How do I use PROFILErehab layouts in Myspace 2.0?

You must upgrade your profile to myspace 2.0 to use 2.0 layouts. Myspace will save your current layout for 90 days in case you want to go back to the original myspace(1.0).

To upgrade your myspace profile to 2.0 and implement our layouts:

1. Login to your myspace, and in the top menu click PROFILE and then click CUSTOMIZE PROFILE in the drop down box.
2. On this page click "Upgrade to Profile 2.0"
3. Select "No Theme" in the SELECT THEME section.
4. Then Grab our code (Copy Ctrl-C) and Paste(Ctrl-V) it in the CSS box in the CSS section.
5. Click PUBLISH or SAVE & EXIT to finish.

 

What is Myspace 2.0 and do I have to upgrade my profile?

Myspace just announced the option to upgrade your profile to Myspace Profile 2.0, the newly coded myspace profile version that is more customizable. You can upgrade your profile to 2.0 when you login to your myspace edit profile page. But layouts made for the original myspace profile(1.0) do not work in 2.0. If you like your current profile, you do not have to upgrade to 2.0. Just leave your profile as it is. We will be making some of our designs available in Myspace 2.0 layouts for those of you who upgraded your profile. The 1.0 version myspace layouts you find on most layout websites won't work in Myspace 2.0 because the code is entirely different. If you do decide to upgrade to Myspace 2.0, myspace will save your 1.0 profile for 90 days so that you can go back if you decide to. And you will always have the option to go back after 90 days, but you will have to re-do your profile the way you had it.

 

Why are the left and right columns stretched out too wide? Why is my screen scrolling from left to right?

The left and right Myspace columns need to stay a certain width in order to look right and not stretch out. When people add comments to your myspace with images that are too wide it pushes the side edges over and often makes your myspace page scroll from left to right (it is not supposed to do that). Each box you see on your myspace page is called a table. To make your myspace look it's best, you need to set the width of any assets(images, slideshows, etc.) you put into the tables. When you add a slideshow, a youtube video or an image that is too wide it also pushes the sides of the tables out and distorts your myspace page. Luckily you can fix these problems by setting the image, video or slideshow width. Below we will explain how to fix the comments section and the right and left columns.

Right Column:

To fix anything you put in the Right column in myspace, make sure that you set the image, video or slidewho width to 416 pixels or less. If the image or slide show is already under 416 pixels then leave it, but if its stretching the table and over 416 pixels then you want to go into the image code that you pasted in when you got the image and add a width command to change the width down to 416.

To do this, find the image code in your edit section in myspace:(It should look like this below)

<img src="imagename.jpg" width="416">

In the above code, just locate the image name and then add after the quotations width="416" before the > sign. If there is already a width specified just change it to 416 or less.

Left Column:

For anything in the Left column the width should be 180 pixels or less. I would move all your slide shows to the Right columns because the right column has so much more room for a wide slide show. But for any images in the Left columns you can just do the same thing you did above but make the images 180 or less in width.

<img src="imagename.jpg" width="180">

Comment Section:

If someones comment is stretching your comments table, the best thing to do is to delete that comment and that table should be fixed as long as you don't have anything else on the right column that is pushing the table out.

YouTube Videos:

If you are trying to resize a YouTube Video, just change the width in the code just like you would for an image.

Here is an example of part of a youtube video code below. Just find the width in the code and change the width to 416 for the Right column or 180 for the Left column depending on which side you put the video on:

object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="344" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/dQn47RNlQ6g&hl=en&fs=1">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dQn47RNlQ6g&hl=en&fs=1" />
</object>

Slideshows:

To edit the width in a slideshow, try to change the width to 416 for the Right Column and 180 for the Left column. The beginning of some Slideshow codes says <div style="width:450px">. Slideshows work better in the Right columns because there is so much more room.

 

How do I change my extended network image(status section) to a different image?

Different websites use different code but for our code, look for the section that says ExtendedNetwork. When you find that section of code there is an image url to our extended network image that says http://......jpg. Just replace the url with the url to the image you want to use.

You need to make sure the width of the image you are putting in is exactly 439 pixels wide or it won't look right. The height can be whatever you want it to be, but you have to set the height in the code. So right below the extended network image url you will see "height: 300px;". The number needs to be replaced with the height (in pixels) of your image. If you don't change the height your image may get cut off or be too small to fit. If you don't know how to find out the height of your image, just play around with the height code and change the numbers until it shows your image correctly.

 

Why doesn't my status show up in my extended network table? The extended network image is there but the text is mising. How do I make my extended network text show up?

Before myspace changed the extended network text to the Status text, a lot of myspace layout websites made the extended network text invisible because it was boring and said the same thing on every single myspace. So once they changed it to show the status, myspace users suddenly became interested in having that text show up. So if you come across one of our early layouts that has hidden the Status text, you can make it show up by editing our code.

First, look through the code (or do a search of the code with Control F) and find ExtendedNetwork. This code section should look something like this:

ExtendedNetwork,table.extendedNetwork,span.blacktext12{
background: url(http://i257.photobucket.com/profilerehab/myspace/new_layout_ext_1.jpg)
no-repeat center center;
height: 149px;
vertical-align: top;
color: a6a79f;
font: 0 "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;
}

Change the font size from 0 to size 11(or whatever size you want it to be). Next, look through the code or hit Ctrl-F to find blacktext12. This code will look something like this:

.span.blacktext12 {
font-size: 0;
color: 2f1018;
vertical-align: top;
}

Change the font size from 0 to 11 (or whichever size you chose for the ExtendedNetwork code). Once you have both of these changes made, the text should show up.
