(Help) Hide custom profile link

You're going to have to be more specific than that.  What did you try with the codeblocks?  Are you using the standard betareader profile  field or are you creating a custom field of your own?

I'm sorry, Tammy.

This is an entirely custom module.  I created a table called fanfiction_beta that contains all information regarding beta readers.  It contains the user's uid, status, categories, a couple text fields, a keywords field, and then some other settings that control a bulleted list of the things they're willing to check for.

Status is the field I'm using to determine whether the profile appears or not.  It has three settings:

0 = Default; Off / Not a beta reader
1 = Beta Reader
2 = On Hiatus

The display panel works, and I'm still working on the otherresults and the form.  All that's left to create is the listing and the link in the profiles.  The other results link is up, but since I don't have the listing page done, it doesn't point to the right place yet.

I thought authorof.php in challenges was being called in the profile for the links, but now I'm getting the feeling I was wrong.  Anyway, I created a file called /modules/betas/authorof.php and added it to the codeblocks table.

fanfiction_codeblocks:
code_id: 9
code_text: include(_BASEDIR."modules/betas/authorof.php");
code_type: AO
code_module: betas

I then put this in it:

if(!defined("_CHARSET")) exit( );

if(file_exists(_BASEDIR."modules/betas/languages/{$language}.php")) 
include_once(_BASEDIR."modules/betas/languages/{$language}.php"); 
else include_once(_BASEDIR."modules/betas/languages/en.php");

$betaquery = dbquery("SELECT status FROM ".$tableprefix."fanfiction_beta WHERE uid = $uid");
list($betastatus) = dbrow($betaquery);

if($betastatus >= "1") {
$tpl->assign("betaprofile", "<a href="'".$thislink."action=beta'>"._BETAREADER."</a>";"
}
else {
$tpl->assign("betaprofile","");
}

(If anyone goes exploring, stay out of my challenges for now.  Marohi isn't done there and some pages spit out miles of errors.)

The AO code_type builds the "Author of" list in the user's Statistics page.  For example:

http://sgxover.hugosnebula.com/viewuser.php?action=stats&uid=1

You want to create the "tab" link to the user's page? (ie "Author Profile", "Contact", etc.)  Or are you wanting to add the link in the profile area up with "Gender", "Bio", etc.

If you want the "tab" all you need to do is add the Beta Profile to the panels as a profile panel. 

If you want the link you seem to have it except you need to make it a custom profile field.  I think you should be good if you give it name, title, enable it, use custom code as the type, leave the form code blank, and enter your code in the profile code section.

OH, okay.  I didn't realize that was for the statistics page.

I wanted to create a tab, but hide it if they weren't a beta reader.  But since all I'm doing is creating a link, I could probably get away with it as a custom profile field.

Thanks so much!  I hope I'm not getting too annoying here.

I haven't gotten around to updating the "tabs" section so you can add codeblocks to it so you can do what you want.  It's on the "To Do" list for a future release.

That would definitely be useful.  Hopefully by then I can help more.  I feel guilty that I wasn't able to really help at all for 3.0
