Description: This adds several profile fields to the newuser registration page, so that upon registration, you have a more complete profile. It adds: Homepage, Occupation, Hobbies, Geographic Location, Bio, ICQ Number, Custom 1, Custom2, Custom3, Custom4, and let's them give a URL to their picture, or upload a picture (if you have the picture upload option on).
It requires the Occupation, Hobbies, Location and the 4 extra fields to be complete, as well as they must either upload a picture, or supply a URL.
Info/Instructions: You must activate all 4 of the optional fields (since they are reqiured on registration) or else nobody will be able to register.
Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify. If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.
Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
And what if you don't want to use all the optional fields?
Can you somehow modify it so that if they leave an optional field blank then UBBT will automatically fill in "none" or "N/A" or something like that in its place when they submit the registration?
I think it will - I do need to probably update instructions to see how it installs with 6.4 as I haven't tested it.
If you wanna try - be my guest, otherwise it could be next week before I have time. But I'd like to also build the avatar feature into the 6.4 version.
If you wanted a field to just say "none" on default then for example, change this:
You can take a see what this looks like here: http://www.laondalatina.com/foros/newuser.php Note that I have the pop-up avatar implemented that isn't part of this mod, but may be in version 6.4. All the rest should be about the same.
I wonder... for users like me who have the "Friendly User Registration" Mod installed, I wonder if someone will combine that mod and this one? That would be great.
This mod is the best and most useful one I have seen for 6.3. The biggest problem for new members is the registration process. I get many questions from people who forget to select "I agree" and see this vague "you have not filled out all requested fields" (or something simular) This is verry confusing. Has anyone got a updated version for 6.4? I would like to add this one again, but it should be a standard feature in the infopop release:-)
What I did was to further edit the newuser_signup.tmpl file and add asteriks after each field that is required. Above all the options, I put (is Spanish): * Required Fields
That warning, as well as every asterik is red. That's helped make this work out for me. Look here: http://www.laondalatina.com/foros/newuser.php I don't know off hand whether this works w/ 6.4 or not. The avatar pop-up I have was backported from 6.4 by Josh for me and it's not in this mod. When I get around to upgrading my site to 6.4, I'll commission Josh to upgrade this mod also
I don't think this has been poster here for 6.4. I comissioned Josh to do this and he is still working on the avatar part of the mod. At least I haven't seen it...
I am trying to mod this mod so that I only have 2 additional required fields. The template 'newuser_signup.tmpl' lays out the fields as I want them and the 'submit' button works, however, when the information is submitted I get a "user name and password not found" error. I have followed all instructions excluding the fields I do not want required in my sign up so I'm pretty sure it's a syntax error vice a logic error. My PHP is just not good enough to find it though.
My 3 modded files can be downloaded and examined --> Here <--
This "simple" mod is exactly what I need and I would really like to get this working. Any help is greatly appreciated.
~$config['extra2']~ and ~$config['extra3']~ are defined in config.inc.php due to another mod and therefore, I need to require or require_once config.inc.php in newuser.php and adduser.php (right)?
I "require"(ed) config.inc.php in both newuser.php and adduser.php since both extra2 and extra3 variables are "$config"'ed there, and did the following:
