Ever wondered how to include a core optional profile field on the signup page? Or how to make that field a required field? Or even how to prevent users from providing a non-unique value for it?
The associated profile field is the answer to your need. You can define an associated profile field and "associate" it with a core profile field.

while playing with this amazing plugin I came across an issue!
If creating an associated input field with one of the optional profile fields
- Web page
- ICQ ID
- AIM ID
- Yahoo ID
- Skype ID
- MSN ID or
- ID number
and set "use original" to "no" the user profile will finally show both the original and the custom created profile field.
All the other fields like
- institution
- department
- phone
- mobile phone and
- address
just work like a charm!
May I ask if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Tested on Moodle 3.5.1+, fresh installation without any other plugins installed
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
George
may I ask if there is any chance to get little support for my concern?
Best regards,
George
may I ask again for some help regarding my concern? Is this gorgeous plugin not maintained anymore?!
Kind regards,
George
All bug reports should be filed at https://github.com/rezaies/moodle-profilefield_associated/issues.
I can see that you reported the issue there as well.
I'll look into that as soon as possible. Hopefully next weekend.
Like any free plugin, I only have weekends to work on the plugins and unfortunately, there are not enough weekends in a year
I really appreciate your stunning work and I apologise for being a little annoying!
I'm very happy that this marvellous plugin is still maintained!
Kind regards,
George
would it be somehow possible to create a dropdown menu in combination with an associated input?
I would like to use the optional profile field "institution" on the signup page as required field and ensure additionally that users have limited options only. The reason why I would like to use this core optional field is because I want to display it in the user list via config.php ($CFG->showuseridentity). Unfortunately custom profile fields are not support by this method so I came across this workaround!
Any help is warmly welcome!
Kind regards,
George
I have installed this plugin and I am not sure, how to use it, If I like associate the associated fields with the users' city - how am I doing this? I actually like to make the city and country field a required one. Is that possible? Thank you very much for your help
Just released a new version (2.1). In the new version, you can associate the associated fields with the country field as well.
I am using the plugin to associate a field on the signup page to the Mobile Phone core profile field. When both the "Use original" & "Should the data be unique?" fields are set to yes, the plugin will not accept any value given on the signup page as unique and returns the error message "This value has already been used.".
If I turn either of the settings to no, the error does not occur. I need to have this field as unique but do not wish to have duplicate Mobile fields on the student profile. Can you please assist to resolve this issue?
