I'll have to try/test that then Josh.. thanks for pointing that out.. ;) :)</p> <p>spencerp </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields#post-2672 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 07:29:16 +0000 ardentfrost 2672@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I think he means he wants the ability to add new ones or take away some on his own, possibly through a nice interface. It's not a bad idea. </p> <p>For now, though, if you want to change it, make a file in your my-plugins directory and put this in it:</p> <p><code>&lt;?php<br /> function get_profile_info_keys_personal() {<br /> return array(&#39;user_email&#39; =&gt; array(1, __(&#39;Email&#39;)), &#39;user_url&#39; =&gt; array(0, __(&#39;Website&#39;)), &#39;from&#39; =&gt; array(0, __(&#39;Location&#39;)), &#39;occ&#39; =&gt; array(0, __(&#39;Occupation&#39;)), &#39;interest&#39; =&gt; array(0, __(&#39;Interests&#39;)));<br /> }<br /> add_filter(&#39;get_profile_info_keys&#39;, &#39;get_profile_info_keys_personal&#39;);<br /> ?&gt;</code></p> <p>Then you can add or take away whatever you want.</p> <p>However, you will need to know a little more about how other plugins work. For instance if you use my avatar plugin, you would need to add into that file <code>&#39;avatar_loc&#39; =&gt; array(0,__(&#39;Avatar URL&#39;))</code> (into that long line) and comment out part of my plugin.</p> <p>A plugin to do all of that automatically wouldn't be hard, but would need to be done in such a way so that people can write plugins to interface it (so, for instance, I could interface it from my avatar plugin to make sure that the part I need is inserted into the line).</p> <p>I only mention that so that if anyone decides to tackle the plugin before I do, they're sure to account for that ;) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields#post-2671 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 07:18:26 +0000 spencerp 2671@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Some of that is already implemented into the bbPress forum software, for the messengers.. try this thread..<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404?replies=11" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404?replies=11</a></p> <p>spencerp </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields#post-2670 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 07:10:33 +0000 Mistainu 2670@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>this really cool feature is available in Vanilla and i really do think bbPress should use it too. rather than everyone creating a specific plugin and/or hack for adding new fields: DOB, website, messengers, quote, interests, etc... why not have it user specified?</p> <p>like say i'm in my profile editing page, i can choose to fill in the existing fields, or add new ones of my choice. say i create a new field: "mobile number", then i fill in the field's data and save it for my profile. nobody else will have this "mobile number" field in his/her profile page except me (unless they add such a one too).</p> <p>in a future version, i suppose some ajax could be employed where as we type in the "field name" there would be a live search suggesting similar (if not matching) existing fields.</p> <p>what do you guys think? </p>
