I am using Boonex Dolphin 7.0 with the free license and plan on installing the Dolphinelite Sub Profiles plug in (an open source module) on the condition that I can modify it to work in the following way. I want all of each member’s sub profile to be unique for that membership level. When a Level 1 Member clicks on submit or save button, I want to be able to compare those fields to the Sub Profiles of all other Level 1 Members and reject the Sub Profile if all of the fields exactly or most exactly match that of an existing sub profile.
For instance lets say that the sub profiles will all be of some kind of collectable. So a Level 1 Member (username Jonny) creates a collectable by entering data in the following fields: Material, Color, Texture, Shape. All are required fields. Jonny enters: Wood, Blue, Smooth, Triangle. Jonny’s Sub Profile is created and saved because it is the first one of its kind. Another Level 1 Member (username Freddy) enters wood, blue, smooth, triangle. Freddy’s Sub Profile is rejected because it matches a Level 1 Member Sub Profile that already exists. Now lets also say that a Level 2 Member (username Jenny) creates a Sub Profile by entering the same variables: Wood, Blue, Smooth, Triangle, and because she is the first Level 2 Member to create that specific collectable her Sub Profile will be accepted.
I am a complete novice when it comes to php & MySQL. I have created some simple forms using php and have viewed a couple of tutorials on MySQL, but I have very limited knowledge of either. Any help would be welcomed. An example script would be awesome. Thanks in advance
