| Re: General procedure to add new fields to user profile |
| by jegelstaff on 2007/5/28 23:19:08 @ preachur Sorry to hear the problem persists. I can't think what would be causing that other than the register.php, edituser.php, userinfo.php and the related system template file not being replaced during install...the reg codes versions of those files simply ignore the default form and use the one you've specified in the Formulize preferences instead. I am happy to take a look at your site in more detail, including through FTP to check the files, if you are comfortable with that. Let me know. @ carpeweb You can make life fairly simple for users by creating a page with links to the register.php file, with the right code added on as a URL parameter. So if you have three classes of users, and each needs to register with their own code, so they see the right questions in the profile form and/or so they are slotted into the right groups, then if you give them links to click on with the code in the URL, they don't have to remember the code, and they can just read the link text and click the one that makes sense for them. ie: le="color: #000000"><?php <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/register.php?code=manager">If you are a manager, click here!</a> <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/register.php?code=volunteer">If you are a volunteer, click here!</a> I hope that helps, --Julian |

| by vaughan on 2007/5/28 20:09:41 smartprofile works fine (altho there are a few small niddly bugs which should be fixed soon) either way tho, the bug regarding registration and activation key is a simple fix. you can see it in action at http://www.g7poo.co.uk click register to see the form. |

Are those identified in the readme PDF(s)? I think I might have deleted that from the server but still have it in the zip file on my PC. I seem to recall moving quite a few files from the module into some of the core folders, so my best answer would be, I think so, but I'll check to make sure. Quote:
Well, this tells me that I must have something set up incorrectly, which is good info. I hope it's the core files, because that's pretty easy to fix! Quote:
Validating email addresses is a great feature, but it doesn't quite do everything I need. The membership of this particular web site will be much more restrictive than "have an email address". I guess Reg Codes is the most promising way to go. I was looking for something that would require less for users to remember. (Yes, I anticipate that even a simple code might be a problem with some users!) I'll let you know if the core files solve the problem. Thanks, Jim |

| by preachur on 2007/5/22 21:36:40 I am having the same issue. I have replaced the files as instructed, and it still shows the (lousy and generally worthless) standard XOOPS profile fields when viewing the account. (2.0.16) Xoops really really REALLY needs a new CUSTOMIZABLE core registration and profile system. Extended profiles, SmartProfile, all the hacks.... None of it works to give an XOOPS site a professional customized registration and profile system. The systems that are in place for all versions of XOOPS so far make XOOPS sites confusing and very unprofessional looking to the users. (I have also checked out RC releases of newer XOOPS systems, and alternative systems like XOOPS Cube and SimpleXoops. They don't have any usable solutions either.) I have had many many complaints from both users and clients, and the lack of working options saddens me. However, if I can get past this one small obstacle, I will say that formulize has (once again) saved the day. |
