The user didn't have access to change this information, but could view it in their profile. Only I could modify this info and only in the control panel. To do this with the old CP, I disabled custom fields and then added the display to the user's profile and added the editing function to the CP. It was simple with some template work. I am having trouble building this into the new 6.6 control panel's profile editing page. I would appreciate any advice on how I might do this. BTW, the information in these fields are images and I used to have the image displayed next to the field. With the highly structured way things are done now with 6.6, I don't know how I would do this either. "For who would lie idle when the king has returned?" www.MinasTirith.com

If you mean show the image in the public profile, just do Code <img src="$user_profile[19]" alt="-" /> You could change the number to whichever field you wanted to use. I don't know how to show it in the cp though

Now, a lot of the HTML is generated and I am unsure how to fit in custom template changes on pages like these. For example, if you disable custom fields, they aren't displayed at all. Those fields are removed from the list of things to be generated. How do you get it to display without being able to edit? How do you add a simple image statement next to it, when the template is limited to what is setup to be generated? I fear what used to be a simple template change will now require major effort.

ok, this will allow you to remove the ability of the members to change the fields.

in public_edit_profile.pl
find:

Code

if (($vars_registration{custom1_field_use} ne 'DEL') && ($vars_registration{customfield1} ne '')) {

	if ($vars_registration{custom1_field_use} eq 'REQ') {
		$B1 = '<b>';
		$B2 = '</b>';
	} else {
		$B1 = '';
		$B2 = '';
	}

	print <<THISFIELD;

<tr bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}">
<td>
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$B1$vars_registration{customfield1}$B2:
</font>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="customfield1" value="$user_profile[16]" size="35" maxlength="80" />
</td>
</tr>

THISFIELD

}    # end field



if (($vars_registration{custom2_field_use} ne 'DEL') && ($vars_registration{customfield2} ne '')) {

	if ($vars_registration{custom2_field_use} eq 'REQ') {
		$B1 = '<b>';
		$B2 = '</b>';
	} else {
		$B1 = '';
		$B2 = '';
	}

	print <<THISFIELD;

<tr bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}">
<td>
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$B1$vars_registration{customfield2}$B2:
</font>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="customfield2" value="$user_profile[17]" size="35" maxlength="80" />
</td>
</tr>

THISFIELD

}    # end field



if (($vars_registration{custom3_field_use} ne 'DEL') && ($vars_registration{customfield3} ne '')) {

	if ($vars_registration{custom3_field_use} eq 'REQ') {
		$B1 = '<b>';
		$B2 = '</b>';
	} else {
		$B1 = '';
		$B2 = '';
	}

	print <<THISFIELD;

<tr bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}">

<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$B1$vars_registration{customfield3}$B2:
</font>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="customfield3" value="$user_profile[18]" size="35" maxlength="80" />
</td>
</tr>

THISFIELD

}    # end field

if (($vars_registration{custom4_field_use} ne 'DEL') && ($vars_registration{customfield4} ne '')) {

	if ($vars_registration{custom4_field_use} eq 'REQ') {
		$B1 = '<b>';
		$B2 = '</b>';
	} else {
		$B1 = '';
		$B2 = '';
	}

	print <<THISFIELD;

<tr bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}">
<td>
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$B1$vars_registration{customfield4}$B2:
</font>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="customfield4" value="$user_profile[19]" size="35" maxlength="80" />
</td>
</tr>

THISFIELD

}    # end field

DELETE IT!

in public_register_form.pl
find:

Code

	# Custom 1
	print &GenerateLineHTML($vars_registration{custom1_field_use},
	$vars_registration{customfield1}, "", "customfield1", "text", 35, 80, 0);

	# Custom 2
	print &GenerateLineHTML($vars_registration{custom2_field_use},
	$vars_registration{customfield2}, "", "customfield2", "text", 35, 80, 0);

	# Custom 3
	print &GenerateLineHTML($vars_registration{custom3_field_use},
	$vars_registration{customfield3}, "", "customfield3", "text", 35, 80, 0);

	# Custom 4
	print &GenerateLineHTML($vars_registration{custom4_field_use},
	$vars_registration{customfield4}, "", "customfield4", "text", 35, 80, 0);

DELETE IT!

in ubb_profile.cgi
find:

Code

	$user_profile[16] = &CensorCheck($in{customfield1});
	$user_profile[17] = &CensorCheck($in{customfield2});
	$user_profile[18] = &CensorCheck($in{customfield3});
	$user_profile[19] = &CensorCheck($in{customfield4});

DELETE IT! (This removes the ability of a member to edit the html output to allow him to change the value

Now just enable the custom fields in the cp, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT REQUIRED!

It will display in people's profiles like normal, people can't edit it, and you don't even need to touch the CP's code
