Incomplete Profile Fields Reminder · **Released**: 08-18-2006

Incomplete Profile Fields Reminder
Port of the 3.5 version located here

What this addon does:
If your user has a profile field that has not been filled out, a box will appear on the forum home (or on all pages - admin's option) notifying them of the field's incompletion. The user then has the option to hide the box (either forever or for X amount of days - admin's option also) and edit their profile.

Installation
1. Import the XML file into the product manager
2. No template edits!
3. Enjoy

An AdminCP vBulletin Options section is included to manage which fields should be monitored for incompletion, how long the user can hide the box for, and where the notice should appear.

Notes

Developer last online in Sept! Thats scary I missed that and everyone should be warned there are many glitches in this if you have 3.6.8!

WARNING!!!

This mod will kill your board if you install on the latest vb 3.6.8x

I just talked to the little kid on msn messenger and here is his crap response after killing my board!

[12:10] Yotsume: hello
[12:10] Yotsume: i need help please with your mod
[12:10] Yotsume: you killed my vbulletin board with your missing profile mod!
[12:10] Jarin :: Eden: I didn't kill anything... you install mods at your own risk.
[12:11] Yotsume: i un-installed it but it still asks my members for missing fields
[12:11] Yotsume: so how do i remove your mod and get it to no longer ask members
[12:11] Jarin :: Eden: I haven't worked with vBulletin in over a year, I'm not familiar with the latest versions.
[12:12] Yotsume: so what changes does your mod make?
[12:12] Jarin :: Eden: Open the install file in notepad, it will tell you.
[12:12] Yotsume: what add-ins does it make so i can hunt it down edit the files i need to and fix my board
[12:12] Jarin :: Eden: Chances are you installed it on a version of vBulletin that's not compatible with it
[12:12] Jarin :: Eden: If that's the case I can't do anything for you.
[12:12] Yotsume: 3.6.8
[12:12] Yotsume: latest
[12:12] Jarin :: Eden: I haven't coded since 3.5
[12:12] Yotsume: i need a little help of where to look is all
[12:13] Jarin :: Eden: Check the database for a plugins table.
[12:13] Yotsume: your mod says 3.6X
[12:13] Jarin :: Eden: Yes, 3.6X at the time of release, that says nothing about future versions.
[12:13] Jarin :: Eden: It helps to read the release dates.
[12:13] Yotsume: it helps to make clear releases as well!!!
[12:13] Yotsume: please dont shoot at me
[12:14] Yotsume: your mod needs to be removed from Vb all together!
[12:14] Yotsume: it's very dangerous

[12:14] Jarin :: Eden: Feel free to have them removed, I really don't care. I don't want anything to do with vBulletin.

Please ADMIN remove this hack asap so others dont destroy their boards!

Can anyone update this hack so it will work with 3.6.8. Its a great hack but the designer is a serious nod. So can someone with a code clue take it over and update it please.

I think everyone who uses VB will love it!

For anyone wondering about version compatibility, it's working fine for me on v3.67pl1 ....... :up:

Sorry I believe your are wrong big time! It works because you have it installed. You will not be able to disable the hack, your will not be able to uninstall it!

Even though you disable this hack or uninstall it your members will still get a message asking them to complete profile fields. They will not be able to post any messages rendering your site 100% useless. Even though you uninstall it the message will still remain.

I am sorry but I believe your site is now infected as well as mine with this. Make a test account fill in the profile and leave some fields out. Then disable the hack and see if you are screwed for real or not.

I hope not!!! Please post and let everyone with 3.6.7x know for their sake! This is 100% the case on 3.6.8 latest build.

This is a great hack that is very powerful. It needs to be taken over by someone with a code clue and updated ASAP! Many people use vbulletin for business and work. This hack has the potential to do real damage to an entire site!

The snot nose kid who coded this was maybe 13 at the time and said 3.6.0 compatible. I am sorry but there needs to be a better checks and balance system for released hacks!

Infected ...

I un-installed and re-installed without a problem..... :up:

I turned it ON and Off..... :up:

I disabled the mod under the products menu .... :up:

I guess I'm just fortunate, but for whatever reason, I'm not infected (whatever that means) and .... yes, it does work fine for me under v3.67pl1... :erm:

Badger

Did you test it with a user account? Yea sure it looks un-installed or disabled until a user tries to enter the site with incomplete profile fields... So did you actually test it? Just uninstalling and reinstalling will not tell you if you have a problem.

Mine even though its un-installed wil not allow a user to have incomplete fields. Also, when the product is installed it no longer shows the fields I set it to check. It just shows the message but no longer shows which field titles they have to complete.

Mine is a nice mess. I think Before I scream more for help I will have to deactivate my other hacks and see if there is a conflict with this...
