Hey people,
I’ve had an idea, why not add more inputs to the sign up page? Users will be able to customize their profile right there, some of the inputs I was thinking that could be added could be :
· Replit Username
· Location
· Bio
Personally I think this would be great, the profiles would be more stylish!
Good idea but 2 things. I dont think this is possible since those fields are built into discourse so we cant modify unlike the Replit username where its a custom field so we can modify it. And with the bio there are some restrictions (forgetting what they are) on what can go in a bio if the user is TL0 witch everyone is when they first join.
Yeah, I understand bio restrictions, so maybe get that off. But you can actually add fields, this was mentioned on meta (discourse):
It’s all well explained and a lot of things can be added, I think that you can also add Oauth’s from google, facebook…
Yea that’s how we made the Replit username. I have read that thoroughly many times for this bug report. But if we make a location field it would not be the same as the default one possibly causing problems
Thats something else. Im forgetting how to do it.
