Assigning Membership Number to members

[aodio]

Hey People...

Looked everywhere, but I'm sure not well enough.

Is there mod out there that can assign a membership number to members on registration and have it show in there board profile?

In advance .. Cheers

Every member already has a number....

It is not specifically exposed/displayed as a field, but could be, with only a single line of code

[aodio]

really?... It's not visible in the member list?

Love your work tho.. What would be the code and where would it live if i was to put it in mate?

cheers

Working from mobile right now, so I can't easily give you the code...   

And no, it's not on the memberlist either ...   but the member ID is what is used to identify the member to the database...    look at the URL when you go to any user's profile, other than your own.

Ok... I didn't want to have to create a spreadsheet for Membership numbers ... If you have the time to have a look at it , it would be much appreciated ..

Go to Admin > Members. That list has the user ID in it.

No, because the values are internal to the database and used for internal reasons, not as a membership number for user purposes.

I do realise that.. So back to the question.. Does any0one know if there is a mod to do the above ....

you could use the custom profile fields and enter the value in there per user.

Yep great idea.. I've done that to give a member number on the visible post profile ... but would still need to keep and external spreadsheet of members number.

Looks like tho that's what i'll have to do .. I've searched for a membership number mode ..but nothing

Just add 1000 to the member number?

Not sure i understand ...why?

I found this http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1652  I guess it's similar to what Kindred was talking about ... But will member numbers change if one member is removed or deleted?

no the user id will never change, you should also not try to change it or you will break the forum.
