I think it would be nice to have validations in text fields.
For example length => max chars allowed to enter by user

Not all users have good intentions and they are allowed to enter a lot of chars now because there is no limit.

Will this work with the 2.0 Beta 3.1?

I can't answer your question, but there is no need for it in 2.0 - custom profile fields are part of the core functionality of the software.

There are one or two less options, but for most purposes it's just fine.

Hi,

I have been using SMF for a week or so now and find it really good, I'm just at a point where I need to ask if something can be done.

I have added the "Custom Profile Field Mod" for registration and I'd like to use a check box, if checked then member registering would be added to a specific member group but this would have to first be confirmed by Admin. If it wasn't checked then they would be added as a normal Newbie automatically without Admin interaction.

This option would be used for the new member to select whether they are a member of a paid up club or not.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Is there any way to have the search function search the profile fields? (existing and added)
I would like my members to be able to search other members by keywords that  have entered into their profiles. (sports, schools, location, hobbies, etc.)
I'm not much of a coder, but I think it's just a matter of adding a keyword search,  to the search that already exists.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello:
I'm a newbie here. - Hope you can help

I need to run the Custom Profile Field Mod in Brazilian, however i can only make it work in English. I tried both Brazilian and Brazilian utf8

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I am using the SMF default theme core 1.1.5

Rumbaar

Take all the English $txt[] strings installed by the mod and add them to the Brazillian equivalent language files.  Translate the text to your needs.  If you are using both versions 'plain' and UTF8 you'll need to put them in both languages.

I've installed the custom profile field mod and it shows installed and tested successful; however, I do not see anything on my administration page to set up the custom fields?  What am I doing wrong?

Rumbaar

Check your forums default language and see if it's not 'English', if it's different.  Either set it to English (not English-utf8) or make sure you have inserted/converted the $txt[] strings to your forums default language/s.

It will currently work with the latest version of SMF 1.1.5, or if you are referring to 2.x then that version already has a version of this incorporated into it's core functionality.

2 questions:

1)  Before I knew about this mod I went and changed the members table and added my own fields in the table.  Will this mod overwrite the a current field or if a field is created already with the same name just leave it?

So what I am asking is, if I want to add say a user address field so it will show up in thier profile, but I have already created the address field, will this mod just use that current field?

2)  Is there a way to delete certain field from peoples profile.  Like ICQ and AIM, all my members will never use them.  Any thoughts?

Ok guys I have tried looking through all 105 pages of support but I cant see where im going wrong, I have installed  Custom Profile Field Mod on SMF 1.1.5, it all seems to install with no errors bit I cant find where to setup and edit fields, In features & Options but it dont seem to be there,,

Please guys what am i doing wrong????  :-\

Rumbaar

@ ninedoors
1.  This mod will us it's own settings and data and wont interfer or affect any other fields.
2. This isn't the place for that type of support, as it's not related to this mod.  Do a search, there should be plenty of threads on how to remove certain details from template files.

@ TheNostradamus
Do all other mods install okay?  Did you install all the $txt[] strings for your forums language?  This mod will only install into the default theme and then only in 'plain' english.  If you server settings are anything different to this you'll need to install the strings to those language files.

I installed the mod, and it says it installed successfully, but nothing is showing up in "Features and Options". Is there a way in fixing this?
