History: User Preference Field

• «
• »

            tikiwiki >= 2.0
This field allows you to be able to change ((user preferences)) directly from a tracker.

The value of the field will be taken from the user preference, and if the field is changed the value will be changed. This permits, for example, for a user to change his password in the same screen as the rest of the ((User Tracker)).

!!Parameters
||Parameter|Value
preference|password, email
||

About Tiki4.0+, we also have
||Parameter|Value
preference|realName, ... (see below)
||

Tiki 6.0+, we also have
 have
||Parameter|Value

!!Configuration
* the tracker must have a user field of type 1 that will give the user name.
* you might need to set Admin Home / Community / User Preferences Screen on (e.g. for realName)

!! Why it is not working at registration?
* vote for [http://dev.tiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=3449|this issue]

!! Note
As of Tiki9, while you can use some field like country and user_information, they become text fields and don't provide a drop down.
