XF 1.5 Custom User Field Default Value?

[Gossamer]

I know you can't do it from the configuration, but is there a template trick to set a default value on a custom user field when a new account is created? I have several moderator-editable only field that displays in the member profile. It has a value from 0 - 5. I want it to default at 0.

Or alternatively, on the member profile, can you display all of the custom fields available, regardless of whether or not its set?

For something like this you would have to explicitly disable its display, and edit the template/s to show the value where you want.

<dl class="pairsJustified userField_FIELD_ID">
    <dt>{xen:helper userFieldTitle, FIELD_ID}:</dt>
    <dd>{xen:number $user.customFields.FIELD_ID}</dd>
</dl>

Replacing FIELD_ID with whatever the ID of the field is.

{xen:number} is important here as it will force a numerical value, e.g. an empty string would display 0.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

xen:number doesn't appear to be forcing an empty field to output 0. But I can get the same effect with a conditional statement. Thanks!
