Custom Character Fields

This custom code hook is part of the Profile and Chargen plugins.

With custom code, you can add new fields to the character profile and/or chargen. There is an entire step-by-step tutorial for doing this, using Character Goals as an example. Below is a quick reference to the files you’ll need to modify.

Profile Display

You can add a new tab for your custom data to the “System” section of the profile.

• Define the tab navigation control: ares-webportal/app/templates/components/profile-custom-tabs.hbs
• Define the tab contents: ares-webportal/app/templates/components/profile-custom.hbs
• Add any buttons or actions, if needed: ares-webportal/app/components/profile-custom-tabs.js
• Add the code to return data to the web: aresmush/plugins/profile/custom_char_fields.rb (get_fields_for_viewing)

Profile Editing

You can add a new tab with controls to edit your custom data in the profile edit screen.

• Define the tab navigation control: ares-webportal/app/templates/components/char-edit-custom-tabs.hbs

• Define the tab navigation control: ares-webportal/app/templates/components/chargen-custom-tabs.hbs
