Custom Fields on New Profile Tab [library support]

[tunescool]

its off

[Wormopolis]

you see how none of your custom profile fields are on the page?

[tunescool]

theres no custom tab anymore, the custom fields are there

[Wormopolis]

Where? - because I dont see ANY custom fields in there

[tunescool]

i just noticed this, either i screwed something up recently or never had it rite

it shows up for me but when i logged out its not showing




i dont know what i have wrong


<table style="width: 100%; font-weight: bold;" valign="top">
{if $[user.custom_field]}
{foreach $[user.custom_field]}
<tr class="$[user.custom_field.content_class]">
<td class="headings">
{if $[user.custom_field.name] == "Mini Profile Background Image (Enter URL)"}{else}
$[user.custom_field.name]                                
</td>
<td>
$[user.custom_field.value]
{/if}
</td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
{/if}{/if}
</table>

the nesting is all wrong. at the end of that, you have two closing IF. at the top you have an IF and a FOR

you are mixing all your code in a blender again. just like HTML, these template setups have to follow the same kind of rules.

[tunescool]

it doesnt show up on this test site and i didnt do anything to the template, or entire theme

ok on that one, I can see fields now before the code runs. what needs to happen is you need to lowercase the placeholders:

$[field_name]

not

$[field_Name]

it searches by classnames, and classnames are all lowercase.

...

but that probably means I need to put something in there to handle if someone else does it...

[tunescool]

i figured out fields with two words just go together, Current Residence

$[field_currentresidence]

more than to too

$[field_yearsinoccupation]

but what if someone doesnt fill out a field, i dont have Relationship Status - $[field_relationshipstatus]

but it still shows, the variable and the field name

is that something we have to use ifs for and take care of ourselves, does the plugin do that now, or maybe you arent that far yet?

yeah doing IFs in the plugin field is sorta complicated and I havent got that far yet on how to repress it. Im not as smart as whoever got that to work in the proboards templates.

Im still trying though because the alters plugin is going to be using the same engine that I made for this.


I guess I could try and find a way to blank out all placeholders if they arent already replaced.. but if you have something in front of it, like you do for relationship, it will still show that part    .

[Wormopolis]

new version submitted that blanks placeholders it didnt find entries for. also added some more instruction on the settings tab for placeholder use

[tunescool]

wormer do you plan on getting the field names that we enter, not the variable, to not show up in the plugin before i put ifs in

i know its just text thats entered in the plugin, but is there a way to do that

[Wormopolis]

I will try for it to work just like the template editor does.

[tunescool]

is there a way i can keep some of the custom profile fields in the summary tab or is that just a template mod id get help with in that board

[Wormopolis]

not even a template mod would keep the plugin from finding them and moving them.
