Marauders 2.0 Old world looking skin featuring artwork from the Marauders Map from the movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban GPL, credit should be given to JK Rowling and Warner Bros. This is a very old skin and may not be 100% up to date with the current requirements of eFiction. http://sally.lunaescence.com/tag/marauders http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/26126708/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/32942058/ Shinigami Blue 2.0 Dark blue and white themed skin meant to be easily compatible with the upcoming version of eFiction. GPL This skin was based off from the skins on my site, which has been heavily modified to fit our requirements. I believe I have removed all of my custom tags, but I cannot guarantee that. Also, I can't offer any [reliable] support for this skin, nor am I available for commissions. Due to my college schedule, I simply don't have time. http://sally.lunaescence.com/tag/shinigami+blue http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35865734/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35959081/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35960002/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35959638/ Zenlike 2.0 3.0 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. Free to use, so long as the credit in the footer remains intact. 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. Since 3.0 isn’t out yet, this skin may not be entirely up-to-date. I will try to have it updated as soon as possible, but with my college schedule, I can’t make any guarantees. http://sally.lunaescence.com/tag/zenlike http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/26126583/ http://sally.lunaescence.com/project/efiction/version3/zenlike.zip http://sally.lunaescence.com/2006/04/09/raw-files-for-zenlike/ Story Type Mod 2.0 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. You could also change the name of the fuction and use it to add other information. Please make certain you backup your files and database before you begin this mod. This is a fairly large mod, which could potentially cause damage to your site if something goes wrong. I also advise you to read this whole thing before you begin. http://www.lunaescence.com/fics/categories.php?catid=4 http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=1577.0 User Skin in Profile 2.0 This will display the members skin choice in their member profile as a template variable, {userskin} Please be sure to back up your files and database before you try this or any other mod. http://www.lunaescence.com/fics/viewuser.php?uid=35 http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=1386.0 Story Disclaimer 2.07 This mod adds a manditory disclaimer field to every story form. If users do not fill in the disclaimer, they'll receive an error just like if they left the summary or title blank.This mod is as involved as my story type mod, if not a bit moreso, due to the fact that it has to be made manditory. I strongly suggest you read through my instructions before you actually attempt this modification. For this mod, I used files from the latest release. (2.0.7, 28 Aug 2006 patch) The line numbers are all approximate and will likely change as you progress through this mod. Please consider them simply a guide to put you into the general area. This mod is also UNTESTED. In theory it should work, but I have not tested it on my own site. None http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=3834.0 User Gender in Profile 2.06 This mod will put a male, female, or undisclosed icon in the author profile. I'll let you decide if undisclosed means "Not Telling" or just what. It is up to you to provide your own icons. This mod was originally created for JanAQ as part of her requested profile mods. I can't take full credit for this mod, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get it working before I asked for help. Tammy replied and told me how to get it working. Be sure to backup your database and files before you begin this or any other mod. Read the instructions first before attempting this mod. http://www.lunaescence.com/fics/viewuser.php?uid=35 http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=1390.0 View Profile Link 2.06 This will display a "View Profile" link to the user account menu in user.php Please be sure to back up your files and database before you begin this or any other mod. http://www.lunaescence.com/ http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=3151.0 Exclusion Sort 2.04 This mod will add the option to exclude genres from the category listing. This mod is a work in progress and will eventually include characters and warnings too. (And be a bit more sophistocated) I'm doing things a bit differently in this mod and having you mark the changes in order to make updating easier. This way you can tell where you edited and make your updates accordingly. This is how all my files look now, since I've missed portions of previous updates. Please see download page for known bugs. http://www.lunaescence.com/fics/categories.php?catid=4 http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=2966.0 LiveJournal Link in Profile 2.0 This mod will place a link to your user's Live Journal Account in their author bio. I haven't tested this, but it's basically my DA mod with a few things renamed. None http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=1391.0 DeviantArt Link in Profile 2.0 This mod will place a link to your user's Deviant Art Account in their author bio. http://www.lunaescence.com/fics/viewuser.php?uid=35 http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=1136.0 Custom Mailing Group 2.0 This mod allows you to add a custom mailing group to your admin form. Your users must opt in for these e-mails; those who have not checked the opt-in box will not receive e-mails sent using this feature. I use it for a monthly newsletter, but you can customize it for whatever you'd like. I can't claim total credit, since I couldn't figure out how to do the final step in the admin area to add the function to the mail form. (Thanks so much, Tammy!) As with any mod, make sure you create backups of your eFiction install before you attempt this. None http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=1978.0 Split Penname, Contact, and Add to Favorites 2.0 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. As usual, back up your files before you attempt this. You know the drill. :-) http://www.lunaescence.com/fics/viewuser.php?uid=35 http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=1620.0 Logged In Block 2.0 When you're logged in, it returns "Welcome back, $username." and then a list of quick account links below that. I simply put it beside the login tag so they switch places depending on the user's login status. This is actually the first mod I made for 2.0 and it originally went with the Marauders layout. However, when I discovered blocks weren't considered part of the skins, I ended up keeping it for myself. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/lazule/top_links.jpg http://sally.lunaescence.com/project/efiction/version2/blocks/loggedin.zip Logged In Block w/ Profile Link 2.0 When you're logged in, it returns "Welcome back, $username." (with your user name linked to your profile) and then a list of quick account links below that. I simply put it beside the login tag so they switch places depending on the user's login status. This is actually the first mod I made for 2.0 and it originally went with the Marauders layout.

There's no description tag, no image, just the name as a link and the story count. This is the second block mod I made, again for the Marauders layout. You can do the same thing this does by using the proper settings in your variables.php file, but I've been getting the occasional request for this block so I thought I better release it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/lazule/shortcats.jpg http://sally.lunaescence.com/project/efiction/version2/blocks/shortcats.zip Preventing Unwanted HTML 2.0 This quick and dirty mod will strip unwanted HTML content from Summaries, Titles, etc. without modifying your allowed HTML list in your settings. By default, 2.0 allows HTML tags in several fields such as summary, title, and the owner of challenges. However, sometimes users abuse this feature by posting images and other code that may mess up your layout. While I released this as a mod, this is basically nothing but instructions on how to remove the $allowed_tags variable from fields where you don't want HTML used. http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=1727.0 Modifying your User Page 2.0 This is a guide to creating your own modifications to the user page in eFiction 2.0. This includes discussions of PHP, MySQL, and other things you will need to know in order to modify your user page. Another thing to note is that eFiction 3.0 will allow you to add your own custom fields to the user profile without modifying any files. I'll update this guide or release a new one once it is released to explain how to customize your install and how to do further modifications. This guide is also written as though you currently have user.php, viewuser.php, and your database open as you're reading. http://sally.lunaescence.com/project/efiction/version2/mods/user_page_mods.html CSS Tips: Cascade Order 2.07 Just thought I'd share some assorted things I've been learning in my DHTML/XML class. These more or less come from my class notes and textbook. Hopefully this makes sense, I'm tired and not feeling especially great. http://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=3918.0 Version Check 2.06 This is a quick and dirty version check script for eFiction 2.0. It simply shows your currently installed version of eFiction, the current version, and then the release date for the last patch along with any important notes or news relating to that patch. I have to stress that this does not update your copy of eFiction for you. This is just an easier to way to check to see if you need to update. It is still your responsibility to keep your site up-to-date. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/lazule/version_check.jpg http://sally.lunaescence.com/2006/09/07/version-check-mod/ http://sally.lunaescence.com/project/efiction/version2/mods/version_check.zip
