Location 'Undisclosed'.

[Davey]

I couldn't find this within about 6 pages of the request forum.
Basically, I'm using a table in the postbit now, and the location field is sometimes left blank, which means the table is not complete.
I was wondering how to make the location as 'Undisclosed' by default.
Sorry if this has already been requested but I'm in a foul mood tonight and I didn't want to search further than 2 pages.

use phpMyAdmin to change the field's default to "Undisclosed"

[Davey]

Which gives me an idea, I'll just add value="Undisclosed" in the registration templates and set the field to "must be completed" thanks mr e.

Better yet, do this:

Open functions.php -

Find:

PHP Code:

    if ($post[avatarid]!=0) {
            $avatarurl=$post[avatarpath];
        } else {
            if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {
                $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[avatardateline]";
            } else {
                $avatarurl="";
            }
        } 


Below add:

PHP Code:

            if ($post[field2]=="") {
            $post[field2] = "Undisclosed";
            }

i'd use this:

PHP Code:

if (trim($post[field2])=="") {
            $post[field2] = "Undisclosed";
            }

*lol @ the many different ways to do the same(ish) thing*

[Xenon]

it's not the same thing.

if a user has entered a space the string is " " and so there wouldn't be undisclosed....
with trim() it would show undisclosed

[Erwin]

LOL! True, Stefan, very classy.

trim is better than (!$post[field2]) as well then. Still, for most users ! or "" would work.

[Davey]

I used Xenon's since he had a good point about the leaving the field blank.
Thanks both of you .
BTW@Rose I would suggest a new host for your banner because not only did it take about 3 minutes to load on ADSL (........), but it also didn't load - it was a red x.
That might lag 56k surfers ().

Yeah, I'll update that - thanks! I am cancelling the host it's currently located on, and since I've alreadys witched the domain addy, it's not pointing right.
