Myspace Profile 2.0 = ?? Options

[aym]

Hi!

So everything sounds great and nice and everything but
how can I use my "DIV Overlay Layout" over the "2.0"????

It seems that the news of TOM is brandnew...

For the profile editor 2.0, You cannot use ANY Html.

[allvanishing]

It makes the main part pretty useless now when myspace phases out the old profile one day.
It just makes layout coding harder but it still works.

[brooklyneast05]

It makes CreateBlog pretty useless now...

1. not for all the people who don't switch over to 2.0, which i'm sure will be a lot considering it's not mandatory to switch.

2. not when we start submitting 2.0 layouts.

3. it doesn't make our support sections useless, since it will still be answering questions. it just makes it even more useful. plus our support isn't limited to myspace in the first place.

4. we provide more layouts than just myspace layouts

5. it doesn't effect our tutorials or graphics sections at all.

I despise 2.0
I'm up for change just as long as it doesn't suck.


Ugh.

[mygmcdonald]

I think the new 2.o is extremly gay cause you cant have your own layout!

[Jamesisgsnap]

Eh, It has a tacky look.
I like the old way better though

[allvanishing]

It could use a few tweaks but mostly it looks ok, a bit more modern.

[brooklyneast05]

seriously.

i don't get why everyone is crying when this isn't even mandatory that you switch over in the first place.

[allvanishing]

I just submitted a layout for Profile 2.0 just to show you can code with the new Profile. Here it is.

Just wait for the new layouts for it.

so, your layout will work even when you go to:
-CUSTOMIZE
-CSS TAB

then just input it in there?

well i'm not going to stop using cb...i like it here, the codes are awesome, the graphics are really good..and the help is phenomenal!

so whoever thinks that people are going to stop using cb, then thats a mistake because once and a while they are going to need some help with the new myspace and every other common problem..

You can still use html
all divs and layouts wont work
but some will
you put it in the css box when you go to customize

[fixtatik]

honestly, i think 2.0 is going to make things 10x easier for designers and divs. everything on the profile uses classes instead of ids, so poorly developed "hide all codes" won't be necessary anymore. not only that, but 2.0 uses divs instead of tables. CSS floats will come in handy here.

[allvanishing]

^ You can also use the number sign (#) now.
Never mind it doesn't work anymore.

[allvanishing]

I can't get background color to work in any browser on Myspace... grr

[Jghelfi]

heres an easier way to hide everything (not including the Nav)
- Customize
- then MODULES, when you are there just X out everything, then use this code to hide the INFO box left over..

CODE

.bft {Hides your Info Box do not remove!}
div.basicInfoModule, {display: none;}

[AndreaSkywalker]

Does anybody know how to "steal" layouts from the 2.0's?
I've been trying for about 45 minutes and I was informed that I could possibly be helped here. :)

[ChaoticHeartCras...]

To use colors for backgrounds or anything else you have to use RGB values instead of hex codes

[allvanishing]

I always have been using hex colors, it works for everything still except the background-color. Might just be my cache though.

[aym]

seriously.

i don't get why everyone is crying when this isn't even mandatory that you switch over in the first place.

Well, I just read that TimTamTom said something of MySpaces builds-up faster because
of the new code etc. though I thought nothing would be wrong with that?! :)

[Mickey]

^Sorry, what?

[fixtatik]

i just read tom's profile 2.0 update, and it looks like the # symbol is going to be able to be used in the near future. that's why hex colors aren't working, because people are used to using border-color:000000; or something similar. once myspace fixes the pound symbol glitch, to use hex colors instead of rgb, you'll have to use border-color:#000000; or you can do it with shorthand, as border:1px solid #000000;

[allvanishing]

fixtatik and Anarchy, I should of updated, but the # sign and background color started to work again about a week ago. Was myspace's problem.

But !important is being filtered out now. I can't hide the nav or its blue bg.

[Mickey]

^You can't hide the nav/blue background on the 1.0 page or the 2.0 version?

[ChaoticHeartCras...]

You can hide the background on the nav as well as get rid of different segments if you want on 2.0.

I've almost got mine completely customized and shruken down to the size I want it.

You just have to look for ways around different filters.

[Mickey]

Yeah, and this tutorial would definitely help a lot.

[Jenni]

i dont like the new one i just use the regular one wich is all html because that i find more easier for me

[Mickey]

^It's always easier to stick with what you already have because you've been so used to it for so long. But y'know, the new version is actually a lot easier to work around than you'd think.

Hopefully this hasn't been covered elsewhere, but this was the only relevant thread I found.

http://developer.myspace.com/Community/forums/t/6291.aspx

I'm very curious as to why Myspace so severely hobbled developers when it comes to CSS? Is there any valid excuse for it? Any reasonable justification?

I would like to see some pressure put on Myspace to make the 2.0 Profiles a little less ... well, crappy to be honest, when it comes to themeability.

They are forcing developers to stick with the old 1.0 themes to be able to really customize them for different browsers etc. And who knows how long the 1.0 themes are going to be supported?

The link above is my thread on the Myspace developer forum where I posted about this issue. You'll see there that Myspace isn't being very helpful when it comes to getting questions answered about the issue.

[allvanishing]

Try to use more specific names to style the !important things, for example, div#module instead of #module. It works for me.

I just recently stumbled across this tut for 2.0 divs. Thouht it would be helpful.

um Mike, what you had said earlier about viewing the source code..

it doesnt show the attributes used to customize the layout..

it only shows the coding that was used to make the layout.. like the names and other stuff about the modules..

[fixtatik]

^ the styles you use on your own profile is the last CSS document in that list. it does need your friend ID to work, though.

[fixtatik]

yeah, but you know some of the people here. just thought i'd mention it so they wouldn't ask 20 questions about why it won't work. ;)
