Contact fields

Hello!

I didn't really know where to put this problem, so I figured to just put it here and if this isn't the correct place I would just move it (;

I have a question regarding the contact field: I made some costum fields, but actually do not want the default onces (since nobody will use them on my forum). My question therefore is if there is a way to delete these default ones or disable them or just make them invisible on the forum itself (and with that I also mean in the profile editing screen)?

I've seen someone do it before on another forum, I could provide a link if that is allowed.

You can only prevent them from being displayed.

Go to your administration panel => Users & Groups => Profiles => Press the :gear: button at the field you want to disable, then untick "Profiles" and "Messages"

use this script just add the titles of the fields in

Code:

var ftitle = ['Gender','Birthday','Location'];

make sure its spelled the same caps and everything


--------------phpbb3--------------------
Go to Administration Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes managment and create a new script.
Title: Your choice
Placement: In all the pages
Paste the code below and submit :

Code:

$(function(){

var ftitle = ['Gender','Birthday','Location'];
var thiloc = location.href;
if(thiloc.match('editprofile')){
$(function(){$('.panel fieldset dl').each(function(index){
    for(var i=0;i<ftitle.length;i++){
        if($(this).html().match(ftitle[i])){
        $(this).attr('style','display:none;');
            }
      }})})}});

-----------------phpbb2-------------------

Code:

$(function(){

var ftitle = ['Gender','Birthday','Location'];
var thiloc = location.href;
if(thiloc.match('editprofile')){
$(function(){$('#register tr').each(function(index){
    for(var i=0;i<ftitle.length;i++){
        if($(this).html().match(ftitle[i])){
        $(this).attr('style','display:none;');
            }
      }})})}});

@ Ramdaman; I've already done that yes and also set that only administrators can edit them, but it still annoys me since it feels like I'm hiding something from them.

@ Twisted Mods; I use Phpbb2 so I used that code, but sadly it doesn't seem to work?

If a member does not want those fields to appear, all he/she has to do is not fill in those fields.

No you don't get it: the fields are unnecessary for the type of forum I'm making (a RPG forum), so I do not need them. I could hover use the function of the contact fields to let them link other character related stuff on their profiles and messages: that's my goal.
However there are some members that do not understand and start messing up my layout when they fill in those default fields, but I find it rude to say: 'Don't do it.' Since it's a little bit misleading to let them be there but not letting them use them, so that's why I want to delete them.

I hope that this information makes everything a little bit clear.

can you provide me with a test account via pm so i can look at your edit profile page to see if anything is different

O I forgot to edit my post!
I looked at it again like a minute after I posted it and saw that I forgot a ' - after that it worked just fine!

Sorry for the misunderstandig (because of my blindness).

Thank you very much!
