Implemented Custom profile fields

[Dream]

as per this thread:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/custom-profile-fields.3743/

where I was asked to post this on the suggestions forum.

Who needs this? Like this post if you have interest in using this functionality, tell why you would use it and how you would like to see the implementation, if it should show on profile, postbits, or other places.

Would be great if we could have our playstation ids under our titles.

This is the last piece I'm waiting for prior to migration

8 pages should hopefully demonstrate to the powers that be that Custom Profile Fields are very important and show-stoppers to quite a few forums from moving to XF until they're in the standard product.

It would be nice if we could get some feedback from Kier / Mike on this as to when we can expect to see it, i.e. whether its a high priority for them to add it or not.

Mike did post this: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/suggestion-custom-profile-fields.3806/page-6#post-159124

Which more or less confirms the feature will be added.

 

[Moses]

Ideally the migration tools would also bring currently populated custom profile fields from vbulletin

In text? That's easy.

We have said that it is targeted for a future version. Really, it'd be insane not to do it.

Small bump / question: Any idea when this feature will be added? 1.1 or later?

No roadmaps or plans have detailed this information.

Mike: We have said that it is targeted for a future version. Really, it'd be insane not to do it. Feb 11, 2011.

Yes some sort of roadmap would be nice for planning purposes. Doesn't have to be set in stone just give us an idea of what's to come.

Requesting roadmaps has given me a bad taste since around 2009. While it would be nice to know the general timeframe something is planned for, I'd be pretty disappointed if the feature missed the mark.

Nevertheless, this feature would be pretty sweet for 1.1 (or 1.0.2) hehe.

Before this thread goes off on a tangent, there is already a(nother) thread related to roadmaps, etc: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-needs-a-blog-with-regular-updates-from-kier-mike.14436/

However, as has been stated time and time again, a roadmap has not been produced for several reasons: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...dates-from-kier-mike.14436/page-9#post-190467

Custom fields shouldn't be limited to JUST profiles, but to any node within the system. Something like CCK in Drupal would make xF absolutely amazing.

I agree. I have been thinking about something similar.

 

[Digital Doctor]

Version 1.1 is expected to have Custom Profile Fields.
Due Date for 1.1: Summer 2011.

 

[bobdolebobdole]

The only thing keeping me from buying xenforo is custom profile fields.

honestly you charge 140 dollars for a license for a forum without basic features that all free forums have lol, every single Free CMS system has custom fields except this one...

what is wrong with this picture?

 

[Paul B]

They are coming in 1.1.

 

[bobdolebobdole]

does anyone where where I can go in and change the text or current profile fields like location to a custom field name of my own in the meantime?

 

[skylabz0rz]

I will chime in and say that I have a client that loves XenForo but until there are custom profile fields, they will not migrate over. Hopefully 1.1 is soon!

It's been almost a year since this feature was requested. I hope this isn't a taste of things to come. I'm just about giving up on xF.

Patience is a virtue. Won't be long now...

It's been almost a year since this feature was requested. I hope this isn't a taste of things to come. I'm just about giving up on xF.

And they're coming in 1.1.

Development takes time, and properly doing it takes a bit longer, though I suspect it won't that much longer.
