Custom Profile Field Mod

[TeaTephi]

Great Mod!  Needed a Biography field, but it's not long enough.  How do I add more characters or a larger area?
Thanks!

Okay I have set up the field, but can I access it through SSI.php. Can it appear in one of the arrays?

Thanks,

I have read this thread as much as possible, searched, everything.

It installed great, I've created a field, and everything. However, although I've selected the option, the field will not show up under the post count in posts!

Please help or direct me somewhere ASAP... Thank you very much!

I am using version 1.1.7.

@darrenbeige Not without some coding, not sure if it's been done within this thread already.  Try a search.

@akateisakate You must put all applicable mod code into all applicable non CORE default theme template files.  You're most likely using a custom theme and haven't put the code in.  This is the same for any mod.

I installed this on a fresh 1.1.7 as well. The only mod I have installed is the Referrer mod. Everything seemed to work (I made sure to change my language to English instead of English-UTF), except when I create fields it will only create text fields!! I choose checkbox or selection and then settings and it only comes up with the specifications for text fields. I tried IE as well as Firefox. I know the Referrer mod does some crazy things with the Profile so maybe that's why it's messed up>? I'm trying to create a "singles site" so a profile with lots of info like Favorite books, what ur looking for, etc would be really useful. Any ideas, appreciated...


Question: When you choose say "Selection" and then click on "Settings" what does the URL looklike? Mine always says http://mysite.com/index.php?action=featuresettings;sa=profile;cp=2 [nofollow] no matter the type

Where exactly does it know you're changing the TYPE.

What code changes?

hello, i have a question please..

in our forum we have a navigationbar like a dropdownmenu and included a point for profile
and we have some custom profile fields

now i want to set a link in the profile-dropdown-menu to one of these special profile fields

i think it´s necessary to inform that there is another link inside of custom profile field
every user has their own board and the link in the c-profile-field get you to this board
so the link in the navi-bar should bring every user to the own board

i hope you understand what i want and help me coding the link

thx for answers

After finally getting the "selection box" to work, I have a problem with the placement. I want the user to choose from 5 images, but I just want the images to show up next to the other images in the profile when posting. I don't need the words, just the image (which I did as bbcode). There's no option for the "selection box" add-on to place next to the other images like the text one. Is there a simple way to give that option?


Thanks
Chris

This is a great mod and have a couple questions, or help that is. I downloaded the mod when I was using the classic template and it worked great with exception that I wanted the field name not visible under the post count, but the answer visible.

My main problem now is that I went to the Extreme 6 template and the stuff does not show up over there anymore. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mod and it still does not display it. Any help on these two points? At least the last one..


Update: the info is showing up in the profile section of the pm's but not in the regular postings on the board...

As with ANY custom theme, you will have to manually install any parts of ANY mod that install into a template file that exist in the custom theme...

i.e. in your case, I assume that display.template.php exists in your theme, and profile.template.php does not. So, you will have ot manually install the modifications into deisplay.template.php in order to get it it show on your posts.

(side note: This question is answered at least a dozen times in nearly every mod thread. Please try using search?)

[woodsters]

I did use serach and after 15 minutes or so did not see an answer that I understood....I also don't know how to install the modifications into the display thing. Remember, we are all not coders here...

As with all mods you'll need to install applicable code into applicable custom theme template files for it them to work in non default CORE themes.

How do i blend the profile area so the custom text ie the xblgt and psnid fields look like the other fields?

Cheers

[Rumbaar]

That's a theme related issue, and you'll need to address that possibly with the themes author.  But take a look at the Display.template.php of that custom theme and alter the containing style to match the other areas.  It will probably be a single cell containing all the fields and not separate ones for each entry.

Just an FYI.  I run version 1.17.  Your mod installed easily and works great!
Thanks as I had been looking for something like this for a while!

Hi,

I'm running smf 1.1.7 on my site, and I've installed Custom Profile Field Mod with no errors.

The problem is that I don't find where the options are. I've searched on "Features and Options" but I haven't found anything regarding this mod.

My default language is portuguese utf-8, could this be the problem?

Although I find strange that the package installs ok and then nothing appears on admin panel/features and options

All help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
ENRESINADO

Problem solved, thanks anyway.

Great mod. I'm using it with 1.1.7

I'm having some problem though. It seems like when I make a select field with a lot of options, these said options will overflow into the other select fields. Or in other words, they show up as options on other fields.

I wonder if anyone else is having this problem?

Oh, and I was wondering where are the values in the custom fields are stored. I can't seem to find them in the mysql database.

Thanks

[Kindred]

values are stores in the themes table...      (which has been stated a number of times in this thread)

I have just installed this mod on a 1.1.7 board and I have problems. I tried to create a location field for new members registering.

On the Custom Profile Field 1 Settings I changed the Name Field for Unnamed Field to Location
.
Show field on registration? Setting was changed to Force Input
And then saved

There is no sign of an extra field in the registration. The only sign of the mod having any changes on the board is in the Members Profile where it displays Unnamed Field

It's an easy mod script to do and I have added the additional files. So any ideas what I am doing wrong?
