Description: This allows for separate display of author penname, contact link, and the add author to favorites link in user.tpl.

This is just an itty bitty mod I cooked up for my own site. I figured I might as well slap it up here.

As usual, back up your files before you attempt this. You know the drill. ^_^

Requirements: eFiction 2.0

Difficulty: Easy

Modification History:
- 30 November, 2005 — Mod released

Files Involved:

• viewuser.php
• skins/YOURSKIN/user.tpl

Modification & Support: eFiction.org

Instructions:

Description: This mod allows users to declare what type of story their writing is. This is especially useful for fan fiction archives where you might be dealing with Songfics, One-Shots, Drabbles, CYOA, or RIs.

I have this installed now on my main eFiction site, if you’d like to see a demo.

Please make certain you backup your files and database before you begin this mod. This is a fairly large and complex mod, which could potentially cause damage to your site if something goes wrong. I also advise you to read the whole thing before you begin.

EDIT: 22 March, 2007 — For those new to eFiction, I would strongly ask you to consider upgrading to eFiction 3.0 instead of downloading this mod. It’s much easier to add new classifications such as story type and doesn’t require you to edit the core files.

Description: This mod will place a link to your user’s Live Journal Account in their author bio.

This mod assumes that your users do not have an underscore or dash at the beginning or end of their name, so you may wish to warn them.

As always my line numbers are approximate and meant to put you in the general ballpark. They will likely change as you progress through the mod.

License: Free to use, so long as the credit in the footer remains intact.

Feel free to edit, modify, or alter this skin in any way. Doing so will not offend, upset, or bother me in any way. All I ask is that you please keep the footer crediting the photographer and brush artist intact unless you completely remove that part of the header graphic.

Description: Zenlike is a slightly oriental themed skin colored white and pale green. This is a very lightweight skin that uses NO custom header graphics. Everything is based on CSS text, font, and background effects.

NOTICE: I am no longer interested in continuing to support Marauders. It’s old, uses techniques I’d never use today, and contains copyrighted images. There will be no further updates made to this skin.

Skin Name: Marauders

Feel free to edit, modify, or alter my skins. Doing so will not offend, upset, or bother me in any way. In fact, all I care about is that you correctly credit the people whose material I may have used (if applicable). I, myself, don’t need any credit.
