write it after the last "print FILE" string there. standard is after

print FILE "$member{'hideemail'}\n"; 

( mention the hide... )

to write all in one line u can write the following:
print FILE "$member{'bday3'}/$member{'bday2'}/$member{'bday1'}\n";

mention that u have to read it out correct before displaying it again in profile.
( sry 4 my bad english in the last sentence - hope u understand it )

Hi,

I followed the tutorial exactly as told to (i think!), I got the new field to show up in the registration, which works fine. But if I go to profile it states the new field for example <b>Company:</b> but the field is blank.

Can you think of anything off the top of yur head why this is happening, I have gone over the tutorial many times without resolve and looked for a solution on the forum but came up with nothing.

Please help.

check in which line it is written in the user file and change the memsettings value .. to the line number minus one.

Okie,

THanks Pixel, that worked, I think,

Let me ask you something though:

I noticed that on line 20 of the .dat files some other information is there, but assuming it counts line number -1,  I shouldn't need to worry about this. At the moment the added info is sitting on line 21, thus as you said, $memsettings[20] (line number -1)

Am I right??

Leeeeeeeeeeeech!

FINALLY! I sorted it out, it was a duplicate entry I made in the post section of the profile.pl

Okie,

thanks for the help.

Also, did anyone actually get their additions working first time from T-Masters tutorial??

Leeeeeeech!

yep right. in informatic mostly the numbers begins with 0.

i'll ask michael to change the tutorial.

but first: what other probs did u have and how did u solve them?
how should the tutorial be modified so other ppl doesn't make the same failures in the feature?
plz give me feadback

Hi Guys,

Well, to be honest T-Master, I couldn't get much to work from your tutorial.

In the end I took this tutorial http://boardmod.yabbforum.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=tutorials;action=display;num=99...

Although this tutorial is from an earlier version of Yabb, I managed to figure out how to do things by combining your tutorial and this one.

I think the other tutorial is a little more clear and to the point. Don't get me wrong I think your help is great and it is much appreciated and please keep it up.

Hum, at the moment I have the registration working with an extra field, that updates the user.dat, and is output to the profiles pages. This is what I wanted.

I couldn't get any output to the actual posts or IMs.

I would have thought that you would need to edit your Display.pl to get output to these areas, but you never mentioned this in your tutorial so I just left it out.

Can you let me know how to do this, I can get it to display the name of the field, but not the value from the user.dat .. example:

Leech
Administrator
stars
Company name:

Avater

I obviously dont want the field name but the value.

Thanks to T-Master and chaospixel.


Leeeeeeeech!

Howdy YZ400,

No Problem, I have attached the files to this message in zip format.

These 4 files have other mods and alterations, so it might look confusing, sorry.

If you need any more help or any other files get hold of me ASAP, because I am out at a client today, then I go on holiday for 2 weeks on friday.

Hope it helps you out,

Leeeeeeech!
