April Fools Ideas

April Fools MySpace Spoof Pages.

I created these a few years ago. Now I am upgrading the tutorial to work with myspace 2.0).

Code for myspace 2.0

Spoof page, to make the page look like the user has been deleted

Select "Customize Profile" from the Profile menu
Select "Change Layout"
Select the layout, that looks like this:



Next select
"Modules"

Hide all modules EXCEPT the blurbs.
We are going to use the blurbs for our content, we will hide the blurb headers, in a later step.

Notice that the top area (where your profile image, contact links, online, mood, status, headline reside) can not be hidden using the "Modules" function.

However, we can hide all of it, or elements within it using CSS.
[note: You may opt to not show some personal information such as age, last login. If you choose this the word "private" will show next to the header for that content. We will hide this later.]

Now drag the blurbs to the top (if they are not already there), placing them just below the top area.


Put the following code into the CSS area:

{! prepare for div overlay myspace 2.0 code by Eileen !}
{! terms of use http://xiii.us/tou !}
.i {display:none;}
{! Hide Basic Information Module !}
div.basicInfoModule {display:none;}

{! hide blurbs header !}
div.blurbsModule h3 {display:none;}

{! hide about me header !}
div.blurbAboutMe h4 {display:none;}

{! hide entire meet section !}
div.blurbLikeToMeet {display:none;}

{! hide Meet Header !}
div.blurbLikeToMeet h4 {display:none;} 

{! override default padding in blurbs module !}
div.blurbsModule {margin:0px; padding:0px}
div.blurbsModule div.moduleBody, div.blurbsModule div.moduleMid{padding:0px;} 

{! remove extra space caused by padding, margins, min-height settings !}
div.contentMid2 {padding:0px;}

{! set width of profile !}
div.wrap {width:800px;}

{! set style for div we are using as our container !}
div.myCoreDiv{width:800px;  background-color:white; text-align:center; height:400px;}
div.spacer {height:157px;}
div.myCoreDiv span.s1 {display:block; font-size:14px; color:#1D1f81; width:100%; text-align:center"} 

Put this code into your about me section:

<a class=i href="http://xiii.us/v/">
myspace 2.0 Div overlay code/tutorial by Eileen</a>
<div class="myCoreDiv">
<div class="spacer"></div>

<span class="s1">
Invalid Friend ID.
<br />
This user has either canceled their membership, or their account has been deleted.
</span>
</div>

To make the page look more realistic, you want to make a user name that looks like it belongs on the top menu.
My example page uses "other" as the display name.

If you want to make your page look like an Error Page (with a slightly altered message)
Follow the instructions above, except instead use the following code:

Put this into the css area:

{! prepare for div overlay myspace 2.0 code by Eileen !}
{! terms of use http://xiii.us/tou !}
.i {display:none;}
div.wrap {width:800px;}
{! Hide Basic Information Module !}
div.basicInfoModule {display:none;}

{! hide blurbs header !}
div.blurbsModule h3 {display:none;}

{! hide about me header !}
div.blurbAboutMe h4 {display:none;}

{! hide entire meet section !}
div.blurbLikeToMeet {display:none;}

{! hide Meet Header !}
div.blurbLikeToMeet h4 {display:none;} 

{! override default padding in blurbs module !}
div.blurbsModule {margin:0px; padding:0px}
div.blurbsModule div.moduleBody, div.blurbsModule div.moduleMid{padding:0px;} 

{! remove extra space caused by padding, margins, min-height settings !}
div.contentMid2 {padding:0px;}

{! set style for div we are using as our container !}
div.myCoreDiv{position:relative; width:800px;  background-color:white; text-align:center; height:400px;}

div.myCoreDiv span {display:block; color:#1D1f81; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:center; width:800px;}
div.myCoreDiv span.s1 {font-size:14px;  position:absolute; top:157px; left:0px;} 

div.myCoreDiv span.s2 { font-size:11px; position:absolute; bottom:0px; left:0px; } 

Put the following into your about me area:

<a class="i" href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8veGlpaS51cy92Lw==">
myspace 2.0 Div overlay code/tutorial by Eileen</a>
<div class="myCoreDiv">
<div class="spacer"></div>

<span class="s1">
<strong>Sorry! an EXPECTED error has occurred.<br /><br />
This error has NOT been forwarded to MySpace's technical group.</strong>
</span>
<div class="spacerb"></div>
<span class="s2">
We here at myspace Understand your frustration with the poor engineering of our system. <br />We  really have to concentrate on the changes which will best increase our revenue.<br />Performance is not really that important.
</span>
</div>

While I recommend that you Upgrade to Myspace 2.0. Below is the older code I had for myspace 1.0


However, the below code may still work, for 1.0
For a while it did not work, myspace was not allowing me to close tables, I did not open. However, they later started allowing this again.


The first one makes your page look like an error page (with the text slightly altered.

The 2nd one makes it look like your user has been deleted.


Instructions:

STEP 1 (Very Important)
Cut and Past your current Code (style code you can leave data in place) to notepad, so you can easily restore it.

Step 2:
Paste the code block of choice in your About Me OR to Meet section.

Save, and you are done.

The block button uses Tom's friend Id, you may want to change it to your own.
The block is a required page element.

If you are using the "User Deleted" spoof page, to the effect can be enhanced by changing your user default image, to one that makes it look like you have been deleted.
This way your friends will see this image in their friend space and comments, in place of your usual profile image.

Here are some images you may use.


The band page (see the note on the bottom of this article)
Have Fun.

The 1st example spoof page looks like Spoof Error Page
The 2nd example spoof page looks like Page that looks Deleted
