[WebMaster]

Thanks for the help. I am still a little confused, though. How do differentiate between the left and right columns. What exactly I want to do is move the Videos and Photos to the right side of the User's Page.

That help

[WebMaster]

Tried this. User Page CRAPPED OUT! I need to restore it somewhow.

[WebMaster]

deleted the Object and signed up again with same info. SAVED MY USER'S PROFILE!! I think I will do alot more research before I try this again. However, I still want to put my videos and photos on the right column!

[DYNAMICTECH]

At the very bottom of the code you will see something like this


[/column][/colgroup][/column][col umn width="1" locked="1"]module widgetName="main" action="sidebar"/][/column][/colgroup][/layout]



the underlined part is the video widget module that you need to find in the code above this part
and cut and paste it in.

[/column][/colgroup][/column][col umn width="1" locked="1"][module widgetName="video" action="embed1" embedInstanceId="2"][displayType]detail[/displayType][videoSet>for_contributor[/videoSet][videoNum]2 [/videoNum][/module][module widgetName="main" action="sidebar"/][/column][/colgroup][/layout]

tell me if that helped

I am looking to move the 'photo' widget on a users profile to the top of the middle column and have it fill that space as it does on a main home page. Can someone tell me a simple way to do this?

PLEASE HELP!

I am trying to help a user add a custom header for her personal music profile, and I am trying to find out how to do this follow the info above, but I cannot find her as a user. I can see the exact day she signed, up I cannot find her through info, but I can find just about everyone else. Am I wasting my time? Are there some users that you cannot find through the ning.com/admin/index/manage?

Thanks

i hadn't found an easier way but the still might be

[Andrew Chesney]

I answered my own question. I created a dummy profile that needed to look like the way this singer wanted hers to look, so I went under "user" like it says to above and went to theme, and I pasted the dummy theme css into her theme css. That did the trick!

now this is just crazy, i love it!
been playing around with a test account for the past like.. 5 hours.
im getting the hang of it, and i think i could offer my services to my users.

just 1 problem/question.

the main reason for my doing this was because i wanted to remove user comments from the page, but so there is still a comment box for users to write each other comments. theory being there is a page with comments, and it would save a lot of room on my userpage if people/i could click on the comments tab on my page to view my latest comments, and users could still comment me from my profile without the comment being displayed..?
im not sure if i made my point clear enough, im too tired!

well i hope i get the help i need?
