Module: Enhanced Custom Profiles

I have completed v5.2.1.02 with these changes:

- Added the ability to show custom profile fields on the "View My Profile" page.

- Fixed a bug which would cause errors if a field was set to show in new user registration and was subsequently deleted.

- Fixed a bug which could lead to the loss of certain field data if apostrophes were entered.

The latest version is available above. Please see the README for help with the new features.

hi!

I noticed some strange behavior when using a custom field with the dropdown input:

I set 11 choices - though that works - the last option (in this case value 11) isn't stored in the database - it always "falls back" to value 10.

The same thing happens when I add one more option to the dropdown (So I have 12 options) - 11 is stored, 12 is not.

My problem: I use the phorum_db_user_search_custom_profile_field() function to get all users depending on the selected option. - And that only works as long as I do not use the last option (my case value 11) - there I get 0 returned;

Any tips? ;)

Hmm. . . I have tested the dropdown with t1,t2,...,t11 and it seems to work fine for me. I also added, t12, then t13, then t14 and it work for each.

1. What are the choices you are giving (pm if needed)?
2. Could you check the "Show in User Admin" box and see what is being stored for the last selection?
3. Could you try creating a new dropdown with this as your "Dropdown Choices" (t1,t2,t3,t4,t5,t6,t7,t8,t9,t10,t11) and see if that works?

ad 1)
bitte auswählen,Wien,Niederösterreich,Oberösterreich,Tirol,Kärnten,Salzburg,Vorarlberg,Burgenland,Ausland
(these are austrian states, german language)

ad 2) Yep I already checked that - and it always displays the penultimate value. (as described - in my case it is the 10)

ad 3) ok! I will try that

Ok - I now tried it with "t1,t2,t3,t4,t5,t6,t7,t8,t9,t10,t11" - and that seems to work... hmmm

so perhaps it doesn't work because of the strings?

Perhaps I am misunderstanding, but I am only counting 10 choices at most here. Is there an eleventh? Is "bitte auswählen" the first choice, to be subsqently ignored if selected?

yep! ("bitte auswählen"= "please select" in english)

*hmpf*

Mea Culpa! That was it! Though I was really sure I checked that several times, ....sorry for bothering you with my mistake ;-)

No problem. I'm just glad we could work it out.

hi,

Once again a strange issue with this mod - I hope it's not my fault again (like it was with the drop down issue) ;)

I have several custom profile fields (type textarea), where users can put in some more personal description. This works fine as long as users do not put ampersands in it.

If they use ampersands, all "&" get encoded into &
But *not* - and that's quite strange - directly after submitting the form, but some minutes(?) later...
and then - some time later again - the "&" become "&" and so on - but without doing any changes in the custom profile field. (just reloading the profile site of the user)

This is how I display the fields on the Users Profile page:

{IF PROFILE->user_profil_musik}
  <strong>Musik</strong><br />
  <p>{PROFILE->user_profil_musik}</p>
{/IF}

So ... any ideas? ;)

(btw html is disabled for these fields).
