Custom Profile Field Mod

[DaBrute]

Now my index

[DaBrute]

I do notice ultimate profile uses the same mod setting and the test failed when I tried to uninstall. Before I added custom mod, i had no problems doing so.

[Arantor]

The error related to ModSettings.php - that's the first place to look. I note you've posted it, I'll take a look now - no need to post any further files for the moment.

EDIT: Try this version. You'll have to rename it back to ModSettings.php before uploading. Ultimate Profile kinda broke it.

So download it like normal?

[Arantor]

Yes. Then rename it back to ModSettings.php. Then upload it.

[DaBrute]

Yes. Then rename it back to ModSettings.php. Then upload it.

IT WORKED!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!  What was the problem?  Would this mod work since i have ultimate profile installed? THANKS!!!

[Arantor]

There were three problems.

Two of them concerning Ultimate Profile (two instance of this):

Code Select Expand

'ultprofile' => 'ModifyUltProfileSettings'
'profile' => 'ModifyProfileSettings',
'profile' => 'ModifyProfileSettings',

Which should have been:

Code Select Expand

'ultprofile' => 'ModifyUltProfileSettings',
'profile' => 'ModifyProfileSettings',

And ModifyProfileSettings was listed twice.

THANKS MAN....how do you know all this stuff?  TEACH ME MASTER!! LOL

Well, all I did was drop the file into my intranet and tried to run it. It told me where the errors were, then I just took a look.

If you want to learn to do something similar, grab a book on PHP (php.net itself isn't a bad site to visit for the manual actually) and have a read. Once you understand the basics, it will become clearer what everything is doing.

**********************
just found this on post 120 !

once again, it would help if people would bother to READ previous posts in the thread.


so... for the twentieth time in this thread:
You are running your forum in English UTF-8. Mods only install into English. Therefore, you either need to add the text strings to your modifications.engliushutf8.php or switch your forum to English.

BUT

none of your edits seem to go INTO english files ! I checked
in fact = here is my post on the normal support forum

ok
I found that mod and installed it
but, saw NO way to use it!
have already learned that other mods that I installed did not work, until I observed that they were modding English files (not the English.utf8 that I had as my Major language)
so i would always go in and tweak the utf8 files
but I do not see any 'language specific files in eh mod
might go back and change my language to 'plain' English
not sure what mods I hand tweaked

can you think of any other reason why this mod is not working?>
I go to the Features and Options page as instructed - but see nothing there to do???

so, as you can see - I AM aware of the utf8 issues

will keep scanning your topic(s)

[TheDragon]

Same prob as Jimbo had. Under default it is english utf8, only option available, is this correct?

You only have english-utf8 under the language dropdown option in your server settings?

You would have gotten numerous installation errors when installing mods that needed the english only language files to install into?

see my post back around page 136 #2710
I do NOT have a plain english option
in fact ALL my options have utf8 tags at end
was also told - cannot revert to english only anyway
and , I never had ANY errors on installing mods
(although sometimes they did not work - so I hand edited the utf8 files
BUT as I said - there are NO English files in this mod
(I got it on Sep 30, 2009)
and it HAD a file called CustomProfile.english.php
and I  searched all the other files in this mod, and could not find any reference to the term English

if your forums does not have an modifications.english.php  and other ***.english.php files then you are going to have issues with EVERY MOD.   Mods, in general, ONLY install in english (and once again, english UTF-8 is DIFFERENT from english)

You will have to take the manual instructions, find the changes to the ***.english.php files (usually modifications.english.php, but sometimes also others) and manually apply them to your englishutf8 files.

let me REPEAT my info

1. I have 8 mods = NEVER had ANY error/trouble because I use utf8
at worse, the mod simply 'did not work''
so, I made the edits by hand - ALL then worked JUST fine!

2, I also noted that the current release of this mod
HAD NO ENGLISH edits for me to EMULATE into utf8

so, now what ?

[Kyrna]

I installed the mod, which is working perfectly in the default theme. Nearly everyone on the forum uses the Reflection theme, though. What do I need to do to get it to work in the other theme? Reflection already has a CustomProfile.php and a CustomProfile.English.php so if that's what I need to add, would you please tell me what part of those files needs to be added, so I can add it to the current files?

Check out the package parser http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=319;attach=88169;smf_version=1.1.10

Everywhere it says ./Themes/default/some file you will want to change ./Themes/your theme/some file. If the file doesn't exist in your theme then by default SMF should read it from the default core theme. If you still have issues you might want to copy the missing files from the default them to your custom theme.

Fantastic - I'll give this a shot as soon as I get home! I appreciate the quick reply.

[Kyrna]

It seems the only thing I needed to do was copy display.template.php from the default theme into the theme we're using and it worked like magic.

Thanks tons! Awesome mod.

So I want a field on my register page, and I made it optional, and included it in profiles, but only admin can view and edit.

It shows the field, I typed in it, registered it, etc. However when I view it, it's blank, has no value in it. I can edit it and have a value, but won't process on register?

[brion]

*bump* please help
