Geeklog Forums

Hello all... new to GeekLog and have a few questions regarding the script. Maybe you can help me out...

Question 1: Is there any way to put another contribute menu link on the User Functions Menu?

Question 2: Is there a way to show offline users or all users on a static page with pic?

Question 3: Is there any way to add a place where users can have there own personal diary or journal?

Question 4: Is there a script or code to adjust the users picture so they don't get an error if their mage is too large. I have changed the settings in the config file but just don't want any error.

Well... this is good to start, I am sure there will be more

Thanks in advance,
Bear

Plugins can add links to the user's menu. A very minimal plugin would do the job, but I don't think such a thing exists yet.



If someone wrote the necessary PHP code ... My old simple user list may be a start.



Sounds like you're looking for the Journal plugin.



Geeklog can resize images on the fly if you have NetPBM, ImageMagick or the gdlib. Check the documentation.

Thanks Dirk for the quick response . Can you recommend a good PHP book for a newbie to start out with?

If you have any programming experience with any other language, then the PHP manual should be all you need.

OK... so I don't get it... you said



I have been lookin at this thing for the past 2 hours and I just don't get it...

I also want to know if I install imagemagick to the root directory of my site?

Also, where are the instructions to install the journal :-( I am dying here... help a newbie out...

Thanks for the php manual link though... should be helpful in the future.

You'd need to implement the plugin_getuseroption_yourpluginname function. Though not quite up to date, the Plugin Developers Guide contains all the necessary information.



Not sure about ImageMagick. NetPBM may be easier to install - just put all its binaries in a directory.



Sorry, forgot that it comes without installation instructions. But it really just installs like any other plugin: Move the files to their proper places, click the "install" link from the Admin's "Plugins" panel.
