pvc_users_info - User Profile and Contact Info Plugin
pvc_users_info provides the ability to create a profile for each author on your site. These includes assigning a job title, personal web site address (uri/url), nickname, slogan, bio, phone and fax numbers, start date and image for each user. All of this information is stored safely in the database and can be called by adding the following tags to forms:
<txp:pvc_author_articles />
<txp:pvc_author_bio />
<txp:pvc_author_cell />
<txp:pvc_author_date />
<txp:pvc_author_email />
<txp:pvc_author_fax />
<txp:pvc_author_firstname />
<txp:pvc_author_image />
<txp:pvc_author_lastname />
<txp:pvc_author_nickname />
<txp:pvc_author_phone />
<txp:pvc_author_slogan />
<txp:pvc_author_title />
<txp:pvc_author_web /> <txp:if_pvc_author_web />
Tag attributes are outlined in the help

Re: pvc_users_info - User Profile and Contact Info Plugin
After installing the plugin shows in the plugins tab with the name compile_pvc_users is this correct?
Accessing the User Profiles tab gives errors in Textpattern version 4.0.6 (r2969).

Re: pvc_users_info - User Profile and Contact Info Plugin
Why is the plugin text file inside zip? It’s just small text-file, so why?
Edit: Bugged it for 1 minutes. Some bugs to report:
- Many double doSlash(es) (using doslash inside fetch(); it already uses it). This will cause unwanted results if strings includes escaped characters.
- Config file isn’t exactly used anymore so much anymore, so you should use txp_prefs table instead $txpcfg array.
- Some db checks are nice, but kinda unessasery. They do add backwards compatiblity, but server’s defaults are usually correct by default.
Nice job with the plugin. Keep it up :)

Re: pvc_users_info - User Profile and Contact Info Plugin
@MattD It should actually be pvc_users_info That was due to an error in my recently upload. Try redownloading the problem has been fixed.
@Gocom It is zipped so that the link is download as opposed to just opening it in your browser window.

Re: pvc_users_info - User Profile and Contact Info Plugin
Peter, I still get the errors above. It looks like it creates the new table with my table prefix (mytxp_txp_pvc_users_info) but then doesn’t use the table prefix later on.

Re: pvc_users_info - User Profile and Contact Info Plugin
@MattD sorry about that. I’ll probably have to do some pretty major updates to make sure everything is working in 4.0.7. I’ll address the DB error problems at that time.

Re: pvc_users_info - User Profile and Contact Info Plugin
Hello,
a maybe not so important security issue.
A normal user can see and edit all other user profiles, the means also the administrators profile.
Is this intended?
Textpattern-Version: 4.0.7 (r3033)
Perhaps for a future release, it would be nice to integrate the zem_contact_reborn plugin, instead of showing email addresses directly.

Re: pvc_users_info - User Profile and Contact Info Plugin
This plugin is fantastic, but it would be better if it were more tightly integrated in with the default user panel, I mean you already have email address and username, would be possible to add to the standard user panel, instead of creating a new one?
Also what about being able to choose fields? So you create a new field, say called Favorite Game, and the tage would be:
<txp:pvc_author field=“favorite_game” />
Would allow us to have loads of different fields, that are more customed towards our own sites. x

@Katalonian
Be sure to set up the profiles under Admin > User Profiles
Then just use the template tags like any other. See the help file for the full list of tags.
