Location field required

[sandboa]

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to require the location field in the profile to be filled?

YOu mean filled at registration?

First you'd have to add the location field to the registration form (not there by default). For that, you could add in a plugin at register_form_start with something like...

PHP Code:

$human_verify .= '<input name="location" type="text" />'; 


(You'd definitely want to tweak the HTML to look better.)

Next you'd want to make a plugin on register_addmember_process to check and add that info. Something like:

PHP Code:

$location = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'location', TYPE_STR);
if (!$location) {standard_error('HERPADERP, YOU FORGOT THE DARN LOCATION!',false);
$location_array = array('field2' => $location);
$userdata->set_userfields($location_array); 


That -should- do you... but tbh, someone's probably already created a plugin for something like that. If not, just twaek that code, test it out, see if it works for you.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. I search for some time for a plugin to do just that. Could not find one for 4.2.

Didn't work. The field is missing from the registration form
