[For 1.6] MyShowcase System 2.5.2

Awesome! Thank you so much for the quick response.

Great and you are welcome.

I've got it working, except when I attempt to make a new entry I get:

No results returned for table lookup. Data is missing.

All my db entries have options and it's visible in the database, so I'm not sure what this issue is here.

You have to have a "0/None Selected" option in all the DB fields since the queries use a massive join and if the data is not found, the join fails. Since the default value for any db type field is "0", the options need to include the "0" so it can match.

So verify that the db fields all have a "0" option, it can be where ever in the list, just needs to be there.

There's a few more options/features I'd love to see, but was wondering if there was an easy way to hack them for the time-being...

1) Restrict the modification of certain fields per usergroup.
2) Display/link to a user's showcase entries in their profile.
3) A way to display myshowcase fields individually in the template; i.e. fields birthday birthmonth and birthyear shouldn't be in separate lines, but moved to display together on one line.
4) Limit the amount of showcase entries a user can have based on group, but make it over-ridable so admins can add extra on a per-user basis.
5) Have a section in the UCP that shows a user their pending showcases, active showcases, as well as the amount out of their limit that they have. Maybe the option to "retire" a showcase entry so it doesn't count towards that limit?

Basically, I'm using this as an RPG/Character sheet system, since it's the closest thing I've found, and these options would make it pretty perfect for that!

1) That is asking a lot. Since there are unlimited field possibilities of unlimited showcases, over unlimited groups, the performance impact could be massive and coding a PITA. I can look into it and think of some ideas, but it's a big request.

2) I could add a hook for adding to the profile. I'll consider that. Want it optional like the link in postbit feature?

3) I forgot about that. That is why I support a dateline/timetamp field, but never got around to adding a "date" field that would show DD, MM, YYYY drop downs. Sorry about that.

4) Defeats the purpose of group permissions, but you can create a new group, put the users into that group and give that group additional permissions/entries. if an additional group, the would never even have to know. The system supports you adding usergroups at any time, its just that by default the showcase permissions are super restrictive.

5) I will look into the profile listings. That should not be too hard. I will have to think about the best way to add a "retire" option. Its doable, but nothing I had thought of before. Do you need to support the "Bret Favre" retirement plan as well? Retired, not retired, retired, not retired?

All of these things would make it a major release (version 3) so it may be a little while. All depends on real life.
