Question In account information there is a space for user 'Location'. The users location does not publically show up.

All othe rinformation shows up but not that. Why is this so?

are you using an updated theme that contains the proper variable?
otherwise you may want to check to see if the info is making it to the database...

curious
I have checked my database and there is records of users location in there.

I also checked the themes and they have the user location variable. I am using GL1.3.11 and professional themes. Nothing in the account information has been modified. All that shows up is ().

Is there something else I should be looking at? Can someone help me

just to be clear... the variable you're looking for is {user_location} and should be in layout/professional/users/profile.thtml.

If you haven't modified anything (template files or users.php) then I have no idea why this is happening.

Thanks for your reply Machinari. You are always helfpul.

{user_location} is there, tha is why I could not understand either.

Is there a limit to what people can enter there?

Thansk for your suggestions I will keep looking into it. Everything else seems to be working.

are you using any custom user functions to handle custom fields? if so, you may want to check your code to ensure that any data meant for you custom fields is not interfering with any default fields....

just guessing now. Giving it a try
