Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 21, 20178 yr Hi I'd like to give my members a number that they can use when submitting other data to me so that I can eventually match the data with their profile info. Is it possible to show the member_id (the sequential number that is assigned to each new member) as a read-only field in their profile? I tried using the 'member' field but it doesn't seem to show anything. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
March 21, 20178 yr Try adding to the template {member="member_id"} I think that's the code to insert the id number you want.

March 23, 20178 yr Author thanks @Linguica and @sweethoney I tried the "member={member_id}" text inside the profile field definition (both for type Number and type Member) but doesn't seem to work. Trying to decipher the XML in the member id in post piece -- it's too much of a stretch for me technically right now, but thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep trying and will find more time to research it.
