this does work on 3.5.4.... but it causes my members not to be able to login...at all even after they change it, but when i tested it...it worked...

Good idea!

Tried to try it but after telling me to eedit my profile it told me my password was old and had to be changed. If I click to change , the message keeps comming back and nothing happens. I am stuck on the " change your password" page. Any ideas?

I came here wanting to ask the same question. Can this be used to force folks to pick (or upload) an avatar? That's precisely what I am looking for, but don't know how to make this work with that "field."

Anyone have this properly working under 3.5.4?

I have it on 3.5.4. No complaints so far.

using it and its awesome but how hard would it be to make it check for birthdate instead of a profile field?

i instelled it but it doesn't work.. does it need activation or something?
i'm on 3.5.4

I used it on 3.5.4 and it worked flawlessly. Which version did you use? and are you sure you have a required profile field?

product vB353 force profile update 1.xml

this is the product i downloaded. i installed it from the product manager and i am pretty sure that new registrations require birthday.
i went to my profile and cleared by DOB. after that i logged out and when i logged back in it didn;t required me to do anything. I also tried it with a test account, that has no admin/moderator proviledges

it doesnt work on birthdates only the custom required fields

we were trying to use it for the same thing but now have resolved to making a custom field asking if they were over 18 and just trusting the members. Also if you make it in the same area as the DOB it makes them enter a DOB

how exactly do i ask fro DOB? what are the steps?

well we created a new radio field called "Are you 18 years of age or older?" with two options Yes and No. We made it a required field which is editable at anytime and placed it in the edit profile area. We also have DOB set up and only editable on register. Now if someone already has registered and has entered their DOB this hack will force them to go to the profile page and they have to fill out both DOB and and the new custom field.

Does this work on 3.6 ?

Same here...I made the edits but it keeps asking me to make them again, can't view the forum till I disabled it.

No need to install this on 3.6 - it's built into it.

where at ?
I added some profile fields after about 100 users have signed up, and they are required fields. yet no one is updating..

thank you

Yea where at?:confused:

If you go to the "User Profile Fields" => "User Profile Manager" and edit one of your fields, then you'll see these options:

Since I installed vb3.6:

But it doesn't force them to update that field until they want to touch their profile.

I just created a field, using that in 3.6.4, and I can do as I please..

This hack forces members to update this "new" field before moving onto anything..

Correct me if I'm wrong..

I cant seem to get the required field for old users to work either

**** To get this to work with the Date of birth Field ****

First I made it mandatory for members to fill out their age. Then I simply added a new profile field that asked their age range, I added several and made them also mandatory. Then when this Plugin makes then edit the custom field they are now in their profile and they have to edit their date of birth also.

Sorry if this may have been posted, saw it asked several times and may have missed this solution.

Its works on 3.6.7?

Any updates for vb 3.6.8 ?

this doesnt look like it works for 3.6.8..

edit:
i take it back, it suddenly started working for no apparent reason!

How did you do?

I can not manage to success!!!! :(

works on 3.6.8 great. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks. Just imported the 3.5.3 as a product checked my profile fields as being required and editable and all is good.

Any updates for 3.7.0. ??

works 100% in 3.6.8.PL2

Same here, i really need this one.

Does this work for 3.7B6? Would love to know. Thanks, rg.

Why don't you guys try it and let everyone else know if it works?

Yeah, last time I did that, I had to hire a programmer/coder to fix it, I'm not a programmer, or coder, but a bit of a webmaster, and sometimes I get in over my head. I've hired at least three coders or more from here in the past two weeks. I don't mind paying, but with five kids, I have to watch the pennies too. (grin) You guys are the experts, I prefer to hear it from you so I don't break things again. I know enough html to be dangerous.

BTW, as a former Army Soldier and Desert Storm vet (my bio at Wiki), I always love seeing your signature. Thanks, rg sends! (sends is a military old commo thing, fyi)

As with most products, if it doesn't work, I disable it and then uninstall it. I haven't tried this yet as I'm not fond of the hack. I keep getting nailed with it on test boards when I am trying to help someone fix something. Very frustrating. ;)

Thanks for the sig comment. Not many notice that or even know what it means. And yes, sir, I know sends. 'Nam Vet here. ;)

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. I salute you for your service too, in my blog I always mention our veterans, past and present and never fail to say thanks to service members in uniform when I travel. Sometimes I miss, sometimes I don't, but I don't regret it either. Thanks, and I do love all the help you give here, I've read many hacks/mods, some I've installed, other's I haven't, but I see your interaction a lot and that helps. All the best, rg sends!

I don't have a real life. ;)

Thank you for the nice words. It's hearing things like that that make it all worthwhile. ;)

3.7? Am I missing something here? vBulletin 3.7 already does this. Just set the field requirement to "Always". When an existing member logs in, they get a message and it will take them to the page they must edit.

Cool! Thanks! I didn't know that. That's what I get for going from 3.5 to 3.7. ;)

That does not apply to admin? I did like you said, logged out and logged back in as admin, and nothing ...

even when I uninstall the product its still apper
