Customize UCP fields

[Pope94/IA]

Sorry if this thread is in the wrong forum. Im not sure where to post it considering its not really mod related or style related..

My website is http://www.the-hunting-place.com/forum/
Im using subsilver2
Im editing two files: memberlist_view.html and ucp_profile_profile_info.html

What im trying to do is customize my custom profile fields in my ucp so I can position them where I want and what ever ones I want, just like what you can in the memberlist_view.html using this code...

Code: Select all

                                       <!-- IF S_PROFILE_FIELDNAME -->
				<tr>
					<td class="gen" align="right">{PROFILE_FIELDNAME_NAME}: </td>
					<td><b class="genmed">&nbsp;{PROFILE_FIELDNAME_VALUE}</b></td>
				</tr>
			<!-- ENDIF -->

That code allows you to put them where you want. I want that to work with my ucp also using the same profile fields.

Right at the momment it displays all the custom profile fields in order and im wanting to move them around.

This is the default code that displays them all. What should I change in this to just display individual fields?

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN profile_fields -->
	<tr> 
		<td class="row1" width="35%">
			<b class="genmed">{profile_fields.LANG_NAME}: </b>
			<!-- IF profile_fields.S_REQUIRED --><b>*</b><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- IF profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN --><br /><span class="gensmall">{profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN}</span><!-- ENDIF -->
		</td>
		<td class="row2">{profile_fields.FIELD}<!-- IF profile_fields.ERROR --><br /><span class="gensmall error">{profile_fields.ERROR}</span><!-- ENDIF --></td>
	</tr>
<!-- END profile_fields -->

Sorry if im not being clear with what im asking. Im not that good at explaing things. I can picture it in my brain but for some reason it doesn't come out as I want.

Maybe if I showed somethings I was testing out, it will help.
Color red is what I tried changing

<!-- BEGIN profile_fields_FIELDNAME -->
<tr>
<td class="row1" width="35%">
<b class="genmed">{profile_fields.FIELDNAME}: </b>
<!-- IF profile_fields.S_REQUIRED --><b>*</b><!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN --><br /><span class="gensmall">{profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN}</span><!-- ENDIF -->
</td>
<td class="row2">{profile_fields.FIELD_FIELDNAME}<!-- IF profile_fields.ERROR --><br /><span class="gensmall error">{profile_fields.ERROR}</span><!-- ENDIF --></td>
</tr>
<!-- END profile_fields_FIELDNAME -->

Well obvisiously what I edited didn't work but it might help explain what im going for here...

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks guys and gals!

Open /includes/functions_profile_fields.php and find:

Code: Select all

            $template->assign_block_vars('profile_fields', array( 

Below, add:

Code: Select all

                'IDENT'=> $row['field_ident'], 

Now you can identify each custom profile field in the template you want to edit, i.e. for /styles/subsilver2/template/ucp_profile_profile_info.html you could do:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN profile_fields -->
<!-- IF profile_fields.IDENT eq 'firstname' -->
	<b>{profile_fields.LANG_NAME} = {profile_fields.FIELD}</b>
<!-- ELSEIF profile_fields.IDENT eq 'lastname' -->
	<i>{profile_fields.LANG_NAME} = {profile_fields.FIELD}</i>
<!-- ELSEIF profile_fields.IDENT eq ...
	...
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- END profile_fields -->

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't seem to be working.
Using your code I replaced firstname and lastname with the names of my fields.. I am using bow as one and arrows as the other but it doesn't seem to show in the user control panel.

[AmigoJack]

Modify it for debugging purposes to this:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN profile_fields -->
<!-- IF profile_fields.IDENT eq 'firstname' -->
   <b>{profile_fields.LANG_NAME} = {profile_fields.FIELD}</b>
<!-- ELSEIF profile_fields.IDENT eq 'lastname' -->
   <i>{profile_fields.LANG_NAME} = {profile_fields.FIELD}</i>
<!-- ELSE -->
   <br/>My field name is "{profile_fields.IDENT}", my content is "{profile_fields.FIELD}".
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- END profile_fields -->

...so unrecognized fields will show up also. Have you also cleared the template cache?

[Pope94/IA]

That code does show fields but instead of just showing the bow and arrows field it shows every custom field that I have.

[AmigoJack]

That was the intention, since you now can see each IDENT of them which you previously failed to name right.

That was the intention, since you now can see each IDENT of them which you previously failed to name right.

I dont want it to show every one though. I want a code so I can show each field individually. So my bow field will have its own code differant from my arrows field.... like the memberlist_view.html

In my memberlist_view.html I have something like this...

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_PROFILE_BOW -->
				<tr>
					<td class="gen" align="right">{PROFILE_BOW_NAME}: </td>
					<td><b class="genmed">&nbsp;{PROFILE_BOW_VALUE}</b></td>
				</tr>
			<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF S_PROFILE_ARROWS -->
				<tr>
					<td class="gen" align="right">{PROFILE_ARROWS_NAME}: </td>
					<td><b class="genmed">&nbsp;{PROFILE_ARROWS_VALUE}</b></td>
				</tr>
			<!-- ENDIF -->

See how putting BOW or ARROWS in there will change which custom field is shows?
I want to move this over to the user control panel so it will show each field individually.

So maybe it would use IF statements to show each one seperate?

My whole goal of this is to place my custom profile fields at differant places in the User Control Panel. For example.. I would have my bow field at the very top of the page... and my arrows field at the very bottom of the page. I want them seperate.

[AmigoJack]

I understood that - and if the IDENTs of your fields are BOW and ARROW (the names are case sensitive) your code should look like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN profile_fields -->
<!-- IF profile_fields.IDENT eq 'BOW' -->
   <b>{profile_fields.LANG_NAME} = {profile_fields.FIELD}</b>
<!-- ELSEIF profile_fields.IDENT eq 'ARROW' -->
   <i>{profile_fields.LANG_NAME} = {profile_fields.FIELD}</i>
<!-- ELSE -->
   <br/>My field name is "{profile_fields.IDENT}", my content is "{profile_fields.FIELD}" and you need to give me another IF/ELSEIF branch in your code.
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- END profile_fields -->

Thanks for this Code Jack! Using this, I was able to move TWO specific custom fields to the top of my USP profile page, and left the rest at the bottom. Here's what I put up top:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN profile_fields -->
	<!-- IF profile_fields.IDENT eq 'ms_user_name_first' --> 
	<dl>
		<dt><label<!-- IF profile_fields.FIELD_ID --> for="{profile_fields.FIELD_ID}"<!-- ENDIF -->>{profile_fields.LANG_NAME}:<!-- IF profile_fields.S_REQUIRED --> *<!-- ENDIF --></label>
		<!-- IF profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN --><br /><span>{profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN}</span><!-- ENDIF --></dt>
		<!-- IF profile_fields.ERROR --><dd class="error">{profile_fields.ERROR}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
		<dd>{profile_fields.FIELD}</dd>
	</dl>
	<!-- ENDIF -->
	<!-- IF profile_fields.IDENT eq 'ms_user_name_last' --> 
	<dl>
		<dt><label<!-- IF profile_fields.FIELD_ID --> for="{profile_fields.FIELD_ID}"<!-- ENDIF -->>{profile_fields.LANG_NAME}:<!-- IF profile_fields.S_REQUIRED --> *<!-- ENDIF --></label>
		<!-- IF profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN --><br /><span>{profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN}</span><!-- ENDIF --></dt>
		<!-- IF profile_fields.ERROR --><dd class="error">{profile_fields.ERROR}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
		<dd>{profile_fields.FIELD}</dd>
	</dl>
	<!-- ENDIF -->
	<!-- END profile_fields -->

and at the bottom:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN profile_fields -->
		<!-- IF profile_fields.IDENT != 'ms_user_name_first' --> 
		<!-- IF profile_fields.IDENT != 'ms_user_name_last' --> 
		<dl>
			<dt><label<!-- IF profile_fields.FIELD_ID --> for="{profile_fields.FIELD_ID}"<!-- ENDIF -->>{profile_fields.LANG_NAME}:<!-- IF profile_fields.S_REQUIRED --> *<!-- ENDIF --></label>
			<!-- IF profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN --><br /><span>{profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN}</span><!-- ENDIF --></dt>
			<!-- IF profile_fields.ERROR --><dd class="error">{profile_fields.ERROR}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<dd>{profile_fields.FIELD}</dd>
		</dl>
		<!-- ENDIF --> <!-- ENDIF --> 
	<!-- END profile_fields -->

Cheers, and thanks again!

We had a need to do something drastic with our CPF's as we have so many that the standard Profile Page in the UCP was getting a little unweildy

So, using the advice in the Post 2 above, I was able to create new modules and set up these to carry a smaller number of the CPF's each. However, I have since found that, sadly, this principle of having separate modules for "batches" of CPF's (one per car) is flawed. Say you have 20 CPF's numbered 1 to 20, and set up four modules (one each for 1 to 5, 6 to 10 etc). Assuming you have data in all of these CPF's, and then change something in the first module, whilst it will successfully save these changes on submission, unfortunately it also sets all the other fields back to their default state!

So it looks like the submission is working OK, and I'm getting confirmation, it just seems as though if a CPF is not on the submitted form, then the system doesn't know how to handle it and thus returns it to default....

it just seems as though if a CPF is not on the submitted form, then the system doesn't know how to handle it and thus returns it to default

Since /includes/functions_profile_fields.php:update_profile_field_data() only manipulates what $cp_data contains it's more likely your code has a flaw. Either provide a ZIP here or PM me one and I can make sure.
