Force Current Members To Fill Out Required Profile Field · **Released**: 06-08-2005

So you add a new required profile field, and members who join afterwards are forced to fill out the field, but you want your current members to fill out that field too. Well unless your current members go edit their profile, the new field sits and waits for them to take action. This mod will force your current members to fill out the field by prompting them for action before allowing them to return to normal site use. Here are some further details:

Install as a vB 3.5.0 product.

Here based off the vB 2.3.x hack by Locutus2999.
Cost to install this mod is an additional query.
Support only if/as time available, no guarantees.
Should you install, say thanks by clicking install.

Remember to set 'Field Required' to 'Yes' and 'Field Editable by User' to 'Yes' for mod to kick in (see profile how-to: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/profile).

Waiting to see a brave soul like you try it first. :nervous:

Seems to work on 3.5 Gold. No problems. I tested it as much as I could last night, and found nothing wrong. Great hack, because we have a lot of people who didn't fill out the required fields.

Will this work with the birthday as well?

I just added the settings in AdminCP for new users to fill it in but I have around 30% of current members who have not.

Dear Forum Love God,

I Iust tried it on 3.5 Gold, it keeps nagging at me to edit my profile even though I just did. I will leave it installed but disabled for now.

Signed,

I'm having the same issue. I tried the bug fix Marco suggested but that did not work.

@:Judge: - nope, this mod is for required profile fields.
@wolfyman - make sure to fill in all required profile fields.
@weaver - what bug fix did Marco suggest for this mod?

weaver · #60 10-09-2005, 09:58 PM

I was referring to this bug fix:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...iew&bugid=1020

Also, the gender profile field was my only required field other than the email and password which were both entered.

@weaver - oh okay, thanks.
