cool, looks great! I look forward to seeing what people come up with.



I am researching the facebook API, I can get things like, list of friends, photos, events and include them on the CKA profile page.

Do many people use facebook?

Only downside, is since facebook is a "register only community" you need to be logged in or have an active session with the facebook site to view the info. So if you weren't logged in, it would ask you to login to facebook to view that persons details.

well im giving up on the facebook API for now, I will try another day. I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I can't get there stupid authentication tokens figured out. So after login anytime you refresh the page it breaks.

But i was able to retrive a list of groups i belong to on facebook and print them on the page, so thats progress.

I did however add a new "facebook" field to the profiles, where you can enter your facebook ID#. It is below the Yahoo and ICQ on the "edit forum profile" page.

If you have entered your facebook ID, your profile will show some facebook links. (profile, poke, photos, add as friend)

I also fixed the MSN image, so when you click on it, it will auto open a chat window.

I like the way you setup the profile page...takes less space on the page now and i think it loads faster too...Looks great also! (at least to me it does)

Profile pages look great. Nice work.

thanks for the comments everyone! Still working on the contributions page, will be done tonight.

I also added a little fun thing, called "Profile Points" that adds +1 point for all the possible things a person can have on there profile. So the more points someone has on there profile, the more "complete" profile they have.

The profile point total is displayed in the bottom right of the profile.

I think the current max is 27 points.

15+ points is a pretty complete profile
20+ points is a CKA Power User

Ooh, the new profile page is far nicer and looks more tidy. Lovin' it. ;D

well its just looks at what profile fields you have filled out and some other things, like if you have a blog, photo gallery and such.

It's just kinda a small incentive for people to fill out there profiles, so they don't look like Banff's

And yes there is +1 for using a "profile header graphic".

Some things you can'e get from filling out your profile, like +1 for rep or +1 for having medals, things like that.

Oh and I just fixed the signatures on the profiles finally, so all the bbcode styling works. That has never worked properly, w00t!

I am done converting the "Contributions" page, here is an example:
http://www.canadaka.net/profiles/Canadaka/contributions

I removed some old lists for things like "news comments" which arn't used anymore, since the news comments are intigrated into the forums now.
Also found some site "sections" that arn't being indexed in this page, so I will try and add them soon.

What happened to the "Points"? I never figured out what they were good for but I had built up quite a few.

whoops forgot to add the points, I did add them on the "contributions" page though.
http://www.canadaka.net/profiles/BluesBud/contributions

Their is still a fracking leak in the points system somewhere though, some people rack up insance points, and its obvious they didn't earn them all from the point guide here:
http://www.canadaka.net/modules.php?name=Groups&op=list

I plan to add a "stats" section to the "contributions" page, that will show totals for all types of content submtted. like total pics submitted, total news links and so on. And from that I can calculate a persons actual amount of points, and not only that but the amount of points since the site begain.

I then could use this total and use it up overwrite whatever the current point total is, kinda a re-syncing everytime that "contributions" page is viewed.

True I have not seen any new ones in some time. It seemed stalled. Maybe somebody has been getting mine. I just thought you had discontinued the system.

well you don't get points from posting in the forums, points are for submitting content to the site, like articles, reviews, jokes, news, pictures. So your points should only go up if you do these things.

Ok this is what I came up with
