I don't think this is a hack suggestion but i want to make some more things mandatory when people come to sign up on the board.

Such as? I just made it mandatory for my members to remain visible when on the boards. What did you need help with?

Cygnus

such as location

As in... whether they are invisible or not?

If that is the case, there are a few simple steps to follow:

In the template(s) registeradult & registercoppa (if you use it):

Below the FORM tag (anywhere, really as long as it is below the form tag) put the following:

<input type="hidden" name="invisible" value="no">

Then, go comment out the row which gives them the option to choose 'yes' or 'no'.

Follow the same step in the template: modifyprofile

Now... to change the values on people who have already registered, I did mine by hand by searching the database with queries and editing the fields. Of course.... I only had a few members (100 or so) to edit so it wasn't a big deal. If you have more, you may want to go ask for an easy way to do this in the MySQL forum.

Edit to add: Upon reading your post again, now I believe that you are asking how to make it so that the location field is a required field to fill out. Since this is in the Biography textarea, I am not sure that I could help you easily.

Hopefully, you wanted the invisible thing.... :)

Thanks,
Cygnus
