Need Small Help

[Vonotna]

Hello, I am using SimplePortal and UltimateProfile mods. (I am pretty sure all of you are familiar with them)
I have User info section on my home page (posts,massages,profile,log out..)
Now, I want in this user info section to have a certain profile field from ultimateprofile added.
Here is a silly example of what i need thanks

[margarett]

I'm not sure if it works with the ultimate profile, but Advanced Profile Fields should be enough for what you need
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.0:Core_Features#Advanced_Profile_Fields
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.0:Features_and_Options#Profile_Fields

[Vonotna]

I was just looking into that, figured that I don't need the ultimate profile mod. Made a profile filed with it but still It doesnt show on the home page, only in the profile. I guess I need to change something in the SimplePortal mod. I have no problems with adding fields I just don't know how to make it show on the homepage and this is crutial for my forum.

[margarett]

I would suggest you check SimplePortal's site for advice.

[Vonotna]

I have found people on SimplePortals forum asking this and it isn't resolved I tried playing with the code with no success
Thanks for trying to help me 

[br360]

Actually [sinan] has answered that before when asked- http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=13102.msg65008#msg65008

I'm looking at the Sources/PortalBlocks.php file now. Look for-

Code Select Expand

echo '
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_topics_visit'], '</a></li>
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['unread_replies'], '</a></li>';

What you want to add would probably go right under there. I just tested it and added a link and it worked- but back up first.

Here is an example of what I did with my forum. I added this part after the above code to look like this-

Code Select Expand



                echo '
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), '<a href=http://genxcommunity.com/index.php?topic=18435.0>testing something here</a></li>';

[Vonotna]

hmm I understand you untill the part where I need to put my own forum link, how to find the code/link for my costum profile field.
I dont just want something writen, I need when I change the profile field also the field on homepage in user info to be changed.
That sounded confusing hope you understood can't explain better

[br360]

Sorry, it is a little confusing and not exactly sure what you are trying to do.

How are you setting up the profile field, and will there be any sort of html link at all for your members in their profiles?

[Vonotna]

Nope, no links sorry for the confusion
I just want a profile field to be shown in the user info.
Looking at the source/portalblocks file I guess I need to add something here:

         <sup>echo '
                           ', $member_info['group'], '<br />';
      else
         echo '
                           ', $member_info['post_group'], '<br />';

      echo '
                           ', $member_info['group_stars'], '<br />';</sup>

Something like
member_info [costum field/points]

Hope you understood me now 

[Vonotna]

oow and I didn't asnwer your question, am setting up the profie field just from the Advanced Profile Fields in smf.

[br360]

So you want a member's points they get to be shown in that user info area? How do members get points to begin with, who adds the points, and how would it be shown in their own profile?

[Vonotna]

costum field, points will be added manually by the admin.
In their own profile there is a costum field named "Points"
Thanks for your assistence.

[Kindred]

I don't know that SimplePortal ever exposes any of the user's advanced profile fields for use...  You really need to ask them.

If they don't then you are going to have to code it yourself -- a full query to the user's record plus then joining the advanced profile fields -- then display.


In short -- this is actually a coding request...

Also - please note: "need small help" is basically a useless title for your question thread. You should clearly state a summary of the question/problem instead of something generic like "need help"

[Vonotna]

Meaning this would be a lot more harder to do then I expected
I will try emailing SimplePortal's staff.
And yes for the title sorry, really didn't know what to write and now it ended up not beeing such a small help.

[Pipke]

You need a query that grabs the profile field info wich you have setup with smf's Core_Features, Advanced_Profile_Fields, from the db and add the outcome on the userinfo block from the simpleprotal mod right?

[margarett]

Actually, loadMemberContext should already be doing it for him.

I think he "just" needs to expand the user info block template to actually show the custom profile fields, because the data should already be available...

[Kindred]

Is the data available in the member context array?  because it's not in the members table
(note: I have not actually looked at that function recently)

[Pipke]

Actually, loadMemberContext should already be doing it for him.

I think he "just" needs to expand the user info block template to actually show the custom profile fields, because the data should already be available...

I wouldn't bother calling loadMemberContext and wasting space in memory and extra CPU cycles computing the information, the custom fields input fields are placed in the smf_themes table, i prefer to load only that field what is needed (as the OP wants only one field to be shown?), a simple query will do the job.

[margarett]

It is called already

[Vonotna]

Yes its already shown in the member context array. And yes I only need one field to be shown.
I have researched a little bit about what you guys mean by simple query means.
But whenever I try changing something in the source/SimplePortal the whole forum gives error.
Example:
<sub>echo '
                           ', $member_info['group'], '<br />';
      else
         echo '
                           ', $member_info['post_group'], '<br />';

      echo '
                           ', $member_info['group_stars'], '<br />';</sub>

If I delete one of this lines since lets say  don't want members info for stars to be shown it gives eror.
Maybe I am just too new for this stuff and need more proper knowledge

[Kindred]

well, you would need to delete TWO lines there in most cases
both the echo and the content.

Additionally, the start of that code is part of an conditions (if/else) clause and youwould need to make sure that is not left hanging by deleting the wrong bit of it.

[Pipke]

Ok here we go..

Go to Admin->Configuration->Features and Options->Profile Fields

Then scroll down on the page, there is the costum field you have (already) setup!

There you see Field Name! (see my attachment image)

We need the field name ie: test2 (yours will be different, i guess?)

Go to the file in Sources/PortalBlocks.php

About on line 217/218 you find this:

Code Select Expand


<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_topics_visit'], '</a></li>
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['unread_replies'], '</a></li>';

change it to this:

Code (replace with) Select Expand


<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_topics_visit'], '</a></li>
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['unread_replies'], '</a></li>';
if (!empty($member_info['options']['cust_test2']))
echo'<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <strong>Example:</strong> ', $member_info['options']['cust_test2'], '</li>';


As you see in my code there is two times in the code the text 'cust_test2' you need to change that with your profile field name

so $member_info['options']['cust_test2'] to $member_info['options']['cust_your profile field name']

The text between <strong> and </strong> ie: 'Example' is hardcoded text, and i will know for sure Kindred wil say something about it, so you should check this to fix that with a string!

so <strong>Example:</strong> to <strong> ', $txt['this_is_text'], '</strong> '

Good luck with the edit

[Vonotna]

Thank you for the nice instruction but am sure I followed them all right but it didn't change anything.
I made it like this
                              ^{<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_topics_visit'], '</a></li>
                              <li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['unread_replies'], '</a></li>';
                              if (!empty($member_info['options']['cust_points']))
                                 echo'<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <strong>Example:</strong> ', $member_info['options']['cust_points'], '</li>';}

It doenst add anything nor does it give any error no idea what mastake did I make.

[Kindred]

is your custom field actually named JUST "points"?

[Pipke]

Just to check something else, did you entered something on your forum profile in the profile field wich you have setup?
The field 'points' must have a value?

[Vonotna]

yes its named just points
and yes there is a value if I understood what you meant by it
"Points: 32"

[Illori]

Code Select Expand

echo'<pre>';
print_r($member_info['options']);die();

can you add that code and post the results? afterwards you can delete the code.

[Vonotna]

Yey, the last code made me realise that I have changed the profile field name in the past, and I needed to type in the field name that was originaly created by.
It works now. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
Sorry about this but now I have another question (this will probbly be easier )
Now i have this:


I have tried for like an hour to delete the

^{Posts
Recent Unread Topics
Updated Topics}
but everytime I get error on my whole forum.
How should I do it or if its easier delete it for me I have attached the code in notepad.
I can't express how grateful I am at the moment 

[Vonotna]

In short I want to have:

Total Messages:
New Massages:
Points:

Would do it myself but seems like I just can't figure out which paragraphs to delete

[margarett]

Delete this

Code Select Expand

echo '
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <strong>', $txt['posts'], ':</strong> ', $member_info['posts'], '</li>';


And this

Code Select Expand

echo '
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_topics_visit'], '</a></li>
<li>', sp_embed_image('dot'), ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['unread_replies'], '</a></li>';


Should work

[Vonotna]

THe posts were deleted
But when I delete the second code I get the 500 internal server error

[Vonotna]

Nope.. tried both of the codes even tought I have karma disabled didn't work still error

[Pipke]

what error? and can you give your site link so we can take a look.

[Vonotna]

Sorry I can't post the link, but its the common 500 internal page erorr.

[Kindred]

a 500 error is an server error...  possibly because of a bad chmod permissions on the file when you save.   How are you editing the file?

[Vonotna]

Directly in the file manager on my hosting
But everything before worked so I don't see why this removal won't.
And i have full permissions on the file just checked.
