What are Profile Field Tags?

- Simple, I will give an example :)

BEFORE THIS MOD

Interests; games, pc, video games, doom

AFTER THIS MOD

Interests; games (http://www.hardwareforums.com/memberlist.php?do=getall&field3=games), pc (http://www.hardwareforums.com/memberlist.php?do=getall&field3=pc), video games (http://www.hardwareforums.com/memberlist.php?do=getall&field3=video+games), doom (http://www.hardwareforums.com/memberlist.php?do=getall&field3=doom)

As you can see they Words are now are linked, so making it easier to users to search for users with similar interest.

How to install?

- Just like any other product, import the .xml file you download

How to upgrade from the 3.6 version

- Uninstall the old version, install this one.

any shot or demo, Sniper? :)

[-=Sniper=-]

I think my example explains what this does.

[BWJ]

Sniper - You are my hero! :up: :D

So far it seems to work... but I have not yet tested thoroughly. Nominated.

[Phooey]

Neat idea, thanks!

[Hornstar]

Thanks, makes it a little more useful now.

[Defkalion]

This can develop in a fantastic add-on for VB. Many thanks to the author. Seems to be working ok in my 3.7. :)

One question only:

It makes profile fields linked only in memberinfo pages. Can it do the same also inside postbit and memberlist?

[BWJ]

I found a tiny bug: When you have a 'Single-Line Text Box' it displays the input correct and the inputs are clickable - but it also shows other user fields based on 'Single-line text box' on every users profile page - which they didn't filled out.

In other words:

User fields:
1) Your car
2) Your pet

User A: inputs only his car - which is shown correctly but he didn't input anything about his pet. But user field 2's question/title is still shown on his profile page.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

thanks! been wwaiting for this.
great job..simple and useful. :)


<< hope there is a fix for the bug ;)

[sinucello]

Hi,

great improvement, thanks very much. Nominated of course.

Little improvement suggestion but probably difficult to realize:
some german umlauts can be spelled in different ways.

Example:
?
or
ss

Like in Fussball (Soccer). It can also be spelled like this: Fu?ball

Others:
? = ae
? = oe
? = ue

So two queries should be launched:
http://www.domain.com/forum/members/list/?field3=fu%DFball
http://www.domain.com/forum/members/list/?field3=fussball

vBSEOs rewriting code must have a snippet for it somewhere.

all the best,
Sacha

I really like this mod...

however, whenever I click one of the profile 'tags' it returns 1325 members - regardless of whether there is a match or not.

For example, here is the link that is produced:

http://www.domain.com/forums/memberlist.php?do=getall&field3=travel

No matter what field 3 contains (or any other field for that matter), it results in 1325 members being returned (out of over 14,000).

It appears to have installed correctly, but doesn't appear to be working as designed - at least for me.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

[Endurer]

Great, I've been looking for it ever since I dropped vsinteractive profiles - this one does the job for me.

Installed.

[shlomot]

Thank you so much for this yet another leapfrog towards a community, at the cost of a single-step and painless installation.

Nominated, Voted, Installed with gratitude.

However: multi-line fields are not being analyzed for matches, and this is only a week after I converted most single-line text into text-area in order to encourage our members to be more expressive and verbose on their profile page, which is another necessity of successful social networks.

Also: In response to the German bit about different writing variations, maybe you can use the translation feature to accomplish just that, i.e. "forum", "forums", and "Foorumi" will become one, as "astrology", "astrologic", "astrological", "astro", etc.

Thank you so much again for this great implementation of a must-have functionality.

[elmati]

Installed :)

thanks a lot!

[hilfe-forum]

very useful modification :up:

what can i do to make not searchable profile fields not linked?

[Subah]

Great idea thanks :)

[VargTimmen]

Great Mod, but nearly every Profilefield is linked, but the interests not. Fix?

Same here. What it is doing is giving you the matches and all null fields.

Thanks again!

[BWJ]

I hope for an update... ;)

[Booth]

Ditto... ;)

[Endurer]

Any updates on this one?

[htscpl]

I liked the previous mod that did the same but with options and I have installed this one but would really like an update. Just the same THANKS for your good work.

[ErrorLog]

Thank You ..

[TheInsaneManiac]

I like it, but I do not want to make the tags show up for all fields. Just the interests.

[Cocko]

Installed.

Me too would like to have an upgrade for
- "umlauts" ("&auml;" etc)
- limit which filds are clickable.
- clickalbe tags in multiline fields

thanx.

-Jason

are the fields marked as searchable?

[-=Sniper=-]

update coming today sometime

[The Chief]

Thanks for the update. amazing work!

[MissKalunji]

update working perfectly :) Thanks

[BWJ]

Thank you for your update! Unfortunately not all kind of types of fields works with special characters.

Single line textbox = works okay
Multiple line textbox = works okay

The rest have the same two bugs:
1) E.g. the letter ? becomes %F8
2) two words or more has a '+' inbetween like: "word1+word2" instead of "word1 word2"

So the bugs goes for: Multiple selection menu, Radio buttons, single selection menu and check boxes...

I hope that is an easy fix as these things didn't occur in the 2007 version. I doubled tested on a fresh install and with an established site.

Other than that your hack is for sure one of the most usefull. I have waited for an update for months.... :D

[TheInsaneManiac]

Great job!

[BWJ]

Okay, carefully reading your introduction text - you have not promised more than multiple line textbox... Hopefully the rest of the types will also work some day....

its more of a language problem, if you remove the urlecode function from the xml it should fix the problem but if you don't know how, let me know and I'll post one without url encode (which adds the + sign etc)

[Defkalion]

Hi this is a great mod.

Is it possible that the profile fields can be links in memberlist and postbit also?

Sorry, I don't have any clue how to do it. This is right now the only thing holding me back using it. It would be wonderful if you could help me with this.

memberlist done, postbit I *might* do if I get sometime.

[BWJ]

It works fantastic now! Thank you, thank you.... thank you.... :up:
Memberlist ?! - I have seen people being asking about this before - for years - and as far as I know - no one have yet created a mod "tagging" user fields in the member list. You have done it in a few hours!! A shame I cannot nominate two times....

[ThorstenA]

Thanks! I love this mod :D Nominated for MOTM

[nerofix]

Hmm.. I followed the install instructions, but after, nothing happens.. any ideas? Do the mod work with custom profile fields in memberinfo?

[ThorstenA]

You must enter custom profile field number in admincp > settings > vProfile

[nerofix]

You must enter custom profile field number in admincp > settings > vProfile
That's what I did, but nothing happens.
I think it is because I got custom profile fields directly in the memberinfo template and not in any block! I assume your plugin is not ready for this... Could you fix it, so it will work in profile fields outside of a block?

Here's my code in the memberinfo tempate:
<if condition="$userinfo[field13] != ''">
<p>
<div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width=100%">
<tr valign="top">
<td class="alt1" width="23%">&nbsp;$vbphrase[field13_title]:</td>

<td class="alt1" width="77%">
$userinfo[field13]

</td>


</tr>
</table>
</div>
</if>

Even if it enter field 13 in the vProfile Tag options, no changes happens. Perhaps you have the time to test it and update your mod.

[nerofix]

Sniper can you reproduce this bug?

[valdet]

Thanks. I will try this one soon.

[Oblivion Knight]

This is perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! :)

[NetRover]

Thank you, working on 3.8.2

I've never used tags before so I wondered should they show automatically on showthread or not?

They appear on my search page, but maybe I need a mod to have them on showthread automatically?

[mgcom]

Nice one

[nnStaff]

I had this very idea in mind and was hoping that somebody had already come up with it, THANK YOU!

I don't know if you'd be willing to revisit this, but if it would also match up interests with social groups that would be amazing.

[farazfaraz]

Installed

[Tiberonmagnus]

Is there a way... so that when a male (set by profile field) clicks on one of the vprofile links that it only displays women with those results, and vice versa?

[PixelFx]

any chance of adding this for vb 4.0.2+?

[SHalliday]

Fantastic! I have been looking for something like this for years. Install was super easy and works like a charm. Thank you!

[sinucello]

Hi,

it would be great if someone with more PHP knowledge than me could take a look at the few lines of code in this add-on and convert it for vB4 like described here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078

I failed to do so but will try again when I can catch a PHP programmer to support me.

thank you - all the best,
Sacha

@sinucello this hack works fine on the profile page for VB 4.x but not the member-list page (which you can disable for now), I'll see if I can fix it.

you can disable the member-list by going to plugin manager; search for "where all the crazy magic is done on the memberlist" and untick the checkbox and save.

[sinucello]

yes, I know but what sense does this add-on make without the memberlist? When I click on one of the interests in a profile, the memberlist is called to display the search result. Without the memberlist you just have linked interests without any use. Or is there some other setting I`m not aware of?

all the best,
Sacha

[-=Sniper=-]

@sinucello originally this hack only worked on the profile page so makes sense to me... anyway regardless I have it working on VB4, will release it sometime next week if not on the weekend.

[adwade]

We LOST this functionality recently, when we upgraded from vB3.6.4 to 3.8.6. :( It was a KEY part of our board, and I was wondering exactly what-to-do? :confused: But I just 'tripped' across this revision that does work with our latest install of vB! :D So happy are we! Yee-Haw! THANXX so much for having taken the time to code this Sniper!
