What I have in mind with these is creating a page on each person’s site named “Guest Book”, putting it on their menu, and putting a link to it on the user profile.
I will also set the site so that when you click on a user, the profile block comes up first rather than the activity block. The Code to do that is here: (Just so you get an idea of what it takes to make changes to the place)
There will be some manual steps involved, which either the member can do, or I can do for them. Essentially they would have to create the page and put the URL to the page in their profile.
Doing it this way comments added to a person’s profile page will not be included in the activity stream, which would quickly become unreadable if it included chains of Guest Book Comments, and allow everybody to fully customize their own guestbook pages.
Here is how it works: you click on a person’s user name in any post, it takes you to their profile, you click on the link to their Guest Book. Two clicks total.
Done, hopefully correctly, lol. Question, I changed the name of my viccles site, but where do I change the url it’s self to match the site name? Or do I have to delete it all and start over with making a new site with the different site name?
The URL can be changed, it’s a difficult process and has to be done at the server level. Honestly, unless it is a big issue to you I’d just leave it. I will need to enable that forum plugin for you if you want to run a forum, frankly it is probably more trouble than it is worth, I’d just set up a guest book page instead, which you need anyway. If you want to play with the forum here I can elevate your account rights to that so you can get to the back end.
If you really want to change that URL I’d probably just create a new site with the URL you want and export everything you have on the current one, it would be safer then manhandling the database.
Actually it looks like I can do that as network admin. I’ll take a look tomorrow when I’m not groggy. As groggy anyway…
Don’t worry about it if it’s too much work, I don’t have much there and can just delete it and start over with the correct title and url.
It has been taken care of
