JDALIP - Join Date And Location In Postbit

- For SMF 2.0.x
- Partially using hook, minor modifications on two files.

1. Please do your own backup though every installation is backed up automatically.
2. This mod will show member's join date and location in two places in Display (post) or Personal Message (PM) page(s).
3. After a successful instalaltion, you will be given several options to use this mod.
4. All you need to do is turn check each option preferred in Mod Settings Page and save it.

Great mod, just installed it and it works perfectly

[Joker™]

thank you

[~DS~]

Well that's much better. Glad you like my idea. Options in one mod are always good when you can always disable or enable them.
Cheers.

Downloaded it and tried to install...
I get Error:
Unable to find Package file.

Any ideas?
Have checked that the file size download = file size uploaded...? Tried to upload several times, but keep getting same message when trying to install. Using custom theme estalia...

[Reefer]

C'mon guys... help a noob here!
Tried to install manually, but when I get to this instruction...
./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php
there is no such directory in my theme files.
Is it possible to skip this file or am I courting disaster? What to do please?

[Joker™]

./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php << it must be there

you are using SMF2.0 RC3 ?

[Reefer]

Yep I'm using RC3. But I'm using a custom theme... if I don't find the file in my custom theme directory, do I then go to the default theme directory?
I'm obviously not understanding the use of themes too well. My custom theme is set as the default. I assumed that the default directory would then be my custom theme directory? Or not?

[Joker™]

no , as mentioned in parse , if ur custom theme don't have the file then your default theme is providing it the files.

Most of the themes uses the files of default theme.

So , make changes in the files of default theme which are not present in your custom theme .

What do I need to do to make the location field a required field on the registration page?

[Joker™]

What do I need to do to make the location field a required field on the registration page?

I'm assuming that you are using SMF 2.0 series

Go to
1. Administration Center » Core Features -- Enable "Advanced Profile Fields"
2. Administration Center » Features and Options » Profile Fields -- Just click show "location" on registration page.

I understand that, but I want to make it a field that is REQUIRED to be filled out to proceed with registration. This helps me with locating spammers as my forum is a regional specific forum. So if someone signs up from a foreign country, its a red flag its a spammer.

Thanks!
