Testing MVP code

**brad jones** · Jan 23rd, 2007, 05:19 PM

Added new tag. You should only use this (MVP) tag if you have an agreement with Microsoft to use it (otherwise, you are violating their copyright on the graphic).

Brad!

**szlamany** · Jan 23rd, 2007, 07:29 PM

Thanks Brad - I'll change it tomorrow morning (been a long day here!)

**techgnome** · Jan 23rd, 2007, 09:49 PM

So, what is the new tag? [mvp] ? apparently not.... :mvp: ? nope, not that either....*stumbles around in the dark*

*CRASH!*

I'll give you a clue.. to get the auto-formatted text "Internet.com" (the JM tag) you need to use something like this: [jm]a[/jm]

**brad jones** · Jan 24th, 2007, 09:08 AM

actually, there is an issue with the tag right now. I'm not sure what happened to it. If you see the MVP logo in the first post of this thread, then it is likely fixed....

Brad!

**brad jones** · Jan 24th, 2007, 09:09 AM

hmmm.... there might be an issue with our using multiple servers.... I'm looking into this.

Brad!

**szlamany** · Jan 24th, 2007, 03:42 PM

Brad - I though you were talking about the MVP image - apparently yours comes from a link that's not working right now?

What are you trying to do for us here?

[edit] Actually now it is. Brad is there a reason that the MVP image in this thread sometimes appears as a [X] picture box and other times appears properly?

And that sir, is a good question. I think it has to do with a server being out of sync with the others. There are a couple of other codes that seem to fluxuate a bit too. I'm going to have to get an admin to look into this to see if they can figure out why the link breaks sometimes. (x is an indicator for a broken image link)

Brad!

**szlamany** · Jan 24th, 2007, 03:55 PM

Ok - thanks for that answer...

Now what exactly is the use of the new (MVP)xxx(/MVP) tag?

What would you like us to do with it?"

You don't have to do anything with it

.

I added it to Codeguru, so I also added it here. On Codeguru, the IMG tag is disabled in the signatures, so the image you have in your signature is not possible there. By creating a vBulletin Code, people there will be able to use the MVP tag in their signature and thus be able to at least display the MVP image in their sig.

Brad!

**szlamany** · Jan 24th, 2007, 04:10 PM

Nice to see you are being thorough and consistent

Was there a reason for the "something here that will be hidden" comment?

**brad jones** · Jan 24th, 2007, 04:24 PM

Because you have to put text between the tag or the tag will be ignored. With the MVP tag, the text between the open and closing tag is ignored. I guess I could put that text to the side of the image or something...

Brad!

**RhinoBull** · Jan 24th, 2007, 05:57 PM

It's nice to see that it's working.

Thanks Brad.

**szlamany** · Jan 24th, 2007, 06:06 PM

Not really...

[edit] - but of course after I posted this it did work!

**szlamany** · Jan 24th, 2007, 06:08 PM

Brad - when I get the e-mail notification - and click it from outlook - it's this link:

http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...42#post2759942

and that link does not work - it shows the [x]

[edit] After I posted this - the link was

http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...47#post2759947

and of course I can see the image now.

Probably doesn't help - but at least I can duplicate the problem that way.

**brad jones** · Jan 24th, 2007, 08:34 PM

I believe the issue is that our program for replicating images across all the servers is missing a server. That would cause the image to randomly not show up (be broken) even though the URL remains the same. Rather than forcing this image to be correct on all servers, I'm leaving it for our developers to take a look at to see if we can fix the problem for good.

Once I know it is fixed, I'll post something. Until then, the image may randomly break.

This will get fixed though

Brad!

**Merrion** · Jan 25th, 2007, 09:20 AM

You could put the MVP id in the tag and thus have the image link to the user MVP homepage?
e.g.
[ MVP id="34440"]

</feature creep>

**szlamany** · Jan 25th, 2007, 09:36 AM

It is against the rules of use to have the image be clickable and go anywhere...

**brad jones** · Jan 25th, 2007, 09:38 AM

okay - so I need to read the rules. I'll see if I can get permission to use the link to a profile....

Brad!

**brad jones** · Jan 25th, 2007, 10:02 AM

I stole szlamany's format:

MVP

You have to use the value in the MVP profile URL, not your ID number (which you should probably keep somewhat confidential).

So for my icon above, I'd link to https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/profile=AE1FAEA9-FCC0-495C-86F1-0528CD261FA9]

by using:

[MVP=AE1FAEA9-FCC0-495C-86F1-0528CD261FA9]abc[/MVP]

Brad!

**szlamany** · Jan 25th, 2007, 10:07 AM

Robdog e-mailed me this rule last January - not sure where he got it from...

Web Sites The Microsoft MVP logo may be used as one- color or full color in Web sites. Please use the .PNG files for Web site application. The logo must not be larger than your company logo. If you choose to assign a hyperlink to the MVP logo on a Web site, the URL needs to point to http://mvp. support.microsoft.com/default.aspx.

That was why I "undid" the hyperlink in my logo and added MVP as a token next to it...

**brad jones** · Jan 25th, 2007, 10:23 AM

I'm asking one of the leads for clarification or permission on the linking. Let's see what they say later today (they are on Pacific time so it is still early there). I'd be a bit surprised if you couldn't link it to your profile page on the MVP site....

Brad!

**Merrion** · Jan 25th, 2007, 11:16 AM

Cool. Incidentally are we going to have a VBForums / CodeGuru drink session at the summit?

I think somewhere I said something about buying one drink for everyone (from VBF & CG). Of course, you'll have to take a small sip before passing it along, so that there is enough for everyone....

Brad!

**techgnome** · Jan 25th, 2007, 12:07 PM

Probably the same place I did.... it's stated in the AUP for the Logo.... not sure why it is that way, but that's how it is. You can link all the text you want.... just not the image... seems counter intuitive.

**szlamany** · Jan 25th, 2007, 12:10 PM

I can see their point of view.

It's their logo - their image - and it's all about the program itself. Not about the individual.

That would be my guess anyway...

My guess would be that they don't want you linking it to your own personal web site that might not represent them in the best light. I'll be surprised if they say we can't actually link to an MVP profile on their (the MVP) site. Let's wait and see what they say.

Brad!

**brad jones** · Feb 2nd, 2007, 04:23 PM

You can set the boolean flag:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Dim blnOkToMove As Boolean
[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Dim blnOkToMove As Boolean kkk[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Red]Dim blnOkToMove As Boolean[/COLOR]
Dim blnOkToMove As Boolean
Private Sub Form_Load()
    blnOkToMove = False
    [COLOR=Red]blnOkToMove = False[/COLOR]
    blnOkToMove = False
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub mnuFileList_Click(Index As Integer)
    If Index = 1 Then
        CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
        Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture(CommonDialog1.FileName)
        blnOkToMove = True
        [COLOR=Red]blnOkToMove = True[/COLOR]
        blnOkToMove = True
    ElseIf Index = 2 Then
        Unload Me
    End If
End Sub
 
Private Sub picture1_mousemove(button As Integer, shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    If Not blnOkToMove Then Exit Sub
    [COLOR=Red]If Not blnOkToMove Then Exit Sub[/COLOR]
    If Not blnOkToMove Then Exit Sub
    Text5.Text = X
    Text6.Text = Y
End Sub

I'm guessing this code was meant for a different answer?

This is the testing forum. The code is not relevant. I was testing an issue with the formatting that had been pointed out.
