Hello,
so my lovely "boss" thinks that we should have photos and information about our users throughout the site like in the banner ad space - i know it sounds kinda weird, but i can't really say no to her she has her mind set on this.
what she wants is a members photo, name, location, age, and email address to show up - and she wants different ones to showup at the top of the pages throughout the message board in the space where a banner ad would go.
i personally think this will be very strange, but like i said - she doesn't take no for an answer. i have been trying to figure out how this would be possible and while I don't know PHP, I think this might work - please tell me what you think and if it's plausible
Once vB 2.0 comes out, there will be customized fields in the registration so we could have a "picture" field, an "age" field, "location" field, and their username and fields - I am thinking a PHP script could be written to go in the header and will pull a users picture and content from their profile and display it in the banner ad space - every page throughout the site would have a different user and it would constantly change - does this make sense? can this happen?
Like I said, I don't know PHP, but I've done other programming and it seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to achieve (like just a few lines of code)
Can I get some feedback on this?
thanks,
brooke
