Custom Profile Field Mod

[winrules]

What file does it give the error in and what other mods do you have installed?

[Mr. Doug]

No other mods at all...this was the first one I was putting in.

Can you try installing a different mod and see if it gives you the same error?

[Mr. Doug]

Yup...same error...

Time for a permissions check I guess.

[Mr. Doug]

Permissions on the Sources directory...

I'm sorry for the stupid posts. One of those days...

[winrules]

Did you get it fixed?

[Mr. Doug]

Yup...got it running. I'm not exactly using it for it's intended purpose, so I've had to mod a few things.

I'm using it to give 'badges' to people. KINDA like your Award mod, but a step or two further. Here is an example..

http://www.cameroncollector.com/forum/index.php/topic,10873.0.html

I'm using them like Military ribbons. I give them out for attending events, being good members, and even a few for other random things (Like being my first member, being a Lucky SOB, Being my Dad...)

I'd LOVE a way to tie it in to member-groups, but I think that's asking a lot, and I can do it this way for now.

What I'm doing is making them checkboxes, and having HTML code to put an image in when it's checked. I modified the code to get rid of the "Definition: Value" stuff on the post-show.

[winrules]

You could use the stars in membergroups and the Show multiple badges mod.

[Mr. Doug]

I thought about that...but I liked your mod better.

Its easier to do them next to each other with yours.

I installed the mod (3.15), and it simply doesn't show up in the Features and Options section. Installation seems to have gone fine: I uploaded the zip, says it extracted it successfully, then installed it successfully. No errors that I could see. The only time I get an error is when I go to unistall it. Then, I get

" Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF. "

The only change from vanilla SMF that I'm running is the SlickPro Graphite theme. But even when I switch to the default theme, still nothing shows up. I'm a newbie to SMF, and installing mods in particular, so I might have overlooked something basic.

[Rictor]

Tried all sorts of things with folder and file permission, but to no avail. Has anyone had similar problems?

[winrules]

Can you pm me your modsettings.php?

[Bluebair]

Hi,

I'm looking for this mod a long time, just upgraded to SMF 1.08
Any options for installation on 1.08 in the near future, or know another mod of this kind?


Thanks.

[winrules]

No, but you can follow [Unknown]'s tutorial..

Hi winrules,

Many thanks for creating this extremely useful mod.

I have an idea which I don't know whether is it possible with Custom Profile Fields, ie. besides text box, check box and selection box, is it possible to add a 4th box for maths?

This can be used for any points system. It can contain a selection fields on the left, [x/+-] selection in the middle and points box to the right. For example

[Total Time Spent Online]            [x] [ ]points
[Total Posts]                              [x] [ ] points
[Total Topics Started]                  [x] [ ]points
[Number of Votes Cast]               [x] [ ]points
[Total Time Online]                     [x] [ ]points
[Total number of days registered] [x] [ ]points
[Manually add]                           [+] [ ]points
[Manually minus]                        [-] [ ]points

All the points are added up and a figure shown in members profile (and/or) under their name in the posts as points (or any name to be worded by admin) - just like the other custom profile fields.

Do you mean so you could ajust the value?

Ok, I've read about 20 pages in this topic and haven't seen it so here is my request :

Could you make it possible for the custom field to be displayed in the member list ?

That is planned for future versions

Sweet ... and what's the projected time frame on this specific setting ?
