    EXTENDED Member info please!!!!

    Hi!

    I WOULD REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE SOME HELP IN THIS MATTER!!!!

    I have a request and would really like some help!
    It's to make it possible to have a greater register of the members. it's very needed and extremely useful!

    I would like my members to have these fields when they register:

    Username
    Password
    Password (again)
    E-mail for this username

    First name
    Middle name
    Last name

    Year of birth

    Home adress
    Street
    Postal code
    Town
    Country

    Work adress
    Company name
    Title of your profession
    Street
    Postal code
    Town
    Country

    Home contact
    Phone
    Fax
    E-mail
    Mobile phone
    Homepage

    Work contact
    Phone
    Fax
    E-mail
    Mobile phone
    Homepage


    Photo (upload a min. 100x100 and max. 400x400 px big image, max 500kbyte).




    Then I'd like to have in the members list all this to be shown as this, where @ means new column:


    [Username] @ [Lastname], [First name] @ [Main E-mail] @ [Home adress Street], [Home adress Postal code] [Home adress Town], [Home adress Country] @ [Home contact Phone]


    when visitor clicks at [Username] he gets this page:

    [Username]

    [First name] [Last name]
    [Year of birth] (written like: 25th february 1981)

    [Main E-mail]


    [Home contact Phone]
    [Home contact Mobile Phone]
    [Home contact Fax]
    [Home contact E-mail]
    [Home contact Homepage]

    [Home adress Street]
    [Home adress Postal code] [Home adress Town]
    [Home adress Country]

    [Work contact Phone]
    [Work contact Mobile Phone]
    [Work contact Fax]
    [Work contact E-mail]
    [Work contact Homepage]

    [Work adress Title of your profession]
    [Work adress Company name]

    [Work adress Postal code] [Home adress Town]
    [Work adress Country]

    Now would it be possible to do this!??? I think it would be great to have contact information in members information so that they can manage it themselves, i dont have to write their names once more in an adressbook etc. etc....



    Could you help me to make this!??? I'm not good at PHP but good at HTML. I'm about to learn PHP. Will this be very difficult, to change the postnuke database and everything!??

    alternativly, this could be ana dressbook managed outside of the postnuke database, so it doesn't interfer with future postnuke upgrades etc.. but the main idea is to have users to fill it in themselves! :)

    Thanks for help! WOULD REALLY APPRCIATE IT!

  • Anyone else!??? anyeon thinks this would be good??? anyone intersted in developing this feature!?


    thx ! /CHEETAH
  • I would like some extra core required fields for registration. I don't need as many as you need though.
  • i'd like fields to be possible to add, delete and change and edit in admin-center! that would be awesome!
  • Anyone have a mod for this or know when it will be implemented!??
  • I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'm not giving that much information to any website. Not gonna happen.

    Now, FYI, here's what the old new user registration page looked like.

    Here is the new one.

    Certainly you could attempt to add additional fields for your users, but good luck having them actually fill it all in.
  • thx. thing is this is a personal homepage, only for relatives. so information is crucial. i guess people could also use it for work-homepages etc.

    anyway now how can i do that!?? where do i have to make a change to add one field? how to make it visible at all pages that the others are!? isn't there any mod for this!???
  • Just for fun I added a few additional fields to the members "Info" page..

    http://mswebdesign.com/fun/newfieldstest.jpg

    I've got no clue if I did it right though. LOL ;)
  • Well, it does not appear on the members list or if you click my profile, but I see it does now show those new fields on new user signup.

    I bet you could do this if you had a little time and an extra PostNuke site laying around you dont mind breaking a few times. :)
  • cool. now on which pagefiles do i have to edit?

    1.) database (edited through useradministration in admin center, right?)
    2.) Registerpage
    3.) Userpage
    4.) Userpage in memberslist

    but where on those pages!??? any more pages???

    real thx for help!
  • I've added those additional fields thru the Dynamic User Data section of User Administration. Now, in speaking with Mark West about this he helped me to try and understand this better (thanks Mark) so I'm just going to quote him here for you..

    With .723 there are a couple of obstacles. There is no API to access the fields thus you have to go direct to the tables (not good) and neither the users module or members list module use these fields (due to the lack of an API).

    I've already placed in CVS a DynamicUserData module that provides the API. We can then look at the users module and members list module to use the DUD API to access and display/populate these fields.



    In other words, there's more work to do on this so that it works the way you, and others want it to, but it is being looked into.
  • where can i get that module from then!?? :p

    It's not as simple as 'getting the module'. The module is part of CVS for the upcoming release of PN. There are two modules involved in the process. Dynamic User Data replaces the DUD editing code from the users module.

    Then the Members List module is edited to use the API's that are part of this module. The members list module in CVS doesn't yet use DUD but this is only my list of things to do over the next week or so (along with some tidying up of the DUD module).

    Patience is the key here. You must remember you are using a sofware product that is pre v1.0 and as such some areas are not complete. There is also a difference between doing something properly and a quick hack.

    I'm not the project manger so I can't comment on an actual release date. I write some code, others write more code, others QA it and once this process is finished the project manager will announce a feature freeze and the release will be tested.

    All I can say is that the code i'm working on is coming along nicely.

    The modules you mention will not be integrated. This is not the PN way of doing things. PNs aim to write to good solid core framework that allows third party devs the best set of tools for writing modules.

    Features like DUD are part of this. A gallery, calendar, forum etc are not. For every user that wants a gallery there are ten that don't. Third party developers have an important part to play in PN.
