Hi,

I've applied the password mod (min/max/numberic) to my forum and also made more fields required fields.
I need to get all members where m_profile_update = 1 to redirect to the profile page when they next log on. Once they update there profile with the new requirements I need the m_profile_update field to change to 0 so they are not prompted again. The trick is they must complete the requirements and not be able just go into the forum.
Hope this makes sense.
I could send private message and emails to this members but half will not do anything.

What you're talking about isn't possible without writing a new MOD, as there is no m_profile_update field in the base version.<

edit - I'm assuming you have added the new field

. Save this as "whatever.asp" and include it at the end of inc_header.asp.

Code:

<%

strSql = "SELECT M_PROFILE_UPDATE FROM " & strMembersTablePrefix & "MEMBERS " & _
         "WHERE MEMBER_ID = " & MemberID

set rs = my_Conn.Execute(strSql)

if rs.EOF or rs.BOF then
    'ID doesn't exist??
else
    blnUpdateStatus = rs("M_PROFILE_UPDATE")
end if

rs.close
set rs = nothing

if cLng(blnUpdateStatus) < 1 then
    'Do Nothing
else
    Response.Write "WRITE YOUR MESSAGE HERE" & vbNewLine & _
                   "<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""15; URL=pop_profile.asp?mode=Edit"">" & vbNewLine
    WriteFooter
    Response.End
end if

%>

You'll have to add m_profile_update to the update statement in pop_profile.asp, after the required fields checks. Remove it when you think everyones updated.

Can you show me a few lines before I need to add it. Thanks for your help. <

Alternatively, dim a new variable to hold the value of M_PROFILE_UPDATE and assign the value using the chkUser function (see how the value of MemberID is assigned as an example) and then add a simple if check to redirect them to edit their profile if the value of that variable isn't as it should be (don't forget to add a condition to the if statement that excludes pop_profile.asp from the redirect or they'll be stuck in an endless loop). It might be an idea to add a message to the pop_profile login form informing them of why they've been redirected in case they think your forum's just banjaxed.
