Hi, i want to show the Custom User Field in an HTML Box, What should i write for the code. Any reference and tut would be great.
Basicly its the third party website username/password for each indiviual student. As the students are young, i thought of placing it for the users for ease.
Attached Image: I would love to show the highlighted field for the users!
Cheerss!!!!
Dear Seth,
The file '/user/profile.php' has the code:
/// Print the Custom User Fields
profile_display_fields($user->id);
which is defined in '/user/profile/lib.php'. But as it is php you may have to create a custom block rather than use a HTML block with the 'php' tag as that I imagine would be stripped out because of possible script injection.
Cheers,
Gareth
Oh okay thats great. Ill have a look. The custom box functions same as the html box yeh?
As far as I know, but I've never created a custom block from scratch.
Hi Gareth, i tried searching for custom box tut, but i cannot find a good tutroial over the internet :/
Dear Seth,
There is the developer documentation on creating a new block http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Blocks and you could pose the question on the blocks forum of how you would call the user profile code from within a block or if you needed to create your own.
Cheers,
Gareth
Thanks alot guys!!!!
I got it done on the Logged in user, and added the custom fields below the block predefined there :D
ilovemoodle :D
Can you please guide me how did you add the custom fields below the block predefined
thanks
Hi Wasim,
I don't know how Seth did it, but it might be worth a message to him to ask.
Cheers,
Gareth
First of all you need to create the custom profile fields for your users
Administration > Users > Accounts > User Profile fields
and you can then load the content of the field wherever you need it as:
require_once("$CFG->dirroot/user/profile/lib.php");
profile_load_custom_fields($user);
echo $user->profile['yourcustomprofilefieldshortname']

Hi Wasim,
you can add following code in the myprofile block to display custom user profile filelds
$user_profile_field_rec = profile_user_record($USER->id);
$this->content->text .=$user_profile_field_rec->profilefield1;
$this->content->text .=$user_profile_field_rec->profilefield2;
