Addon User Extended by Phil Taylor => switched to an installable component!

This component extends the mambo user registration system by providing 15 extra customizable text fields. The labels of the fields can be set in admin backend.

The addon core hack is now an installable component and the edit/modify entries are now in the component menu. There is no overwriting of the backend Site/User menu and the files in com_user/com_registration needed (=useful for later changes of mambo core e.g. switch to 4.6, ...)
Of course Phil knows about these modifications

New in Version 1.0.3:
* updated menu links for easier implementation

You can download the new version at http://mosforge.net/projects/userextended

Hi!

Tried to install the component but got following error:

Could not copy administrator files


Thank´s for reply,

Looks like a great component. One question...

I understand that installation requires edits to mod_login.php. When I look at my mod_login.php file, I do not see the Edit/Update user details code. Does this need to be added?

Edit/Update User Details:
index.php?option=com_user_extended&task=UserDetail s

Any help is appreciated.

@karl700
Please check the file-attributes of the directory administrator/components/. It must be writeable for the admin.
The installation routine creates a directory called com_user_extended/ and puts in the admin-files.

@scottw
O.k. The link "Edit/Update User Details" (index.php?option=com_user_extended&task=UserDetai ls) is for users after the registration. Then users can modify their entries after registration.
You may put it in your user-menu.

Seems that this is not clearly described in the readme. I will optimize this. Thanx for the hint.

Found the problem by myself. Had installed the original user extended. So I had to delete this one and then I installed the new one from you.

Beside this it seems I have a bug in the user_extended. When edit profil in backend I get the following error:

It seems there is an error in the database.

Thank´s for reply,

Maybe there is an old/filled table mos_user_extended from your former installation?

A. Backup > Delete > Install > Restore
1. You should make a backup of the table mos_user_extended (with admin-backend or phpMyAdmin).
2. Then delete the component
3. (Re-)install the (new) component
4. Restore (import) the backuped table (with admin-backend or phpMyAdmin)

or

B. Maybe that there is a double entry (94) in your table mos_user_extended? Please check it out.

Hi MamboZ!

I did a complete remove of the old user extendend files also in the database I deleted mos_user_extended and mos_user_extended_config. Then I installed your component again. But I get always the the same error

My version of mysql database is: MySQL 3.23.56-max

Also I noticed when I tried for the first time to input the extended information and save I got no error. But by the checking the new input data the lines are empty. By trying to edit again the error happens with the error 94.


Thanks´s for reply,
Karl
