Changing REQUIRED REGISTRATION information?????

[voclain]

I was searching the HACKS tonight, and came across this HACK:

http://www.vbulletin.org/hacks/index.php?s=&action=showhack&hackid=552

This got me to thinking....I have almost 2000 registered members...I would LOVE to FORCE them to tell me WHERE they are from!!!

IN other words, I want to make "LOCATION" in my registration page, REQUIRED information!!

So..this HACK can help me do that to all of the EXISTING members, but HOW do I change that in the REGISTRATION page to make it REQUIRED??????

HELP....??? And thanks for your help.

This is already in the admin CP, poke around.

Check out the custom profile fields section in the ACP :)

It allows you to edit the Location field and make it required ;)

Hi Gez,

To add custom user fields to display in the threads:

Setup your custom fields first.
Hover over the edit link in MODIFY and you'll see the profilefieldid number for that field. It will show up in the status bar of your web browser.
Go into Modify Templates
Expand the Default set of Templates and find the template called postbit
Look for an area that has

<smallfont>Registered: $post[joindate]<br>
Location: $post[field2]<br>
Posts: $post[posts]<br></smallfont></td>

Add your custom field after it. Mine looks like this after adding the custom field where I want it to display:

<smallfont>Registered: $post[joindate]<br>
Location: $post[field2]<br>
Posts: $post[posts]<br>
Car: $post[field5]</smallfont></td>


Hope that helps!
