User Control Panel Widget

Hi I was looking in the Hints and Tips section and came across how to create a User Control Panel widget. I would really like to try it, but it says to select 'Add custom block'. I can't see this anywhere in my Admin Panel.

Could I have some help on where I need to look. Many thanks.

Oh I was also reading about adding ranks, and it still mentions using Tiny Pics to upload a picture and get the URL from to copy it.

hello

the tutorial is old 'Add custom block' is "create a widget"

thanks tutorial fixed !

Thanks @skouliki.

I tried adding the code into the widget source replacing the URL_GOES_HERE with my forum name but it didn't work properly. Am I supposed to remove the forward slash / after URL_GOES_HERE or the quote marks before it as well " ?

Thanks

paste here the code you insert

Sorry I can't see where to add the proper thing to put my code in but I am using this below added to widget source:

<TABLE border=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD align=left><p><IMG alt="" src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/rokey/smooth-metal/16/administrative-tools-icon.png"><STRONG> Your profile</STRONG> </p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/profile.forum?mode=editprofile" target=_blank>Information</A></p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/profile.forum?mode=editprofile&amp;page_profil=preferences" target=_blank>Preference</A></p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/profile.forum?mode=editprofile&amp;page_profil=signature" target=_blank>Signature</A></p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/profile.forum?mode=editprofile&amp;page_profil=avatars" target=_blank>Avatar</A></p></TD></TR><TR><TD align=left><p><IMG alt="" src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/everaldo/crystal-clear/16/App-wallet-leather-icon.png"><STRONG> Social</STRONG></p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/profile.forum?mode=editprofile&amp;page_profil=friendsfoes" target=_blank>Friends and Foes</A></p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/memberlist.forum" target=_blank>Memberlist </A></p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/groupcp.forum" target=_blank>Groups</A></p></TD></TR><TR><TD align=left><p><STRONG><IMG alt="" src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/oxygen-icons.org/oxygen/16/Places-mail-message-icon.png"> Private messages</STRONG></p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/msg.forum?folder=inbox" target=_blank>Inbox</A></p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/msg.forum?folder=sentbox" target=_blank>PM sent</A></p></TD></TR><TR><TD align=left><p><IMG alt="" src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/apathae/wren/16/Download-icon.png"> <STRONG>Other</STRONG></p><p><A href="https://township.forumotion.com/search.forum?search_id=watchsearch" target=_blank>Topic is being watched</A></p></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Thanks I tried but couldn't get it to work. I think maybe I need to learn a bit more before attempting this.

Thank you for your help though :

In my test forum it is working all the links are ok
What do you mean by saying it is not working?

I have this show up all over the right hand side of my forum when I add the widget:

Users Control Panel
border=0 width="100%">

Like I say this is probably an error somewhere by me.

next to quote button is the code tags please use it next time to do not place the codes like this in the editor it is hard to read

you don't copy the whole code you are missing at least the first 4 rows

I have copied and pasted all of it. I don't know why it isn't saving all of it.

switch the editor mode copy paste again and retry

Thanks so much @skouliki, that worked

my pleasure
