Is there any way to add a field to the Forum Edit Profile that allows a user to control whether or not they recieve the newsletter? I am attempting to move the field from the Your_Account Edit Profile function to the includes/usercp_register.php file so that you can select to recieve the newsletter while editing your forum profile, but I don't really understand the code well enough to do it. Has someone already done something like this, or would it be possible for someone to do it for me?

Ok I had a few minutes so I wrote a mod for this. I tested it on this site and it is working fine. Make a backup before trying it.

Open modules/Forums/language/lang_english/lang_main.php

Find

//
// That's all Folks!
// -------------------------------------------------


BEFORE add

//Add on for Newsletter Mod
$lang['Newsletter'] = 'Newsletter Subscription';
$lang['Yes'] = 'Yes';
$lang['No']='No';


Open includes/usercp_register.php

Find

$signature = str_replace('<br />', "\n", $signature);


AFTER add

$newsletter = ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['newsletter']) ) ? intval ($HTTP_POST_VARS['newsletter']) : 0;


Find

$sql = "UPDATE " . USERS_TABLE . "
SET "
WHERE user_id = $user_id";


IN THAT LINE FIND

$avatar_sql . "


In line AFTER add

, newsletter=$newsletter


Find

$sql = "INSERT INTO " . USERS_TABLE . "
VALUES (


IN LINE FIND

, user_style


AFTER add

, newsletter


IN LINE FIND

, $user_style


AFTER ADD

, '$newsletter'


Find

$interests = $userdata['user_interests'];


AFTER add

$newsletter=$userdata['newsletter'];


Find

display_avatar_gallery(


IN LINE FIND

);


IN LINE BEFORE ADD

, $newsletter


Find

$smilies_status = ( $userdata['user_allowsmile'] && $board_config['allow_smilies']  ) ? $lang['Smilies_are_ON'] : $lang['Smilies_are_OFF'];


AFTER ADD

switch ($newsletter)
{
   case 1: $ck1="checked=\"checked\"";break;
   default: $ck2="checked=\"checked\"";
}


Find

'INTERESTS' => $interests,
'LOCATION' => $location,


AFTER ADD

'NEWSLETTER' => $newsletter,
'YES' => $ck1,
'NO' => $ck2,


Find

'L_INTERESTS' => $lang['Interests'],


AFTER ADD

'L_NEWSLETTER' =>$lang['Newsletter'],
'L_YES' =>$lang['Yes'],
'L_NO' =>$lang['No'],


Now also make these changes to every themes/YOUR_THEME/forums/profile_add_body.tpl

Find

<tr>
<td class="row1"><span class="explaintitle">{L_BOARD_LANGUAGE}:</span></td>
<td class="row2">{LANGUAGE_SELECT}</td>
</tr>


BEFORE ADD

<tr>
      <td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_NEWSLETTER}:</span></td>
      <td class="row2">
      <input type="radio" name="newsletter" value="1" {YES}/>
      <span class="gen">{L_YES}</span> ;; ;;
      <input type="radio" name="gender" value="0" {NO}/>
      <span class="gen">{L_NO}</span></td>
</tr>


Save and upload.

I will also make this in a text file and put into the downloads.

EDIT

You friggin rock Telli! I knew you'd understand. You think you could make a mod to add the "Extra Info" box while you are at it? eusa_dance.gif

*/ Edit

Doh! It isn't working. It appears on the edit profile page just fine, with the Yes option selected, but when you click on the "No" radio option, it selects it, but it doesn't deselect the "Yes" option. Then both are selected, and when you click submit nothing happens. I went through the code a couple times to make sure I hadn't made a mistake, but I guess it is still possible. I used the code in this post. Have you made any changes to the code in the downloads section? Maybe I should try that first eusa_think.gif

You have to be exact with the code. Its working fine on this site. And I will look into the extra info box this afternoon or this evening.
