Thanks Waltzing,

I know I promised to look into it. But I don't have Internet at home now for 3 weeks. So there's nothing I can do :(

Once I have it back I will look at the suggestions and look if I can make it RC.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay.

I just wanted you to know that I picked the mod up again and for the interested people, I managed to parse the "standard" profile fields.

The pic below shows the proof. I am thinking about how I can package this mod in a nice way, maybe through an ACP Module or something.

What do you prefer? An ACP mod or no ACP mod?

Let me know,

Nice MOD trefex :)

I have a suggest for the mod, it could be great to restrict BBCODE tags for parse, only URL, only IMG...

Cheers.

Ok thank you mustafa. I will not do one then.

I submitted the mod to Database, let's see if Moderators will accept it or not :)

@bellzebu: It's gonna be difficult. Because even in normal system, I think it is either "BBCode allowed" or "not allowed" but nowhere you can choose which one you want in what field. I can look into though and see if it's possible.

I would have preferred to have each individual field toggleable as a permission, so that you can give your users the ability to use BBCode in these fields as a perk (bonus). That way you could assign bonuses to groups, and they would apply to those users.

As it is now, users have the ability to abuse the display of the fields openly. Even a newly registered 0-post 1-day user can do it, which could disrupt a forum.

Ye that makes sense. I suppose i could put this as a config file. I mean it is kind of an overkill to create an ACP mod just for 1 boolean variable no?

Well, if you made each field toggleable, it wouldn't be one boolean anymore. You could potentially have toggles for all the different fields if you wanted, and even have a /contrib folder in your distribution package with addons for other fields from other mods. You'd end up with quite a few that could be turned on/off.

Edit: You could even (if you wanted), make a filter for each type of field, that determines what kinds of bbcode that field processes. i.e. you might not want large text in a field, but you would want text color and bold/underline/italics.

I think there are a lot of possibilities in this mod for giving power to alter any of those fields, and yet retain control over what kind of changes users are able to make.
