register.php
 

Please forgive me if this post is in the wrong place. Mods, please move to the appropriate forum. Thanks!

I want to display these variables in the error_moderateuser template.
- custom user field # 5
- custom user field # 6
- the user's email address

By doing a lot of searching and reading, I now understand that I must edit one of my php files. Specifically, I need to change the register.php file, according to the "vBulletin 2.0 Template Reference" in the members area.

Question is... exactly what changes do I make to register.php?

Thanks for any help!

Just clarifying... the only change I need to make to register.php is just so I can access those particular variables from within the error_moderateuser template. I'm guessing this is something really simple, like from a "php 101" class... LOL... but I'm truly a newbie. So, thanks for any help! :)

You can edit the template and use variables like:

$bbuserinfo[email] for the email address.
$bbuserinfo[field5] for the field 5
$bbuserinfo[field6] for the field 6.

Is that what you want?

Julian, thanks for your response! :) I tried putting the following code into the error_moderateuser template, to see what would happen...

field 5 = $bbuserinfo[field5] < br>
field 6 = $bbuserinfo[field6] < br>
email = $bbuserinfo[email] < br>

But, it didn't work. The following output was displayed on the screen...

field 5 =
field 6 =
email =

The variables didn't work. Anyone know how to hack the register.php file, in order to make those variables accessible in the error_moderateuser template? Thanks again for any help!

Oh. Now I understand.

It doesn't work with the above variables because those variables aren't created when the user signup.

Instead, you must use the variables submitted by the registration form...

Like this

Field 5 = $field5
Field 6 = $field6
email = $email

Hope this helps.

Nope, still didn't work. :(

Here's the code I put into the error_moderateuser template...

Field 5 = $field5 < br>
Field 6 = $field6 < br>
email = $email < br>

And, I'm attaching a photo of what the output looks like.
Please keep the ideas coming, though! Thanks!

OK. Let's take a look:

Do you have email verification activated?

Sorry, I was out doing chores, and I have to run out again. Do you mean you want to try registering on my board? It's a private board, so I can't post the URL.

Can you try putting that code in your error_moderateuser template? Or is there another way I can help you troubleshoot?

No, I don't want to register on your board.

The problem is that the solution above won't work if you have email verification activated. To get the custom profile fields in error_moderateuser, you will have to hack register.php a little.

Try this:


Find this:

After it, add:

Now in error_moderateuser, to display the email you can use $userinfo[email] and for the custom profile fields, use $userprofile[field6], $userprofile[field7], etc....

Tell me if it works.

Here's the new code in the register.php file.
Here's the code I put into the error_moderateuser template.
And here's what was displayed by the error_moderateuser template.

[color=sky blue] field 5 = Jane Doe
field 6 = 123
username = test
email = my-email-address@my-domain.com
==================
field 5 =
field 6 =
email =
==================
field 5 =
field 6 =
email = my-email-address@my-domain.com
==================

Thank you for registering, test. [/color]



In summary, these variables worked.

• field 5 = $bbuserinfo[field5]
  
• field 6 = $bbuserinfo[field6]
  
• username = $bbuserinfo[username]
  username = $username
  
• email = $bbuserinfo[email]
  email = $userinfo[email]

As long as the data is being displayed correctly,
does it matter which variables I use?
BTW, thanks for all your help.
It's such a great feeling to be making progress! :)
