Custom field inquiry

[DaHiA]

I'm 100% positive that i ran the db update successfully
regarding files updating, im not using all new files because i manage to merge some with old.

Would you suggest me to re-run the update from the previous version?

Sorry, I have no further suggestions. If it were me, I'd probably add some debugging statements in the code to find out what is going on, but that's not something I can talk you through. Hopefully, a regular support team member has some better suggestions for you. (I'm just trying to answer a few support questions to maybe try and relief the phpBB teams to work on the .com outage).

Likely you have a problem with includes/functions_profile_fields.php. Try using the new one from the 3.0.4 install.

I used a fresh file and overwrite the current but issue persists.

I think you'll be happy (well...) to learn that I could reproduce your problem. I replicated your settings and I don't see the field on the registration page either. I think this is a bug (either in the actual logic, or in the language of the configuration screen, because the "Display" option set to no suggests that the field is just not displayed in public areas, but it can be set by e.g. the user themselves). When .com is back, we need to check the bug tracker if this has been reported before and if not, create a bug report.

Edit: Here's the culprit.
Line 41 and on of functions_profile_fields.php

Code: Select all


        case 'register':
            // If the field is required we show it on the registration page and do not show hidden fields
            $sql_where .= ' AND f.field_show_on_reg = 1 AND f.field_no_view = 0';
        break;
 

This code says to not show the field on the registration page if it is "hidden". However, in the ACP, the setting controlling this hiden field implies it only has to do with the "public" display of the field, i.e. whether it should be displayed to other users. This is reinforced by the fact that the field is actually shown on the profile page of the ACP.
