FACTION ASSETS AND BONUSESSometimes, you just need a little help from your friends in high places. Each faction is more than just the sum of its individual members. As a whole, they are capable of providing potentially powerful support to one or more members both in the heat of battle and out of it. These Faction Assets and Bonuses are not easy to get one’s hands on, but once you earn them, they can be very effective when used properly.

HEX HAMMER: REQUISITIONSIt's time to call down the thunder. High Command understands that Operation: Hex Hammer is not an easy mission to accomplish. As such, they have reserved a portion of the Expeditionary Force’s substantial resources and assets for the use of Volunteers. However, this is no free lunch, and these special assets must be earned. Any Volunteer attempting to use these Requisitions must prove they have aided the Expeditionary Force, by completing missions. Requisitions are special privileges granted by collecting sufficient Requisition Points (RP) in the service of Hex Hammer. Each unique Requisition can only be activated once per thread, but some can be used multiple times per activation. Earn RP by performing special Hex Hammer Missions! As you complete missions and accumulate Requisition Points, your Standing within the Expeditionary Force grows. More powerful Requisitions require higher Standing to use. Using Requisitions spends RP. However, your Standing is determined by your Total Requisition Points earned over your character’s career. REQUISITIONS LIST

KAMIHAMA MAGIA UNION: COMPANION ABILITIESYou've already made a Contract with them. Consider this after-sales service. Upon joining the Kamihama Magia Union, a Wishmaker is issued a personal Companion, typically the one responsible for making their contract. This specific instance of a Companion is assigned a number of backup copies by the Kyu Continuum. It is then given a small degree of self-identity partially independent from the Companion Overseer upon which they were based. Though their names are tentatively the same, it becomes possible for them to form a unique Bond with their Wishmaker. Bond Points are earned by completing Union Missions. As you accumulate BP, your Bond Level with your Companion increases, allowing them to become more useful to you in battle by using Companion Abilities. Companion Abilities employ the incredible magical powers of the Kyu Continuum, and are fueled by their collective reserves of Grief Seed Energy. As a result of this, you must repay the equivalent amount of energy spent in the form of Griefbucks from your personal Seed Fund account. Each unique Companion Ability can only be activated once per thread, although some can be used multiple times after their initial activation. The tier and number of unique Companion Abilities activated per thread depend on your Bond Level. COMPANION ABILITIES LIST

Welcome to the help dialog for the Custom Mini-Profile Creator plugin!
Click on any of the tabs above to go through the plugin configuration process!
You can access this menu at any time by clicking on the
icon in the bottom right bar (may not be applicable if you're on Forums.net), or you can disable the welcome window and/or the icon by going to
Plugins > Manage > Custom Mini-Profile Creator and changing the
Show Help option.
This step is essential as it gives the plugin everything it needs on the page to get as much profile information as possible.
To make the profile variables work you'll need to add a new line to the very end of
Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile and paste the code below on it. The code should be placed completely outside of the mini-profile, so if you're using the default mini-profile template this will be after the very last closing
</div> tag.
This needs to be done on every theme you have the plugin enabled on as the template is theme-specific.
If your mini-profile template is already customized and you've hit the variable limit for your template you're free to remove any lines from the code below if they contain information that you don't plan on using. For example, if you have no plans to ever add a user's IP to their mini-profile for staff reference you can remove
<div class="mp-info ip">$[user.ip]</div> from the code and everything else will still work just fine.
Click to show example
Once you've added the HTML from the Layout Templates tab you're ready to move on to building your mini-profiles. If you want to get going and try some out now or you're not very adept at HTML, CSS, or Javascript, worry not! This plugin includes some examples for you to try out. You're free to skip to the Custom Profile Fields tab and read over this tab later when you're ready to build your own.
Here's a quick rundown of each of the components in Plugins > Manage > Custom Mini-Profile Creator:
Name
This is the name you'll be adding to your custom profile field dropdown once you've finished coding the mini-profile. Pretty self-explanatory. Make sure this name is unique from every other name you use for your mini-profiles or you'll end up overwriting the earlier ones in the list.
HTML
This is the HTML that will go inside your mini-profile. You can use just about any HTML tag here so long as it's appropriate for where the mini-profile is showing on the page. Please refrain from using <style> or <script> tags here. You have the next two sections for that! Also, remember that mini-profiles can show multiple times on the same page, so you shouldn't add ID attributes to any of your elements here. Two elements on the same page cannot have the same ID per HTML standards.
CSS
This is where you'll place what would normally go in your forum's style sheet or what would normally be between <style> tags. Try to code your mini-profile's HTML in a way that will allow you to target it specifically with your selectors. For example, you can surround all of the content in your HTML with a <div> element with a class and target that class and its child elements specifically with your CSS. That way you don't accidentally target every mini-profile on the page with CSS that was meant for the one you're building. One more thing: The forum theme's CSS still applies beforehand, so your mini-profile may look right in one theme but not in another. The best way to circumvent this is to define as many styles as you can to override the theme's CSS.
Javascript
Anything that normally goes between <script> tags will go here. This one's a bit tricky since you'll obviously want to target the custom mini-profile specifically. Luckily there's an easy way to do that. In your statements you can use the $(this) variable to target the mini-profile if you're coding using jQuery. Otherwise, if you only plan on using standard Javascript you can target $(this)[0] instead.
Once you've finished building your mini-profiles it's finally time to add them to the Edit Profile page for use! To enable selection of custom mini-profiles you'll first need to add two specific custom profile fields in
Members > Custom Profile Fields in your forum's admin area:
- Mini-Profile Theme
- Staff Mini-Profile Theme
Mini-Profile Theme is for mini-profiles that are designed for member use. You can set the Who Can Edit option for this field to
Staff With Power if you only want staff to be able to choose mini-profiles for users. Otherwise, if you want members to freely be able to choose their own mini-profiles you can choose
Members and Staff With Power.
Staff Mini-Profile Theme is for mini-profiles designed specifically for staff use. This field is completely optional.
Set the type for both of these fields as
Drop Down Selection. Click on the
(View/Edit) link to add mini-profile names to each of these fields.
If you've just installed this plugin you should have three different mini-profiles already installed by default:
Example 1,
Example 2, and
Example 3. You can add these to your dropdowns to test them out and see the plugin in action.
Click to show example
If you're having trouble getting this plugin to work despite following the instructions in the previous tabs you may want to check that each of your themes meets the prerequisites below in
Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile.
First, ensure that opening tag of your mini-profile template includes the
$[miniprofile_class] variable in its class. On the default ProBoards theme it should look something like this:
<div class="$[miniprofile_class]">
Next, make sure that the default
{foreach} loop for custom fields is present inside your mini-profile. It doesn't need to be visible, so you're free to add it inside a hidden element if you don't plan on displaying it or if it would mess up the appearance of your own custom template.
{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
<br /><span class="$[user.mini_custom_field.content_class]">$[user.mini_custom_field.name]: $[user.mini_custom_field.value]</span>
{/foreach}
Beyond that you can do whatever you like to the mini-profile template for the most part and it shouldn't negatively impact the plugin.
The following is a list of available variables for use in the HTML section of the mini-profile creator and their definitions. Adding any of these to a mini-profile will generate the content described in its definition in place of the variable so long as the information that variable outputs is visible to you.
To reference your forum's custom profile fields you can use
$[user.customfieldname], substituting "customfieldname" with your custom field's name. You'll need to type the name in all lowercase with no spaces and only use characters A-Z and 0-9.
For example,
Mini-Profile Theme becomes
$[user.miniprofiletheme]. This will output the value of the custom field. In the case of this example, it'll be the name of the mini-profile theme you've chosen in your profile.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These will only work if you followed the steps in the Installation tab of this window on each of your themes. Any themes that do not include the template code specified there will not have these variables replaced in the mini-profile.

You can utilize the
$(this) variable in the Javascript component to target the mini-profile
<div> element. For example, if you wanted to add a class to the mini-profile you can use:
$(this).addClass('class-name-here');
Profile variables can also be used in the Javascript component in this plugin. In Javascript the value
undefined is used to signify that a value doesn't exist for the variable you've specified. With this in mind you can use profile variables in Javascript conditional statements within the plugin similar to how they're used in the actual layout templates section of the admin area.
- if(variable) will only run if the variable you specify has a value.
- if(!variable) will only run if the variable you specify has no value.
Example 1 (variable has value):
if(user.group){
$(this).find('.group').show();
}
If the user has their group displayed in their profile the above Javascript would make the HTML below visible if you had it hidden with CSS.
<div class="group">$[user.group.name]<br />$[user.group.stars]</div>
Example 2 (variable has no value):
if(!user.gender){
$(this).find('.gender').hide();
}
If the user's gender isn't visible the above Javascript would hide the gender icon generated by the HTML with the "gender" class below.
<div class="gender">$[user.gender.image]</div>
