The plugin API in Geeklog 1.3.8 has been extended with a couple of functions specifically for that purpose.

There is always a way. I just have to figer it out. lol


Till me how. I have tryed for weeks to figer it out.
It's the first thing I tryed to work on. But it's just not doing what in my mind I think it will do. It's like right there but not. so so frustrated!!!! lol

The plugin API documentation would be a start. It's not as detailed as the Plugin Developers Guide by Tom and Blaine, but the latter hasn't been updated with the new functions yet.

I already wrote a few plugins that use the new API but can't release them because they were custom work. I do have another one, though, that I can release - as soon as I find the source again. That one isn't exactly what you're looking for but would at least show how to use the new API functions. It's also a very minimal plugin, so it shouldn't be too hard to understand ...

I'll post in this thread when I have it.

ok cool thianks!

Wish I knew about these a couple weeks ago... This simplifies everything (at least I will find out tonight )

Yes I am mental.

Does the plugin_profileblocksedit_ function always put your block after the submit button?

Also is there another way to create a custom user registration page besides the $_CONF['custom_registration'] = true method?

I would really hate to force people to use my custom registration page just to use my plugin (which requires a few custom registration fields to be filled out). Also if there is no other way to do custom registration is there a way for other plugins to add fields to a custom registration page (with the now standard plugin_profileblocksedit_ function)?

Yes I am mental.

Okay, the sample plugin is here now. It's not very useful on any site other than the one it was originally written for, but I hope it helps to understand how the new plugin API functions work.

Make sure to read the enclosed README.

Thanks!!!
Will start playing with it today.
