I have a profile field named Institution (and my users do have the field populated) but when I search using Institution I always get 0 users... what might the problem be?
Thank you,
Brian
Hi Brian,
Are you saying that you have added a profile field named Institution? Where are you searching?
- Profiles in Moodle 2.2.3 already have a field named Institution, so if that is the one you are searching, it is stored in the mdl_user table. You can look with something like phpMyAdmin to see if that is where your info is stored.
- If you added a profile field, the setup parameters are stored in the mdl_user_info_field table.
- If you added a profile field, the actual data you want is stored in the mdl_user_info_data table and that is where you would need to search. I contains the user id, the id of the field you added, and the actual data that was added.
Hope this helps,
AL
That helps indeed - thank you!
Yes, I did create a new field... not a great idea in retrospect.
