How do I use custom member fields like grid/multi select forms etc
How Do I?
I am trying to use additional fields in the members area. I would like to offer members the ability to upload more than one member photo (ie: use grid) or during member registration provide a set of checkboxes and allow the member to check off any that apply. I have purchased both Dev Demon Visitor and Solspace User but neither are working for me. Solspace doesn’t off this functionality and Dev Demon has no support and documentation on their software does not exist and the software is very buggy.
Any advice on using additional member fields in EE ver 3.4?
Yes shame the extra member profile image was removed in EE3!
If you know how many fields you want it’s possible in Solspace User
Set up additional member fields (field type - text)
In the User profile edit form you can add extra editable fields using the {custom_member_field} variables -see https://solspace.com/expressionengine/user/docs/edit/#custom_member_field
So, in the case of an image create a standard file field. You have a member field with short name ‘member_photo’ you’d add a file upload field like:
<input type="file" name="member_photo">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">This will store the URL to the image in the member’s profile data.
To retrieve the image in the edit form
{member_photo}
