Adding additional profile fields to members list page

[mr_William]

I'd like to add an option in the 'users & groups' > 'Profile' section within the admin panel to allow additional profile fields to be added to the memberlist page.

---

Currently, the option to display profile fields is limited to display them within 'profile' and 'messages'.

My proposed idea would then add the 'memberlist' option to the page.

a graphic to show the addition of the memberlist button in context:


My usage

I'm currently running a forum for an online gameing community. Some statistical information is used and being able to hold that within the users profile and view the communitys stats in one place, while being able to use the filters the memberlist page offers would be greatly beneficial to us.

As well as using it for holding stats, I'd use it for conducting a census of sorts, holding an 'active'/'inactive' multiple choice field, which would be periodically reset by the admin to allow our users to see who's still involved within the community.

Thanks in advance for any comments for/against the suggestion, also similar solutions to the problem would be welcome!

This would make things quicker to have access to other profile fields in the memberlist. Voted yes.

[LH Justin]

Sounds good, voted yes.

[Caihlem]

It's true it's a bit curious why you can add fields but not show them all
=> Vote yes

[Xenovive]

voted yes as also have a gaming site in to which this would be very useful-- voted yes!

[codestar]

Voted Yes, would be an awesome idea!

[Slothynator]

Voted yes! Definitely yes!

[mr_William]

anymore support on this would be welcomed!

On another note, is there any info/threads some one could give me to indicate how the updates are chosen, and the time frame we'd be looking at before they're implemented?

it seems a lot of the threads reguarding this i've found are out of date and unfortunately not too informative!

Thanks for any help with that and to the guys who've voted so far!

Good idea I voted Yes !

[-Cookie]

vote: yes

[codestar]

Will this be added? Will forumotion let us know if they add it? Is there a way to get them to add it?

[Slothynator]

no, they don't have control over their own employees (techies) i guess, or they're busy They'll say they will look at it, if it ends in the accepted suggestions it will maybe, but the process takes around 1-3 years.

no, they don't have control over their own employees

Forumotion doesn't have control over their employees? That's the dumbest thing I have heard....

the process takes around 1-3 years.

That sucks!

Dude, leave your garden... outside your lungs

ForuMotion has control over their techies. the ones they don't control with a firm hand are the support teams who are freebies and hence are only guided.
Then, it doesn't take 1-3 years but the time to code, debug and publish. This can range from 1 month to a year.

caihelm! that sounds like a much more agreeable time frame!

appologies if it's stirred things up; asking about the time it takes for the selected suggestions to be implemented!

thanks for all the positive responces though, not one negative!

I knew there was something wrong with that.. If I am paying to have someone program a site, they BEST do it the way I want! LOL I'm not paying for this, so I'm not going to get worked up about it. Though this would be pretty darn cool..

[MrMario]

I vote no because I can

[mr_William]

Thanks for the support MrMario, was shocked at first, seeing the 'I vote no' comment!...

Whats the next stage in the process for the 'accepted ideas'?

does this need so many votes to become prioratised and accepted before being implemented?

Cheers

Actually is more like whatever the Techs fell like putting in.

[KingOfSports]

I vote yes...

Don't get your hopes up though. If this does get the techs interest, it will be a long while before you hear about it again. 17 votes means almost nothing.

[Xenovive]

how about now theres 18 votes lol!

[Caihlem]

Same thing

Ask when it's around 40 votes

[Made]

I voted yes. This feature could come in handy in many ways!

Thanks!

[that70sguy92]

Vote yes.

[mr_William]

just callin by to see how this is getting on!

again, thanks to everyone showing this topic support.

Cheers, Will

[mr_William]

seems a lot of the support has fizzled out on this one!

i still believe it's a great idea that would benefit many users!

1600 views, only 22 people took the time to vote!..

thanks again to those who did!

[Day95walker]

yes good

[Lilimel]

I vote yes I would need this in my forum
