I am an LJ-whore.

[Loony BoB]

I think we should have a "LiveJournal Name:" field in our EoFF Profiles. *nods*

[TheAbominatrix]

I agree

[Mr. Graves]

The link to my LJ is in my sig. Just click that fancy pagoda picture.

If you want to add one, go ahead. I'm neither for nor against it.

[crono_logical]

I say Yan. I ain't got one anyway nor want to waste the time maintaining one :p

[Yamaneko]

I'm going to say yes, for BoB. It wouldn't be too much trouble, would it?

[Del Murder]

I'll take care of it later today.

[Linus]

Yes, Del will add it right after he adds the "Mood:" and "Favorite Ice Cream Flavor:" fields.

[Yamaneko]

god no.

[Dr Unne]

I think we already have a field for this, called "Homepage".

[Big Ogre Umaro]

Dearest Doctor Unne,

Homepage: smallcave.net
LJ Name: bou

sincerely,

BOU
Smallcave.net<hr>

Yeah I don't know why this is an issue. No one in their right mind would care enough to be against it.

[Dr Unne]

If you add something like that, it should at least be able to list journals other than LJs. Some people have blogs, or other LJ-type non-real-LJ services. It'd have to be another field where you type in a URL. That would be fair wouldn't it?

[crono_logical]

Unne has a point. If people really want an LJ link, the sig would be a nice place to stick it :p

Besides, if you do start going around adding random fields, it'll mess up the nice alternating colours on the profile page much like you see at the GamingForce forums (well, last time I checked) :p

[Big Ogre Umaro]

what the eff are you on about?

[crono_logical]

Use your signature, you lazy boy :D

[Loony BoB]

Phhhbt, we added the MSN handle and it didn't mess up the alternating colours. And MSN is a crappy colour.

But to go along with the point of blogs etc, well, they can throw in their blog link if they're that desperate. Or else just make it Online Diary Link: or something, but I think LJ has the vast majority of 'em.

Oh and I'm pretty sure more regulars here have LJ than ICQ >=O

[Dr Unne]

It is a bit of a hassle to line up the colors right. I remember struggling with it.

[Leeza]

If you add two new fields then the colours won't be so messed up. Think of something else to add along with LJ field, BoB. :)

[Yamaneko]

Real name?

(Yes I know I'm not BoB. :D )

[Linus]

"Favorite Dorito flavor:" field.

[TheAbominatrix]

Maybe 'Favorite Final Fantasy'. It'd be relevant. Especially because doritos are el diablo *flees*

[Linus]

How in God's name is "Favorite Final Fantasy" relevant? This is a... uhh... oh... shit.

[Yamaneko]

"Favorite Game:" would be a better choice.

[Shlup]

I seriously could not care less about this, though I must say that if you add such a field it should make the text a link.

[Del Murder]

'Favorite Enforcer:'

[eestlinc]

or just make your lj name the same as your name everywhere else to avoid confusion and "who the arf is this commenting in my LJ named arse_cake or whatever oh it's reno wtf! I mean it's NOT RENO"

[Loony BoB]

LiveJournal name:
Blogger link:

Two birds with one stone.

Otherwise, I'd say "Real Name" would be a nice option, it's extremely nifty, imho.

[MecaKane]

Or just Journal Link, and Real Name. For people who have DJ and etc. And you wanna be able to see people's journals before you add them, in case all they do is rant about how they want to kill you. :eek:

[eestlinc]

well, if someone is ranting about wanting to kill me, I'd probably want to know so I can be on the lookout and all.

[Citizen Bleys]

It's done.

[Dr Unne]

You're my hero, Bleys.

[Citizen Bleys]

Sarcasm is hurtful *slices wrists*

[Erdrick Holmes]

What about people who use Blurty instead of LJ or DJ, I use Blurty

[Loony BoB]

Remember those times when you say to your parents "I can't find it" and then they come in and move one thing and it's right there, and then they roll their eyes and say "maybe you should look with your hands, and not with your eyes!"

Well, this is even sadder, really.

EDIT: Might be an idea to have "Other online journal:" instead of "Blogger:" though, just to satisfy the masses.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Well I just put up the Blurty link, it's about as good as LJ or DJ as I've heard. Would that really matter?

EDIT: In the LJ/DJ link section that is

[Mikztsu]

I would be all for it. It wouldn't hurt at all and there's so many people using some sort of online journal these days.

[Loony BoB]

It's already been done, Mik xD

[Mikztsu]

I was just about to edit my post.xD I read the announcement minute ago. Good job.:cool:

EDIT: It sucks though, that you would have to copy/paste the url.=\ *whines*

[Loony BoB]

I just type it out x_x

Oh, just wondering, Bleys - would you be able to put in a little button for it? Like there is for websites / PM / attacking?

[Mikztsu]

No, I meant it doesn't link from your profile, silly.xD

Yes, I was just thinking the same button thing. It'd be more useful than allmighty attack button, for sure.=o

[Dr Unne]

Putting in a button is a really good idea. It's too bad that you've changed the LJ field to a link too. You could've combined the two into "LJ/DJ/Blog link" and then there'd only be one button to add.

[Loony BoB]

*still thinks a "Real Name" field would have been better than a second diary field*

Knowing names is a nice thing.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Yes Bleys, make an LJ button, do it... NOW.

How about a realname section as well
*shakes Danny's hand*

[Citizen Bleys]

a) I can't do graphics. I'm a developer, not a designer, and any graphics I try to do are going to look worse than a dog's bum smothered in bat puke.

b) I don't know how to turn custom fields into a link, but I'll try.

c) I don't know if custom fields are even pulled from the db for the postbit link--if not, then adding an LJ/DJ button would require hacking the board, and that's just not an option

d) You'll have to wait a few days, because I'm in the middle of some of the most important exams of my career at the moment...I can take 30 minutes here and there to surf the net, but I sure as *blank* can't take 4-6 hours to try to figure stuff out on the night before an exam.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Bleys I can make you an LJ and Blogger icon.

[Pancaek]

<img src="http://skye.chwombat.net/journal.gif">

Is this okay? Yes, I know you might not even be able to use it, but I just thought I'd try to help.

[Citizen Bleys]

Looks good enough to me.

[Erdrick Holmes]

I made about 2 icons (one for LJ and one for Bogger) and emailed them to you dude, try them?

[m4tt]

[Erdrick Holmes]

Yeah matt I know but, what if you have an LJ as well as a Blogger? Hmm?

[Spatvark]

What if you have more than one site? Oh my! We must add 50 site buttons to the bottom of the page! It's not cluttered enough as it is!

[Yamaneko]

I say leave it. The attack button should be the last and only button to be added... ever. People should click on the thing that says "profile", there's useful info there. ;)

[m4tt]

*clicks on Yamaneko's profile*

wtf u lied. :(

[Citizen Bleys]

Alright, I got it done--I just wish I could figure out how to make those icons not appear if the field in question is blank, like the homepage link.

I suspect that requires source code editing :(

[Loony BoB]

I really hate to be the one to point it out, Bleys, but the colours in the profile pages aren't alternating at the bottom anymore >_* But I think that's what you'd look at last of all things, so yeah.

Good job on the other bits, though. Are you able to just copy the coding for the homepage button, maybe? *dunno crap* *shuts up now on* >_>;;

EDIT: *hugs* Thanks heaps for all your trouble.

[Yamaneko]

Yes, thanks for giving in Bleys.

[Citizen Bleys]

I thought I bloody had that.

*goes off to fix*

[Erdrick Holmes]

Nice..... now I can peer into the minds of our members

[Spatvark]

I still honestly believe we only need one journal link; it's cluttered enough down there as it is...

[Dr Unne]

Combine LJ + blog into one link, that's what I think. The only reason they were meant to be seperate in the first place is because the LJ field was going to be a username and the blog field was going to be a link. Now that they're both links it makes sense to only have one field. I think.

[Citizen Bleys]

It needs to be two fields or it'll apparently *arf* up the almighty alternating colors.

What I'd like to do is have a dedicated LJ link so that all people would have to enter would be their username and I could code in the rest. (i.e., I enter bel_isenhart, and the board expands that to &lt;a href=http://www.livejournal.com/users/$userinfo[field8]/&gt;$userinfo[field8]&lt;/a&gt;

[Dr Unne]

It's weird how if you don't put anything in the LJ or Blog field, it generates a link to the current thread instead. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out how to make it not display the icons if the field is empty, right? I have faith in your PHP skills.

[Loony BoB]

If you make it so that it only shows the name, how would you seperate DeadJournal from LiveJournal?

Dude, I have enough trouble FINDING the part of code that needs to be modified for a hack
