Change Users Profile Page


http://YOURSITE.ning.com/admin/index/manage
Only network creators can do this

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scroll down and click *User
Now here you will find each user content codes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page


find the box marked
my.xg_profiles_layout (string)


Now this is were you want to be real careful, wrong step here could result in loss data of the User account
Click Edit this Object

 

now I'm going to break it down
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 To add a textbox =
[module widgetName="html" action="embed2" embedInstanceId="5"/]
2 To add a Rss Feed=
[module widgetName="feed" action="embed1" embedInstanceId="4"/]
 

change the # of the embedinstanceid=" # "/ i just put a number after the one in there like "51" "41" easy

==================================================================

Page Break Down
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Left side of the page is at the top of the code
starts at [column width="3"]
and ends [/column]
right above the [module widgetName="activity"
Is were you will find [/column] All the code after [/column] Is the middle of the page
Move the different Modules around in the parts of the code to change your user page.
=================================================================
Enjoy
All the code above will not work DO NOT copy and paste
you must change the [ to > to get the code above to work

Once again BE CAREFUL if you do not know what you are doing or do not understand the instructions do not attempt this.

yes it just for each user not all user's
i haven't found out how to change the user page for all the users yet
but i think Ning has plans in the works

Is there any way to use this script to remove a members friends list before banning them, so they cannot communicate cross networks, and continue to try and steal members from my network? Thx Jim

Hi,
I got the following code from your post(thread here)
[module widgetName="html" action="embed2" embedInstanceId="5"/]
Is this the code to add the text box? For forum, in which file shall I add it?
Thanks,

Vg.

I followed up until this step, however I cannot find anything that says, "thumbnailUrll"

Any advice?

Reply to This

well, I think I cannot find it there because that user has not uploaded any profile photos as of yet, At least that is my best guess right now

Tried this, however, my network has over 4700 members, which means I can't just scroll through every one to find the one I want. I tried filtering by screen name and that didn't seem to work. How do I find the member I'm looking for???

Scroll down to "user" and click it.

Then search through the members until you find the one you're looking for.

Then click "edit this object"

Look for "thumbnailUrll", in this box is the url to the current photo. Type or paste in the url to the photo you would like to add.

That is it. Be careful because its not hard to mess things up.
