REQUEST: Make required userfields UNeditable

[Goyko]

Request for VB3 - [RC2]

Hi there,

I have some user profile fields which are required to be filled in during the registration.

In order to provide this I have to set the field attributes to "required" and "editable".

So far so good...

Now for the problem:

For security reasons I want to have my users fill in their location during the registration process.
But I don't want them to be able to edit this field afterwards, because they could change it to something useless then.

Is there a way how to do that or someone willing to try making a hack for this?
IMHO it would be useful for a lot of board admins out there ;)

Any idea or hint would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Goyko

No one needs this function?
No one has an idea, how to ensure this?
:disappointed:

Sorry for bothering, but really no one has the need for uneditable required fields?
Guys you must have nice users, if not. ;)

For me this function is vital, because I'm running a board with nearly 8.000 members, roughed up by a handful of trolls, who drive me crazy!

Everyone interested, who speaks german, take a look here (http://www.smart-forum.de/modules.php?op=modload&name=Forum&file=viewforum&forum=49) and you will understand what I mean. :(

So.. I would really appreciate ANY hint, how to get this user profile field problem solved!

Thanks and best regards...

btw: Meanwhile it's a request for the RC3 :)

I might take a stab at it.

We had the same problem and solved it this way:

In register.php

Find


$profilefields = $DB_site->query("
SELECT maxlength, profilefieldid, required, title, size, type, data, optional
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
WHERE editable = 1


Change it to

$profilefields = $DB_site->query("
SELECT maxlength, profilefieldid, required, title, size, type, data, optional
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
WHERE editable = 1 OR required<>0


Find


$profilefields = $DB_site->query("
SELECT *
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
WHERE editable=1 AND required <> 0
ORDER BY displayorder
");


Change it to

$profilefields = $DB_site->query("
SELECT *
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
WHERE required <> 0
ORDER BY displayorder
");

Hi KirbyDE,

you definetly saved my day!!!

That was exactly how I wanted it!
A required field showing up at registration time (no matter what "editable" option it has) and after that never again, except in the ACP for the Admin!

Great work!
Thanks a lot!

Best regards...
