I've made use of the "signupfields" component and figured out how to amend the fields required at signup nice and easily.

I need to add a "Preferences" array, but only on the user fields in the profile page. I don't want it to appear on the signup page. (ie its only optional - and not required for signup)

If I include the "prefs" array in the merge with the "gender" signup fields, it appears on the signup page AND the profile page. But if I split it out, it doesnt seem to appear anywhere. And I think that may be because its not a part of the "required" array?

This is in the init section:

    ossn_add_hook('user', 'signup:fields', 'signup_fields');
    ossn_add_hook('user', 'default:fields', 'signup_fields');
    ossn_add_hook('user', 'default:fields', 'prefs_fields');

This is the Gender function that works perfectly:

function signup_fields($hook, $type, $val, $params){
    $toremove           = array(
            "gender"
    );
    $return             = ossn_remove_field_from_fields($toremove, $val);

        $fields             = array();
        $fields['gender'] =  
        array(
                'checkbox' => array(
                        array(
                                'name' => 'gender',
                                'options' => array(
                                        'individual' => ossn_print('com:prefs:individual'),
                                        'couple' => ossn_print('com:prefs:couple'),
                                        'business' => ossn_print('com:prefs:business'))
                        )
                )               
        );              
    return array_merge($return, $fields);
}

And this is the code that doesn't work:

function prefs_fields($hook, $type, $val, $params){
        $fields             = array();
        $fields['prefs'] =  
        array(
                'checkbox' => array(
                        array(
                                'name' => 'prefs',
                                'options' => array(
                                '160' => ossn_print('com:prefs:160'),      
                                '161' => ossn_print('com:prefs:161'),      
                                '162' => ossn_print('com:prefs:162'),      
                                '163' => ossn_print('com:prefs:163'),      
                                '164' => ossn_print('com:prefs:164'))
                        )
                )               
        );              
    return array_merge($return, $fields);
}

Do I need to extend the ossnuser or hook this in somewhere else perhaps?

Any thoughts/suggestions gratefully accepted :)

Thanks
