How to...
 
1. Add a minumum character input that a user has to add when filling in the profile field: Location?

2. Update all users profile field: Location-> to blank, no info?

3. Make the profile field: Location, only show in the postbit if info was entered. If nothing is entered, it won't display.

Thanks in advance!

3.try this one
open functions.php find:
PHP Code:
if ($post[aim]!="") {
            eval("\$post[aimicon] = \"".gettemplate("aim")."\";");
        } else {
            $post[aim]=""; 
below it add:
PHP Code:
if ($post[field2]) {
                        $location="Location: $post[field2]<br>";
                } else {
                        $location="";
                } 
and put $location in postbit whatever u want...

for 1:
in register.php it will work somehow similar, but i'll show you how to do in member.php :)

find that:
PHP Code:
    $varname="field$profilefield[profilefieldid]";
    if ($profilefield[required] and $$varname=="")
    {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_requiredfieldmissing")."\");");
      exit;
    } 
and change to:
PHP Code:
    $varname="field$profilefield[profilefieldid]";
    if (($profilefield[required] and $$varname=="") or ($profilefieldid == 2 and $$varname != "" and strlen($$varname)<5))
    {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_requiredfieldmissing")."\");");
      exit;
    } 
that will disallow all inputs smaller than lenght of 5 except no input :)

Unless its a required field, no?

Xenon 03-10-2003 04:50 PM
it has nothing to do with the required state :)
it's jsut for field id2 :)

Wouldn't this just give them the required field message missing jargon if they inputed less than 5 characters? How would they know it was because they entered less characters than required?

Xenon 03-10-2003 04:54 PM
it was jsut the fast way ;)

you can of course create a new errortemplate and change the one if clause into too if needed :)

But if it were a required field to fill in, they wouldn't be able to leave it blank.
PHP Code:

I'm assuming you mean by no input leaving the filed empty?

Xenon 03-10-2003 05:38 PM
if it's a required field, it shouldn't be able to left blank right?

filburt1 03-10-2003 05:42 PM
Required fields can't be blank at registration. You can set it to blank via the admin CP IIRC though.

Smoothie 03-10-2003 08:18 PM
Is it possible to configure this in the admin cp, under custom profile fields? There is a maximum input line, would it be possible to add a minumum input line?

filburt1 03-10-2003 08:23 PM
Not without hacking. You've come to the right place, though :p

Ok, seems a though I won't have much help in getting this integrated into the admin cp. How about steering me in the right direction so I can call another template if users input less than the required amount of characters. :)

Xenon 03-11-2003 09:54 AM
this :)

PHP Code:
$varname="field$profilefield[profilefieldid]";
    if ($profilefield[required] and $$varname=="")
    {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_requiredfieldmissing")."\");");
      exit;
    } else if ($profilefieldid == 2 and $$varname != "" and strlen($$varname)<5) {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_notenoughchars")."\");");
      exit;
} 
now create the new template error_notenoughchars :)

Smoothie 03-11-2003 04:59 PM
Thank you Xenon! :)

Smoothie 03-11-2003 05:07 PM
Does the character limit apply to any? So a user could enter something like *#^@! in the locattion field? Is there a way to make it so it has to be actual letters?

Maybe it's me, but after I add that code in to member.php and then go to my profile, edit, change my location to only 3 characters, it still allows it.
