Custom Profile field description as phrase

[jluerken]

Hi,

I am using 2 languages within my board and now I create custom profile fields for the new user registration.
Problem here is that I can only enter a description text in one language.
Sure I can enter both also there but it looks strange.

It would be good to have the possibility to enter a phrase_variable there so that I can offer the description in both languages.

I think this should be a standard vb3 feature.

Kind regards
jluerken

I don't know if this will be included in any new version, but you can try the following:

For each custom field, create a phrase fieldx_title in phrasegroup GLOBAL.

Example:
Custom Profile Field "Biography", fieldname field1
Create a phrase field1_title in phrasegroup GLOBAL with text "Biography".

Then go through the files member.php, memberlist.php, register.php, showgroups.php, profile.php and includes/functions_user.php and FIND

PHP Code:

while ($profilefield = $DB_site->fetch_array($profilefields))
{ 


Replace ALL occurances with

PHP Code:

while ($profilefield = $DB_site->fetch_array($profilefields))
{
  $profilefield['title'] = $vbphrase['field'.$profilefield['profilefieldid'].'_title'];

Hi jluerken and Andreas,

I actually was also wondering how to display custom profile fields in different languages.

Did Andreas' suggestion work?

If it does work, which I think it does, it will only work on 3.0.x NOT 3.5 because 3.5 was not around when that code was wrote.

Thanks Peter.
