I have just thought of another question and I'm not sure whether I should direct it here or in the YAMS Mod thread but basically I was wondering whether there is any way of including the AGE of users in the members list?  It's an important field for me and it would be great to have it displayed in the list.

I am having one small problem with this mod, and I really don't even know what to look for to fix it. My problem is this, I only needed to add one additional field, a date field so that my users could also put in their sobriety date (its an addiction and recovery site). Since, I did not know how to just add one field, and I wanted to be able to, at some time, install a calendar that might have the capability of recognizing this date, I installed the extended profiles mod.

Everything installed fine, and I added the new date field, then went into options. I entered the comment that should show under the title in smaller print on the profile page and only checked Editable by Members, and Viewable in Profile.

Well, it does show up on the profile page, and it works. Everything is fine, EXCEPT for the fact that the description does NOT show up under the title.

I checked extended_profiles_fields.txt in the Variables folder, and it shows:

Sobriety Date|date||1|Enter your clean-sober-abstinent date.|0|1|||0|||0|0|||1 

If anyone could either tell me how to entirely remove extended profiles and JUST add one additional date field to the profile, or tell me how to fix this so it shows the comment description under the title, I would appreciate it SO much.

Okay, so that is one question down. Extended profiles is the right mod. The other part... I actually did not want it to show on posts, only on the profile. I suppose it wouldn't kill me to have it show on posts (if that is, in fact. the only way to make the description show up on the edit profile page) but my problem isn't really the field not showing up (on the profile edit page for members) but that the description is not there.

So, where, for example the Edit Profile page shows Website title: and directly under it, in small print, it gives the member some instructions, such as "This must be included if you specify a URL below." It is this text for the new Sobriety Date that is not showing up. The small font instructions that I entered under the Comment field in the Options page does not show up when members go to edit their profiles.

I added this information because it felt to me like your response did not actually pertain to my problem, and I figured I probably did not explain myself very well. I still may not have, but I am hoping!

Thanks for your help, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me.

There you go, v1.2.3 has been released. It will fix your problem. See first post for download link

If you already followed the instructions of post #201, then there is no need to install the new version.

That would be a lot more difficult than adding new fields to the list. You'd need something like a new subroutine for every new field. There might be other possibilities but I don't have the time at hand for this right now.

That's not as easy as it looks like in the first place. This mod uses as much of YaBB's internal functions as possible to reduce code size. As a result, you'll need those functions and variables before you can include ExtendedProfiles.pl. For example you need ToHTML, $FORM, fopen, fclose, $settings[...], $username, all language vars, fatal_error... to name just a few of them.

Also note that ext_saveprofile can only save complete profiles, not parts of it. Also, it does no validation of the values you pass to it. Validation is done in sub ext_validate_submition which requires a lof of other ext_.... subs.
