XF 2.3 Display options to make the membership number more visible on a mobile device?

[ChrisArthur7769]

Hi,

Our forum is the basis of a real life Club, and we need users to provide their forum user / member number when they book events etc, but people really struggle to find their membership number even when it is explained to them

On a PC, it is quite simple (hover over the username, and it is displayed in the bottom left corner)

Is there any way of making it easier to find on a mobile device - e.g. in your profile details, as the only way we have been able to find it is very complicated:

Find a post you have made (a problem when new members have yet to post!)
Turn your device to landscape
You then see the number in your profile information box on the left-hand side of the screen

Seems quite convoluted, and I think there must already be an easier way / another option for displaying the membership number?

Thanks very much,

Cassie

What is the membership number?
Is it a custom profile field?

If so, it will be in their account: https://xenforo.com/community/account/account-details

I believe that it is the number assigned when a person registers - it doesn't appear in the account details section you have suggested sadly

It is the number at the very end of the web address that shows in the bottom left corner when you hover over someone's username on a PC (yours is 521 on here )

Oh, you mean the user ID.

That's available in the URL for their account page.

However, if you want to make it really obvious and simple, edit the account_details template and add the highlighted text in the location shown.

<xf:formrow
    label="Membership number">
    {$xf.visitor.user_id}
</xf:formrow>

The result:

That's great, thanks, works really well on the PC, but it doesn't appear to work on a phone?

Any ideas please, thanks!

There should be no difference unless you are using a custom style which does something to remove it.

I refreshed everything and now all working, thanks
