Customizing User Profile

New Member Beiträge: 5 Beitrittsdatum: 03.04.13 Neueste Beiträge
Hi,

I've been trying to find a way to let users write something about them in their profiles, something like their hobbies so that they can share some more information than their e-mail, phone, etc...

So far i've created a custom field (personal-hobbies) which users can fill when editing their profile and in order to make it vissible in their profile for others, i've added this code to webapps/ROOT/html/portlet/directory/view_user.jsp:

<liferay-ui:custom-attribute className="<%= User.class.getName() %>" classPK="<%= (selUser != null) ? selUser.getUserId() : 0 %>" editable="<%= false %>" label="<%= true %>" name="personal-hobbies" />



The problem with this is that the text written by users has no format at all and i'd like it to be a list, something like
- reading
- cooking
- sleeping


Is there a way to make a list with custom fields?
Should I use something different than custom fields?

I thought it should be easy to let users write a list of interests, but it is becoming a hard task for me!

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you can define the values the user can choose from, you could use a Group of Text Values custom field with Checkbox Display Type.
