Profile updates

Post by **Rollie** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 2:05 pm

Okay, so I have added the option to display your profile data without any outside info.

Also, I am almost done with my CSS link addition so you'll soon be able to do something like this:

if you know a little CSS! And that's just the tip of the iceberg! There's a ton you can do!

<3 so much! OMG, did I really just less-than-three on here? Yikes.

I'm an example! Yay!

You said there was a question too...

Okay, so I decided not to ask the question =x

The question was gonna be whether people would rather be able to upload their CSS files or be able to just link to an external CSS file. I opted for just linking to an external CSS file and might add the option of uploading in the future.

I need to double check with my host to see if I can link from it, since my silly significant other can't remember our router password so that I can forward the port to my box, and he doesn't want to reset it since he's afraid that there's some settings on there that he'd lose.

Ah well.

I assume that you'll have the default style sheet in there, and then the custom one right below it, so that we don't have to fill in values for every single ID.

Well, the best thing to do would be to take the default CSS data from the file and modify it to suit your needs.

In the end, this might be a bit overkill and might scare folks away that don't know CSS... dunn... we'll see!

Ok. At least I've already done Helene's. I may tweak her a bit, but I kind of like how it turned out, especially without all the other stuff.

I mean, Amen for paying for the site and all, but yay for clean profile page. I need to run a profile update so that maybe the range information will fix itself.

Now uhh.. One thing I'm not used to is linking my CSS from somewhere else.. How do I do that?

I've always coded it directly on the site...

Look at the CSS files:

Something like this is what you need:

Code: Select all

I was thinking about it completely the wrong way. I've got it figured out now.

Rollie, I wasn't talking about how to link a background.. I was talking about linking the CSS from another site. Normally, I code it directly into the site itself (Instead of importing it). I forgot that you had to upload the CSS file itself (Thank god for dreamweaver, eh? Or I'dve never gotten it.)
