| It might have been easy for the experienced user who used User Field before. But it is extremely difficult for inexperienced and new users. Great MOD. Hope you find time to put it up. |

I can sort out a dbs file to do the db updates, should have one lying around somewhere.
If you have got a dbs file already, that would be most helpful; otherwise I'll reverse-engineer the file changes (not too dificult but time consuming) and make a dbs file (my first one  )
Update: I have tried to locate the database file on magicmushroom, but the nearest I have got is http://www.magicmushroom.org.uk/dbsfiles/mod_createdbsetup.asp, from which I have extracted the FORUM_MEMBERFIELDS and FORUM_USERFIELDS create and alter commands.
I have found several references which were not delimited with remarks, and even one which does not seem to be used  . I'm writing up all the changes as I make them, and will send it to you when I get it running for possible use in the readme. Since I'm using the ServerHacker version I expect some of my line numbers will differ from your version, and from standard Snitz. |

I got it working on my development PC this morning. Looks good so far 
There are 5 new files which contain most of the new code, and including a myupdate.asp instead of a dbs file.
There are 6 program files to be changed, and for these I am listing the changes (rather than including my new versions) in order to make it easier to install on other versions of Snitz. I will also need to try following my directions on plain Snitz 3.04.03 in order to check that all the existing code segments are there.

donburch,
if you mail it me when it's ready, I will check it over to make sure there haven't been any newer fixes to the code. |

I sent an email via this board.
Unfortunately my web host is migrationg to IIS5 at the moment, and I am having troubles connecting to my site via FTP, so aren't able to give my changes a propper test yet.

Huw, I'm concerned (a) that if I publish a link to my file here, that other people will rush to implement it; and (b) that people will look to me for support.
I certainly don't want to take any credit for this - all I have done is to search for key phrases in your code, copy-and-paste into ServerHackers code, and write a readme file detailing all the changes. With my web host upgrade, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out thoroughly.
I do hope that you can use my readme to bring the "official" release of this mod sooner, because there seem to be a large number of people waiting for it.
Anyway, after my web host upgrade, the file is no longer at the URL I gave. Now at [ url removed to allow the code to be finalised before general release by HuwR ].
Note that this is only a beta. The readme.htm is quite detailed, listing all the code which I changed in the ServerHacker version. When I get a moment I will do the same exercise to get line numbers for plain Snitz 3.04.
Cheers,
Don Burch |

| Thats Ok, I will support it, so no need to panic , I just wanted to make sure there had been no other fixes since you downloaded the code, and no glaring mistakes in your read me. |

Great job! I downloaded it and tried it on 3.4.03. There is a problem after click on New button and click on edit link to edit the newly added field. Popup windows shows internal server error 500. pop_admin_record.asp?utable=...

More detail please ?
 It sounds like you are clicking the New button and and edit link in admin_user_fields.asp ?
Have you run the included myupdate.asp ? This creates the new data tables.
What is the full error message, including the line number ? |

Yes, it is admin_user_fields.asp screen.
When I move the mouse over edit link, it shows:
javascript:openWindow('pop_admin_record.asp?uTable=FORUM_USERFIELDS&USR_FIELD_ID=3&iPage=1')
I ran myupdate.asp first and there is no line number in the return error page.
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer
Is the last modification 9) in register.asp DoCount function? Just want to confirm as there are a few places that match.
Here is my sequence of operations:
I update all files
upload all files
run setup.asp
run myupdate.asp
then do a Add User Field to test it out
