Custom Profile Field Mod

[Kindred]

I will also note:  computers do not learn by repetition... they do the same thing every time.

So installing, un-installing reinstalling won't do anything (good) and could cause errors (sometimes mods don't completely uninstall.... especially if you had some hand-coded edits

i would really like this mod but...

Please try a search of this thread and/or the forum.  That single Test Fail just means you'll need to perform the mod code changes to that file manually.
Manual Installation of Mods

[tyhgdgh]

yes!
This mod is great!
now i dont need to manually add things....
Great mod!

[ericzad]

reinstalling didn't make a difference. I wiped the edited files (hand edits per install guide) and loaded saved/clean versions of the changed files.... then tried it again. no dice. Didn't get any errors or anything the "field" button never did show up... I guess with no comments I'll try it once more, perhaps I missed a hand edit mistake or something (twice).

[Rumbaar]

Are you sure it 100% correctly installed without any test failed errors?  Also if you are using a custom theme, like any mod, you need to add any applicable code to any applicable template files in that theme.

If you are using other then English you'll need to install the $txt[] strings into your language as well.

Are you using a theme other than the CORE default theme?  Are you using a language other than English?  You should only have to do 'hand edit' on Test failed files and applicable custom theme template files.

[Hozza]

i don't under stand it

i have installed it manually

i have added a text field called mood and it isn't appearing anywhere!

am i doing something wrong?

[Rumbaar]

Well you only need to add manual code to that one Test Failed file.  Did you use the Package Manager and then manually added the missing code to that one file?  Did you add it to any custom themes template files, if you're not using the default theme.  Did you translate and/or add the $txt[] to your forums language?

I'm sure the issue you are having is not an issue with this mod itself, but installation of mods in general.

[ericzad]

Yet another attempt. Ok, didn't hand edit anything this time, god do aI feed dumb..

Uninstalled everything again, NO errors.

Reinstalled one more time. 6-6 "Test Successful"'s.

Uploaded the custom profile and custom profile english. They're on the server, double checked that one..

And yet... nothing. Basic Features, Layout and Options, Karma.  That's it.

OK, maybe I'm just freekin' dense or something. What am I missing??

help..

[Rumbaar]

Firstly via the Package Manager and installation via this method you should not have to manually upload any files to the server.

Please link to your site, as I've asked three times what server language you are using but it hasn't been confirmed it is plain english.  You also haven't confirmed if you're using the CORE theme or not ...

[ericzad]

Got it to work... or  at least load up and becone visable. I did have to add -utf8 to the included english  file which is labeled  CustomProfile.english.php  it was looking for CustomProfile.english-utf8.php

Seems to be working, kinda. Although it's duplicating each field 3 times on the registration page! have to  look that one up ;-)

[Rumbaar]

Well it probably more viable to set your forum default language to English.  As for duplications it probably due to the number of times you've tried to install it and it added the code each time.

As for default server language please do a search for the pro and cons for that action.

[ericzad]

3 times the fun! Found the duplication in several files. Hope I got them all ;-)

That -utf8 issue has come up a couple times w/mods...

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!!

Is it possible to use images in selection field?

[w-dueck]

Ah, I don't know if anyone has requested this (I don't really fancy looking through 100-some pages), but would it be possible to have it display a column in the memberlist?

Is it possible to use images in selection field?

Code Select Expand

[img]%1[/img]     // Just make sure that Parse BBC is on and just supply a URL.

[Kindred]

it's been requested....   and the code about how to do it discussed and even posted...


However, it is unlikely that this mod will be further developed, since custom profile fields are built in, standard, with SMF 2.0

[Pwhheee]

So, i installed it but when i go to the features and options page all it shows is a blank page.

Anyone...?

[Rumbaar]

A blank pages as a whole, so no other options?  If that is the case you'll most likely have an error log entry.  Which also indicates the automated/manual edits to your (most likely) ModSettings.php file have not been performed correctly.  Try to access your backup of that file, perform the edits again manually (100% correctly) and see if that fixes your issue.

Is this mod work with SMF 1.1.6?

Is this mod work with SMF 1.1.6?

Search this thread, I'm sure that has been asked and answered so many times.  Also the benefit of searching is that you get an answer to your question almost instantaneously each time.  You can even limit to just this thread.
