Smart-Thinker UserProfile 4.3.11 Released
By Rodney Joyce @ 9:23 PM :: 209 Views :: 0 Comments ::

The new version of the UserProfile module mainly has SEO enhancements and bugfixes. Before upgrading, please read this post about the CSS changes and what you need to do. This version is neccessary if you are using the Wall module 4.3.2

You can see it in action on PokerDIY (feel free to set up an account to test) or you can download a trial version here.

 

Enhancements

    New Setting on Profile Detail to optionally set the browser title/description/keywords to the Display Name or to append it to the current ones for SEO and visual effect
    Enabled "Invite To Event" functionality on Profile page (for Events 4.3.7)   
    Default Template now loads in Profile Setting to avoid confusion when initialised
    New Token [PROFILEIMAGESMALL], used for list views to display the profile image at 50*50   
    New Token [COUNTRYFLAG], which displays the flag for any Country of Location (For EventDetail and Event Guests). This will be rolled out across all modules that supports a location (e.g. Event/Wall and Group Country)   
    Random Profile Images assigned if a user has not yet set up their profile and their profile is viewed. You can add unlimited pics to: "\Portals\_default\Smart-Thinker\Images\RandomProfilePics" which are subjected to the resizing code.
