Incomplete Profile Fields Reminder · **Released**: 08-18-2006

Incomplete Profile Fields Reminder
Port of the 3.5 version located here

What this addon does:
If your user has a profile field that has not been filled out, a box will appear on the forum home (or on all pages - admin's option) notifying them of the field's incompletion. The user then has the option to hide the box (either forever or for X amount of days - admin's option also) and edit their profile.

Installation
1. Import the XML file into the product manager
2. No template edits!
3. Enjoy

An AdminCP vBulletin Options section is included to manage which fields should be monitored for incompletion, how long the user can hide the box for, and where the notice should appear.

Nice hack

Hi, I can't get it to work. I did find a typo. You put optinos instead of options. Maybe there is something else?

PHP Code:


			
switch($vbulletin->options['blankfields_pages'])

OK, I got it to work. Did not realize that fields had to be required and there also was an execution time conflict with the global announcement hack.

However, since the fields that I want to force are not required to all (and I don't also want to scare new members with all those questions), but only to a certain usergroup, how can I make it to work with not required fields? Then I will use it in custom mode with a usergroup conditional.

Thanks.

never mind... I forgot to put the global in vbadvanced. Everything is fine...

Glad to see you got it working. If you have any other problems just let me know. And sorry about the typo, I'll update that as soon as I can.

nice mod.
Thank You.

An option to disable users to set date will be good though. The admin should only be able to set the date whe it should appear again.

Love the hack. Location is important on our site!

Any way to make this require users to update their profile with a valid birth date? My forum was 'ported to vBulletin so there are several members who haven't added that information.

deezelpope · #29 04-09-2007, 05:58 PM

Love this!!! Thank you!!:up:

djbaxter · #30 04-09-2007, 10:48 PM

What would make it better would be if it could also flag non-custom profile fields, like birth dates...

deezelpope · #31 04-10-2007, 09:19 AM

I agree, but some people are weird about their birthdays...I don't get that.:erm:

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
