Dating Website Support Forum - Webscribble

In the list of members online the software shows for example

Outside United States, Australia
or
Tennessee, United States

In the view profile we see:

Melbourne, Outside United States, Australia
or
Franklin, Tennessee, United States

My own feeling is that the words "Outside United States" are entirely not needed and if anything show a silly kind of us/them thinking.

I had this taken care of in V2 but V3 is another story.

Outside united states is shown in the states field.

do you want it just to not display when viewing the profile?

like if someone selected outside us for the state field just do not show it when profile is viewed this would be the easy fix..

some code could be written to make the state field only appear when United states is selected...

Be more specific on exactly how you want this to act...

thanks

Paul

Either of the ways you suggested is fine.

Here's the code I had in V2:

<? //echo (!$no_state ? "$fUser[state], " : "").$fUser[country];

if ($fUser[state] != "Outside United States")
{echo "$fUser[state]";}
else
{echo "$fUser[country]";}
?>

I made a lot of modifications over the last few years to v2, but somehow I'm stumped on where to put the same mods in V3. I'm guessing the logic might not work the same way anyhow.

Open :

engine/pages/whos_online.php

find:

Code: Select all

$state = (!$no_state ? "$fUser[state], " : "");

add the follow line after that line:

Code: Select all

if ($state=="Outside United States"){$state="";}

This should work although I did not test it so let me know...

Paul

Of course, right now I've got nobody from Outside United States online.....I'll check back later.

Does not work.

I was trying to prevent: Outside United States, Russia....Outside United States, South Africa

That's the fix you gave above, but somehow it doesn't work.

The other thing I think looks ugly is:

Chicago, Illinois, United States
Tampa, Florida, United States

The code I created for V2 and pasted above took care of both situations.

Mutton,

Just tested it was a small problem with the code...

near line 146 find

Code: Select all

   $state = (!$no_state ? "$fUser[state], " : "");

Add this line on a new line after the previous line

Code: Select all

   if ($state=="Outside United States, "){$state="";}

The problem was it need a , and a space after the words Outside United States

copy paste this new line and works fine

Paul

Thanks, Of course there's no-one from Outside United States online to test it when needed.

The other thing I would like to do is elminate "United States" after the state names.

After $country = $fUser[country];

I added if ($country=="United States") {$country="";}

but it leaves the comma after the state name.



I want to make this same change to the preview profile display, but can't find the right script.


if ($country=="United States") {$country="";}

I tried to effect the same change to preview_profile_wp.php but can't get it to work. I added the lines:

if ($country == "United States") {$country = " ";}
if ($state == "Outside United States") {$state = " ";}

but no matter where I put them they seem to have no effect.

there are 2 preview_profile.php

one is in engine/pages/preview_profile.php

the other is in:

engine/preview_profile.php (this is the one you want to modify)

open this file:

find

Code: Select all

?>

at the end of the file

add this before the last line:

Code: Select all

if ($profile['country'] == "United States") {$profile['country'] = " ";}
if ($state == "Outside United States") {$state = " ";}


try that out let me know how it goes

now open

templates/preview_profile_wp.html

fine

Code: Select all

{STATE},

remove the , after {STATE}

and save

Should be good to go.

Paul

Awesome!

How about the same thing on the Browse and Search results display, where it shows the same info for each result?

for the search results open

engine/pages/search.php

find near line 813

Code: Select all

$profile_state = $profile[state];

add on the next line after this:

Code: Select all

if ( $profile_country== "United States") {$profile_country= " ";}
if ($profile_state == "Outside United States") {$profile_state = " ";}

now open

templates/search_results_detail_mode.html

find:

Code: Select all

{PROFILE_STATE},

remove the , and save the file

Paul

now for the browse feature

open

engine/pages/browse.php

near line 242 find:

Code: Select all

while($profile = f($profiles))
      {

add on the next line:

Code: Select all

if ($profile['country'] == "United States") {$profile['country'] = " ";}
if ($profile['state'] == "Outside United States") { $profile['state']= " ";}

now open

templates/browse_profiles_row.html

find:

Code: Select all

{PROFILE[STATE]},

take out the , and save

Paul

Awesome Paul! You should quit your day job! Maybe WebScribble would hire you and put you in charge of support. OK, I know I'm just dreaming!
