Moving and/or Re-Arranging Profile Questions | Forum

I'm having trouble re-arranging profile questions. When I click on each question and get the "cross-hairs" to try to move them, I see a few dashline empty boxes across my screen and the page becomes very long.

I'm using (and have tried) Firefox, Chrome and IE with all latest updates. Running on Windows 8 PC or Windows 7 PC (some laptop tries and some desktop tries).

I'm running the "Professional" free theme.

So in short, I would like to rearrange profile questions and also delete some that aren't letting me delete them.

Thank you for your help.

Brenton, as far as I understood you just try to drag and drop to change the position of the questions. 


While doing this, can you please enable firebug console in Firefox and repeat your steps, check if you have any errors in the console. Provide screenshot of those errors. 
As to the questions you're trying to delete - which questions exactly are you trying to delete?

Thank you, ross.


My first issue with rearranging has been resolved. I just didn't have the cron job set up yet. 


For deleting, I was trying to delete GENDER and Birthdate. I can see why Birthdate may not be deleted. But for my circumstance I know personally all of the members and would know the would be members. Our oxwall site will simply be a communication platform, so birth date is something we'd prefer not to use. Gender is simply not important to our needs.


Also, I would like for username to be able to be two separate words (not connected via hyphen or underscore) so that one may use the name of their company per se or their real name as a user name. In our situation the company name is best but most member will prefer to see their company name as it appears anywhere else (such as their marketing, website or any other copy material).


Thank you so much. I appreciate your time.

Brenton, unfortunately you cannot delete Birthday and Gender profile questions as they are core profile questions

To make a username to accept two separate words is considered as a custom code modifications. 


You will need to hire a programmer to do that for you, if you can't do that on your own. 

You can do that here: http://www.oxwall.org/market/specialists


Also you can make a post in the custom code modification section of the forum, probably some community members will assist you in doing this.
