Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 26, 200915 yr I have been following a bug in the tracker with deals with custom fields. In 2.3.6 I have 3 custom fields (for private info) which are displayed and require completion at registration time. Thereafter the member can only see his/her own private custom fields. The admins can always see everyone's private fields. The fields were added recently. Members who did not complete these fields at registration time (prior to the fields being added) must complete these fields the next time they alter their user settings. Is this facility being maintained in 3.0?
March 26, 200915 yr It would be good if the rights and preferences for the production of custom profile fields of IPB 2.0 and 2.3 could take over. There is a little confusion in the whole thing for IPB 3.0? http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=tracker&showissue=13551http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=tracker&showissue=12137
March 26, 200915 yr The following option concerns me.Make Admin and Super Moderator Editable/Viewable Only? If yes, will override the above options so only admins and super moderators can see and edit this field. I had to turn this option on even though in 2.3.6 I had the ability. Does this mean that the members can no longer edit their own values after registration time?
March 26, 200915 yr The following option concerns me. I had to turn this option on even though in 2.3.6 I had the ability. Does this mean that the members can no longer edit their own values after registration time? Yes, it should be @ sunricecc. If they choose Preferences:Field can be edited by the member? NO or YES The Setting .....Make Admin and Super Moderator Editable/Viewable Only?.....makes members after registration fields do not see and can edit.
March 26, 200915 yr In my testing of beta 4, if I select the override for admins, the member can no longer edit the fields down the road. Reviewing the bugs also confuses me. It appears that the facility is no longer the same.
March 26, 200915 yr Yes, it should be @ sunricecc. If they choose Preferences: [b]Field can be edited by the member? [/b][b]NO or YES [/b] The Setting .....[i][b]Make Admin and Super Moderator Editable/Viewable Only?.....[/b]m[/i]akes members after registration fields do not see and can edit. The bottome line is that the Admin/Super Moderator option should be in addition to the above and not the override of the previous options.

It appears that the facility is no longer the same. I can not understand, as IPS but has old versions of IPB 2.0 and IPB 2.3. Why are not these rights over? The new rules and changes have me very confused and not enthusiastic. IPB 2.0 and 2.3x:Include on registration page? If 'yes', the field will be shown upon registration. OKField MUST be completed and not left empty? If 'yes', an error will be shown if this field is not completed. OKField can be edited by the member? If 'no', the member cannot edit the field but Super Moderators and Admins will be able to. OKMake this a private profile field? If yes, field only visible to profile owner, super moderators and admins. If 'no', members can search within this field. OKMake Admin and Super Moderator Editable/Viewable Only? If yes, will override the above options so only admins and super moderators can see and edit this field. OK Please take it so for IPB 3.0. Why is this a problem? You can see the code, what attitudes and preferences are set and then for IPB 3.0 to take over? I work with many such areas, so it's important for me.
March 26, 200915 yr I agree. I need the ability as admin to review these fields before I approve the application and once the application is reviewed, the member needs to have the ability to see and alter his own private fields while I can always review/edit them. If this facility is not in 3.0, I will not be able to upgrade.

You can then test whether their desires are possible, before they are regularly updated.
March 26, 200915 yr It's best to update them on localhost / xampp sample way to IPB 3.0 beta 5. You can then test whether their desires are possible, before they are regularly updated. Of course, I would test out the facility first. But Josh's answer to your bug in the tracker sounds like the previous ability (in 2.3.x) is no longer allowed. That is why I started this topic. Clarification is needed.
March 26, 200915 yr sunrisecc - If you want members to be able to edit the field you do NOT want to set[b]Make Admin and Super Moderator Editable/Viewable Only?[/b] This setting does what it says - makes it so that only admins or moderators can edit this field.I agree. I need the ability as admin to review these fields before I approve the application and once the application is reviewed, the member needs to have the ability to see and alter his own private fields while I can always review/edit them. This is possible by settingField can be edited by the member? Make this a private profile field?
March 26, 200915 yr I haven't install the IPB 3.0 Beta 4 yet, but is there any reason why Custom profile fields are not displayed on the profile page?

This is possible by setting [b]Field can be edited by the member?[/b] [b]Make this a private profile field?[/b] However, when they want at the registration box will be filled, how do they do then? If they want that until after the completion of registration, the field only by admin and mods can be dealt with, how do they do that? You must register at the field show, otherwise they will not be able to change that.
March 26, 200915 yr I just tested what Brandon stated. It works as advertised but the fields do not display at registration time. That bug is supposed to be fixed in the next release. Thank you Brandon.
