OK many people keep asking for this including me so I decided to take shot. Basically what this does is lets a admin from the admin_member_config.asp decide which fields they would like required for their forum.
I just finished this today and am putting this up so people can let me know what needs to be fixed. Readme is finished and should be ready for people to try this out.
If you could test on all databases would be great I have only done this on access.
You can see a working example here:
www.thebragboard.com/RequireMod/
Thanks and let me know if there are any problems so I can fix them along with the readme.

Thanks Max,
I am going to try and get the changes in the inc_profile.asp smaller still but this works for now. Well at least I hope it does. I hope people wil find this useful and give some feedback on what would make it better.
Anyway this at least it has worked for me < |

I haven't tried this yet, but I have a question:
Your Readme files says, "Upload the dbs file and run the mod setup in the admin options. Then upload the admin_config_members.asp to your forum directory."
But there is no admin_config_members.asp included in the download zip.
Did I miss something?

admin_config_members.asp is a base Snitz file; obviously what Jeff meant was to edit that file as per the readme then upload it.

| Actually I will look into that I already modified it as I had not seen a mod yet that has touched it so I made it possible to just upload over it. Let me take a look at that. < |

If you're doing that be sure to include a very clear note in your readme that people should preferably apply the changes themselves, only overwriting their existing file if they are 100% positive they have not made any other changes to that file.

Well-said shaggy, this would have screwed up a lot of folks who added other mods to the base file.< |

Actually, there is a note in the Readme about uploading the files if you have a base Snitz installation.
But for those who don't*, you should also include the instructions for your changes to admin_config_members.asp (as you did with the other files) so that people don't have to sort thru to find the changes on their own.
*My "Profile Song" mod changes the base admin_config_members.asp< |

It's intended to add options to admin_config_members.asp which allow the forum admin to select which profile fields are required for registration.< |

Also Jeff, you should rewrite your Readme to be clear... even with a base installation, people CANNOT simply upload your included config.asp. Unless you want them connecting to your database.
Hint... I'd take that file down right away if I were you.< |

Hi JJenson:
Can you check in your readme file:
& vbNewLine & _ " " & vbNewLine end if if strLNews = "1" then Response.Write " " & vbNewLine & _ " Latest News: " & vbNewLine & _ " " & Trim(cleancode(strMyLNews)) & "" & vbNewLine & _ " " & vbNewLine end if if strQuote = "1" then Response.Write " " & vbNewLine & _ " Favorite Quote: " & vbNewLine & _ " " & Trim(cleancode(strMyQuote)) & "" & vbNewLine & _ " " & vbNewLine end if if strBio = "1" then Response.Write " " & vbNewLine & _ " Bio: " & vbNewLine & _ " " & Trim(cleancode(strMyBio)) & "" & vbNewLine & _ " " & vbNewLine end if end if
This is in theings to be changed/replaced in the inc_profile.asp. There is something in the middle that is not really clear.
Thanks
