Put a {debug} in the template where you want to use them, see if they are there already.

"{debug}"

Look for something like profile_influences.

This is the code for influences from the Elastic skin -
        {if !jrCore_is_mobile_device() && isset($profile_influences) && strlen($profile_influences) > 0}
            <div class="block">
                <h3>{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="47" default="Influences"}</h3>
                <div class="block_content mt10">
                    <div style="padding-top:8px;">
                        <span class="highlight-txt bold">{$profile_influences}</span><br>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        {/if}

Maybe insert that somewhere in the Ningja profile_sidebar.tpl template?

Actually, I've now added this to the Ningja skin and will get it released shortly.

This would be for an artist or band, their influences.

Just install the 'Find New Music' module and it should all just happen ;-)

The above module 'injects' an 'Influences' field into the Update Profile form. When filled in and saved, its content can be shown on the profile pages, and a search form placed on the index page, say (some skins do this automatically if the module is detected). Its actually geared to 'Find New Music' so if you searched for 'Grateful Dead' it would return all artists that think they sound like them!! But the module language strings could be changed so as to make it an 'influences' search and field.

Ok, but I don't need the search/'soundslike' aspect of that. Which of the above two approaches would you suggest Paul if all I want to do is add a place in a member's account settings where they themselves could fill in "Music/musicians I was inpsired by" box, save it, and have that then show in their profile page sidebar under say "My musical influences"?

Its probably best just to add a profile_influences field to the profile update form using the Form Designer, then, to the profile_sidebar.tpl template, add something like -

        {if isset($profile_influences) && strlen($profile_influences) > 0}
            <div class="block">
                <h3>Influences</h3>
                <div class="block_content mt10">
                    <div style="padding-top:8px;">
                        <span class="highlight-txt bold">{$profile_influences}</span><br>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        {/if}

I guess the language index is wrong for the skin you are using. Make sure the id in {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="49" default="Influences"} lines up with the 'Influences' id in the skin language file. Add it in if necessary then run the Integriry Check.

Paul, wouldn't changing 'forum' to influences' in his skin language file then put the word 'influences' in other places where he might be wanting 'forum' to show? And I don't think we have the ability to actually ADD new entries to our Language files.
Perhaps instead just eliminate the reference to the language file altogether, would this work?:
             <div class="block">
                <h3>Influences</h3>
                <div class="block_content mt10">

edit: um, did you just change the code in your previous post to eliminate the lang file reference #49, at the same time I was posting...? Or am I losing my mind?? =8-o

"Its probably best just to add a profile_influences field to the profile update form using the Form Designer"...

Paul, you may recall that the 'Form Design' function is my worst nemesis. It's like some vaporous ghost I can never locate. Would you kindly point me to exactly how/where the heck I can FIND this "profile update Form" in order to add the field? I can never find my way to the form design areas!!
I swear I'll write it down carefully this time! ;)
