UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Adding a "memo" page in my home section

How do you go about adding a link in my home for each member so that they can click to open a popup window with a section they can type stuff in? It would have to keep the messages when they closed the window.

example:
A user goes to "my home" and click on Memo. It opens a popup window and they can then type a memo or have a to do list there. When they return to view the list later it would still have what they put there unless of course It was edited

almost like the 6.5b? version where you can add information about each user in the admin section.

Im guessing this would go under the "If you don't get a reply take it to the developer for hire" section...


:-(

It wouldn't really be that hard, just add a text field to the user table, a link on myhome and a small script which reads that information and with the possibility of saving it when pressing a save button. Wouldn't take many minutes to create...

I have a mod for this finished, will write up the instructions and post after I've had dinner.

Is all of that considered basic php coding?

Im seriously tring to learn php. I have read books and even went to a ton of sites and they all have the same basic codes for you to learn. It just looks to me like you could start coding in php and 25 years from now you still would be learning the language.

Well, I think so, but I've been programming for something like 20 years in lots of different programming languages and in PHP for at least 5 years so I'm hardly the best person to decide what could be considered basic. Basic PHP knowledge is quite easy, most of the functionality in PHP comes from all the available functions and you don't really need to know them. You just need to know what you want to do and then find the right function in the PHP manual.

Of course, once you know most of the important functions by heart the programming is much quicker. =]

Works GREAT! .... Thank You!

wow. now I have to wait all day untill I get home to try it

Thanks a ton. I figured it would be a great hack and ome in handy

Thanks again!

OK, get my hops all up and *sniff-sniff* im on 6.5b1...

Im working to get it working now but all i get are errors...

*im looking for the comparable code in the files*

I've updated the mod to work with v6.5 now, there were some changes needed.

Have I said I love you latley


j/k of course but I was really tired of looking and fixing errors...

I've only had time to try it on an early dev-release of 6.5 though, so it might not work on the beta, but I hope so. There weren't that many changes.
