I previously created some custom fields before purchasing the User module. I would still like to use these fields. Is that possible with the module. If so, please explain.

Thanks

We’re talking about custom member fields are we not? If so, then User will work with those perfectly easily. Browse through the documentation. It should be fairly clear there.

From your documenation, the below works for drop downs:

<select name="state">
{select_state}
<option value="{value}">{value}</option>
{/select_state}
</select>

But what about inputs? I have a field called company_name. Should {company_name} go in the name value?

<p class="">Company Name
<input type="text" name="{company_name}" value="" class="input" size="25" />
  </p>

If you’re referring to editing a profile, then yes, you should have the custom field variable in the value smile

So then then the following would be correct:

<p class="">Company Name
<input type="text" name="company_name"  value="{company_name}" class="input" size="25" />
  </p>

Thanks!!  I think you should add that input example to your documentation. Just my friendly advice.

However, the Module works excellent!

Great Work!! It has saved me so much time. it worth the $89 just from a time standpoint. Too bad the EE membership templates don’t work like your module.

Hold on one quick minute. The correct code is as follows:

<p class="">Company Name
<input type="text" name="company_name"  value="" class="input" size="25" />
  </p>

the field name goes in the “name” field with out the curly brackets.

Hehe, I hope EE never catches on to this either raspberry :D

Are you using this code on a Register page or an Edit page?

I’ll be using the code on both a register and edit page. I just finished the basic coding of the register page and will do the basic coding for the edit. Afterward I’ll clean up, add styles, and some javascript code.

Well then your code will look different for either:

Registration Page

<p class="">Company Name: <input type="text" name="company_name" value="" class="input" size="25" /> </p>

Edit Page

<p class="">Company Name: <input type="text" name="company_name" value="{company_name}" class="input" size="25" /> </p>

Can you suggest a way to create subscribing and unsubscribing to email newsletter in profile? I just want to use radio buttons.  I use freefrom in another place for that includes two fields.

Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure if this will work, but give it a shot:

<input type='checkbox' name='mailinglist_subscribe' value='your_mailing_list' checked="checked" />

EDIT - sorry, that would be for the Registration page…. you’d have to manipulate it for Edit Page… if it’ll work.

Thanks, but it didn’t work. I checked the email list and the person was not registered.

I posted a question on the MatrixWatch site announcement and sent a email to the guy who developed modernmoms - but no answer yet.

Maybe you can ask them what they did. You might have a more “pull”!

Before I say it didn’t work, was your code for EE built in mailinglist or freeform?
