User Profile Field Categories

[testbot]

there's not really a whole lot about it so i'm not sure if i'm doing it wrong or what.

i created a category named Social Networking
Location on Profile Page: Main Colum, Last Tab

then created a User Profile Field> Single Text Field> with the following
Name Facebook
Category: Social Networking
Private Field: No
Field Searchable on Members List: Yes
Show on Members List: No
Display Page: Options Other

finally, i go to my profile and add a value to the new field, look at my profile and no new tab named Social Networking.

am i missing the purpose of this option?

Select "Edit Your Details" for the Display Page.

If you select "Edit Your Details", this option will show up when viewing a user's profile. All other options are primarily used in conjunction with template conditionals to create additional options for your users.

oh wait. i have it showing the the Social Networking tab that i made but the fields are also showing in the 'About Me' tab too. i only want it in the Social Networking tab.

From the Field Categories page:

Location on Profile Page
Profile fields will always be shown on the 'About Me' tab, in addition to any location you select here.

another question somewhat related.

how do i make the custom field a link?

like if i make a Facebook field and someone puts in the url to their profile, how do i make that display as a link in there profile?

[Lynne]

You would have to actually call the field yourself using $userinfo[fieldx] (or $prepared[fieldx] depending on where you call it). And then just make that a line - <a href="$userinfo[fieldx]">Facebook Profile</a> Of course, you'll have to tell your users to enter a fully qualified link, ie. http://whatever.com/thispage.php
