Add a select field to the profile

Hey there

I'm still trying to learn all of this and damn this is cool ****. Anyway, I installed the gender hack and was going to use it to install another profile select box. Then I saw the very cool CP tool for adding a field to the profile. It currently only allows you to add a input box. I decieded to modify it so I could add my select box from there. It wasn't very hard and the hack is pretty short.


Here it is in a nutshell
I added a textarea field to the add/edit profile field
if you want the new field to be a dropdown, you enter the dropdown values. each line represents a new option tag.

Ex. you want a new field called "sex" that is a drop down with
the choices male,female, and other.

Make the new field as usual.
Set Field Length. (1 would be a standard dropdown)
Set Maximum Input (I'd leave it at 250)
In the Select Box Items text area type

Male
Female
Other

each on it's own line.


UPDATED for v224 with vbHacker
Click thru for the updated version

[lange]

Version 2.3.0.

I'm using the Nomb's attachment (customfields.txt).

I have the same problen than DigitalDesktops. In user.php, the code is not the same than in 2.2.8.

Anyone got it in 2.30 ?

[geniuscrew]

I'm getting errors with 2.3.0 also :/

[DigitalDesktops]

I got it working on 2.3.0.
Run the hack on VBhacker, then Insert the missing steps into the files, and it should work.

i guess most everyone is having the same problem i am with 2.3.0 and this hack


if anyone knows how to fix it a updated install txt would be great

[Falkware]

using this hack on 2.3.0 and it seems to work fine with the exception of one problem.

If I have a custom field and check it to be a Required field it will not show up in User CP under Edit Profile for whatever reason.

Can somebody give me any pointers on how to get required custom fields to show up in User CP/Edit Profile on v2.3.0?

Thanks.

i got this working in 2.3.0 with so far no errors


i dont use vbhacker, try this, in admin/profilefeild

it says find this

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO profilefield (profilefieldid,title,description,required,hidden,maxlength,size,displayorder,editable) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."',$required,$hidden,'$maxlength','$size','$displayorder','$editable')"); 


but its not there, search for this instead

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO profilefield 


i think its about line 40, copy the entire line, and replace it with this

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO profilefield (profilefieldid,title,description,required,hidden,maxlength,size,displayorder,editable,type,options) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."',$required,$hidden,'$maxlength','$size','$displayorder', '$editable',$type,'".addslashes($options)."')"); 


further down we have another thats like this in the same php file, it ask u to find this

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE profilefield SET title='".addslashes($title)."',description='".addslashes($description)."',required=$required,hidden=$hidden,maxlength='$maxlength',size='$size',displayorder='$displayorder',editable='$editable' WHERE profilefieldid=$profilefieldid"); 


but again it is not there, so instead search for this

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE profilefield SET 


copy the entire line, (close to line 100)

and replace it with this

PHP Code:

 $DB_site->query("UPDATE profilefield SET title='".addslashes($title)."',description='".addslashes($description)."',required=$required,hidden=$hidden,maxlength='$maxlength',size='$size',displayorder='$displayorder',editable='$editable',type=$type,options='".addslashes($options)."' WHERE profilefieldid=$profilefieldid"); 


besides that use Nombs attachment and this should work fine in 2.3.0

if anyone gets the checkboxes working id love it!
