Topic: I have added fields to user profile how do I update them?
I use PunBB for our club message board. I have it set to not accept new registrations, and guests cannot view info.
We wanted to include address and phone numbers to the user profile. I have successfully added the fields to the database and manually populated the field values using my webhost tools. I have also modified profile.php and the language file profile.php to include these new fields.
I have added address, state, zipcode, phone, mobile, and workphone as fields. I am using the location field as city (and changed it to display City in the language file).
I don't know any php I am just experimenting using trial and error.
I have the display portion working OK with the code mods below.
<dt><?php echo $lang_common['Username'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($user['username']) ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_common['Title'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo ($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') ? censor_words($user_title_field) : $user_title_field; ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Realname'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo ($user['realname'] !='') ? pun_htmlspecialchars(($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') ? censor_words($user['realname']) : $user['realname']) : $lang_profile['Unknown']; ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Address'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo ($user['address'] !='') ? pun_htmlspecialchars(($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') ? censor_words($user['address']) : $user['address']) : $lang_profile['Unknown']; ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Location'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo ($user['location'] !='') ? pun_htmlspecialchars(($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') ? censor_words($user['location']) : $user['location']) : $lang_profile['Unknown']; ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['State'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo ($user['state'] !='') ? pun_htmlspecialchars(($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') ? censor_words($user['state']) : $user['state']) : $lang_profile['Unknown']; ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Zipcode'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo ($user['zipcode'] !='') ? pun_htmlspecialchars(($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') ? censor_words($user['zipcode']) : $user['zipcode']) : $lang_profile['Unknown']; ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Phone'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo ($user['phone'] !='') ? pun_htmlspecialchars(($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') ? censor_words($user['phone']) : $user['phone']) : $lang_profile['Unknown']; ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Mobile'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo ($user['mobile'] !='') ? pun_htmlspecialchars(($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') ? censor_words($user['mobile']) : $user['mobile']) : $lang_profile['Unknown']; ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Workphone'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo ($user['workphone'] !='') ? pun_htmlspecialchars(($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1') ? censor_words($user['workphone']) : $user['workphone']) : $lang_profile['Unknown']; ?></dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Website'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo $url ?> </dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Birthday'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo $birthday?> </dd>
<dt><?php echo $lang_common['E-mail'] ?>: </dt>
<dd><?php echo $email_field ?></dd>
</dl>I can't get the update portion of the php file to work. I have tried to change the portion of the file below. I have only experimented with the address field so far.
<div class="blockform">
<h2><span><?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($user['username']).' - '.$lang_profile['Section personal'] ?></span></h2>
<div class="box">
<form id="profile2" method="post" action="profile.php?section=personal&id=<?php echo $id ?>">
<div class="inform">
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo $lang_profile['Personal details legend'] ?></legend>
<div class="infldset">
<input type="hidden" name="form_sent" value="1" />
<label><?php echo $lang_profile['Realname'] ?><br /><input type="text" name="form[realname]" value="<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($user['realname']) ?>" size="40" maxlength="40" /><br /></label>
<?php if (isset($title_field)): ?> <?php echo $title_field ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<label><?php echo $lang_profile['Address'] ?><br /><input type="text" name="form[address]" value="<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($user['address']) ?>" size="35" maxlength="35" /><br /></label>
<label><?php echo $lang_profile['Location'] ?><br /><input type="text" name="form[location]" value="<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($user['location']) ?>" size="30" maxlength="30" /><br /></label>
<label><?php echo $lang_profile['Website'] ?><br /><input type="text" name="form[url]" value="<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($user['url']) ?>" size="50" maxlength="80" /><br /></label>It displays the current value of the field, but will not update when submit button is pressed and it displays the previous value of the field.
What do I need to do to have these fields update?
Thanks,
