This mod adds AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, Jabber, and Skype fields to your profiles. They are displayed when viewing the profile of a user.

It isn’t really a plugin, but… I didn’t know where else to put this.

Please let me know if you’re interested. I’ll post it soon.

i am interested. but ICQ is missing. please add it if u release the plugin…

[bbolman]

Plugin updated to include ICQ. You can find the updated version in the link above.

[topiq]

there are some SQL syntax errors. it works if u change the SQL query to this one:

ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_icq VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_email ;

ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_aim VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_icq ;

ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_msn VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_aim ;

ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_yahoo VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_msn ;

ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_gtalk VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_yahoo ;

ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_jabber VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_gtalk ;

ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_skype VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_jabber ;

I would suggest to use the usermeta table to store this..

that way the table structure will remain constant

[bbolman]

I do not really understand the meta table as well…sorry, if anyone would care to explain than I would be more than happy. It’s just simpler this way. Does it work the same as the regular users table?

Really missing the online status here…

This isn’t a plugin, it’s a core file edit, if I’m not mistaken…

If so it’s probably best to warn people of this, because any changes made to core files are undone with future bbPress updates if the file is overwritten.

I have extra profile fields implemented on my local server, I just need to upload it to my main site. I’ll post it later.

I really don’t know how to use it.

Code:

[ SQL ] —
// Using phpmyadmin or something along those lines, run this mysql query:
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_icq VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_email ;
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_aim VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_icq ;
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_msn VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_aim ;
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_yahoo VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_msn ;
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_gtalk VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_yahoo ;
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_jabber VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_gtalk ;
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD user_skype VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER user_jabber ;
[ OPEN ] —
bb-includes/functions.php
[ FIND ] —
‘user_email’ => array(1, __(‘Email’))
[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ] —
, ‘icq’ => array(0, __(‘ICQ Number’)), ‘aim’ => array(0, __(‘AIM Address’)), ‘msn’ => array(0, __(‘MSN Messenger’)), ‘yahoo’ => array(0, __(‘Yahoo Messenger’)), ‘gtalk’ => array(0, __(‘Google Talk Name’)), ‘jabber’ => array(0, __(‘Jabber Name’)), ‘skype’ => array(0, __(‘Skype Name’))

I mean I don’t what these mean.

Anybody can help me?

[bbolman]

Yeah, unfortunately, this is a core file edit, so what those instructions mean is to open the files bb-includes/functions.php, find that line, then right after that add what it says in the “add” section. If someone has the ability to write this in plugin form I’d be more than willing to change it up. I’ll work on that in the meantime.

what happened to this file? where can i get it?
