Additional Fields not Showing in Member List

I use a custom field, "favorite_character" in one of my fanlistings. The form displays fine (and collects data) on the Join page, but on the Members page, it just says Favorite Character: and beside each member, that space is blank.

I thought it might be because of the website template, which has it configured this way:
```
$$fan_name$$ 
$$fan_email_generic$$ - $$fan_url_generic$$
 
Favorite Character: $$fan_favorite_character$$
```
I tried stripping out the "fan_" prefix, but that just resulted in the actual code from the template showing on the Members page. Is there any reason why it wouldn't be displaying each members' favorite character? Where should I start to try and figure this out?

Hello Azurite,

did you check in the enth admin panel under database that the additional fields there have the same name you use in the template?

I had that because of the favourite thing. :)

I just checked the fanlisting in question's Database; under additional field, it says favorite_character, just like the above template (but without the "fan_" prefix, of course). It was my impression that it was correct set up that way--we're not supposed to have the "fan_" prefix there...but am I wrong?

It turns out all of my fanlistings that I've set up this way aren't showing the favorite character on the Members page, so I'm wondering if it could be something else.

When you go to my Members Page, at the top there is a bulleted list for choosing Member Countries. The default shows all members from all countries, but the "Favorite Character:" field underneath everyone's names, emails, and websites is blank. When you click on a country, it obviously shows people from the selected country (or all countries), but then the bulleted list changes to show what people have selected for Favorite Character.

For example:
Members > All Fans > All of D177 and then it will show the members who meet that criteria. The space next to "Favorite Character" under each member is ALWAYS blank, but it does drill down to show their actual favorites. I think this is a navigation error that I somehow mangled with show_members.php or similar. Anyone know how to correct it?

Does your addform.inc.php look like this?

Favorite Character: <input class="show_join_favorite_field" type="text" name="favorite_character" size="20" value="" />

Nope--actually, it looks like this:

<p>Favorite character:<br />
  <select name="favorite_character"><br />
  <option>Amy Haskel (Bugaboo)</option><br />
  <option>Jamie Orcutt (Poe)</option><br />
  <option>Clarissa Cuthbert (Angel)</option><br />
  <option>Demetria Robinson (Thorndike)</option><br />
  <option>Jennifer Santos (Lucky)</option><br />
  <option>George Harrisson Prescott (Puck)</option><br />
  <option>Odile Dumas (Little Demon)</option><br />
  <option>Benjamin Edwards (Big Demon)</option><br />
  <option>Gregory Dorian (Bond)</option><br />
  <option>Nikolos Dmitri Kandes IV (Graverobber)</option><br />
  <option>Kevin Lee (Frodo)</option><br />
  <option>Harun Sarmast (Tristram Shandy)</option><br />
  <option>Joshua Silver (Keyser Soze)</option><br />
  <option>Mara Taserati (Juno)</option><br />
  <option>Brandon Weale</option><br />
  <option>All of D177</option><br />
  <option>All the Diggirls</option><br />
  </select></p>

Did I confuse the two places where the form's options (that is, what members will see upon joining as their options) and what the Members page uses to display who's already joined?

Bump.

I'd be happy to change the script code from what I have (above) to what ancalimesh suggested, but I just wanted to make sure that it'll still display all the correct options for the different characters without the OPTION tags being in place. If not, where does it pull that information from?

I am a bit confused because I installed enth, created a fanlisting, added the same field (I used your exact code) and the additional field shows up on the members list.

See here: http://everysongends.com/enth/testfl/list.php

The code for my members list template is `$$fan_name$$ 
$$fan_email_generic$$ - $$fan_url_generic$$ - $$fan_favorite_character$$`

The code in my addform.inc.php file is

<p>Favorite character:<br />
  <select name="favorite_character"><br />
  <option>Amy Haskel (Bugaboo)</option><br />
  <option>Jamie Orcutt (Poe)</option><br />
  <option>Clarissa Cuthbert (Angel)</option><br />
  <option>Demetria Robinson (Thorndike)</option><br />
  <option>Jennifer Santos (Lucky)</option><br />
  <option>George Harrisson Prescott (Puck)</option><br />
  <option>Odile Dumas (Little Demon)</option><br />
  <option>Benjamin Edwards (Big Demon)</option><br />
  <option>Gregory Dorian (Bond)</option><br />
  <option>Nikolos Dmitri Kandes IV (Graverobber)</option><br />
  <option>Kevin Lee (Frodo)</option><br />
  <option>Harun Sarmast (Tristram Shandy)</option><br />
  <option>Joshua Silver (Keyser Soze)</option><br />
  <option>Mara Taserati (Juno)</option><br />
  <option>Brandon Weale</option><br />
  <option>All of D177</option><br />
  <option>All the Diggirls</option><br />
  </select></p>

Okay, as demonstrated by my code snippets above, my addform.inc.php is fine, as is my template; the only difference between my template and yours, Jme, is the addition of the text "Favorite Character" on a new line.

I'm trying to figure out where else the problem could be--something to do with the members.php sorting method? Since this is something affecting all of my FLs, I'm guessing it's a file that's actually located in the enthusiast folder, rather than one of the fan listings themselves, but that's just my best guess.

Anyone have any ideas for how I should start?

Here's an example page of mine where the issue is showing: http://ssg.seventh-star.net./members.php
When I look at any of these members in the Enthusiast member management page, they do have Favorite Characters set, so the information is in the database, it's just not displaying properly here. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the sort methods I've enabled, because I have a bulleted list for sorting what should just be countries, but once you select a would-be country (or All Fans), you get the options to select fans by their favorite character...it just still never displays next to "Favorite Character" on the page itself.

Bump. Anyone know where I could start if the problem lies with the sorting method? I've tried re-reading the sort-altering instructions, but I can't seem to find where in my files the sorting is happening, so I don't know where to fix the issue. Starting everything from scratch is a bit scary, but I'm fine with re-writing files as necessary.
