• Q: When will be supported mandatory accept of terms and conditions field?

    A: Has been always there: is as easy as adding a checkbox and setting “equal to” rule to YES.

    Q: What the Database options do exactly?

    A: Basically you can:
    - empty or drop extra fields or extra fields data (inserted by users)
    - reset or drop plug-in’s options

    Q: Yes but will this affect other data? It says “WordPress Fields table”, this is scary.

    A: No, it will affect _only_ the data produced by the plug-in. Really.
    Also keep in mind that if you do NOT have to restore default values or uninstall the plug-in, then you do not need to touch them.

    Q: Cimy User Extra Fields is not compatible with “Themed Login”, how can I do?

    A: The reality is this plug-in IS compatible with WordPress 2.1 or greater and “Themed Login” NOT, so it’s NOT a Cimy User Extra Field’s bug! However I have tried with a little success a workaround to make it works, but first please understand that this is totally untested and unsupported hack, if you want a better one ask the author of that plug-in to support new WordPress!
    If you still want *my* personal and unsupported hack edit the plug-in “Themed Login” and do these 3 modifications:

    1. at line 773, after “global $wpdb, $wp_query;” add this:
      global $errors;
    2. at line 811, before “if ( 0 == count($errors) ) {” add this:
      do_action(‘register_post’);
    3. at line 871, before “A password will be emailed to you.” add this:
      <?php do_action(‘register_form’); ?>

    Q1: I got “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted [...]“, why?
    Q2: I got blank pages after activating this plug-in, why?

    A1: Because your memory limit is too low, to fix it edit your php.ini and search memory_limit key and put at least to 12M
    A2: If you do not have access to your php.ini you can try this workaround (might not work)
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

    Q: Your plug-in is great, but when you will add support to add more than one choice in radio and dropdown fields?

    A: This feature is here since ages, for radio field just use the same name, for dropdown field read instructions in the add field area (in the plug-in).

    Q: Uploaded images are not resized, why?

    A: You should add php-gd module (under Ubuntu install php5-gd package).

    Q: Why big files are not being uploaded?

    A: Please check this website, tells you how to change your PHP configurations to fix this issue: http://www.radinks.com/upload/config.php

    Q: Why admin user cannot see all fields even if I set to do it?

    A: Probably you installed the first time WordPress on PHP4 and you experienced this bug: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8317
    To fix the problem you need to create another administrator user and change admin user to another role and then back to administrator.

    Q1: I’m using your plug-in on WordPress MultiSite per-blog installation and when I register one user all Extra Fields are ignored, why?
    Q2: I get this error: ‘Fatal error: Call to undefined function cimy_uef_mu_blog_exists()’, why?

    A: Because you missed to move cimy_uef_mu_activation.php file please check carefully the installation steps.

    Q: I’m using your plug-in on WordPress MultiSite per-blog installation, I’m registering users on one blog but they appear on the main blog too, why?

    A: Because WordPress MS is designed like that and I can’t do anything about, however all extra fields and relative data are saved per-blog.
    Since I had already a long discussion with an user that didn’t believe this, don’t bother me to insist on this topic until you prove I’m wrong.

    Q: I’m trying to use a regular expression in the rules, but the check does not work as expected, why?

    A: Usually means your regex is wrong, please study how to properly build it: http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php

    Q1: I do not see Extra Fields under the page user-new.php can you add there too?

    Q2: How can I import new users with Extra Fields data into?

    A: Unluckily due to a WordPress limitation I can’t add Extra Fields into user-new.php but you can quickly add all the users you want using my plugin: Cimy User Managerhttp://www.marcocimmino.net/cimy-wordpress-plugins/cimy-user-manager/

    Q: I cannot edit neither delete some Extra Fields, usually after the 10th one, why?

    A: Your PHP server is probably limiting number of $_POST elements, Suhosin for example does it. Please allow at least 500 or more vars.
    http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/configuration.html#suhosin.post.max_vars

    Q: I am trying to change the fields’ order, but whatever I try it doesn’t work, why?

    A: First of all you need to select at least 2 fields if you want to change the order.
    Secondly if you change for example field n.1 to position n.3 be sure that field n.3 goes into another position and finally that a field goes into position n.1
    In short: every field should have a new position or at least the same one, but no positions can be skipped or be present multiple times.

    Q: When feature XYZ will be added?

    A: I don’t know, remember that this is a 100% free project so answer is “When I have time and/or when someone help me with a donation”.

    Q: Can I help with a donation?

    A: Sure, visit the donation page or contact me via e-mail.

    Q: Can I hack this plug-in and hope to see my code in the next release?

    A: For sure, this is just happened and can happen again if you write useful new features and good code. Try to see how I maintain the code and try to do the same (or even better of course), I have rules on how I write it, don’t want “spaghetti code”, I’m Italian and I want spaghetti only on my plate.
    There is no guarantee that your patch will hit an official upcoming release of the plug-in, but feel free to do a fork of this project and distribute it, this is GPL!

    Q1: I have found a bug what can I do?
    Q2: Something does not work as expected, why?

    A: The first thing is to download the latest version of the plug-in and see if you still have the same issue.
    If yes please write me an email or write a comment but give as more details as you can, like:

    • Plug-in version
    • WordPress version
    • MYSQL version
    • PHP version
    • exact error that is returned (if any)

    after describe what you did, what you expected and what instead the plug-in did :)
    Then the MOST important thing is: DO NOT DISAPPEAR!
    A lot of times I cannot reproduce the problem and I need more details, so if you don’t check my answer then 80% of the times bug (if any) will NOT BE FIXED!

    Me again, I just forgot, the Securimage Captcha need a legend like “Case sensitive” to avoid frustrations.

  2. Massimiliano says:

    Intanto mi congratulo per il lavoro fatto davvero molto utile e poi volevo chiedere un aiuto con 2 domande, fermo restando sono poco esperto:

    1 – Si può mettere un campo testo breve con un link ad un altra pagina? Tipo le condizioni d’uso? Se si come?

    2 – Come si possono distanziare i singoli campi aggiunti se sono troppo attaccati?

    Grazie e scusa la mia ignoranza.

  3. Massimiliano says:

    Ciao scusa il primo punto l’ho risolto :-) molto semplice mi ritengo un idiota ma mi siè aggiunto un ulteriore domanda, quindi ricapitolando:

    1 – Come si possono distanziare i singoli campi aggiunti se sono troppo attaccati?

    2 – Come posso inserire testo e come se fosse le condizioni di uso che non sia modificabile e necessiti di accettazione?

    Grazie e scusa

    1. E’ scritto in cima a questa stessa pagina, possibile che non si legga mai niente?

      1. Massimiliano says:

        Perdonami ho letto come hai detto tu e ho visto come creare campo che se non si accetta non registra ma:

        1 – Come si distanziano i campi aggiunti?
        2 – come posso inserire le condizioni di uso come questo esempio?

        http://www.cartooncovertalent.com/wp-login.php?action=register

        1. 1. Modificando il CSS della registrazione.
          2. Aggiungendo una descrizione.

  4. Massimiliano says:

    Grazie ci provo e scusa la mia inesperienza :-)

    Comunque davvero bellissimo e utilissimo plugin

  5. francesco says:

    Ciao Marco, ho provato ad utilizzare il tuo fantastico Plug-in con WP 3.3.2 e funziona solo per una ‘Nuova Registrazione’, quando però vado a visualizzare il profilo utente non riesco a veder niente dei campi extra perchè interviene il file ‘edit_profile.php’ del tema in uso e li allora mi sono fermato. Il tema in questione è il (Templatic_Classifieds) Puoi darmi una mano? ..sono disposto a tutto!

    1. Sembra che hai un template personalizzato, non posso aiutarti gratuitamente, supporto solo WordPress di default e poco altro.

      1. francesco says:

        Ok Marco, allora mi offro per chiederti assistenza professionale. Il mio contatto email è info@digitalstudio.it. Grazie!

  6. Magno says:

    Amici Buongiorno. Ho un problema il login. Dopo aver completato il modulo di registrazione con il codice fornito da me, il seguente errore “you didn’t complete one of the password-fields!”" Potete aiutarmi a risolvere?

    1. L’errore non proviene da questo plug-in.

  7. Bob says:

    Hi, I’m running the latest version of wordpress 3.3.2 and Cimy 2.3.7 and I receive the following error when trying to activate

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /DIRECTORY/wp-content/plugins/ssquiz/admin-side.php on line 565

    Any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance.

    1. Which should lead you to think that the problem is in ssquiz not in this plug-in right?

      1. Bob says:

        Sorry brother, I had so many windows open, posted in the wrong one.

  8. Nathalie says:

    Hi, really great plugin. is it possible to add a field with an clickable URL, editable by admin only. So basically, admin adds URLs thr user profile page and user will be able to click them. I’ll donate if yes.

      1. Nathalie says:

        Marco , may be linked image?

        1. You can add a description with the link for any fields’ type, but none is just pure description.
          Maybe you can use the ‘registration-date’ as the most harmless one.

  9. Nathalie says:

    The problem that every user will have an unique URL added to their profile (link to their Google Docs and Link to their Google Calendar, both links will be generated by admin for every user)

  10. Marco says:

    Hi, I have a problem with ‘registration-date’: when I create a filed with this type, it doesn’t show the field in registration page.

    1. That field cannot appear during registration, because is filed only after the registration, automatically by WordPress. It will be visible instead in the profile.

      1. Marco says:

        Thank you so much! Another question: in the registration page how can I mark required forms?

        Great compliments for your work!!
        Thanks

        1. Uncheck ‘Can be empty’ for text fields.
          Equal to ‘yes’ for checkbox.

  11. Bonnie says:

    I want to show all of the newly-added fields in my user data admin table. Can each new field have its own column in the table somehow?

    1. You mean the same as Users Extended page already present?

      1. Bonnie says:

        d’oh! Sorry! You can erase my question. i realize how silly it is now. THANK YOU!!

  12. Heidi says:

    Hi, your plugin looks great until…

    #1. The Extra Fields work in Firefox but not Google Chrome, the Extra Fields simply don’t populate in Chrome.

    #2. After the fields are filled, as an administrator, the information is no where to be seen (Fields are still empty in the “Users” page, even thought they were filled out during registration process)

    Not sure if these are bugs or due to my setting error. Please advice! I can email you screenshots if needed.

    Thanks,

    1. Heidi says:

      Additional Information:

      Chrome Version: 18.0.1025.168
      Wordpress Version: 3.3.2
      Extra Fields Plugin Version: 1.6.3

      1. Latest version of my plug-in is 2.3.7, wrong website?

        1. Heidi says:

          Sorry my eye slipped. Yes it’s Version: 2.3.7 for Extra Fields plugin.

    2. Please email me the screenshots.
      Any JavaScript errors during the registration process?

      1. Heidi says:

        I’m heading home right now. I will email you screenshots tomorrow. Thank you for your quick replies!

      2. Heidi says:

        OK, I gave it another try this morning, seems like it does not in Firefox either now, fields are not showing on registration page, even though they are created within the plugin. I have recorded a screen-cast for you.

        http://screencast.com/t/DkJMbIWhihHX

        1. You recorded everything but not actually a registration process… which is the one broken right?

          So…
