Custom Profile Field Mod

Kirok · January 26, 2008, 06:38:02 PM

Hello!

I was wondering if there was a way to search for specific members when this mod is installed.

Example: My forum is a high school reunion site, and members wish to search for a specific year that a member graduated in. I "force" members to enter their graduating year when they join, so I was wondering if that is a optional search.

Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome. BTW, I use the SMF default theme.

Thank you!

Kirok

PS: This is an awesome mod!

this mod does not have search capabilities of the custom fields...

Kirok · January 26, 2008, 11:27:35 PM

Shoot!

Oh well, thanks for the reply though. It is appreciated!

Is it possible to upgrade by simply uploading the source file?

Thanks

Hello, I have a question I sent you a pm but I do not know if you got it but is there anyway you could (please) add a option to create a browse option so that when people register they could upload pictures ? I want to use it for verification purpose's and also be able to make it mandatory.

@ Digit

I presume that you are asking if the mod has an upgrade option...the mod read-me contains the following "Sorry, but there is no upgrade package from your version. Please uninstall the previous version, and install this version. You won't lose any data."

@ Methen

The feature you mention is not part of this mod at present and one should not normally PM such requests. The mod author will see the requests you make in this topic and may consider them for future versions of the mod, though it is in no way required for mod authors so to do.

I was not aware of this thread at the time of posting.

If there is no file for it in the custom theme, that theme pulls it from the default folder

YorkM · January 28, 2008, 08:31:35 PM

I must change the file from the default folder or paste the file into the custom theme ?

The first....though if you installed it, it allready did the default theme edits, you need to install it only on the custom themes

You may also be having language file problems as this mod may not support the language you are using...please try switching to English (and not English utf8) and see if the missing options are then shown. (ACP>Server Settings)

YorkM · January 29, 2008, 08:01:22 AM

Thanks a lot to help me,

- I had copy/paste display.template.php from my default folder to my custom theme folder, but nothing appear in "Feature & Options" .

(Remark : When I select my defaut theme (and not Dilbermc), "Custom profile Field" doesn't appear in "Feature & Options" too.)

- In "Server Settings" , I have this :

But when I select English this puts in French automatically !

Kindred · January 29, 2008, 01:35:50 PM

display.template.php has nothing to do with the features and options.

The features and options issue is directly related to your non-english language. You will have to either find a way to set your account to use English, or add the phrases from modifications.english.php into modifications.french.php

smf has default profile fields like age gender location

can I make the compulsory during registration with this mod.

TrueSatan · January 30, 2008, 09:42:57 AM

No, this mod doesn't affect the default fields and making fields compulsory isn't an existing feature of it.

ONLY the fields it creates

Hi,

I was having the issue where the custom fields don't show up in the admin after installing it. This post solved my issue...

QuoteYou may also be having language file problems as this mod may not support the language you are using...please try switching to English (and not English utf8) and see if the missing options are then shown. (ACP>Server Settings)

I should note I installed smf through Fantastico, so this is probably a pretty common default setting.

TrueSatan · February 01, 2008, 07:00:10 AM

Yes, it's a well known issue with Fantastico installations...I'm glad you got it working.
