Unfilled fields in Profile not displayed...

[tpearl5]

Can this be done?

On which page?

[tpearl5]

More specifically, on the member profile pages in custom and normal fields which are not required and are not filled in by the user.

Yep, it's possible. You'll have to create templates for each that you want to show/not show and copy out the info from the getinfo template for that row and add a bit to member.php.

For example, if I don't want Location to show if it's empty, I'd do the following:
1) Create a new template called getinfo_location with the following in it:

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Location:</b></normalfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>$userinfo[field2]</normalfont></td>
</tr>

2) If this field was already in the getinfo template (this was a slightly bad example cause it's a custom field that falls under the guise of $customfields in the getinfo template) I'd remove the whole row from the template and replace it with $userinfo[location] - but in this case we just need to add $userinfo[location] somewhere in the getinfo template.
3) In member.php find

    eval("\$customfields .= \"".gettemplate("getinfo_customfields")."\";");

  }

and add right after it

if ($userinfo[field2]!="") {
eval("\$userinfo[location] .= \"".gettemplate("getinfo_location")."\";");
} else {
  $userinfo[location="";
}

Just repeat for any other things you want to display/not display.

Seems easy enough! I'll try that out tomorrow when I'm awake. This should be a new feature for 2.1 ! No doubt...

That's not easy, in fact thats the most hacked-up slackjaw thing i ever saw. Isn't there a way that will work for ALL fields?

This is what I've put in my functions.php:

if ($post[field2]!="") {
eval("\$post[field2] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_location")."\";");
		} else {
			$post[field2]="";
		}

	if ($post[joindate]!="") {
eval("\$post[joindate] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_registered")."\";");
		} else {
			$post[joindate]="";
		}

if ($post[posts]!="" and $post[posts]!="0") {
			eval("\$post[posts] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_posts")."\";");
		} else {
			$post[posts]="";
		}

Then make three new templates, postbit_location, postbit_posts and postbit_registered.

All they should contain is (example):

Posts: $post[posts]<br>

What all the above does it makes the stats within postbit invisible when someone hasn't made any posts, hasn't filled in a location, or is a guest (so of course hasn't filled any of the info in).

There's a hack out just for the customfields not showing up in the profile page if they are empty. It is by AFTERLAB and the hack is called "Hide Unentered Fields".
