@Stéphane: version 7.6.1 won't work on Elgg 1.9. Wait for an updated version. As far as I know it's already in the works (https://github.com/ColdTrick/profile_manager) but maybe not yet finished.

I test this one (on github and I have some issue). So I am wondering if it is me or the 7.7 version.

Okay, so I try one more time this mornins and I have some issue with this version. It seems to have some conflicts (drag and drop don't work in the plugin panel and some other things).

It's 100% possible that there are some JS issues on 1.9

What is your console saying?

Version 7.7 is not for 1.9. You could download the master version from github, but it could contain bugs as it is not fully tested.

Ok. Thanks.

@Jeroen - I think it is the master version from github.

@Dries - the console of Elgg ?

No, you browsers, each modern browsers has a console to debug JavaScript errors for instance. That way you can see which code is failing. 

Hello,

there is a simple way to retrieve the list of options of a Profile Fields dropdown box from another plugin ?

e.g. I've a custom field "preferred_color" that is a dropdown with options "red,green,blue", I need in a plugin I'm developing to have an array with values "red,green,blue".

Thanks in advance

Ok, I find that the position in the plugin list impact the issue. If I put it at the last it is ok.

Hi, I activated the pm_file type which was grayed out and customized the code to allow for file upload on registration.

However, i need guidance on how to manipulate the profile viewing page to show link to this file. How would you advice me to go about it?

i've just setup a lightbox here to contain the register form and so far it is working ok. except that i just noticed that the form auto-validation is not working in the lightbox. i looked through the profile_manager code briefly and didn't see why this is occurring yet.

any thoughts on how to resolve this?
thanks

oh, so apparently fancybox doesn't play with javascript in a simple way. i found this thread in the fancybox support forum:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/fancybox/javascript/fancybox/kBynOFCK3uk/ZHFua_IXXzEJ

edit: i just added this just before the button link that opens the register lightbox:

              echo '<script type="text/javascript">
                $(".elgg-lightbox").fancybox({  "onComplete": function(){
                        // any javascript here
                         elgg.profile_manager.init;
                          }
                });</script>';

i also tested this code by adding a javascript popup alert to be triggered by it.. yet no alert was shown.
so maybe the onComplete event is not being processed as i think it should be.
wow, this is complicated! lol

i have resolved this issue now by calling the profile manager init js function in my ajax registration form.

 -> elgg.profile_manager.init()

i found along the way that the 'accept terms' button defaults to 'yes', whereas a default of 'no' is usually more appropriate. plus i also found that the digest plugin adds a checkbox to the registration form that does not appear to work (plus the formatting is does not conform to the standard format for input/labels).
as far as i can see i am passing the digest variable to the register form correctly.. but the value is being ignored.

anyway.. now i have lightbox enabled register and lost password forms. :)

Thanks for this great plugin.

Will the next version have categories for groups?

I used social connect to allow users to log in using LinkedIn. I've created a profile field trying to store user's LinkedIn URL. But how would I be able to retrieve that field?

Thanks

How do you echo custom fields in places besides the profile? For example I want to display some fields about the page owner in the sidebar of their pages. I know how to edit the sidebar. I don't know what to put.

Hello all I have the latest version but am experiencing a bit of an issue. It appears to be working well, but the form to edit or add a new field seems to be broken. The dropdown boxes are grayed out and I am unable to edit them. Also, whenever I edit one of the default fields and hit save, the field type turns into just empty brackets (e.g. goes from 'phone [text]' to 'phone[]') even if I don't change anything in the form.

Just wondering if the author knows about the issue and if I'm just dumb and doing something terribly wrong :)

Also of note, my operating system is Ubuntu 14.04, and I've tested using Google Chrome, as well as Firefox with the same result. Thanks lots!

Greetings,

in my profile, I want that the user fill in the followed fields:

field of knowledge | qualification | activities | Years of Experience

The fields of this group should in a line.

The user should create many line of this field groups (field of knowledge | qualification | activities | Years of Experience)

Is this possible?

Thank you!

A much-needed plugin, but...

I'm using Elgg 1.8.19 and Profile Manager 7.6.1. Even though I create dropdown fields in the profile and select "show on profile as tags" the search members by tag facility does not find these tags.

Secondly, in a future release is it possible to implement the option for dynamic dropdown lists that autopopulate as would be used when selecting country/state/city etc?

I'm using Elgg 1.8.19 with Profile Manager 7.6.1. A great plugin for adding additional fields. 

I would like to add 'location' field to group fields. But it is not coming in Field type for Group Fields. But I am able to add 'location' field to Profile. Is there any way I can get 'location' field to Group using PM?

@apaleja the 7.7 version (only on github) contains that option

I am using Elgg 1.8 and I have a little problem.  I have different type of profile each with their own fields to fill out at the registration page.

However, when I open the registration page  those fields appear for a split second and then disappear.  ???

 I installed "Profile Manager 7.6.1" on ELGG-1-8.19 When editing group fields I clicked import defaults, This removed the owner field icon from the edit group page. How do I  re add this to group profile fields? 

Ok so as it turns out, apparently profile manager is older then the change ownership setting in elgg-1.8.19

The work around is to NOT TOUCH the group setting in Profile manager, and use group tools to make your group setting adjustment.  I hope someone else finds this useful. Thanks Jeroen for the email.
