I did the update and I haven't gotten them to show up at all. All groups are able to see all fields except their not showing.
Do you need to put a html text box in the description in order for it to show, or does it automatically do it by itself?

It adds on to any existing custom profile fields you've added to your forum from the admin area by itself.

The problem is that you've not added any to your forum yet via Members > Custom Profile Fields.

Oh, I got it now thank you so much!

Ok, so I was able to use if statements to select which members can see the fields, but now I want to change it so they won't see the field unless there part of a specific group.

I tried this... but it won't work... and I can't figure out how to get it working

{foreach $[current_user.group]}
{if $[current_user.group.name] == "GroupName"}
{foreach $[user.custom_field]}
{if $[user.custom_field.name] == "CustomField"}
<center>$[user.custom_field.value]</center>
{/if}
{/foreach}</td>
{/if}
{/foreach}
The original if statement I was using was

{if $[current_user.group.id] => 1}and that worked fine, but I want to have more control over specific group name so I can add more custom fields and not have all of them show based on which group a member is part of.

also, any way to have each line in the description be a new line? Currently when I enter information on 3 different lines, they act like one sentence.

Do you know by any chance if there's a way to move the three icons so you can see the word under? It hides everything you're typing:

[Brian]

Bolerro: The descriptions use HTML, so you need to use <br /> anytime you want to add a new line. Your other question should be posted in the Templates board.


leif: That's hard-coded into ProBoards. I can't change that. You could simply start on line 2 to work around it.

Thanks Brian...

I will check the templates forum

Download - 1.0.1

This plugin will let you set permissions for your custom fields to restrict their usage based on group or post count. You can also add descriptions to your custom fields so you can properly explain what each field is for.

Simply type the name of your custom field into the plugin's Permissions tab to hide it, then choose the requirements for it to show.

To add a description to a custom field, visit the Descriptions tab and type your custom field's name there, then type a description in the text box.


Enjoy!

I tried putting Signature in the box with a post count requirement, but when I used my test account, with no permissions, I could still use the signature box. What am I doing wrong?

Signature isn't a custom profile field which might be why

Ok. Thanks.

I adore this plug-in. The permissions work perfectly, and I can customize each field with relative ease. I have, however, encountered a small issue and I'm not sure how to / find where to fix it.

Primary Example is that I have made two new fields. One for a Character's D.O.B. and the other for a character's Date of Embrace. (It's a vampire RPG.. I know.. I'm lame) T^T

The information went through just fine but.. It does not say what it's for. (If that makes any sense. I apologize. I'm not very articulate today.)

Here's a few screencaps of what I am having an issue with.



As you can see.. It went through fantastically on the edit page.. But on the main profile page, Unless you know what the entered info means (which most probably wont) it just looks like a bunch of randomly entered information.. and it doesn't show in the mini profile at all.

Is there something additional I should do? like entering some change of code in my CCS or.. I dunno.. any input would be wonderful. Thank you for your time.

That would be a template issue revolving around the fonts and elements you've set in that particular area, The Magpie.

For that reason I suggest editing the HTML and CSS relating to Themes > Layout Templates > User Profile > Summary.

Ah.. well, I'll see what I can do. I'll admit, I'm a bit useless when it comes to coding. Sure, I can change colors and fonts like it's nobody's business, but as far as what a lot of the different codes actually mean. I'm a lost cause. LOL I dont even know where to begin.. But thank you.. I'll at least check to see if it works on my other skins. Thank you so much for the quick reply!

Nevermind, figured it out

Hey Brian just wanted to check-
if I have a custom profile field set so only staff members can edit it, then I use this plugin to have it show up on certain group's profiles, that doesn't mean those groups can now edit it, right? It doesn't bypass the staff-only-modifying?
