well you can add an extra profile feild to allow them to share or not share info, and you can have it set not to be searchable and not to show on their profile page.

BIG PROBLEM

If you update the options page for vb3 all your options for the second options page are reset to defualt. Any ideas on how to fix this?

i never personally exprirend this problem, but i will look into it

[???`S?LV?R???`]

Does This Work Fine On VB3 RC3?

[Zachery]

i dont see why it wouldnt it is working on RC2 and i dont think there was too much more, its sorta stand alone. as in it shoudl always work

[NuclioN]

With all respect but...what is the function of this hack? I tried to understand it but i can't. Can someone explain it?

[Zachery]

It gives you an extra page to display uuser profile feilds

[chapsrulez]

Will this hack give me the option to add a new custom user filed, which is NON editable by the user, and every time a new user signs up, add a default value in the database?

I have tried to do this but no success.

cheers.

That is a nice hack, exactly what I was looking for. Was tired of adding all custom profiles under "Miscellaneous Options". Will add your hack soon!

[sjau]

Could you use put into the install instructions where above or below to add code?
I'm not sure if I have changed my profile.php.

Here are my lines 2415-2120

PHP Code:

                $attachsize = ceil($attachsum / $permissions['attachlimit'] * 100);
                $totalsize = 100 - $attachsize;
            }

            $attachlimit = vb_number_format($permissions['attachlimit'], 1, true);
        } 


Is that the right place to add?

Hack (1.1 / 1.2?) needs 2 fixes (one bug mentioned by eXtremeTim). Thanks to Zachery for this nice hack :P
Edit: FIX FIXED

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
FIX 1 (no more option resets)

- Open file includes/functions_user.php

Find:
-----

PHP Code:

// check extra profile fields
    $profilefields = $DB_site->query("
        SELECT profilefieldid,required,title,size,maxlength,type,data,optional, regex
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
        WHERE editable = 1
            AND form " . iif($formtype, '>= 1', '= 0'). "
    "); 


REPLACE with:
-------------

PHP Code:

// vB currently only uses $formtype=0(profile form 0) or $formtype=1(all options (form 1 to 5))
    if ($formtype >= 1 and $formtype <=5) {
        $typestart = 1;
        $typeend = 5;
    }
    // formtype is either 0(profile) or our extra page
    else $typestart = $typeend = $formtype;

    // check extra profile fields
    $profilefields = $DB_site->query("
        SELECT profilefieldid,required,title,size,maxlength,type,data,optional, regex
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
        WHERE editable = 1
            AND (form >= $typestart)
            AND (form <= $typeend)
    "); 


- Open file profile.php

Find:
----

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'updateextra')
{ 
    $userfields = verify_profilefields(1); 


REPLACE with:
-------------

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'updateextra')
{ 
    $userfields = verify_profilefields(6); 


-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
FIX 2 (Cache templates)

- Open file profile.php

Find:
-----

PHP Code:

'removelist' => array(
        'modifylist_removeuser',
    ), 


BELOW it add:
-------------

PHP Code:

'extra' => array(
        'page',
        'modifyoptions_timezone',
        'userfield_checkbox_option',
        'userfield_optional_input',
        'userfield_radio',
        'userfield_radio_option',
        'userfield_select',

Sorry, i havent updated this as of late, no one has really shown any intrest ill make the updates to my code.

[AlexanderT]

Zachery, I fixed my fix. Your hack works great now.

Thanks again!

[Zachery]

so your code is all good now?

If so i will patch this with my original instructions

[sjau]

Can this hack be modified, so that only certain user(groups) get access / can fill in those extra profile fileds?
