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

[miran]

I haven't been able to get this to work on v0.9.x can't even get the UI options to show up in the plugins tab. Has anyone had any luck?

[Nicolas]

It isn't compatible with 0.9, especially because of UI changes in 0.9 to profile page.
Also, I'm considering better options for this plugin:

https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/3837

For now, if 0.9 update isn't critical for you, stick with 0.8

Version 3.0.0

New version is available. Summary: changed idea how plugin integrates with User's page.

• Compatibility with NodeBB v0.9.1
• Introduced dedicated page for custom fields (i.e. /user/nicolas/custom-fields/edit). Removed dependency on Account's Edit Page (i.e. no dependency on theme).
• Profile page: added new Flex template that could be used with Persona Theme

I have two suggestions what I see in other fórum CMS.

1 - Support to links(Field type): I define URL of the custom field in ACP:
[link_what_i_want(ex: https://twitter.com)]: [user_information([email protected])] and the hook give me a result like this: "Twitter: ins"

2 - Support to images or icons in setup to show in templates, like this http://i.imgur.com/7aLADPS.png - This is an extension of first suggestion;

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.

[Usama Hameed]

@Nicolas ok. Thanks

@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

How to add a specific custom field only ?

i could add

<!-- IMPORT partials/account/custom_fields_flex.tpl -->

In my theme which display all the custom fields.

The things is i want to add a link on a specific custom field. I tried like :

<a href="{customFields.myfield.value}">link</a>

But it doesn't work.

Any help ?

Thank you.

[Nicolas]

Here is how you can reach properties:

https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields/blob/master/public/templates/partials/account/custom_fields_flex.tpl#L5-L6

.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.

[Tiger]

customFields[0]

Just tried it doesn't work.

Any other way to get the value of a specific custom field ?

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.
