yorkiemal Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Matt what are the possibilities of making all the default elements in the profile form and profile view easier to customise, at present I believe that some of these elements are hard coded and can't be changed either easily or at all with out either a mod or custom change by IPS, it would be much better if all the elements of the profile could be customised/edited and not just custom profile fields.
Rοb Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Agreed. The the profile sections should be editable via ACP and not hardcoded.+1
cam drysdale Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 i think it would be cool if you could edit all the member fields in the admin cp, instead of just adding new ones, and plus having more control over them. Such as the location field, interests...
Wolfie Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Um, you already can edit location, interests, etc., and including the extra profile fields that you can create.
cam drysdale Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 how? please explain how you can edit the location field??
cam drysdale Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 no not in member profile! i meant change its properties like you can with custom ones in the admin cp!!!
Wolfie Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Which field specifically are you wanting to modify and in what way?
cam drysdale Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 well like change the interests to biography and change the location to a drop down box
Wolfie Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 For the "Interests": Edit language options, lang_profile, scroll to the bottom and look for "<ibf.lang.interests>", you can change that to be "Biography" or "About me" or whatever else. For the location field.. I can only presume that you are using 1.3.1 (or before), which I'm not sure how to do it in that. If you're using v2.0.x then you either need to purchase a license or go into your client center and set your member ID in there to show you as an IPS customer before I'll help you with that.
cam drysdale Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I personally feel this has to be one of the most important features of IPB, basically at the current time of me writing this, admins are only able to add custom fields for members to fill out, they are unable to edit or remove the ones that are their by default such as DoB, Location, Website, etc. I think the custom profile feature in the admin cp should be scrapped and replaced by "Profile Fields" where the standard default fields are shown, and can be deleted, edited and new ones can added, this will give admins full control over their profile fields. For the record as an example the ranking system is already like this as it has New Member and Advanced Member by default and admins may edit them, delete them, and add new ones. It would be great if the profile feature could be done in the same way! Thanks for your time, hope to see this implemented in 2.1 :thumbsup:

cam drysdale Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Yes this topic has been brought up a few times, once before by me! but its still not been implemented (as far as i know, as i haven't tried 2.1 yet!) so i decided to bring this back up, but better written, and more to the point!
Rοb Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I certainly agree that this feature should be added! Perhaps sticking to the one topic and giving it the occasional bump might help... That way if 40-50 users have all agreed (in one thread) that they would like to see this feature, it would probably be more likely to be noticed by Matt and then perhaps implemented. :)
cam drysdale Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 yeah i brought this feature back up again: http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=181319 still no sign of it yet though :(

If we can get enough votes then maybe it will be implemented in 2.1 Thanks for your time, hope to see this implemented in 2.1
cam drysdale Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 i have started a poll for this: http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...opic=181862&st= all in favour vote yes! if we get enough votes maybe the IPS staff will implement it! <_< as for some reason not one has been involved yet!

And with a bit of luck someone will (yet again) merge the poll with this topic. Im all up for this idea to be implemented but seeing the same topic posted all over the place is getting boring.
cam drysdale Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 yeah but this idea is very old, and no-ones from IPS has even commented on it? so like i'm pushing to get it done as this is almost essential, cause the current custom profile wizard is useless. i seriously think this has to be the most important feature ever for IPB 2.1, without it it'll be no better than 2.0.4 IMO and since i wasn't the orig creater of this topic and due to mine being merged i couldnt add a poll, so it'll be cool if they do merge the two!
