I am getting closer to working on a membership module, but feeling hesitant about spending the time on it when I know the next XOOPS release is going to have more membership options built in.

Can anyone give us a more specific idea what new membership data features will be included in the next release? Plus, I'm hesitant to ask about timeline, but...

Thanks!

That said, perhaps we should determine how we will communicate if we go forward and discuss the scope of the project in more detail. Since I've not worked on a virtual development team before, I'm taking suggestions as to how to begin. Email? Module Dev Forge? Chat?

In any case, everyone who wants to help, send me an email and I'll setup a small mail list for the discussions.

I have edited the files serving the user pages. Rather than going through and recoding, I have tried to keep it simple by changing the use of existing fields (ICQ, AIM etc) which were beyond the needs on my site. I have amended the following:

1. In ../language/english/user.php change

define('_US_ICQ','Organisation');
define('_US_AIM','Department');
define('_US_YIM','Address');
define('_US_MSNM','City');
define('_US_LOCATION','County');
define('_US_OCCUPATION','Post Code');
define('_US_INTEREST','Phone');

2. In .. /modules/system/language/english/admin
users.php
findusers.php

change
define("_AM_ICQ","Organisation");
define("_AM_AIM","Department");
define("_AM_YIM","Address");
define("_AM_MSNM","City");
define("_AM_LOCATION","County");
define("_AM_OCCUPATION","Postcode");
define("_AM_INTEREST","Phone");

3. In ../user.php

define('_US_ICQ','Organisation');
define('_US_AIM','Department');
define('_US_YIM','Address');
define('_US_MSNM','City');
define('_US_LOCATION','County');
define('_US_OCCUPATION','Post Code');
define('_US_INTEREST','Phone');

4. in ../edituser.php

Find
if ($op == 'editprofile') {

About 23 lines after this, a line begins $icq_text
From (and including) that line, change the first and second number in brackets to increase the size of the text box appearing for users (I have used 40, 100 as default for all).

5. In MySQL, in xoops_users edit the field size to 100 (or whatever you set at maximum in 4 above) for ICQ, AIM, YIM etc. that you have amended (to allow for more text to be entered)

There you go - it is rough and ready but it does the job for registration and is already linked into the core XOOPS system.
