Wohoo!
thx :-)
Appearance : Users Profile Page
should the categories not shown on users profile page?
Appearance : Edit Profile Fields
should there be button "not assigned" to see which profile fields have no categorie?
@manfred the categories will show when the user has entered some data in the fields of the category.
Unassigned profile fields should appear on the default tab. When a category is removed all its field should revert to the default category.
Hi,
Will there be any more updates for pre 1.8 versions?
Thanks,
Ciaran
@Ciaran new features will only be added to the Elgg 1.8 version of the Profile Manager
First, beautiful piece of work. Now on to the question...
I have a feeling this is a silly question but here goes anyways... I've finally figured out how categories and types work but I'm still confused about searching. How do I get to a page with search capability? It seems there is a simple search form and an advanced search form but I don't know how to get to them.
@morepower as stated in the release notes for this version:
Ahhh. RTFM :) Thanks for straightening me out.
Hi Jeroen
I had a problem with logging in when profile manager was enabled. basically I couldnt login. had to disable it and then login. I am running elgg 1.8.0.1 and had this version of profile manager installed.
any tips on getting past this issue?
There is a weird problem going on:
On the test version of elgg I used this, and I added an age field, which count's the user's age, and now always when I enable the modified profile manager, I then get a blank page :S
Hi Jeroen,
in the group fields settings page, you can create many new fields but only the first ten will show, making it difficult or impossible to edit the field 11, 12, etc.
elgg 1.801

@rufuz thanks for reporting the bug. It is fixed in the github version (https://github.com/ColdTrick/profile_manager). You can do it yourself also:
Goto: views/default/profile_manager/group_fields/list.php and replace line 18 with
@Jeroen The beta version seems work in some areas for 1.8 however using other field types produces certain unexpected behaviours, for instance when I enabled the longtext field type it somehow disabled any extra js on the edit.php page also multiselect does not work properly. I will do more investigation and give a more detaild feedback. Thanks
@charlie thanks for testing. Unfortunately i can't reproduce your issue. If you have more information, please let me know.
@Jeroen The following do not work as expected on firefox
multiselect (only shows the label and privacy dropdown)
date picker (shows a normal text area non-editable)
I am using v1.8 on XAMPP
These two field types seem to be responsible for the problem I mentioned earlier (extra js on edit file disabled)
I'd appreciate any help concerning this. Thanks
@charlie i still can't reproduce the issue. Could you try to use the latest version of the profile manager (https://github.com/ColdTrick/profile_manager) and Elgg? Or check if the issue is still available when you only have profile and profile manager active.
Hello,
i just want to add that i actually had a few problems with this plugin. It was showing just a few funtions and seem wierd - this was due to the path set up in the plugin. I got the latest GIT version which is named - "ColdTrick-profile_manager-d0a5704" and this was exactly the folder in my mod folder. After seeing a few screenshots how it should look like, i checked the paths to the graphics and the all lead to "profile_manager", renaming the plugin from "ColdTrick-profile_manager-d0a5704" to "profile_manager" and reenabling the plugin fixed the issues :)
@Pixelartist yep, if you download from git you must change the folder name to profile_manager (or unzip directly at the right location).
There are some reports that the Profile Manager is not working in the latest Elgg release (1.8.1). We will be testing it soon, so be patient.
@Jeroen I have finally figured out the problem. My theme plugin was somehow conflicting with the profile manager. Developers must take care when implementing forms on their plugins to ensure that their forms don't conflict with the profile manager. Finally I can start doing some real testing. Thanks for the great plugin, if I could I'd put in some major funding on this project. Keep up the awesome work
@Jeroen is there a possibilty of an option to move the extra text part to the top or so you can choose top/bottom,
@djSupport good idea, will try to add it in the next release
Cheers Joroen, I know I can modfiy the code myself but obviously the other less php minded can't
Este plurin es muy importante
Hello,
this is really a great PlugIn. But I have to do the registerform on my own, becuse I need some Ajax there. What is the right way to get the values of the fields in the database? All fields I use in the registerform I have also added in the profile manager, so that I can use them in the Profile.
for Example the fieldname is custom_profile_fields_country. What I have to do to get the value into the database?
Thanks
Tobi
