I need help with new user field

[bag53]

I am trying to add a "Real Name" field to the users that will only be displayed in the admin Control Panel. My 4images site is a private membership (friends and family only), and I would like to know who people are when they join. I have already set up activation by admin only.

I have read db_field_definitions.php and have already created the user_realname column in the 4images_users table.

Where am I supposed to put this line:

Code: [Select]

$user_realname['user_realname'] = array($lang['user_realname'], "text", 1);

In db_field_definitions.php?

Which file is all the new user activation information stored in the database?
register.php?

U must do it this way:

Code: [Select]

$additional_user_fields['user_realname'] = array($lang['user_realname'], "text", 1);

then u'll need add new user_realname field in 4images_users table.
and after that, u'll need edit register_form.html, member_profile.html, member_editprofile.html and so on so, your members can enter their real name.

Thanks. that worked.

I have one more question :

I put this into my lang/english/main.php file:

Code: [Select]

$lang['user_realname'] = "Real Name:";

But whenever I use {lang_user_realname} in an html template file I get nothing.

[V@no]

that's right, u'll need register {user_realname} in "main" .php files.
Just search for:

Code: [Select]

$site_template->register_vars(array(
then u'll see bunch of

Code: [Select]

"something" => $whatever,
"sometingelse" => $somethingelse,
just add this line there:

Code: [Select]

"user_realname" => $lang['user_realname'],
make sure, that if u entered as last line in the array, there is no comma at the end of your line, and line above yours must have comma.

Works now. Thanks!

There are two ways you could do it.

1.

$site_template->register_vars(array(
"something" => "<img src=\"".get_gallery_image("something.gif")."\">"
));

Note: something.gif is being loaded automatically from your templates/<your_template>/images folder by using the get_gallery_image function (no matter which template folder you load by default from your configuration page under ACP). However, you'd just need to assure that your image's filename is being uploaded on all your personalized template to avoid questionnings from your users.

2. In your HTML template, after following the example above, you could simply add the <img src into the same file and use the tag like this if you wanted too :

<img src="{something}">

but, then, no. 1 above would become simply like this :

$site_template->register_vars(array(
"something" => get_gallery_image("something.gif")
));

hmmmmmm cool options but i mean something differnet (sorry for my english )

when user add (by control panel) some text as his description in profile and in this text is something like links to images or realy long strings of characters
it looks not to good so i want wrap words and dont show images (maybe links too other sites should be disabled but in this mement its not necessary)

The question is, where do you want to display it?

If, from your perspective of course, you think I don't understand people - then, at least, I know how to write english more than you do (including the fact it's not even my first language).

heh, good argument. I've told you this before, and telling you again: I know that my english is not good, I've never said its good, in fact I always say its not good enough. Besides that, its not even my second language...whatever. Please stop spam.

i need it (display) in user profile (member_profile.html)

PS. english is not my first language too so correct me if i wrote something wrong and be cool 

[V@no]

You can try this:
in member.php find:

Code: [Select]

$additional_field_array[$key] = (!empty($user_row[$key])) ? format_text($user_row[$key], 1) : REPLACE_EMPTY;Insert ^above

Code: [Select]

        if ($key == "yourfield")
          $additional_field_array[$key] = (!empty($user_row[$key])) ? format_text($user_row[$key], 0, XXX) : REPLACE_EMPTY;
        elseReplace yourfield with the name of your field and XXX with the number of characters per line for word wrap.
