Comments
Hi Jeroen, tks for the plugin. I started using the profile manager plugin and it helped a lot, but I need a suggestion for the follow requirement:
One of the fields is Hobbies, and I want the new user to ranking (rating one to five, for exemple) which hobbies have more interest for him/her. Any ideia how to implement it?
For example:
Hobbies:
- basketball (4)
- baseball (3)
- football (5)
- soccer (2)
- hockey (1)
which mean that I'm more interested in football and basketball than in hockey and soccer.
Regards.
@aethiopicus there is no possibility to rate options from one specific field. However you could configure a category ("Hobbies") with all the hobbies you would like to be rated (configure them as pulldown with option 1-10). Thats as close as i can get to your wish. Maybe you could also check out the "Skills" widget (http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/release/151952/developer/c.west/skills-review-widget). That would probably fit your needs, however it is not available for Elgg 1.7 or 1.8, so that would need some customization.
I love Your work! One question to this plugin: how do I do the translation for my custom fields e.g. birthday?
Regards
Hardy
Sorry, got it. Just added the hint from Your form to the right language file of the profile module.
:-)
Thanks for plugin how to add birthday option mean is there is any other plugin that detect the friends birthday? Nice plugin Work Fine and fast!
Hi,
thanks for this last release, very good plugin !
However, I now have a new problem : $("#custom_profile_fields_birthday1").datepick is not a function
Is there a way to solve that ?
regards
Can gender and age be setup via this plugin ?
@lifeform age and gender can be configured with this plugin. It depends on your wishes. There is no such thing as a birthday field that will show your current age.
Is this plugin compatible with tabbed profile existing in github?
@ghumanz i don't know, you should try it out, but i expect it could have some conflicts. If so, please let me know so i can add it to the list of conflicting plugins.
Hello this is an excellent piece, but we could not leave it on because iteliminates the thumbnails on the activity page, and the avatar of Groups. It could help me solve this?
Thank you.
Translated with Google Translate
@Eloy this plugin should not do anything related to profile icons or group icons. I've not heard anything about this situation before, so please check if it is not conflicting with another plugin.
i installed version 7.2 half an hour ago and after activating the plugin, i can't access the site anymore but get:
Fatal error: Class 'ProfileManagerCustomProfileField' not found in /mypath/mod/profile_manager/lib/run_once.php on line 20
what do i have to do to make it run? and
what would i do to make the activation undone and have the site accessible again?
thanks
@ramadama just rename the profile manager plugin foldername to deactivate it.
@jeroen, thanks a lot for fast response/advice .. took some pressure for the moment.
is this something you need to fix in the plugin or would you suggest the mistake is on my side and i have to take another look into my setup? i remember in the first load the browser wouldn't find the start.php although it was in the directory. reloading managed start .. but resulted in above fatal error. maybe i've not uploaded the complete set of files?
Thanks I will check it on this weekend.
Hi, thanks for answering, I will turn upside down our network, to find wherethe conflict. I appreciate your attention and work, as the work of all is extraordinary.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Excuse me but it's our way of thanking.
