Adding custom profile field to memberlist

[gregonweb]

Using the ACP, I've added a custom field on registration that requires the user input their full name. I'd like to be able to have that field displayed on the memberlist page, but am having trouble sorting through code, tables and variables... Here's what I know.

I have the "ADD USER" mod working properly in the ACP. Using it, I've created a Custom Profile Field called "Full Name", which requires the new user, upon registration, to enter their name.

Pulling up a View Source on the ADD USER page (in ACP), I see the following code:

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="pf_full_name" id="pf_full_name" size="25" maxlength="24" value="" />

So I'm thinking Great! The variable for the users full name is "pf_full_name". And I can verify that, by checking my database under the phpbb_profile_fields_data, there is a table with the pf_full_name field in it, using the user_id as the table's primary key. That I can understand.

Here's where I stray... I know that memberlist.php takes care of displaying the Members page. But how do I insert another column on the memberlist page which would include the pf_full_name data when the page is served up?

Code: Select all

<th class="posts"><a href="{U_SORT_POSTS}#memberlist">{L_POSTS}</a></th>

add

Code: Select all

<th>Full Name</th>

After

Code: Select all

		<td class="posts"><!-- IF memberrow.POSTS --><a href="{memberrow.U_SEARCH_USER}" title="{L_SEARCH_USER_POSTS}">{memberrow.POSTS}</a><!-- ELSE -->{memberrow.POSTS}<!-- ENDIF --></td>

add

Code: Select all

		<td><!-- IF memberrow.PROFILE_FULL_NAME_VALUE -->
 		{memberrow.PROFILE_FULL_NAME_VALUE}
 		<!-- ELSE -->&nbsp;<!-- ENDIF --></td>

Ah-HA! It is the template, not the php that needed to be modified. Ok. I understand. Little by little I learn. It worked perfectly - but of course you knew it would!

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Do comments like this do anything, or are they just for people?

Code: Select all

<!-- IF memberrow.PROFILE_FULL_NAME_VALUE -->

Also, why don't we just say "common.php" instead of this?

Code: Select all

$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

For question #1, that is template code. It is used by the template object.

For question #2, some servers do not use .php as the extension of php files. Some use php3, php4, or php5.

Ah, so then that might help answer this question about sessions.

Hello,

Ok i did add the custom profile fields in the member list, but how can i "sort" them ?

[gregonweb]

If someone has info on that, I'd also love to

A: know, so I can use it.
B: learn, so I can do it again with other things.

I don't believe changing the sort direction is possible without making modifications to the includes/functions_profile_fields.php, but I am not certain of that.

[ZORGLUB]

thanks a lot for this stuff.

thanks again.

I also need a way to do this, sorting memberlist by profile fields, also allow searching for members by them.

I added a wii system code field, and I want people to be able to find their friends by code.

For sorting columns in the memberlist I am trying this javascript hack but with no luck. The instructions are simple enough though..

Your post is off-topic. My guess is you didn't change the class name of the correct table.
