Mod assumes a custom profile field called family_name exists. Mod easily adapted for other custom profile fields.

just in time, thx

This only adds a custom profile field, how does it search for it? I see nothing about search.php in the install

and what if we want to add something else, follow family_name example install again?

The edits to memberlist.php do all the searching. It's for when you use the 'Find a member' link.

Yep.

I think an array of all cpf is better. so u have a pulldown of all cpf's and one textfield. so u can choose, what field u search for. also it will be better, u have an independant slim search function for cpf_table with its own search result page template (copy of genuine search_results), so less edits and updates will be more simple.

I did consider this however my way (adapting the mod to add more than one cpf search box) allows you to search on two custom profile fields at once, e.g. first_name & family_name.

how customize your search only a specific group?

Thanks, works fine.
There might be a tiny bug when using a * wildcard to display all members who is using the CPF.
It also display members who once had the CPF filled out but now is blank.

You are asking in the wrong topic. You need to ask in the topic by 4_seven

That is standard on a phpBB Board. Use the Group dropdown in the search.

Difficult to understand why you are getting that result as the CPF values are only stored once in the database, e.g. at phpbb_profile_fields_data.pf_family_name

I have tested it with my 'Family name' example & searching sm* returns Smith, Smyth, Smeet, Small etc. etc. however someone who did have Smith who has now changed it to S is not shown when searching sm*

Is it a specific field type you are trying Stoker?

[Stoker 4.0]

Its a field only admins and mods can fill out.
So as admin I fill it out for the users.

Try delete the family name in your profile and do a search using only the wildcard: *
Then your user with the deleted field appears in the search.
