Extending the User Profile page

Hi,

I have read the docs and other helpful posts on extending the user profile. I am going to need lots of drop downs and check boxes that will have one to many relationships in tables, I have followed the forum help and successfully create 3 custom controls for drop downs, multi-check box and radio button. I saw that the interface makes them have a getValue / setValue property and i have designed them to use this to get input. This is basically so that I can just have one control and change the input so it has the correct items and database write back.

Now I have tested, I "think" these appear to be the module Id or something I can't control?

Is there a way I can pass them a value from some db or mojoProfile.config or am i going to have to take multiple copies of the same code and hard code a value in each? Please tell me not :-)

Many Thanks as always

Matt

Re: Extending the User Profile page

Hi,

i'm not sure why whenever I finally ask for help i go back and check again and it appears to work...

It would seem it is saving it as the default value for that entry in the database, which, being as mine are custom, as long as I hide that entry from view i can happily use that?

I guess that rules out being able to show my custom drop down when other people see it? As in the directory, it just shows what ever the default value is?

Which I guess is fine to write back one selection, but in many cases they may be picking multiple selections and this would also ruin me being able to use this field to store a parameter. Please let me know if there is a different way for saving settings for profile user controls however.

Thanks.
