Profile Customize

The profile customize module in Boonex Dolphin 7.1 is too simple. My users want to be able to customize everything on their profile, not just background, font, and border. They want to be able to change the color of the top menu, box header, etc...

I heard that in Boonex Dolphin in 7.0.9, users can pretty change everything in their profiles, is that true?

You can add entries for any section of the page you see.  I added an entry for the submenu; easy peasy.  I added a new designbox for the guestbook and added it; easy peasy.  Simply open the customiser in the backend; look at the way the code is entered for one of the existing entries by using the "edit" link; you just want to copy that out to a text file so you can see how it is done.  It is very easy to add in code for other things.

By the way, the default css for the submenu does not have a top border; it is up against the header.  You can add a bit of padding and remove the bit that is setting the top border to zero.

Thank you so much!

LOL I've been running my Dolphin site for 2 months but I didn't know what to do with that "Add Entry" box.

I downloaded the old Dolphin 7.0.9 and am gonna use the profile customize install MySQL command to add entries. I hope it will works.

OK So I've copied a whole bunch of entries from version 7.0.9 to version 7.1.

I was wondering if it is possible to change the margin and padding elements. Such as I want to change the margin between the wrapper and the menu. Is it possible?

Yes, but you will need to go into the profile customiser module to add the code so one can select "padding" and "margins"  By the way, one can use transparency in the boxes background by entering the rgba() code in the colour box instead of using the colour picker.  There is a forum topic for adding it to the customiser but I just tell my members to enter the rgba() in the input box.

By the way, by default, all of the boxes on the profile page are designboxfirst; designbox_1.html.  So the code affects all boxes at the same time.  If you want different boxes to have different codes, then you need to create new designboxes and change the boxes to use the new designboxes.  For example, if you wanted the profile comments box to be able to be style differently, copy designbox_1. html to designbox_6.html ( or whatever is free), edit it to use a different CSS class and then add it to the profile customiser.
