"School" field on profiles! :D

[Daniel15]

Based on a suggestion from Obsolete Chaos, I've added a "School" field to the profiles here. To set your school, click on the "Profile" menu item, then go to the Forum Profile Information section. Start typing your school name in, and a list of matching schools will popup. Click your one to set it (Note that you will need JavaScript enabled for it to work, so turn off "NoScript" if you have it installed). Once set, this information will appear on your profile (but not next to your posts - Do you guys reckon this would be a good idea though?). I'll eventually try to add a subject selection thing as well, and display a member's subjects on their profile.

I tried to add most schools to the database, but there may be a few missing. Please tell me if I missed your school.

Hope you like it!

I'd karma him if my post count was high enough to karma people. Excellent work. The AJAX is nice.

Daniel15, nevermind, I realized I could add the school myself

Blame Wikipedia . The only comprehensive I list I found was at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_schools_in_Victoria, but it seems to be lacking a bit. Anyone know where to get a better schools listing?

Daniel15, nevermind, I realized I could add the school myself

Yeah, fsn_schools table in the database

Thanks guys, I'll take a look

And, erm, I've been encountering some problems in Internet Explorer. The code was not working at all in IE. I inserted a popup message saying that there were issues in IE, and it started working. Removed the popup, it broke again. Seriously, WTF?
So for now, until I find a proper fix, there's that popup box for IE users

daniel, maybe u should add more pop-ups for IE ppl, slowly and methodically converting them to firefox through insanity with pop-ups, and then make them anti-microsoft... hehehe

Haha, that's a good idea

Seriously though, the IE problems should be fixed now. For anyone that uses IE, please test it out and see if it works. Stupid thing

yeah, my school, Mordialloc College isn't there

It should be? Please double-check
