Xekko Community - MyNetwork and other MyBB Plugins and Resources

MyNetwork's Profile System Module is the most anticipated plugin for MyBB to date - the start of a new series of features that extends your forum into the reaches of social networks.


The Profile Module Core is the first in the series - it replicates the MyBB profile and turns it into a network-ready format (which is quite difficult in the default profile). It also extends it to show a user's posts and threads, as well as some more interesting statistics, while being powered by AJAX means fast loading information. So even though it makes your forum's profiles look different, it also adds the basics to extend them even further.

To install the Profile System, upload all the files included in the download to your forum directory. Then, visit the MyNetwork Overview in your forum's ACP (Admin CP -> Quick Access (on the left) -> MyNetwork Overview). If you've uploaded the files correctly, you should see the Profile Module underneath MyNetwork Core. Select 'Install Module' and follow the instructions.


When installed, the Profile Module introduces 22 MyNetwork templates, 1 template group and a stylesheet - profile.css - to every theme currently installed on your forum. It also adds 1 setting group and 6 settings.


The Profile System's settings can be modified in the General Configuration area of your forum's ACP (ACP -> Configuration (tab)) under the 'MyNetwork Profile System' group. The templates and stylesheet is completely customizable, as are the language strings used throughout the new profile.

To uninstall the Profile System, go to MyNetwork's Overview and select the Profile System from the modules list. In the list of tabs, to the right, click 'Uninstall Module' and follow the instructions. This process will remove all of the edits and additions the Module has added (such as stylesheets, templates and settings) - so if you've made your own changes, remember to back them up first just in case you want to go back.


PLEASE NOTE that if you have any Features added into the Module, they will also be removed.


If you're using MyNetwork 1.0, there is a bug in the 'remove_module_directory' class function. This bug prevents you from completely removing a Module from your server - It is fixed in MyNetwork 1.1. It affects the Profile System, so even if you check the box to remove files from your server, it will still say that the Module exists once uninstalled.

There are currently no available Features for the Profile System Module - however, there are some on the way. Statuses, Comments and Activity features are all currently in testing.

Once the Profile System is installed, your forum's profiles are automatically converted to the new style. Just visit a profile to see the changes!


There are several settings you can alter, such as the ability to use MyCode in the bio and how much content to show, through the MyNetwork Profile System Settings group in the ACP's Configuration tab. You can also change the language strings, templates and styles of the profile to whatever you want!

If you are using SEO-Friendly URLs, then you'll need to do a bit of manual editing to your .htaccess file for the Profile System to support these. You can locate the file in the root of your forum - you would have renamed it when setting the friendly URLs up - and you need to make the following adjustments.


In the .htaccess file, find:

RewriteRule ^user-([0-9]+)\.html$ member.php?action=profile&uid=$1 [L,QSA]

Add afterwards:

RewriteRule ^user-([0-9]+)-posts\.html$ member.php?action=profile&uid=$1&view=posts [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^user-([0-9]+)-threads\.html$ member.php?action=profile&uid=$1&view=threads [L,QSA]
