So I have someone who wants to add name and phone number to their registration collection. Neither the forum or wordpress needs that info so it just has to end up on the administrators confirmaiton. Is there a simple way to add that to the code? I'm guessing I need to add lines similar to this one on the sf-registration.php?:
<label><?php _e('Username:', “sforum”) ?><br />
<input type=”text” name=”user_login” id=”user_login” class=”sfcontrol” value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1); ?>” size=”20″ tabindex=”1″ /></label>
</p>
But before I start playing with it I don't want to screw up the form as is.
Thanks of of course for a great plug in and for taking time to look.

if WP or this plugin dont offer this feature at all then your going to have to add tables to the DB as well so the data is saved.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/register-plus/
Take a look at that plugin as well i “think” custom feilds can be added very easily

Yes they can with that plugin but it wont work with SPF3.1.4 - it will with V4 when it is released.
That kind of extra profile data actualy goes in the WP usermeta table so yes - it needs to be saved to the database but doesnlt need a whole table.
I guess the first question has to be are yoiu able to write the necessary code? It is fairly straightforward but is going to need some skill and crafting.

Hi,
Ok, so. . that does go beyond my skill and crafting abilities. Is this something we can ask you to do, and if so can I get a quote for the client? If you'd like just contact me off the board. Thanks!

I doubt it! You were right in the first post that you need to replicate two fields just like that - giving them unique data names.
In the sf-forms.php file - function sf_profile() you will need to call in the two bits of data. Use the 'location' field as your template changing the name 'location' to your chosen field names.
Then in the file sf-database.php in the function sf_save_profile() you just need to add the two new fields to be saved and again - you can use the 'location' field as your template.
It an't really rocket science!
Can you do that?

Yeah, I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake! However, I must have missed something. . . Here are the examples of what I did. .
sf-registration - added lines for the form
<p>
<label><?php _e('Address:', “sforum”) ?><br />
<input type=”textarea” name=”user_address” id=”user_address” class=”sfcontrol” value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_address), 1); ?>” size=”25″ tabindex=”2″ /></label>
</p>
Sf-forms.php added lines
$profile['address']=sf_attribute_escape($current_user->address);
Sf-database.php added lines
update_usermeta($current_user->ID, 'address', wp_specialchars(sf_filter_nohtml_kses(trim($_POST['address']))));
So the form is still working amazingly but the new data is not going to the database or the administrator email. So, what did I miss?
Thanks a lot!

I misread it and thought you were adding this to the profile page. The profiloe forms and registration frms are two discreet items. The instructions I gacve you were for the profile form only. But the principle is the same.
You can't 'display/collect data' and 'save/update' it in the same place or piece of code. There has to be a display/rendering/data collection routine AND a database update routine.
In the registration code everything between the comments - Regiistration Action - is the save/update routine and everythng below that (down to the Lost Password comment) is the form display.
Worth noting that this file will no longer exist in V4 however.

Well, I know you're going to do this for V4, but I need to try to handle it until then. (blast!!)
So I understand what I've done is created the fields to collect the data and the displays in their profile to show the data. What I need to do is collect the data (phone & address) then ship it off in the amin email. Heck, as long as the phone and address went to the Admin, we would'nt really have to collect it.
So in the save/update which I beleive you are saying is between the #Register Action comment & the Registration form comment. At first glance it looks to me that I have to add addional line for each (phone, Address) to the check admin section. . Then update this line “$user_id = wp_create_user( $user_login, $user_pass, $user_email );” to reflect the new data as well $user_phone, $user_address. Is that correct?
Also is there any other updates on the sf-database.php? I can't see it, but I'm pretty fresh to php code so I'm not sure I'd see an elephant if it were staring at me!
Thanks again,

No no no. This isn't going to work. Yoiu want to add this to thew admins email? Then you are needing to hack WP code as well as forum code. I would advise against this.

ok, I was wondering about that actually the more I thought it though. However, it should be able to just be added to the database correct?
|
|
|
|
|
yes - that's what the calls to the USERMETA table do and that is the right place to store them.

Ok. Hey, I want to say thanks again for taking time with me on this. I appreicate it and I'm learning a lot as I go.
So I went ahead and inserted the two new bits on registration action.
$user_id = wp_create_user( $user_login, $user_pass, $user_email, $user_phone, $user_address );
if ( !$user_id )
Since this is not on my server it's a bit of a hassle each time i need to check the tables. I have to upload files, then have their IT guy send me the results of a test. Is there any reason that I should have to add the checks for user_phone & address as well? I am thinking about security issues if someone could just add any sort of code there and cause problems. Maybe I'm overthinking it but I wanted to check.

Why are you trying to tack these on the end of wp_create_uer? or does that work?

I just have a question, when I try adding more fields, it doesn't work. But when I replace existing fields like “icq” for “age” it does work. Do you have any idea why that is? I've made sure I defined everything correctly, but it always gives me a T_field error when trying to add new fields.
|
|
|
|
|
perhaps I'm being stupid but I don't knw what a T_FIELD error is. perhaps a little more detail might help and the full error message text.

t-field error is a php error indicating you have the wrong types (often caused by syntax errors) in a php statement… usually very easy to debug… yes, full error message and the corresponding line of code that generates the error message…
|
|
|
|
|
I have never had one then! And I looked it up in the php manual error codes and it didn't get a mention. Most odd.

Actually I am getting a new error now.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in plugins/simple-forum/forum/sf-database.php on line 1550
BTW, I was just wondering, is it possible to replace author_url with the profile popup throughout Wordpress? So when you click on someone's name it will bring up their profile instead of their website?

have you modified sf-database.php?? need to see the whole section or function that you have modified…
no, there is not an option to replace the url… the code change is a bit involved but could pass it along if interested…

I have. I just redid it now field by field and it is working for the most part. One field keeps producing the same result from a different field, even though everything is right and I see the usermeta in the databse… guess I'll just have to comb through that slowly again.
I would be interested in knowing the code change for it, please email it to my email saint_cardinal@hotmail.com

Actually it's not quite so simple. It's not just a link to the popup. It also needs certain CSS and javascript loaded. if you're up to all of that I can point you in the right direction.

I don't mind. I would love to know, Andy. If you or Mr Papa can point me in a general direction I'd really appreciate that.

OK - well this might get complicated so it would be best to take it one step at a time. Am bound to miss stuff. So
- In the file 'sf-startup.php' is the function sf_setup_header() you will find the script that loads HighSlide. It starts where it begins to echo the Script tag and ends with the last echo statement (11 code lines). This script will need to be placed in your theme header file - and remember this is php so will need opening and closing php tags unles you place it inside existing tags.
- In the file 'sf-topiccomponents.php' right at the very bottom is a function named sf_render_extended_profile_url(). There are two lines of code there (lines starting $site= and $out=) and you need them both.
- They currently display the profile icon/button as you will see but you can change that of course. Note that the user id must be known and used.
I am not saying this will work as I have never tried it. But it's the best I can do to get you started and then we have to look at the result before progressing further.
By the way - some of this may no longer work in V4 although I can't be sure of that without trying it….
