Hi Marcus,
Some of this is a repeat from what I have asked via email, but I am getting more into it and more questions are coming up and more need for clarity and support.
I was searching the forum looking for information that would help me understand in more details how to customize the member details/search functions as I am into configuring that right now for my site. Funny I ended up on my own post from the past. About that you wrote above:
Hooking these up with search and loading them together with the registration form is a non-issue. They are on my todo-list, and if you give me two three days heads up, I can add them in whenever and release upgrade files for that.
So now is the time. I need help with this. I would like to know how to customize the Membership form and make some of those fields searchable, ideally in a similar way that I think you have working for your Dating Match Maker function, ie, where I could have someone search for Members who:
- live in City: __________
- and who have the following bread of dog: __________
as an example.
And so many questions in trying to understand the Member details area and how to customize it.
1. On your default site, under Member/Settings/Basic Settings - If I open the Builder and look at the settings for box 2 where all of the details are entered, I see
- Box Type: Form
- Limit by: Add
- Format: Area
- Header: Custom Header / [[header_member_settings]]
I can't make sense of how to modify this page (ie to remove the birthday fields).
2. The next tab over on the site to Member/Settings/Profile Details seems to be created from the Member Basic Profile form accessed via Admin/Users/Profile Builder - but I can't understand how I can customize that either, or reproduce the logic behind it.
For example, in the description for Age it says: Display age? <!--parse:member_age-->
and in the Options it says: LIST:noyes_01, which is what it says for all of the Options on that form.
How does all that work please?
And then of course when can I have the functionality needed to customize the search fields per Member Profile entry forms created?
Thanks,
