how can i forced all my users to input the new custom profile ive just enabled?

Required fields are only forced if they go to edit their profile (where those fields are shown).

Would it be possible to setup a Xenforo NOTICE ... for those with missing information ?
A percentage of your members with missing information would probably voluntarily add the information if they knew it was required.

Make the notice nag them for a while until they do it !

Display offensive images in the notice until they fill in the data !

 

[swatme]

agree digittal doctor,

to provide targeted xenforo notice to specific users,
we need members to be forced to input the required field.
maybe after they login, they cannot post unless they input
something in that field...

The notice system doesn't have criteria for that. But you can edit the templates:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> PAGE_CONTAINER

Add the red code:

			<xen:if is="{$sidebar}">
				<div class="mainContainer">
					<div class="mainContent"></xen:if>
						
						<xen:include template="ad_above_top_breadcrumb" />

						<xen:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.field_id}">
							<p class="importantMessage">
								YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THIS THING
							</p>
						</xen:if>

						<xen:hook name="page_container_breadcrumb_top">
						<div class="breadBoxTop">
							<xen:if is="{$topctrl}"><div class="topCtrl">{xen:raw $topctrl}</div></xen:if>
							<xen:include template="breadcrumb"><xen:set var="$microdata">1</xen:set></xen:include>
						</div>
						</xen:hook>

thanks jake,

my question is should i change the blue color field_id text ?


my custom field title: COUNTRY

 

[Jake Bunce]

Yes you need to enter the field_id of your profile field.

 

[swatme]

thanks working good!!!
i set the font size to SUPER LARGE!
so that it will be offensive to their eyes

The notice system doesn't have criteria for that. But you can edit the templates:

Thanks Jake. I've three fields that must be filled. How can I modify your code?

Thanks again

 

[AndreaMarucci]

Can I do that?

<xen:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.field_id1}">
                            <p class="importantMessage">
                                YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THIS THING
                            </p>
                        </xen:if>
<xen:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.field_id2}">
<p class="importantMessage">
YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THIS THING
</p>
</xen:if>
<xen:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.field_id3}">
<p class="importantMessage">
YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THIS THING
</p>
</xen:if>

 

[Jake Bunce]

Can I do that?

Yes that works.

 

[AndreaMarucci]

Yes that works.

Jake it works but I've a problem. With the code I've inserted also the visitors see the messages and that's not correct. I would need that these notices appear only for the members of a particular usergroup. How can I modify the code?

 

[Jake Bunce]

Surround all of them with this condition:

<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}">

</xen:if>

That will make them not show for guests.

 

[AndreaMarucci]

Works, thank you very much!

 

[swatme]

what is the FIELD ID of "location" in XF

 

[Jake Bunce]

what is the FIELD ID of "location" in XF

That actually isn't a custom field. You can reference that field in the templates with this variable:

{$visitor.location}

Can I do that?

<xen:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.field_id1}">
                            <p class="importantMessage">
                                YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THIS THING
                            </p>
                        </xen:if>
<xen:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.field_id2}">
<p class="importantMessage">
YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THIS THING
</p>
</xen:if>
<xen:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.field_id3}">
<p class="importantMessage">
YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THIS THING
</p>
</xen:if>

With this code you will get 3 box notifications, I use this to get only one notification, maybe this could be useful to other members

                       <xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}">
                            <xen:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.regione} OR !{$visitor.customFields.provincia} OR !{$visitor.customFields.city}">
                            <p class="importantMessage">
                                we added some custom fields to profiles, once inserted  this notification will disapear.  Click <a href="{xen:link account/personal-details}"> here </a>to update your profile
                            </p>
                        </xen:if>
                        </xen:if>

@Jake Bunce has the variable changed in XF2 for the customfields or something? I tried it and it shows to members even if they have the model year car entered in the profile.

<xf:if is="!$xf.visitor.user_id"><p>
    Welcome guest! <a href="/register">Register free </a>today to get access to post and search the site! <a href="/register">Click here to register</a>.
    </p>
<xf:else /><xf:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.year_of_thunderbird_you_o}">
<p class="importantMessage">Please verify the model year Thunderbird you own to your profile. Enter none if you don't have one.
