I've had a number of requests for more detailed information when it comes to beta-readers. I'm hoping I can set up a beta profile setup based off the editbio.php page. The part that really has me stumped though, is once a member has set up a beta profile, how do I get the information to show up on their profile page? I know that I can make a new member profile panel to show up in the tabs, but I only want it to show up if they have specified that they want to be a beta and have set up their profile. Anyone have any thoughts or input? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ooo. I have this set up on my archive.
Our beta readers have to be defined as such by us, so I have a field in fanfiction_authorprefs called 'betareaders'. For the actual profile view in viewuser.php I have this code:
/*************** BETA READERS ************/
if ($userinfo['betareader']==1) {
$panelquery = dbquery("SELECT * FROM ".TABLEPREFIX."fanfiction_panels WHERE panel_hidden != '1' AND panel_level = '0' AND (panel_type = 'P'".($favorites ? " OR panel_type = 'F'" : "").") ORDER BY panel_type DESC, panel_order ASC, panel_title ASC");
}
else {
$panelquery = dbquery("SELECT * FROM ".TABLEPREFIX."fanfiction_panels WHERE panel_name != 'betaprofile' AND panel_hidden != '1' AND panel_level = '0' AND (panel_type = 'P'".($favorites ? " OR panel_type = 'F'" : "").") ORDER BY panel_type DESC, panel_order ASC, panel_title ASC");
}
Unfortunately, my viewuser.php is a bit of a mess so that's the only thing I can find that directly references the beta reader profile. 🙁

Thanks for this, Elle! A work project popped up that kind of put this on the back burner for me, so I haven't tested it out yet, but I'm sure it will help when I return to this in a week or so.
