User-editable Custom Titles

   I have a small site that needs very little moderation. I'd like for my users to have the power to change their own Custom Title, instead of sending me a Private Message with a request.

   I can't figure out how to make that change, though. Any ideas?

   You need to write a plugin that will be called on a hook in the profile, where it adds to the associative array $profile_info_keys an entry with key 'bb_title' - I think. To see how to do that, look at some other plugin that adds fields to the profile info thingy.

   Well, I don't know the first thing about writing plugins, so if somebody can help out, I'd appreciate it. :)

   in functions.php find function get_profile_admin_keys() {, and move $bb_table_prefix . 'title' => array(0, __('User Title')) from that function's array to function get_profile_info_keys()

   Hmm.... not sure to how to change that code without getting errors (I'm running 0.9.0.1 on this particular forum).

   function get_profile_info_keys() {
   	return apply_filters(
   		'get_profile_info_keys',
   		array('user_email' => array(1, __('Email')), 'user_url' => array(0, __('Website')), 'from' => array(0, __('Location')), 'occ' => array(0, __('Occupation')), 'interest' => array(0, __('Interests')))
   	);
   }
   
   function get_profile_admin_keys() {
   	global $bbdb;
   	return apply_filters(
   		'get_profile_admin_keys',
   		array($bbdb->prefix . 'title' => array(0, __('Custom Title')))
   	);
   }

   Do just like parabolart said. You should paste the text inside the () after the array for get_profile_admin_keys and separate it from the other ones with a comma.

   I think I need a little help with this one. I'm running 0.9.0.2 now.

   Here's the section in functions.php:

   function get_profile_info_keys() {
   	return apply_filters( 'get_profile_info_keys', array(
   		'user_email' => array(1, __('Email')),
   		'user_url' => array(0, __('Website')),
   		'from' => array(0, __('Location')),
   		'occ' => array(0, __('Occupation')),
   		'interest' => array(0, __('Interests')),
   	) );
   }
   
   function get_profile_admin_keys() {
   	global $bbdb;
   	return apply_filters( 'get_profile_admin_keys', array(
   		$bbdb->prefix . 'title' => array(0, __('Custom Title'))
   	) );
   }

   So if I move that section up to get_profile_info_keys, it should look like this, correct?

   function get_profile_info_keys() {
   	global $bbdb;
   	return apply_filters( 'get_profile_info_keys', array(
   		'user_email' => array(1, __('Email')),
   		'user_url' => array(0, __('Website')),
   		'from' => array(0, __('Location')),
   		'occ' => array(0, __('Occupation')),
   		'interest' => array(0, __('Interests')),
   		$bbdb->prefix . 'title' => array(0, __('Custom Title')),
   	) );
   }

   That pretty much removes everything from get_profile_admin_keys, so do I just take that entire section out?

   Thanks for the helping hand...

   I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say "thanks" to parabolart. I did as you suggested and it worked perfectly!

   Never hack the core.
   Especially when that function is right there designed to be filtered.

   see this apply_filters( 'get_profile_info_keys', array(

   It means you can make a simple plugin to modify the info keys on the fly.
   Untested but should work as a plugin:
   

   /*
   Plugin Name: Allow Title Edit
   */
   add_filter ('get_profile_info_keys', 'allow_title_edit');
   
   function allow_title_edit($array) {
   if (bb_current_user_can('participate')) {
   global $bbdb;
   $array[$bbdb->prefix.'title']= array(0, __('Custom Title'));
   }
   return $array;
   }
