My CF Homepage - @ yourusername.christianforums.com !

[Erwin]

Finally, I've spent the whole day coding and come up with the updated MyCF Homepage.

Check mine out at:

http://erwin.christianforums.com

It's basically merge of your CF profile and your CF custom homepage.

From now on, the HTML coding part of the CF custom homepage will NOT cost any blessings! EVERY member can go ahead and customise the HTML part of their MyCF Homepage!

The MyCF Homepage is a place where you can look up a person's CF stats, biography info, CF friends, CF Armor and Items, Latest Blog Entry, Latest Gallery Photo, and lots more.

EDIT: Also added the last 5 guestbook entries in there. :)

I intend to keep upgrading this. :)

Let me know how it goes.

This is a FREE service for ALL members. :) Enjoy! Go forth and customise your MyCF Homepage now!!! :D

EDIT: Good example of one:
http://mnphysicist.christianforums.com/ (http://mnphysicist.christianforums.com/)

EDIT: You can now RATE each other's MyCF Homepage!!! :)

NEW UPDATE:

I made it easy to customize your MyCF page in your UserCP, Profile section.

You just go there and enter the appropriate background color, link to image, font type, colors, and your MyCF page will automatically be customized! :)

Check mine out as an example:

http://erwin.christianforums.com

Try it out now! :)

[Erwin]

Be aware that if your username has strange characters or symbols your MyCF domain name will likely not work.

[-Kyriaki-]

Very cool! Thankyou Erwin!

[KristianJ]

I like that the armour items are much less dominant...all I need to do now is learn HTML :P Thanks, Erwin :)

[Veiled Viper]

Cool,but you also need to edit your homepage,Erwin.
It still says that it costs blessings to get started and upkeep.
;)

It also says this when we go to make or edit the page.

Tip: To save blessings, preview your homepage first as many times as you like until you are happy with it before saving!

[bfly]

Thank you again, you are the greatest, while I have not got around to using mine yet, I think it is a good thing for all members to be able to use.

We do have some menbers that can't participate in all things because of finances (Oh, but for the grace of God, goeth I) and they do bring such joy and love to the forum. Thank you once again for the great things you have done and are doing.

Awesome! I was wondering why I saw the homepages by everyone's siggy...now I know! :D

[Erwin]

People with spaces, symbols and special characters in their username will have trouble using the subdomain link to their MyCF homepage - this is why we no longer allow this for new registrations for the past 6 months. :)

If you want to change your username to use this system, please PM AngelAmidala and she can fix this for you.

Do special symbols include underscores?
Underscores don't work... mmm...

I have added a MyCF Homepage RATING SYSTEM - go to a member's MyCF Homepage and you can RATE their Homepage. :)

[beehoney]

Cool feature! Thanks Erwin!

[Pansy]

I hate that rating system. I got a "1" before I even knew I had one to fix up. That is terrible to do that to someone. :(

[Pansy]

Can I remove the homepage? I really don't want one.

[Erwin]

It's basically just your CF profile. :) Don't worry, I rated you up.

[Joy_Everlasting]

Erwin, my username no longer has any spaces in it, but the link right above my signature still doesn't work for me. Is there any way to fix that? Thanks.

[Erwin]

It looks like underscore will not work... that's a pain... let me see...

[Joy_Everlasting]

It looks like underscore will not work... that's a pain... let me see...When I go to edit my homepage, the second link works but the first one doesn't.

Your link doesn't work for me, either. :confused:

[Erwin]

Underscore doesn't work. I've disallowed people from registering with underscore or spaces or dashes from now on.

Can anyone see my page for that matter?:scratch:
Cuz I really DONT want to lose the spaces in my username to use the feature...

Erwin, is there any way you could disable the link at the bottom of people's posts, and just have access be available through the link to a person's profile?

[MQTA]

I was wondering what happened... I was like "I didn't create a page, where'd it come from?" LOL

lol yeah, I was wondering the same thing.

Thanks Erwin! :)

[LibertyChic]

Very cool Erwin. Only thing I see is that the default profile bit stretches the page out for me. I am set at a high resolution too. Is there some way we can fiddle with this to rearrange items to make the fit better?

[thenewageriseth]

Wow this is cool! thanks for the change, Mr. Erwin. Good looking out! So! As long as the content is clean and fun-we can add anything just about...:)

[Lilium]

Cool :bow:

[pgp_protector]

Ug, now I've got to go & reformat my page :D

[pgp_protector]

Underscore doesn't work. I've disallowed people from registering with underscore or spaces or dashes from now on.

FYI if they use the old format the Home page will still work

I.E.

http://www.christianforums.com/~pgp_protector

Will work
but

http://pgp_protector.christianforums.com/

Will not work
so it appeares to be in your script (or .htaccess) that redirects the subdomain to the ~username

[hzfollower9]

the health bar breaks the frames... otherwise nice :D

so basically this is a redo of the profile page?

[maycontainnuts]

so when we enter a personal website in the edit your profile thing, it won't show up anymore?

[Joy_Everlasting]

It works now!! :clap: Thanks tons Erwin!!

[Erwin]

I've made it so that people with underscores, special characters or spaces in their username will get an alternate URL link automatically in their posts and profiles. :)

[Erwin]

I use IE and it all looks fine to me - please provide screenshots if something is not looking right. :)

Yes, this is a merge of the profile and CF custom homepage - into the one page. :)

[FriendsFellowship]

Erwin, what would be really cool is if all of the tables displayed could be in a separate <div>'s using absolute positioning, with unique "id" attributes. This way, we could re-arrange the entire layout of the page with CSS.

Whadda you think?

Very cool idea indeed... but newbies may end up having tables everywhere on the screen - the problem with absolute positioning is that it doesn't take into account the monitor size, size of the content of the table - there is bound to be overlap etc.

[FallingWaters]

I hate that rating system. I got a "1" before I even knew I had one to fix up. That is terrible to do that to someone. :(
I agree with you Pansy, that's not very nice.

[FriendsFellowship]

Yes, I agree a little CSS could be a lot dangerous.

But you could still consider the separate <div>'s, just position them in-line, then us CSS experts [cough...] could choose to change the positioning if we want to.

If a newbie messes up their page too much, they could delete any CSS they added, essentially resetting their homepage.

[Erwin]

Mmm... it's not hard for me to do at all... You could add CSS to the custom HTML bit of the homepage...

How should I code the <div tags? Any recommendations?

[Faith In God]

Hey. :) That's pretty neat.

Is there a page that can help the less computer-inclined here with a crash course on HTML? It's different from the codes on CF, isn't it?

[FallingWaters]

Your homepage looked okay in my browser which is Firefox, but in my homepage the health bar juts far into the space where my profile photo would go if I had one. Also the armor lists are squished in Firefox (but not in IE as you know).

PS I don't know how to do a screen shot, but I can learn.

Sounds Great! I've got to go right now, I have an appointment, but I'll consider this and post in a few hours.

[cameocat]

This is a super idea. ^_^

yes, the armor and special item lists are fixed, but the health bar is still sticking out past its boundary.

NEW:

There is a new Profile field - MyCF CSS - go to your UserCP Profile to customise this.

Use CSS to customize the look of your MyCF Homepage - you can change the color of links, add a background image - anything you like!
Examples of CSS tags to use (you can cut and paste and change the HEX values:

body {background: #FFF000}
page {background: #FFF000}
a:link {background: #FFF000}
a:hover, a:active {background: #FFF000}
a:visited {background: #FFF000}
.tcat {background: #FFF000}
.theader {background: #FFF000}
.tborder {background: #FFF000}

If you want to use a image background instead, replace the body line with this (you can use an image that you've attached to a thread):

Body{background-image:url(type the image url here)}

Leave it blank for default. :)

[alaurie]

EDIT: Also added the last 5 guestbook entries in there. :)

EDIT: You can now RATE each other's MyCF Homepage!!! :)



I would like to disable the last 5 guestbook entries, the My CF Link with #of views, and especially want to disable the rating system but can't figure out how. I've looked in user options for ways to do this and can't find anything.

[MQTA]

never heard of CSS but thanks for adding it

[FriendsFellowship]

It seems that the health bar is a little feisty in Firefox:



http://www1.christianforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=74951&stc=1&d=1149748252

[FriendsFellowship]

It seems the browser title default value needs a little tweak!

I'm getting:

"Array[username]'s My Christian Forums Homepage"

[FriendsFellowship]

Mmm... it's not hard for me to do at all... You could add CSS to the custom HTML bit of the homepage...

How should I code the <div tags? Any recommendations?

I think I have to think about this more. If the tables in the middle of the page are positioned 'absolute', the normal space they occupy would collapse, and the footer would float up.

A quick fix to this might be to place everything between the header and footer in one big <div style="position:relative">, but I'd need to test that.

:confused:

[Veiled Viper]

Do y'all know you can turn off all health bars in your options?
I think they're silly.
;)

[LibertyChic]

Very cool Erwin. Only thing I see is that the default profile bit stretches the page out for me. I am set at a high resolution too. Is there some way we can fiddle with this to rearrange items to make the fit better?

Either you fixed it or it has resolved itself.

Thanks for everything Erwin! :wave:

Ok, I'm not seeing some of these do anything
.tcat
.theader
Also looking at the raw HTML, I don't even see these two tags in the page.

[jbran555]

coool

[pgp_protector]

I keep breaking the navagation bar :D looks (Top & Bottom)

It appears to be re-using one of the other tags.
Current CSS Tags I'm using is

Body{ BACKGROUND: #bbbbff}
.time{FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; color:#ff2002 }
.alt1 {BACKGROUND: #888CCC; }
.alt2 {BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://www.gw4y.com/pgp/CF_PGP_Background.jpg);}
.fieldset {BACKGROUND: #A5A2BD; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; color:#257525 ; }


EDIT: Reduced it down, but still getting the gfx glitch ???

[FriendsFellowship]

Mmm... it's not hard for me to do at all... You could add CSS to the custom HTML bit of the homepage...

How should I code the <div tags? Any recommendations?

After thinking about this I went and build a test page to make sure this would work. If you are still considering making the page more positionable, here are my recommendations.

Each table below the header should be wrapped in a new <div>, with a unique "id=" attribute. The 'id' naming convention is not important, as long as each one is unique. We can peek at the code to get these id's.

The table on the right of the page, (containing: CF avatar, Latest 5 CF Guestbook, and CF BIo) would have to be recoded into three distinct tables (nested OK). Right now they are a single table.

The entire page from the end of the header down to the bottom, including the footer, should be wrapped in a separate <div style="position:relative;">. This will ensure that the new CSS will not interfere with the header on top of the page. Position 0,0 would actually start after the header.

The footer will need it's own separate <div> with unique 'id'. This will allow the user to reposition the footer back to the end of the page. Without it, the footer would float up as the other <div>'s are repositioned.

These changes would make all of the contents re-positionable.

The user could also choose to prevent one or more of the <div>'s from displaying by setting it to display:none. Then the user would have complete control over what displays and what doesn't.

Erwin, just want to say thanks, I know the level of time and dedication you must invest into CF!

[domi]

I made it easy to customize your MyCF page in your UserCP, Profile section.

You just go there and enter the appropriate background color, link to image, font type, colors, and your MyCF page will automatically be customized! :)

Go ahead and try it! Check mine out as an example:

Okay I figured it out. Sorry about that Erwin! :sorry: By the way, don't know if you noticed or not but there is a bug about the background image. I posted about it in the Bug Reports section. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. ;)

[Black_Ivy]

I was really surprised to look at one of my posts today and see a MyCF link! ;)

I tried it out, and it works great. Thank you Erwin, this and everything else about CF is brilliant. :thumbsup:

[pgp_protector]

argh, I lost all the CSS settings I had :P
time to go find new settings all over :D

[VictorianVelvet]

Okay, this may seem like a silly request, but in the profile you can put in backgrounds and colors, etc. There is no way to check the page from there to see if the colors are working well with the page. It takes many links later to check to see if your page looks okay. Maybe I'm just the impatient type. :)

[ImHisServant]

You did a fantastic job with the profile/homepage updates... you da man!!!!!

[cobweb]

Gaaah!!!!!!!

I'm stupid. I can't get the text colors to change at all. I was thinking about making my CF page match my genealogy webpage, but it isn't working very well.

I've entered the HEX codes for the text colors and I am still left with black, purple, blue and aqua no matter what values I enter.

Any HTML that I use in the HTML section only affects the bottom of the page.

[lily00]

Help me, help me, help me, help me!!! Ahhh!!! I am pulling my hair out, losing my mind!!! How do you do image backgrounds? Where do you get the URL codes!!!

:confused:

[lily00]

Ahh. I actually figured it out with people's help!!!

That happened to me too until I entered the Number sign [#] in front of the code like this #FFFFCC

[FallingWaters]

Erwin,

You probably already know this, but this is just to confirm that the health bar is now the appropriate length in the Firefox browser. Thank you.

[lily00]

Now, :) Where do you use those codes? Anyone know? :)

[cobweb]

That happened to me too until I entered the Number sign [#] in front of the code like this #FFFFCC

Sadly, I do have the # in there.

I have tried:

HEX (#888000)
HEX #888000
HEX {#888000}
HEX(#888000)
text (white)
HEX (#FFFFFF)
screaming at the computer

It isn't changing ANY of the text color.

I can change the font style, but that is about it.

[lily00]

Which color do you want it to be. I have a code chart on my site, and I can give you the code to put there.

[cobweb]

Which color do you want it to be. I have a code chart on my site, and I can give you the code to put there.

I'm trying to get olive and maroon right now.

[lily00]

Kay. Be right back. :) I don't know what olive looks like so I will get maroon for you and you can try it out. :)

[lily00]

Try pasting this code as it is in the background color box.

#770000

[cobweb]

Try pasting this code as it is in the background color box.

Thanks.

I don't know why it didn't dawn on me to leave the "HEX" and parenthesis off. It works with just the # and code. ^_^

[littleredkiss484]

Thank you for the updated homepages, Erwin! I have been having a lot of fun with mine. :thumbsup:

[virginia4Jesus]

Erwin,
Thanks for the homepages!!! :hug:
It forced me to get creative :idea:!!!
I spent ALL NIGHT learning HTML and adding cool little tweaks to the profile. It was fun and (though I am tired) I am better for it. :yawn: :thumbsup: :sleep:

--v4J

[cobweb]

Thanks, Erwin!

I just wasted the better part of 2 days on this stuff, but it sure was fun. :D

I think I'm going to quit messing with mine before I "tweak" it to death. I might have to make some adjustments if I ever get my blog or guestbook going, but for now this will have to do.
