Ok, so I have a bunch of random questions
So here goes.

1) On the navigation bar which lists [search, member list, calender, help] How can I add a portal link as well as other links in general to the top navigation bar?

2) I'm currently hosting member's blogs powered by wordpress on my forum, since there isn't a blog mod here. So I was wondering, is there any code mofication that I can do so that, a member can list their blogs in their profiles, and hence show up under ever post that the member does.
for example, member lists website they own.
Its in their profile, as well as there is a button 'www" under every post.
I'll most likely have to create a button for a blog, but how do I modify the code to add this in?

3) Can I do the same in the buddy list?
As in, members who added a website, and a blog, that option can be listed in the buddy list?

4) Is there any modification like a friend mod? In which you can add a member as your friend and their avatars can show up in the profile? Along with comments they may make to you?

Hmm
Thanks a bunch
hey

You may create ur buttons, and actually i dont know how word press works, but u really need a link for each !! you can add a custom profile field called My Blogs or something, where they can enter their blog url.
the button that appears below each post should also used the custom profile field but let's modify that a little

in the template manager > post bit template > postbit

find
$post[button_email]

just beside it add

<a href="http://$post[fid3]" ><img src="hh.gif" /></a>


let me explain all that. fid3 is actually cuton profile field ID !! when you create a new one, you can see it in the custom profile fields list just change fid3 to fid4 or 5 , whatever is ur number!

now this will display a cutom image with a custom link leading to the entry the blogger put it in his custom profile field. now take this note! please dont include http:// when u put ur link when u edit ur profile field. just start with www. or whatever it is.

there is yet nothing for these

you lost me on the post bit section.

this is what I want
when a user signs up they list certain things, email websites blah., can there be an option also for them to list blogs?

in addition to that, when they post on the forum, a button comes up with "blog"

i edited the postbit... but then my icons became 'dashes' --> |
email, websites , location, etc... all these are profile fields.
and i have mentioned that u will need to add a custom profile field, so that users put their blogs page link.
if you want that in the signup process, then when creating that custom field, consider it as REQUIRED. however this will not let the user signup without providing a link for his blogs page.

listing blogs within mybb system isn't possible by default. if that's what ur intenting to have.

for the postbit thingy .umm i didn't know what u excatly mean, as i have rechecked the code i have provided and the image appears correctly.
