1.03 - Allowing Admin to edit Custom Fields

This tutorial requires you to have Custom And Html Enabled Profile Fields. The biggest problem with custom profiles is an admin cannot edit fields. This tutorial will allow admins to edit fields (or make admin-only edit fields) such as trophies or points. You must have access to your FTP.

Step One
Access your FTP and go to Sources < Admin. Find and open ad_members.php

Step Two
Find (Control F):
$ADMIN->html .= $SKIN->start_table( "Custom Profile Fields" );

This is the table which shows all the custom profile fields that are created in the admin control panel (the ones you don't need the FTP to create). If you have any site made custom profile fields, the fields you will be putting in will appear before the site created ones.

Step Three
Remove the following.
if ($custom_out != "") {

Anytime you remove a { bracket, you must remove the corresponding } bracket. It will be the first } bracket after the one you removed. Please remove the } bracket right after:
$ADMIN->html .= $custom_out;

Step Four
If you are entering a single one-lined field, add this code underneath step two. $ADMIN->html .= $SKIN->add_td_row( array( "<b>ONE</b>" , $SKIN->form_input("TWO", $mem['TWO']) ) );

Replace ONE with what you want shown as the name in the admin control panel.
Replace TWO (Both of them) with the exact name you entered into the mySQL toolbox.

If you are entering a textfield, add this code beneath step two. $ADMIN->html .= $SKIN->add_td_row( array( "<b>ONE</b>" , $SKIN->form_textarea("TWO", $mem['TWO']) ) );

Then find:
'signature' => $IN['signature'],

And underneath put:
'TWO' => $IN['TWO'],

Replace ONE with what you want shown as the name in the admin control panel.
Replace TWO (Both of them) with the exact name you entered into the mySQL toolbox.

Step Five
Save, upload and tada! Your admin can now edit Custom Profiles.

Remember HTML will only work if you enabled HTML in the custom profile, and if you do not wish to have members edit (only admin), remove the codes of the fields in the User Control Panel Section in Profile Form: Main.
