Custom Profile Field Mod Request

[myaicons]

im gonna put this out there in case there is some uber talented and super nice code genius that would be willing to modify and tinker with the Custom Profile Field Mod... so it can be turned on or off by the admin specific to a membergroup 

i.e.  the admin can choose which membergroup can have extra profile fields... or even better... different fields can be set depending on membergroup

i know this can be quite a task... but im sure there is someone brilliant enough to make it happen

i offer 4 beers (or beverage) of choice to the one who can make it happen

I made an improved version of that mod that you can find here

http://wgnrs.dynalias.com/smf/customprofile.html

With it you can restrict the editing and viewing to member groups.

[myaicons]

not quite sure if that is what im looking for... it says it restricts the viewing or editing to membergroup....

what im looking for is the ability to set certain membergroups to have a certain set of additional profile fields (so they can be different from let say a regular member not in that membergroup)
i need everyone to be able to see the fields... just that there would be different fields per membergroup...

what you have is pretty good and close tho!

[rsw686]

If I understand what you want correctly it will do what your asking. The restrictions are settable per field. So if you had member group A you would set its view/edit restrictions to only group A. That means any member in that group can view the field.

what about members in other membergroups or even just a regular member?  would they be able to view the answers to the profile fields that "group A" have also? 

if so... that is what im looking for

You've got me slightly confused. So what you are asking is that only Group A can edit the fields, but the other membergroups can view the fields. Yes that is possible. You would only need to set an edit restriction for Group A. Leave the view restrictions unchecked.

Atleast I think that is what you are asking. You should just create a test forum and try the mod out. If it works then put it on your live forum.

ok... so im trying it out right now... and so far it seems to be working... but a few questions:

do i need to install the dbconvert if i have removed all  of my previous existing profile fields ?  because this is what i got after pointing my browser to it:

Custom Profile Fields Database Converter
<a href="?convert>Click to Start

and it wont "click to start"

also....

the fields show on the profile eventhough it was not filled out.... is there a way to not have the fields show if the member does not answer it?

its great that that only the set fields show when the member is editing is the profile... but the rest of the fields that are not for that member are showing on his/her profile eventhough it is empty

[rsw686]

The error was because I forgot the other " in the link. No you don't need to convert if you removed your old fields.

The fields show even if not filled out so that all user's profiles look the same. You'd need to change the coding to check if the fields were empty.

I've just upgraded to the latest version and I CAN'T do that. I can restrict editing and viewing of fields to ADMINS, but not to any group...

You probably are using the Custom Profile Field Mod not the Custom Profile Field Improved mod. Mine wasn't accepted into the SMF Mod site due to issues with it being identical in the interface to the other mod.

You can download it here

Your field settings page should look like

Very nice.

If I install this, will my current fields remain the same. as in, will all the data people have entered remain intact??

[myaicons]

The fields show even if not filled out so that all user's profiles look the same. You'd need to change the coding to check if the fields were empty.

umm.... forgive me...but im a bit coding challenged...i can follow directions real good tho

if it wouldnt be much trouble can you tell me how to do that?  (to have the fields not show when it is not filled out)

[rsw686]

Very nice.

You would need to use the dbconvert_1.1.php file. It does not modify the old profile field data, just makes a copy of it in the correct format for my mod. The directions for how to do this are at the bottom of the link I gave you. As always I recommend making a backup of your forum first.

OMG!  I love you! it works!!

okay... not to be a pest... one last thing....

for text areas... answers that are not brocken up by a return shows up as a long line and resizes the theme table.... how can i stop it from doing that?

Can you show me a screen shot of this? Are there spaces in the answer? I tried place a long line of text in the text area (with spaces) and it wraps at the space. Not sure why the answer wouldn't include some spaces.

[myaicons]

so apparently i had a lapse of insanity coz now the text area is working fine... (its only if you write a super long word that exceeds the text area does it resize the theme table.. which i think does that for any field)

Yep the only way around that is to wrap the field text in a div tag with and have it show scroll bars. I think that's worse as spaces won't cause it to wrap then.

I Love Love Love your mod....

but i think it is causing this error...

this shows up periodically in my error log:

Code Select Expand

http://blahblah.com/sforum/index.php?action=register2 
8: Undefined variable: memberID
File: /home/content/html/sforum/Sources/Register.php
Line: 172


and im afraid it might be not letting some guests register.... (which is not good because i need members!)


please assist   help ! asap!
