customizing profile questions

[kadir özden]

Hi everyone,
I want to customize profile questions under "manage">"profile questions"
Firstly, I need a combo box for a question but there is not a "combo box" option in the answer type. How can I add combo box option?
Secondly, I want to decrease the size of text boxes and put boxes side by side.
Shortly how can I reach the source code of the profile question to customize the questions?

Thanks in advance...

1. Well it is there. When you add a new question, select "Multiple choice" from the "answer type". And tick "can pick more than one" option. This will enable you to give multiple options for the answer and the liberty to choose more than one option.

Eg : If a question is..."your interests"...a person can pick more than one options.

And for a question like..."your favourite color"...you can uncheck the "can pick more than one" option. That way you can add many options but the user can pick only one.

So, you have the liberty of choosing the answer type.

2. Source code for the question - I am not really sure about it. Maybe you would like to edit the language you are currently using for the words that you would like to use.


Hope this information will help you out.

Thanks Binoy for your interest....

I mean "drop down select list" by saying combo box. I may be mistaken but I call it combo box.

I need a select list for a question like "which city do you live?"

Thanks anyway.

Hello!

You can find the code that controls profile questions within the /widgets/profiles. You may specificaly want to check out the controllers/ProfileController.php file which does the heavy lifting and the templates in templates/profile, which defines the profile question templates at sign up, as well as the files in templates/embed which contains the templates for the profile page display of profile questions.

As for the dropbox question, this is a bit tricky of a modification, but it is on our tutorial to do list. When it's ready we'll be posting it to the tutorials section.

Cheers!
Mike
