Provides full set of instruments to create custom fields in user's profiles: admin control panel (manage available fields), user account (edit and view fields);
npm install nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields
Preview of Admin Control Panel for Custom Fields Plugin, ver. 1.0
Currently zero themes support this plugin. With template engine of NodeBB, some changes should be made manually to the theme, if you want to see custom fields in the user's profile.
It will look like:
When I try to access user profile page I got error:
24/4 08:46 [27022] - error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'proglangs' of null at /home/apps/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields/app/filters.js:28:40
proglangs is the first key in custom fields. I use NodeBB 0.7
result.data is empty, thats why it has error, to fix this you have to add check in:
/nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields/app/filters.js from line 24:
if (result.data) {
var i = 0, len = result.fields.length, fieldMeta, customFields = [];
for (i; i < len; ++i) {
fieldMeta = result.fields[i];
var value = result.data[fieldMeta.key];
if (value) {
customFields.push({
name : fieldMeta.name,
value: value
});
}
}
params.userData.customFields = customFields;
}
callback(null, params);
@Nicolas can you show template changes for I found it in account/edit.tpl file.nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields/templates/account/edit.tpl
Small suggestion, check if Custom Field value is url and replace it with link.
filters.js:
4: var urlRegex = /(((https?:\/\/)|(www\.))[^\s]+)/i;
..
..
26: if (result.data) {
var i = 0, len = result.fields.length, fieldMeta, customFields = params.userData.customFields || [];
for (i; i < len; ++i) {
fieldMeta = result.fields[i];
var value = result.data[fieldMeta.key];
if (value) {
customFields.push({
name : fieldMeta.name,
value: value.match(urlRegex)? urlify(value) : value
});
}
}
params.userData.customFields = customFields;
39: }
..
..
53: function urlify(text) {
return text.replace(urlRegex, function(url,b,c) {
var url2 = (c == 'www.') ? 'http://' +url : url;
return '<a href="' +url2+ '" target="_blank">' + url + '</a>';
})
58: }Critical fixes are made, also plugin is published to Node Package Manager.
First post is updated, same as documentation on GitHub.
Nice 
I'm sure there is a way we can add something to core without having you required to edit the theme manually. What if it was a widget area in the profile page? I'd accept that PR if you were willing to change how this works
New version 1.1.0 has been released.
Now you have ability to populate Topic View with custom fields. Also this feature is optional, so Settings was introduced also.
@psychobunny I'm not familiar with widgets in NodeBB. Can you collaborate and give me some example? (link on repo, benefits, etc.)
@psychobunny Also I'm going to create another plugin, and I need this space in user's profile. Do you have any suggestions how I can reach it without manual editing also? 
For example, render numeric values under avatar as metrics or accountStats
<div class="text-center account-stats">
<div class="inline-block text-center">
<span class="human-readable-number" title="{reputation}">{reputation}</span>
<span class="account-bio-label">[[global:reputation]]</span>
</div>
<div class="inline-block text-center">
<span class="human-readable-number" title="{postcount}">{postcount}</span>
<span class="account-bio-label">[[global:posts]]</span>
</div>
<div class="inline-block text-center">
<span class="human-readable-number" title="{profileviews}">{profileviews}</span>
<span class="account-bio-label">[[user:profile_views]]</span>
</div>
</div>
Change on:
<!-- BEGIN metrics -->
<div class="inline-block text-center">
<span class="human-readable-number" title="{metrics.value}">{metrics.value}</span>
<span class="account-bio-label">{metrics.label}</span>
</div>
<!-- END metrics -->

Looks like it's the same problem, that part is tied to the theme, so it would need a widget area or a filter from core.
I can probably help with the widget areas if needed.
