Profile Field Positions - Posted By ashkir (ashkir) on 24th Mar 11 at 9:13pm
I love profile fields here. But, for some longer ones such as text areas, etc. I'd like a way to exclude some fields from the miniprofile.

I think this can be done with a simple yes/no dropdown or radio choice for "Include in miniprofile?" and have the default be yes.

This is a bit annoying as you can see here:

I believe this can already be done using the Custom Templates feature. {Smile}

How would I be able to do that Marc? I want to keep galleons, etc, but not that large textarea.

On the page where you edit the template, on the right side there should be a list of possible variables; scroll down until you see "Custom Profile Fields".

Find Galleons, Sickles, Knuts, etc. (all the ones you want to keep), then replace the line {additional_info} with the following:

Code:
Select All
 
  1. {custom_name_#}: {custom_value_#}<br />
  2. {custom_name_#}: {custom_value_#}<br />
  3. {custom_name_#}: {custom_value_#}<br />
 


Just remember to replace # with the ID of each field. {Smile}

No worries, let me know how it goes. {Smile}
Re: Profile Field Positions - Posted By ashkir (ashkir) on 26th Mar 11 at 9:47pm
Posting the original code here so I don't lose it

Code:
Select All
 
  1. {foreach:custom_fields}
  2.         {custom_name}:<br />  {custom_value}<br />

Hey Marc.

How about if I want to have a display field that's optional like this. My value is {custom_value_12}

I'd want to display this:

<b>Graduate of</b> {custom_value_12}


However, if it's not filled in, I don't want the "Graduate of blank" be here. How would I do that?
Re: Profile Field Positions - Posted By Ross (admin) on 1st Apr 11 at 8:54am
Should be:

{if:custom_value_12}
<b>Graduate of</b> {custom_value_12}
{/if}

Hi Ross.

Why on only one page: http://starsinsilence.com/profile/jake

Do the links show up as http://starsinsilence.com/profile/0 I even got this: http://starsinsilence.com/profile/%7Bcustom_value_12%7D

When I left the field blank? :|

My template code

  68. {/if}
  69.     </center>
  70. </font>
 


Edit: Since I couldn't get them to disappear by entering text, and then removing it. I jsut added this "javascript:alert('Not yet made');" to make an alert then. But sadly it has to be manually done.

And tried to remove the text from the field. It still automatically puts a "0" in it. And I cannot seem to remove it to make the entry disappear. bug?
