This tutorial will show you how to use a pre-made or commissioned user profile code and apply it to your user profile. Knowledge of how to re-arrange a user profile is needed.
Step One
First identify how many columns the profile has and which columns do not display. Subeta labels their columns 1, 2, and 3. With 1 being the left most column, 2 is the center column, and 3 is the right most column. If the creator does not specify which columns appear or not, a good rule of thumb is to start with the left column. So if it is a one column profile move everything that you want to appear on your profile into the left column.
While arranging your profile around, make sure that the Profile module/box is on your profile.
Step Two
While on Subeta, hover over the Personal tab on the main navigation and select User Dashboard from the drop-down menu.
Step Three
Once you are at your dashboard there will be another tab menu. Select Profile from this menu.
Step Four
On this page you will see options to change your name, gender, and email. There will also be a large textarea labeled Profile Text. This is where you will input the code for your new profile.
This textarea allows html so you will need to make sure that when you copy your code in with the <style></style> tags.
When you are ready, copy the code for the profile and paste the code into this textarea and click Submit your Profile.
Then check out your profile to make sure it looks good.
Troubleshooting:
Wrong column(s) show up.
Take note what content shows up. Then clear out the profile code from the textarea in Step Four. Then start back at Step One, switching out the content you don't want for the stuff you do want.
Profile doesn't show up.
Check that you have the <style> tags surrounding the code and that the last tag is </style>
Check that the Profile box is in the column(s) that you wish to have visible.
