DvirCohen Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I wanted to add some fields to the registration form. Now, I couldnt use the custom profile fields beacause it doesnt connects with the data that already have a table cell. for example, I wanted to add ICQ number in the registration, but there is already ICQ number field in ibf_member_extra, so If I'll add it, the ICQ number on the ibf_members_extra wouldnt be edited, which meanse the built ICQ field on the personal portal will remain unedited, so I had to programming it my self. My suggestion is to have the ability of connecting custom fields with existing database fields, such as connection icq custom field to the icq field on ibf_member_extra.. From that idea I have another suggestion - to have the ability of deciding which options will be availible to select at the registration form.

TrixieTang Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 +43852437689329036215 Or even better, all that stuff, gender, IM info, etc. as custom fields that you can add anywhere into the templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jυra Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 It would help make IPB more flexible. I wouldn't mind removing the ICQ thing altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieTang Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 It would help make IPB more flexible. I wouldn't mind removing the ICQ thing altogether. If they were all customizable you could easily remove it if you don't want it and keep it if you do, as well as add any other IM programs, like QQ which is popular in China, it would help IPB be more friendly internationally too if that were the case, thus why that's in my opinion the better option than keeping the current non editable IM fields. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 +43852437689329036215 What's that all about? :blink: I mean, it's bad enough seeing "+1" 3000 times a day, but you're the first person to reply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jυra Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Maybe you should make a rule here about that. Then you all can use your ban hammers more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 We don't ban people very often lol. Besides it's a personal thing, not a forum rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well I totally agree and I think (or more hope) IPB 3 will have this default because a lot of us want more control over profiles and registration. It would also make it competitive with SMF's Registration/Custom fields that they integrated. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antony Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Regarding custom profile fields, I think all non-essential fields (display name, password, email address) should be made custom profile fields. Then we can add, remove or modify them from the ACP as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke37 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I call the password, email and display name essential. Especially the password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read what he said closer, I thought the same at first, those ARE the essential ones he's listed. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Oh, excuse me. I made that post rather late. Yes, I meant the listed fields are the essential ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
