Custom Profile Field Mod

[Kindred]

I don't know...   I didn't make the mod and have not looked closely enough at the code to determine that.   I just pointed out the common denominator in the error messages and hope the author of the mod can figure out what's different about utf-8 installations.

I believe I fixed it simply by selecting "english" instead of "english-utf-8" in 'server settings'. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

rlyons, you rock.  After banging my head against my computer for a couple of weeks now this simple fix actually worked.  I was able to install this mod as well as the ad management mod in a couple of minutes.  I haven't actually test them yet but at least I have access to their control panels.  It's absolutely great when things can be fixed so easily (at least once someone informs you what the fix is).
Thanks,
Alex

Somehow, whilst reinstalling the mod afer a 1.1.2 upgrade, I have ended up with duplicate custom fields display.
In Features + Settings / Custom Profile Fields, there are only 2 custom fields displayed (name + school).
During registration, the user is asked to enter the fields twice (name, school, name , school) but the 2nd set of input is used to populate the custom fields.
In a user's profile the 2 custom fields are both displayed twice (name, school, name, school).

It look like only 1 set of data is being stored, but code is present to display the fields twice.

I can't track down where the display of the fields takes place - can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can check the code or tell me how I can I remove one set of display fields?
Many thanks

floydpink -   profile.template.php and register.template.php.   If you have double installs in those, however, you likely have duplicated code in other files as well. The other duplicated code may cause more errors than just double-displaying the custom fields.

123kid,
Go to admin > packages ? list the files in this mod > Open the install.xml or other similarly named file...
In that file it lists the mode instructions on what needs to be added or replaced in what files.

Selecting "english" instead of "english-utf-8" in 'server settings' did it for me too, after lots of time spent digging around. So the fix has been highly appreciated.

Having now got Custom Profile Fields mod to work, would appreciate suggestions as how to increase vertical size of text box on registration form, so new applicants can enter their details. Making it a multiple line word-wrap style entry. Thanks

Is it also possible to change the permissions on Custom Profile Fields such that Global Moderators can view and edit besides just the Admins, without giving general access.

This was resolved by removing duplicate code in the following files (the search string needed to locate the duplication is in brackets - just in case anyone else needs to do the same thing later):
$sourcedir/ModSettings.php (modifyprofilesettings; cp_cpfields; customprofile)
$themedir/Profile.template.php (customprofile)
$themedir/Display.template.php (postspic; customprofile)
$themedir/PersonalMessage.template.php (postspic; customprofile)
$themedir/Register.template.php (customprofile)

I can only guess that the duplicate code was left behind when a mod uninstall was cancelled before it had finished.

How can I get the information creating by Custom Profile Field?

Such as, the value of field CP1

Please show me the code....

I try by created the ssi_showprofiles in SSI.php.

Thank you....

Code Select Expand


function ssi_getprofiles()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $modSettings, $txt , $sourcedir;

require_once($sourcedir . '/CustomProfile.php');


for ($i = 1; $i < 21; $i++)
{

             // This try to show the custom Profile Field.
echo ' ' . $modSettings['CP' . $i . '_name'] . ': ' . $modSettings['CP' . $i . '_???????] .  '<br>';

}



}

Help me Please.......

I've just been having the same problem. But from looking through it it seems it also needs $context['members']['options'] setting to global $options

Code Select Expand

function ssi_customfields()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $modSettings, $txt , $sourcedir;

require_once($sourcedir . '/CustomProfile.php');
$context['member']['options'] = $options;

for ($i = 1; $i < 21; $i++)
{
if ($modSettings['enable_CP' . $i . ''] && isset($context['member']['options'][$modSettings['CP' . $i . '_id']]) && !empty($context['member']['options'][$modSettings['CP' . $i . '_id']]) && $modSettings['CP' . $i . '_profile'])
{
echo $modSettings['CP' . $i . '_id'] . ': ';
echo $context['member']['options'][$modSettings['CP' . $i . '_id']];
}
}

}

Is working for me

Thank you Mr.miken

I found that problem. The $context is my problem too. I fix it already but another way.

Thank you so much,
Paul

Hellow everyone
Great mod this one... but I have a suggestion:


Can it be a check box in the search members option for each custom fields?
If i have a custom field named ,,year" to have the options to check ,,search by year"...
Can this be possible?

And one more suggestion...
Is it possible that some custom fields to appear in the sorting page of the member list so that I can sort by number or by alphabet?


Do you understand what are my suggestions?  
Thanks in advance for any answers

[Kindred]

adding this to the search would be fairly intensive...

and adding it to the member list is also difficult (among other reasons: because you don't necesarrily know the width of the fields...)
Adding it to the memberlist and sortable is even more complicated.

[shumilica]

 
ok...
what could be easy in this case?

Let me explain: my forum is for students from a faculty... and i let them choose, through custom fields, in what year they are (first custom field -dropdown) and what group they are(second custom field - dropdown). I want them to be able to search somebody from a year or from a specific group, so that they can find their colleagues from their year or group...
This is why I want this feature for this mod...
Do you suggest any other solution?

What kind of modifications will be? just php or php+sql? I am thinking to start learning php more instensive

[Kindred]

adding searhc functions would have to be php + SQL...

I am trying to add a CP field that displays a link to member gallery,
however the only way I can get it to work currently is to enter the member number.

That works but obviously members will have to find their member number, so it would be better if they could enter their name.  Plus on posts it only shows Gallery:  143 <--- member number,where I would like it to say name or just click here

any ideas how to achieve this?

http://www.mysite.com/forum/index.php?action=gallery;sa=myimages;u=%1

Or can I use CP field to just add a link on posts/profile that takes to the above url and requires no input?

I'm sure I'm missing something simple

[Kindred]

This is not a correct use of the Custom Profile fields, IMO

The link to a user's gallery is fixed, not information that a user should enter.

If I recall correctly, Goosemoose posted a way to modify display.template.php to add a gallery link to the user's coppermine gallery.

[perplexed]

actually I think I remember that, I will go search for it again. 

My thoughts for using it as a CP field were that if a member didnt enter the field then it wouldnt display on the posts/profile, rather than have the link display for everyone even if they have no gallery images

Thanks Kindred

Hi,
May be a dumb q? Is it possible to use the exsisting field members."location" Id like to make this compulsory for new members. I already have is showing under the users details when they post, just like to make sure all new members fill the field in...

thanks!

[Kindred]

that is not what this mod does...

to modify an existing field, you will have ot modify the code on your own...

[LowBear]

Probably a silly question, but I installed the mod, no errors but I can't find a place to set settings or whatsoever, not under options and features or so, what do I do wrong here ?

thanks
