[How To] Utilizing each Custom Profile Field

[Jaymie1989]

Try this

Go to your ACP > General > Board features > Load Settings and turn on the Allow styles to display custom profile fields in memberlist

No Honor, this code: viewtopic.php?p=125895#p125895 was for your viewtopic_body.html template.
That lines your stuff up in the profile section of the viewtopic page. You didn't like it under the sig.
I got that code from your post here: viewtopic.php?p=125881#p125881

I think the code has to change a little for the memberlist_view.html template.

Hows it going Honor? Did you get this in your viewtopic_body.html template: viewtopic.php?p=125895#p125895

That same code above, in the memberlist_view.html... some of those codes have to be changed for that page.

All the codes like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF postrow.S_PROFILE_SGCNAMEONE -->

need to be replaced with

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_PROFILE_SGCNAMEONE -->

remove the postrow. for the memberlist template.

And all the codes like this:

Code: Select all

{postrow.PROFILE_SGCLINKONE_VALUE}

need to be changed to this

Code: Select all

{PROFILE_SGCLINKONE_VALUE}

remove the postrow. for the memberlist template.

So sorry - I've been reading and tweaking, but a busy work schedule and the beginning of school didn't allow me to respond =/

Yes, I've got the mini profiles exactly as I want - I'm fine with the strong not being that strong I'll be doing some other tweakings when I get into the actual style of it.

I also got it working in the main profile page, thanks! And because of the work we've done in this thread, I was even able to switch some things around in it

I want to completely rebuild the profile pages though, as I REALLY don't like the layout lol. I will let you know personally when I get that far, because you guys have contributed much if not all of my knowledge in the matter Thanks again!

Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between the memberlist view page and the view topic page? Why did the codes have to be different? Syntax isn't my strong point so it helps me to understand these things

Slight differences make sense, but overall, it wasn't the best way to handle the system. I don't know why they did it the way they did.

If your curiosity...

The reason they have the codes in the viewtopic different than they do in the memberlist is because...
in the viewtopic there are rows of different posts to distinguish and there are no rows in the memberlist.

To keep the profiles separate for each user, it keeps tracks of each profile in a separate postrow.
The memberlist_view is about the one user only so there is no need for a bunch of postrows.

Thus... take out the postrow. for the memberlist page, other than that... the codes are identical.

And Chrissie, changing those codes like <strong>Stargate Command</strong>
to something like <strong style="font-size: 1.1em">Stargate Command</strong> will make those bolder for you.

Wow that actually made perfect sense...

So much to learn *facepalm*. And yes, I meant to say I saw that help you offered with the ems. I've gotten used to the look of it now. I'll try it out later when I get to styling the board Thank you so so much!

I thought you were referring to the use of postrow, memberrow, custom_fields, and no prefix.

[Honor]

Well, it's still not cosmetically correct for me, but it's getting there! Just wanted to show you what I managed with another mod and the help recieved here May inspire someone else who's working with the custom profile fields

Hey, it's me again 2 Questions now.

1) I have SO MANY custom profile fields in the UCP now. Is it possible to move the custom profile fields to a different tab in the ACP so a user isn't bogged down by a huge list of things to fill in? I am also looking at adding character notes for people, so that's adding another ten fields, plus if there is an answer to my next question, ANOTHER ten. (possibly more).

2) I just realized that I could use these custom fields for that Sig designation I had asked for a long time ago (I think), but I'm not sure how. I would like to allow users to use different sigs for different forums, and the sig shows depending on the forum you are in. Like, if there's a space forum, and a desert forum, and an ocean forum, I would have three different fields to enter three different sigs, and then IF statements (maybe? or maybe php?) to call the different sigs for different forums, so that my ocean sig only shows in the ocean forum, and the desert sig only shows in the desert forum, etc.
