Miscellaneous Hacks - Incomplete Profile Fields Reminder

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.

To clarify, since I imported from other software, I have a number of members who have their birth dates set to "January 1, 1" - last New Year's Day, the forum sent out a ginormous quantity of Happy Birthday emails.

Actually, even a MySQL query to reset all those to "----- <blank> <blank>" would be fine, though I know that's off-topic here - the original problem was an ImpEx issue.

How do I change the X days to 31 days ? so that the user can`t decide himself ???

excellent mod - great job.. some of these things should be standard items in VB... the more options they have i think they would sell more licenses for VB

Uninstalled from v3.6.4... too bad as I really liked the premise...

Worked immediately after install until very first user (happened to be Admin status) clicked "Never Show Again" option at the Forum Home screen .....

After that action, the prompt never comes up for anyone, even though their profile fields are empty.

I tried un-insalling it, then re-installing it on the premise that it might have to re-initialize, but it still won't prompt under NavBar, except for that very first time.

I'll try it again if a new release comes out, on the off chance it will make a difference.

Thanks for the efforts. I do appreciate all of these coders who spend their personal time to help folks like me who just use their products.

Regards,
Badger

Ignore last post ...

Installed... works just fine.... :up:

A word for other folks as dumb as me. When you are testing from one computer using multiple usernames, remember that some mods use cookies that affect all usernames from the same machine.

Anyway, I cleared the cookie and everything started working...

Give me a coffee break and you have to retrain me...

Thanks

Badger

A promising MOD, thank you.

A quick question before installation: any chance that it may clash with vb 3.6.7 PL1?

Thanks again.

How can I edit the message for my users? I have Russian version of VB running.
