again questions regarding profiles and synchronization

hello,

I am still working on a page, showing all users profiles, will make a check if browsing user is logged in and if not only show a small part of users profiles, otherwise show all details. check out here: http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/about/

Now my problem is I do add certain fields to the users profile with this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/register-plus/

any ideas how to synchronize the wordpress user profile with the forum profile? any ideas? I mean those added fields do not show up in the forum profile, but the forum profile also has more fields than the blog profile :-( this is all so confusing for users…

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this in future?

i.e. in the forum profile there is a skype field for me to have a skype field in the blog profiels, I had to add that field with the register plus plugin, but now a user has to input his skype name twice, once in the forum profile and once in the blog profile :-(

sorry to be a nuisance but I just have to correct myself: the fields ICQ and Skype which I created with the register plus plugin, seem to have been synchronized with the two existing fields from teh forum profile named ICQ and Skype.

Thats great news, now I only need to figure out all user profiel fields that the Forum adds/uses :-)

In the forunm folder /admin/help/documentation - in the file options.txt - there is a list at the very bottom. I believe the only 'profile' fields we added are skype, icq and msn.

found it:

User_meta:

    sfadmin             Name to display on Admins posts
    location            User location
    msn                  msn id
    skype               skype id

thx for the hint, I would have never found this without your help :-)

I am just confused by the translations. I added a field called ICQ with register plus, only to find out, that users had already entered their ICQ number in their forum field named ICQ… I guess tehre are some issues with the translation, as SF does not add the field ICQ just the 4 mentioned above..

'sfadmin' has been removed in 3.2 and you should be able to ignore that in your version too.

UserMeta items like ICQ and MSN are only added if the user actually fills them in. We do not store empty entries for them.
