REQUEST: Make required userfields UNeditable

[Goyko]

Request for VB3 - [RC2]

Hi there,

I have some user profile fields which are required to be filled in during the registration.

In order to provide this I have to set the field attributes to "required" and "editable".

So far so good...

Now for the problem:

For security reasons I want to have my users fill in their location during the registration process.
But I don't want them to be able to edit this field afterwards, because they could change it to something useless then.

Is there a way how to do that or someone willing to try making a hack for this?
IMHO it would be useful for a lot of board admins out there

Any idea or hint would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Goyko

No one needs this function?
No one has an idea, how to ensure this?
:disappointed:

Sorry for bothering, but really no one has the need for uneditable required fields?
Guys you must have nice users, if not.

For me this function is vital, because I'm running a board with nearly 8.000 members, roughed up by a handful of trolls, who drive me crazy!

Everyone interested, who speaks german, take a look here and you will understand what I mean.

So.. I would really appreciate ANY hint, how to get this user profile field problem solved!

Thanks and best regards...

btw: Meanwhile it's a request for the RC3

I might take a stab at it.

We had the same problem and solved it this way:

In register.php

Find

PHP Code:

     $profilefields = $DB_site->query("
         SELECT maxlength, profilefieldid, required, title, size, type, data, optional
         FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
         WHERE editable = 1 


Change it to

PHP Code:

     $profilefields = $DB_site->query("
          SELECT maxlength, profilefieldid, required, title, size, type, data, optional
          FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
          WHERE editable = 1 OR required<>0 


Find

PHP Code:

 $profilefields = $DB_site->query("
         SELECT *
         FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
         WHERE editable=1 AND required <> 0
         ORDER BY displayorder
 "); 


Change it to

PHP Code:

 $profilefields = $DB_site->query("
          SELECT *
          FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
          WHERE required <> 0
          ORDER BY displayorder
  ");

Hi KirbyDE,

you definetly saved my day!!!

That was exactly how I wanted it!
A required field showing up at registration time (no matter what "editable" option it has) and after that never again, except in the ACP for the Admin!

Great work!
Thanks a lot!

Best regards...
