XF 1.1 Making member location visible in profile and mandatory

[onthefly]

Is it possible to make members locations visible in their profile and mandatory?

I did it with a template edit. But there may be a better way.

Any, staff out there or is this site done? There really seems to be nothing going on here anymore has the xenforo fizzled out?

There is no option to make the Location a required field.

To display user fields in posts:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> Message Elements

Or the profile page:

Or for the member card:

Does that answer your question?

To check the activity on any forum you visit there is always a link to display l;atest posts.
On XF this is called "What's New?
It's on the second navigation bar.


The results page shows the date and time of each post. That instantly exposes a "dead forum."
Of course XF is very much alive
