[nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields] NS Custom Fields

Usama Hameed

Hi,

The update added a separate page for the custom fields, and I wanted to know whether I could still add the custom fields on the user profile 'edit' page instead of a separate page.

Thanks

Nicolas

There is no such way. Current implementation It's like best practice from NodeBB Team.

@Nicolas ok. Thanks

Nicolas

@Nicolas Installed via npm, gives me compatibility warning and the /admin/plugins/custom-fields page is blank. Any suggestions ?

Nicolas

You should install everything through package manager in ACP.
NodeBB checks compatibilities with plugins. By installing stuff directly via npm you are bypassing such checks.

Version 4.0.0

Well, i couldn't find a Version 4.0.0 in the plugin install section. It says Latest 3.0.1

Nicolas

If you can't find it, It means you can't use it
Plugin v4 is for Nodebb v1.x

Here is how you can reach properties:

nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields/public/templates/partials/account/custom_fields_flex.tpl at master · NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields

Adds additional fields to the user's account. Contribute to NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields development by creating an account on GitHub.

.customFields it's an Array data structure. You can access element via index.

Tiger

@Nicolas so customFields.value[0] ?

Nicolas

customFields[0] - but I'm not sure if template.js supports such syntax.

Thank you.

@Nicolas

<!-- IF @first -->
something {../prop}
<!-- ENDIF @first -->

Inside BEGIN..END... if I recall correctly

Tiger

@Nicolas Hi, i'm still trying to do this. Any help would be appreciated thank you

Nicolas

I will add to TODO List, so in next updates, you will be able to target concrete custom field.

Installed, and added a couple of fields. One with Gender, with two options, and one with Club, with 42 options (all 42 SPFL clubs).

Restarted forum too.

Go to any profile to edit (user/username/edit/custom-fields), including my own, and the page doesn't stop loading - the progress bar (nodebb's blue line which sweeps across the top) stops about 3/4 across the page, and the little spinning circle keeps going.

./nodebb log not showing anything unusual.

Using v1.0.2 and 4.0.0 plugin.

Nicolas

hm, interesting.
Hard to guess, what do you have in console, when page hangs on 3/4 of progress?
When have you added 42 fields, did you create unique key for every field?
Did you try plugin with v1.0.0? I have developed v4 on NodeBB v1.0.0.

@Nicolas In console - the only "warns" I had was possible plugin compatibility issues with spam-be-gone, the Google & Twitter SSO plugins, and it skipped style.css of nodebb-plugin-newuser-invitation. Those appear anyway and don't affect the forum at all.

When I go to edit the custom fields in my profile, that's when it hangs, and there's nothing in log.

Each field had a key - "gender" and "club", with the same names but with capital letters at the start, and each option on both had an individual ID - all numerical (1-2, 1-42).
