MDApplicants Profile Generator

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)

Does anyone know if paul411 has an alternative link to his MDapps profile generator? The one that he posted a while back doesn't seem to work anymore (http://faberdesigns.com/mdapplicants/)

Thanks!

Try PM'ing Paul?

Maybe a dumb question... but what is the point of MDApps? I applied all over with no issue and didn't hear about it until after being admitted.

It's helpful if you're one of those people that likes to try and figure out what "baseline" competitiveness is at various schools. It also gives you an idea of what you should be doing.

Whether it will have a fancy PHP input interface as I suspect paul411's "generator" had remains to be seen. Maybe paul411 will respond and save me the effort...

Until then, don't forget you can always Right Click > View Source on any profile using the paul411 template, such as mine, gettheleadout's, NickNaylor's or paul411's. The relevant bit starts with <style type="text/css">.

Just received a reply from paul411 and he just said he doesn't have the webspace to host the generator anymore. And I'm not too technologically savy, how would I use the source code to generate my profile? haha

awesome! Thanks a lot DOCBERT

Is there a reason it would need to be hosted at special webspace? Can he not just put the code into a free site? If not, I have another idea. Let me know what Paul says or if I should PM him myself.

You would take the code sections from the source code and replace the content of a profile with your own, then copy/paste the new code+content into your profile. This is actually quite difficult to do from whole page source code...

No reason was given to me. I think you should PM him to get some more information.

No problem. Thanks.

I finally got around to re-writing the profile code generator: http://is.gd/mdapplicants

If people can test it to make sure it works and stuff, I'll send the file so they can host in on SDN.

Disclaimer: I only tested it in Chrome 19.

Cool beans. Gonna try it out later tonight.

So when are you going to sue DocBert for stealing your work, changing the fonts, and passing it off as his own? Lol!

Awesome! Can't seem to get some parts of it to work in FF 13 (disabled NoScript and ABP, but may be an issue with something like that; I think I just have a javascript problem...), but works in Safari 5.

Fixed in FF 13.

Pretty impressive work! If we could just get MDApps to incorporate it into all their profiles without requiring a html workaround.

Just a note here guys, for some time I haven't been able to get the expand/hide toggles on individual activities to work in Firefox. I realized the problem was that the "srcElement" code segment isn't compatible with Firefox, and replaced it with the universal "target" in my code. It works now, but I still can't expand/hide individual activities on others' profiles, confirming that it was the problem.

Paul, would you consider replacing the srcElement phrase within the code generator?
