Additional Settings For Custom Profile Fields [1.2]

[RateU]

I don't know what is the best method to use the input. I think it depends on how the layout you want and how you want to modify your usercp_profile template.

Please remember that by default, for the inputs, this plugin doesn't touch a required field, except for the Regular Expression setting (I don't want to remove it, because I really need the regular expression for some of my textbox). So, if you want to modify your usercp_profile template, try to think where the required field should be displayed (for example if you want to use tabs in the template) first.

Some references in this thread:

Basically, for textarea and textbox, if we want to use textarea or text input tags, we can use {VALUE} for the value of the input. With this way, we can modify the input (for example, we can use our textbox as color picker or date picker - validate it using the Regular Expression setting).

For the checboxes and/or radio buttons, here is a simple example for modifying it:

• Title: Favourite Games
• Short Description: What is your favourite games?
• Selectable Options?
  
  Code:

  Morrowind Oblivion Never Winter Night 2 Gothic 3 Final Fantasy VII

  ---

• Custom Input:
  
  HTML Code

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

  <br /> <table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder"> <tr> <td class="thead"> <div class="float_right smalltext"><func htmlspecialchars_uni>{$xtpf_data['description']}</func></div> <strong><func htmlspecialchars_uni>{$xtpf_data['name']}</func></strong> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="trow1"> <div class="float_left">{VALUE$1}</div> <div class="float_left">{VALUE$2}</div> <div class="float_left">{VALUE$3}</div> <div class="float_left">{VALUE$4}</div> <div class="float_left">{VALUE$5}</div> </td> </tr> </table>

In profile page (if we don't hide it):
   

Unfortunately, I can't help much with it because I think it's a subjective taste.

As I said in the first post, I'm not a coder, so I can't make it as a complex system. I really hope later we'll have a complex system like XThreads for custom profile fields.

I'm sorry if I misunderstand what you mean, Lee.
