The Celestial Fortress
The official place of worship of Abronaxus, the god of peace and harmony. This is where all pure blooded dovaa come to learn of the different clans as well as finding themselves through their studies. As they grow, they come here, where Marcus Ysaride lives as well, to give him their collected souls and show off their true worth to the Plane.

Astral City
Astral City is the 'capital' of the Celestial Plane and is home to many merchants and sellers of all kinds. Looking for a gift for a friend? This is the first place most, if not all, dovaa look. There are many streets of gold and silver lining. Most people are kind, though of course there are those who are a bit more rude than most like, just like the culture in any civilization. Astral City is the most beautiful capital of all Magesc, but it is not traveled by many for anyone not of the dovaa race is not allowed in the plane. Anything you would expect to find in any major city can be found here.

The Coliseum
This is where many dovaa fight for their pride, honor, and status. There's an annual Tournament to see who will become the next leader of the Celestial Guard. The Celestial Guard is the task force in charge of keeping the Plane a safe environment for all dovaa. Marcus is the leader, but the Celestial Guard Captain is his right hand man (or woman).

Dawnkeeper Hostel
The Dawnkeeper Hostel, located on the Celestial Plane's coastline, near the portal to the lower worlds, is a popular rendezvous point for traveling family members and — more famously — long-separated, or soon-to-separate lovers, and is nicknamed 'the drop off' for that very reason. It has a few bawdier terms associated with it, and thanks to its long existence, several generations of dovaa have had a few children dubbed 'dawnkeeper babies' or 'drop off deliveries' thanks to the origins of their conception. Reputation aside, it is a quaint hostel with several scenic rooms and a picturesque view to set the mood.

Liraelle's Wish
Liraelle was the fatally ill daughter of a prominent politician in Marcus Ysaride's court. Her happiest moments always came from the beauty of the natural world and she wished, one day, to become a famous ysali gardener. Though she never lived long enough to take on a clan of her own, during her time alive, her parents hired seven of the greatest gardeners and landscapers from a mix of the ysali, peisio, and gaili clans to build the greatest garden on all of the Celestial Plane. All through it, massive, enchanted fountains are scattered amidst the greenery and floral formations, spelled so that the water never stops running. Miniature streams flow beneath floral arches, and white-stoned walkways are sidelined by ever-blooming flowers. After their daughter's passing, the family opened the garden up to the public in honor of her memory and her passion, and it is to this day the largest and most intricate of the Plane's gardens, and a favorite getaway for those looking to relax, surrounded by their land's natural beauty.

Calleth's Cove
Also located along the Celestial Plane's coastline, Calleth's Cove is a small nook of sheltered water and easily-climeable rocks. An inviting place for young dovaa children to swim and explore, and the source of many pioneering adventures for those whose parents permit them out that far. The waters are still, clear, and perpetually tepid year-round, making it a relatively safe and promising place for hours of fun.

The Whispering Pond
Located an hour's ride north of Astral City proper, the colloquially-named 'whispering pond' is nestled at the edge between Dannon's Thicket and the fields of Aloradhan. Though some profess it to be a place steeped in old magic - a communing point with the planes of the gods - for the most part, it is a simple, if beautiful, watering hole frequented often by young dovaa and their parents, or shy lovers looking for a gathering place. It has no known magical properties despite the fact that some insist it is the best place to travel for prayer to commune with their god.

The Fields of Aloradhan
The fields of Aloradhan surround Astral City on every side. They are home to farmers and rural entrepreneurs who prefer the quiet life over the bustle of the city and stretch for many miles in most directions, though they are thickest around Astral City's southern edge. Green, lively, and prosperous, they provide rich soil for those willing to till it, and great open fields of rolling hills and smooth expanses scattered with only a few stray trees for those children who would prefer simply to run amidst the long grasses.

Dannon's Thicket
Dannon's thicket is the densest part of forest on the Celestial Plane, though still not thick enough to block the light of day from shimmering down through the trees. It lies directly north of Astral City and covers a broad expanse of land, home to a few scattered residents who make their way mostly living off the land with the occasional trip down into the city proper. It is lush, made up of many wild fruit-bearing trees amongst the rest, and provides homes for a good number of prey animals in addition to the dovaa who travel it.

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>
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.
