Setting custom user profile fields with datamanager

[christian.cloug]

I'm putting together a page that's an extension of the registration process and updates certain custom user profile fields...

i've done my best to search these forums to put the code together, and think i'm almost there, but could really use some help going the final distance!

Currently I get the following error 'Fatal error: Field field2 is not defined in $validfields in class vB_DataManager_User in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 515', with the code below:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
    'cfield_2' => TYPE_NOHTML,
    'cfield_6' => TYPE_INT,
    'cfield_7' => TYPE_INT
));


$userdata =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY); 
$userdata->set_existing($vbulletin->userinfo);

$userdata->set('field2', $vbulletin->GPC['cfield_2']); 
$userdata->set('field6', $vbulletin->GPC['cfield_6']); 
$userdata->set('field7', $vbulletin->GPC['cfield_7']);


$newusergroupid = 9;
$userdata->set('usergroupid', $newusergroupid);


$userdata->pre_save(); 


if (!empty($userdata->errors)) 
{ 
    $errorlist = ''; 
    foreach ($userdata->errors AS $index => $error) 
    { 
        $errorlist .= "<li>$error</li>"; 
    } 
     
    // ... additional code; $errorlist is outputted to the user 
} 
else 
{ 
    // save the data 
    $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] 
        = $userid 
        = $userdata->save(); 
         
    // ... additional processing code 
} 


So 'field2' doesn't seem to be valid (even though that's the name of the column in the database and when you do '{vb:raw bbuserinfo.field2}')...should i call it by a different syntax? or do i need to define things in $validfields (the documentation does not explain how exactly this is done)?

I would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction here!
