k, I've spent hours trying to get the users profile page to look like I want it and mostly just broken things, and have had to try one thing at a time then undo it..
I have looked at the Profile edit forum posts and have read the responses, and it still makes no sense to me.
Too many of the answers assume programmer level knowledge, or CB level skills that far exceed mine.
I just feel stupid.
I yearn for the WYSIWYG days of FrontPage where I could put stuff where I wanted it by dragging it there.
I have done some very basic html hand coding of pages (decades ago) for very simple things, but now, everything is waaaaay to interconnected with this module, this plugin, the template, the css, etc...etc, with little or NO direct editing of components themselves, only the thing that references them.
At any rate, enough griping...
I have the CB "Default Template" in plugin management, for the "profile' set to the new "industrial?" and still I cannot seem to place anything where I want it, and now I'm just making it worse.
So here's a Pic of what I have, with explanation of what I want it to look like.
I tried to put it in line, but that just translated to a butt load of text... sigh... second attempt with file attached.
1 (red on the pic). on the profile page that the user sees do not show the login or menu (I solved the menu placement- moved it to the navigations "section" buried in the menu module, CB section (sigh)... and Stopped the Login 'module' from showing up on the profile page. BUT the empty column is still there.
2. (green text at the top of the pic,) Change menu from vertical to horizontal... for the life of me.....
3.(Blue Box on the pic) I want to call it the user album management section I'd like to move this below everything else.
4. (Pink Box) Move the users Photo with name to the top of the profile
5. (neon green box) Why is this here and can I get rid of it? or move the 'Tab" to be beside the other 'Tabs' (is it a tab? and why isn't it in the tabs section?)
6. (light brown box) this is the meat and potatoes of the users profile...This is the info that really matters.
I have a tonne of fields in 5 tabs that we have users fill in (as much or as little as they like - only a few in each group 'or tab' are 'required')
I'd like this to span the width of the page, with two or more columns so that users are not scrolling for days (current single column layout)
Thanks all..
Be gentle, my brain already hurts.
